Allegedly, the release of Fortnite Mobile for Android phones may be coming soon. But then Fortnite would be exclusively available for one phone for 30 days: And the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to cost over €1000.
This is how it looks currently: Fortnite has been available on Apple smartphones for several months now. Fortnite rocks on iOS and generates a huge amount of revenue there.
Players with Android phones, however, have to wait for the release. Epic Games has only announced so far that Fortnite will run on Android in the “summer”.
30 days exclusive for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 – thanks to promo deal
This is what happened: Yesterday, two sites (via 9to5google and xda-developers) reported that they received information about the release of Fortnite on Android from a trusted source. The source has reportedly been correct with such “leaks” in the past.
Here it is stated that Fortnite would be reserved exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for 30 days. Epic allegedly struck a special promo deal with Samsung. The phone is expected to be unveiled on August 9, with a launch on August 24.
When will Fortnite be available on Android? If the rumors are true, players with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 could play Fortnite on August 24. Perhaps Fortnite will even be pre-installed on the phone.
Fortnite Android: Launch for everyone starting September 23
When can we all play Fortnite on Android? That would be around September 23, according to the sites.
Do people with the phone have any advantages? Allegedly, players with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will receive V-Bucks worth $100-150.

What is so special about the Samsung Galaxy Note 9? The smartphone is said to be a “gaming phone” with special cooling. Allegedly, the phone is optimized for the “Unreal Engine” and thus for Fortnite Mobile. Thanks to a special 4000 mAh battery, players should be able to game for hours.
Furthermore, Fortnite is allegedly tailored to the new “S Pen”. This should make control easier.
What is the price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9? Currently, it is still unclear. However, it is assumed that Samsung will orient itself to the prices of the new iPhones from Apple. That would be a price of over $1000.
Samsung Unpacked on August 9 will likely be the big event
On top of that: In addition, Epic and Samsung are said to be interested in securing the popular streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins as a partner for the launch. It is expected that he will appear at the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the “Samsung Unpacked 2018”.
It is important: This is not official yet. Currently, these are just rumors, yet they are becoming quite solid.
When will we know if all of this is true? The Samsung Unpacked is on August 9. If everything happens, then likely on that day.
