Leaked Galaxy Note 9 photo looks legit

At least the bright yellow stylus won't get lost in your bag.

I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

As we count down to the official Galaxy Note 9 launch on Aug. 9, real info starts to replace the speculation and concept designs, and this is the closest we've seen that looks like a real marketing photo or render.

It also comes via a tweet from prolific -- and generally accurate -- product leak disseminator Evan Blass. The photo shows the yellow S-Pen featured in the invitation to the announcement event, and confirms some of the speculation: a button on the stylus, likely for Bluetooth-connected operations, fingerprint sensor on the back and no notch, to name a few. The dual cameras are a wide-angle and telephoto based on the lens sizes. 

Here's everything we know about the Note 9 so far.
