Samsung’s website in New Zealand accidentally published a video featuring the company’s soon-to-be-announced Galaxy Note 9 phone.

The video was first noticed by the tech site SamMobile before it was taken offline, but another version of it is still live on YouTube.

The video shows the Galaxy Note 9 and its iconic “S Pen” stylus. It also suggests Samsung will sell a model with 512GB of storage — twice that of any phone currently sold on the market — and support for expanding that storage up to 1TB. That’s probably more than most folks need.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note family of products has attracted a cult following since the first Note was launched in 2011. That device ushered in a new wave of “phablet” phones with screens that were larger than traditional phones at the time.

Samsung is hosting its Galaxy Note 9 launch event in Brooklyn on August 9 when it will formally provide more information on the new phone.

Samsung declined to comment on the video.
