The latest flagship of Samsung the Galaxy Note9 has been officially launched.
The Note9 has a massive 6.4-inch super AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution.
But the spotlight of the Note9 is the all-new powerful S-Pen.
Now powered with Bluetooth, the Connected S Pen enables wireless control over the Galaxy Note9 within a 10-meter radius. One can present business pitches, activate applications, and browse through photos with just a few clicks. The functions can also be customized depending on the user’s needs.
The Connected S Pen pairs instantly with its Galaxy Note9 counterpart, eliminating the need to switch Bluetooth on and off. It lasts for around 200 clicks or 30 minutes of continued usage. It also automatically charges once placed inside the device, requiring only 40 seconds to reach full power.
It is not a Note device if the battery would be an issue. That’s why the Note9 showcases upgraded battery life. There’s a 4,000 mAh battery.
It also supports fast and wireless charging, allowing one to carry a powerhouse device that can be replenished with ease.
Enjoy up to 1TB of storage with Note9
The Note9 is the first smartphone to start with a base capacity of 128GB, and it also comes with a 512GB variant.
Both support expandable memory up to 512GB, so you can enjoy up to 1TB of storage.
Camera
The shooting department of the Note9 looks familiar. There’s a 12MP (f/1.5/f/2.4) + 12MP f/2.4 telephoto lens with Dual Pixel and Dual OIS found on the Galaxy S9+.
But, according to Samsung, the cameras on the Note9 can now detect 20 different scenes to automatically using AI technology.
The selfie camera has 8MP f/1.7 shooter with AF with screen flash to enhance photos in low light conditions.
Security
Aside from the usual security features found in all Android devices, the Note9 included a rear-positioned fingerprint scanner. You can also do face unlock.
Turn your Note9 into a working PC
Samsung did not forget to include DeX — even better, it does not need a dock on Note9. Just use the USB Type-C to HDMI cable to turn the device into a working PC.
