The Galaxy Note 9, Samsung’s newest flagship smartphone from the Galaxy Note Series, was officially revealed last week at an event in New York City.
The new device comes with a brand new 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 Note 9 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.
The Galaxy Note 9 is the first smartphone to start with a base capacity of 128GB, and it also comes with a 512GB variant. The device also showcases an upgraded battery life—a 4,000 mAh battery which lasts for up to 24 hours on standby. It also supports fast wireless charging.
The dual aperture camera can capture Super Slow-Mo videos at 960 frames per second, which is four times slower than normal slow motion.
Now equipped with Real Time Intelligence, the camera can also provide more information about objects in its field of vision. With Auto Scene Recognition, it can detect up to twenty unique scenes and automatically optimize the photo, depending on the conditions. It can also report flaws, allowing users to snap professional-looking shots.
The Galaxy Note 9 meanwhile has a 6.4” Super AMOLED Infinity Display.
