According to a tweet by tipsdter Ice Universe, the Galaxy Note 9 will apparently come in an 8 GB of RAM variant which will have a massive 512 GB internal storage. Earlier, it was suspected that the phone might come in a 6 GB of RAM model.

In a recently leaked benchmark scores, the performances of the purported device's chipsets were revealed. Per the listing, the Exynos chip faired mildly better than Snapdragon one. The Exynos 9810 scored 2737 and 9064 in single and multi-core tests, respectively while the Snapdragon 845 variant scored 2411 and 8712.  Even in the case of the Galaxy S9, the Qualcomm chipset scored lower than Exynos in terms of benchmarks, but the Exynos didn't do so well when it came to real life tests.
