Huge demand for 512GB Samsung Galaxy Note 9

The invite is to an event on October 11th, with the event to be live streamed as usual on the Samsung YouTube account and their samsung.com/galaxy site as well.

The invite says "4x fun" too, but we don't now know exactly what that will refer to. In a bid to stay ahead of the competition, Samsung has something special in store for fans. Also, while it remains unclear what specific handset Samsung plans to unveil a few weeks from now, it is highly likely that the device in question is the next-generation Galaxy A series. Of course, "4x fun" could turn out not to have anything to do with cameras and could refer to.

The Galaxy S10 could become the first smartphone from Samsung to use a triple rear camera setup.

The event will be livestreamed on Samsung's website, and while we can't say with any certainty at this point, it sure does sound like we're going to be introduced to a smartphone with four cameras. All the current flagships, including the Galaxy Note 9, come with 2X optical zoom and offering 4X zoom could actually mean a significant bump in the camera capabilities. So Samsung's next phone - presumably called the Galaxy S10 - may well have four camera lenses on the back of it.
