Samsung is expected to unveil its new Galaxy Note 9 smartphone in New York tonight, as the technology giant looks to strengthen its position as the world's largest smartphone maker

Recent market share figures show Samsung still has the largest market share
globally but a handful of rivals, including Apple, are due to launch new phones
soon as they look to close the gap.

Samsung's new device is expected to once again feature the Note line's
signature S Pen stylus, as well as a large screen and dual rear cameras.

Apple, Huawei, Google and others all expected to announce their latest
handsets by early October as the smartphone market enters one of its
traditionally busiest periods.
