The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 isn’t expected to make huge waves for its manufacturers. Instead, the smartphone’s release is slated to disrupt the sales of the upcoming iPhone X Plus, at least in the short term anyway, Forbes reported.

A recent photo has leaked on Twitter showing the price range of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The device has already been reported to be released in two different storage variants, one with a 128GB space and the other with 256GB.

For the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with 128GB storage, the ad shows that it’s priced at around 13,500,000 rupiahs ($933) and the one with 256GB storage is at 17,500,000 rupiahs ($1,210). While the price is a tad higher than it was previously speculated, this is because the promotional poster includes freebies bundled with the device.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with 128GB storage is paired with a free 32-inch Samsung Smart TV. Meanwhile, the 256GB variant is bundled with a 40-inch Samsung Smart TV.

It’s still unclear whether or not these bundles will apply to the U.S. market and reports haven’t been forthcoming regarding these freebies. These bundles are the company’s attempt at increasing the sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 as this may be the last one of the series if the device doesn’t bring in enough revenue.

Competition on the market is fierce at the moment and one of the biggest rivals of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to be Huawei’s Note 10, released under its Honor brand. The device has been outfitted with a 6.95-inch AMOLED screen, larger than the Note 9’s 6.3-inch display and the iPhone X’s 6.5-inch display.

Samsung has been developing several phones for its consumers and it seems it has spread itself too thin doing so. Hence, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to be culled from its production list and the company will likely focus on the Galaxy S10 and its Galaxy F, the first-ever foldable phone to hit the market. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be released on Aug. 9.
