Samsung has announced its latest addition to its flagship Note series \u2013 the Galaxy Note 9 \u2013 calling it the world\u2019s most powerful smartphone.<\/p>\n

Several highlighted features that stand out include what Samsung calls an “all-day” battery, a 6.4-inch display, and its new S Pen, which is the signature feature of the Note series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Note has always been our showcase for premium technology and industry-defining innovation, and Galaxy Note 9 is no exception,\u201d said DJ Koh, President and CEO of Samsung\u2019s IT and Mobile Communications Division.<\/p>\n

All-day, powerful performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A major feature of the Galaxy Note 9 is its 4,000mAh battery, which Samsung says is the largest battery ever in a Galaxy phone.<\/p>\n

This will provide users with long-lasting power to use all day for talking, texting, playing games and watching movies or videos.<\/p>\n

This all-day performance is made better by the new speed and power capabilities of the Note 9, which includes a 10nm Octa-core processor and an LTE modem that supports fast network speeds – up to 1.2 Gbps.<\/p>\n

S Pen and camera<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new S Pen \u2013 the signature feature of the Note series \u2013 supports Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE), which allows users to use the pen as a remote control for the device.<\/p>\n

This will allow you to take selfies or group pictures, pause and play video, and present slides \u2013 all through a click on the S Pen.<\/p>\n

Samsung has also included a new powerful camera which it says is the smartest camera yet.<\/p>\n

The new Dual Camera boasts features to optimise and detect flaws (such as a person closing their eyes) in photos, and advanced noise reduction technologies, which Samsung says will \u201ctake the work out of getting the perfect picture\u201d.<\/p>\n

Storage and memory<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Galaxy Note 9 will be available in two storage options: 128GB and 512GB.<\/p>\n

Both options will feature support for a 512GB microSD card, meaning the 512GB Note 9 will be able to house up to 1TB of data.<\/p>\n

The 128GB option will pack 6GB of RAM, whereas the 512GB will have more, sporting 8GB RAM.<\/p>\n

Other features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Running on Android 8.1, the Galaxy Note 9 includes an on-device AI-based performance adjusting algorithm, and it will also include a new feature – a Water Carbon Cooling system.<\/p>\n

Other standard features include fingerprint, iris and facial recognition, a USB-C port, support for Samsung Pay and Samsung Knox, and an IP68 rating.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note 9 will be available starting 24 August 2018, and it will be offered in four colour options: Midnight Black, Lavender Purple, Metallic Copper, and Ocean Blue.<\/p>\n

Each colour option has a matching S Pen, except the Ocean Blue, which will come with the characteristic Yellow S Pen.<\/p>\n
