Samsung Galaxy Note 9 forums are now open

“We’re three generations removed now”, Samsung’s director of USA product marketing, Suzanne De Silva, said of the company’s renewed confidence in the battery.

Other than that, though, things are looking pretty familiar – but that is no bad thing.

The Note 9 has a slightly larger 6.4-inch OLED display this year with the same 2960 x 1440 resolution. However, the Note 9 teardown is already out, giving us a glimpse of the internals and the inner workings of the phablet.

“S Pen is the core of overall Note series experience and Samsung has done improvement on the same which will drive the overall experience and brings in stickiness for note users”, Pathak told IANS.

The camera in the Note 9 will use artificial intelligence to detect what’s in a scene – whether that’s food, flowers or a sunset – to automatically tweak images to make them pop.

The new S Pen is the first to include Bluetooth connectivity. Thanks to this connectivity option you can use the S Pen as a remote for taking selfies or group photos, slide presentation control, movie transport control and more.

The Galaxy Note 9 will be made available in four colours: blue (with yellow S Pen), lavender, copper and black. It is good to see the rear camera with telephoto/wide lenses have even wider apertures and dual OIS. Both cameras have 12MP sensors and have OIS.

Also new is the updated Dex functionality. The beefier 8 GB/512 GB version will set you back by INR 84,900 (~$1234), which is still cheaper than even the base model of the iPhone X in India. That doesn’t change with the Galaxy Note 9, as they once again offer the best up-front discount you’ll find. That’s a colossal amount, and yet you still get a fantastic-quality phone.

In a thinly veiled stab at major competitor Apple, Samsung Electronics Australia mobile division vice-president Garry McGregor said the new feature was something rival gadgets had yet to match. Useful? Absolutely – but not groundbreaking. And if you then walk into a kitchen in which you have the new Samsung Galaxy Home smart speaker, that can then continue the track instead. There’s an upgraded phone with 512GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. There is also support for fast wireless charging, as well as regular USB-C fast charging. Coupled with a more efficient processor than last year’s model, the Note 9 could shape up to have some of the best battery life of a smartphone this year.
