The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is going to be one of the biggest events of the year in mobile because it's one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones of 2018. However, new reports say that the Note 9 launch could be an even bigger deal that previously anticipated.
Fortnite for Android will launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, according to sources speaking to 9to5Google and xda-developers. It's said that the game could available exclusively on the Note 9 for the device's first 30 days. With rumors saying that the Note 9 could be available for pre-order starting August 14th and then released on August 24th, that means that non-Note 9 users could have to wait until the end of September to try Fortnite on Android.
Today's reports also claim that Samsung will offer Fortnite gifts for anyone who pre-orders a Galaxy Note 9. Those gfits include $100 to $150 in V-Bucks, the in-game currency that can be used to buy character outfits, dances, and gliders. If Fortnite's not your thing, Samsung will allegedly offer free wireless AKG headphones as an alternative for pre-order customers.
Finally, it's rumored that Samsung may advertise the Note 9 as a gaming phone and that it could include a vapor chamber heat pipe to help keep the device cool. Also rumored is that Samsung could integrate the Note 9's S Pen stylus into Fortnite in some way.
Fortnite is one of the biggest video games on the planet right now, and anticipation for the Android version is high, especially since the game has been available on iOS for months now. While Fortnite doesn't really need much help promoting itself, getting a tie-in with one of the most hotly anticipated phones of 2018 won't hurt. Plus, there probably are some hardcore Fortnite players who will pre-order a Note 9 just to get access to the Android version of the game.
