The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has leaked again, this time in a photo showing off what's claimed to be the screen cover – which reveals new trimmed down bezels.
The current Galaxy Note 8 and newer Galaxy S9 have very slim bezels already but the Note 9 could take that to a new level if this image is accurate.
The picture of the Note 9 screen cover comes from reliable leakster Ice Universe who has a history of gaining access to Samsung phones early.
Samsung is expected to unveil its Galaxy Note 9 this year with new features that will make it the "crown king" of the smartphone market, according to Samsung sources.
Despite a trend of moving to screens with top notch displays – set by the Apple iPhone X – Samsung appears to be sticking to its Infinity Display.

This new model will still offer the camera, speaker and sensor tech in the top of the phone with a constant black bar across the highest point on the handset.
There will still be no front button, allowing for the largest possible screen which, thanks to Samsung being a display manufacturer, should be very impressive.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED screen backed by a new S Pen stylus for writing, drawing and annotating.
Samsung is rumoured to launch the Galaxy Note 9 around August, which is a little early but fits with rumours that the company is moving up releases to make way for the foldable Galaxy X launch next year.
Samsung reportedly wants to be the first company to release a truly foldable smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is rumoured to cost a princely £850 and will come in varying spec options.
Some variables include storage that goes up to 512GB, RAM that'll top out at 8GB and varying colours including a new "Teddy Brown" option.
The Note 9 processor should be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU at least.
Rumours suggest Samsung is working on an ultrasonic fingerprint reader that lives under the phone's display. This may appear on the Galaxy Note 9 as a world first.
Under-screen fingerprint readers already exists but these use light, not ultrasonics. Samsung's method should be more accurate and secure.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is also tipped to feature a whopping 4,000mAh battery that should make all day use a possibility even for demanding phone users.
