The Evolution of the S Pen
The S Pen is the signature feature of the Note series – it’s how users have made their mark and how Samsung has expended the notion of what a smartphone can do. What began as a tool for writing and drawing is now putting more power and control in their hands.
Now with Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support, the new S Pen delivers an entirely new way to use the note. With just a click, it’s now possible to take selfies and group pictures, present slides, pause and play videos and more. In time, developers will even be able to integrate the S Pen’s new and advanced BLE functionalities into their apps.
The Intelligent Camera That Makes Pictures Perfect
It can be hard to take a picture that looks just like the ones the pros take – but it shouldn’t be. The Galaxy Note9 builds on Samsung’s industry-leading camera technologies with new capabilities that take the work out of getting the perfect picture.
- Scene Optimizer: The Galaxy Note9’s camera is Samsung’s smartest yet. It uses intelligence to identify elements of a photo such as the scene and subject, to automatically classify it into one of 20 categories and be instantly optimized. The result is a stunning, lifelike image with bold colours and dynamic definition.
- Flaw Detection: The first shot doesn’t always come out right but the Galaxy Note9 lets users know if there’s something wrong so they can take another picture without losing the moment. An immediate notification will appear if the image is blurry, the subject blinked, there is a smudge on the lens or there’s backlight impacting the quality of the image.
- Premium Camera: With the unique combination of advanced intelligence features and leading premium hardware, the Galaxy Note9’s camera is the best on the market. It comes with advanced noise reduction technology and a Dual Aperture lens, which adjusts to light just like the human eye. No matter the lighting conditions, Galaxy Note9’s top-tier camera delivers a crystal-clear shot.
Premium Experiences: From Work to Play
The Infinity Display is the cornerstone of Samsung’s design heritage and the Galaxy Note9 has the largest edge-to-edge display ever on a Note. The 6-4″ Super AMOLED Infinity Display provides a truly immersive multimedia experience. Moreover, the Galaxy Note9’s Infinity Display is complemented by stereo speakers tuned by AKG and is therefore able to deliver a Dolby Atmos immersive audio for a life-like experience. Mobile video has never looked or sounded better than it does on this device. YouTube named the Galaxy Note9 as a Signature Device, able to deliver a best-in-class YouTube experience.
The Galaxy Note9 also delivers a PC-like experience with Samsung DeX. Users can work on presentations, edit photos and watch their favorite show on a big screen; all powered by their phone via Samsung DeX with easy-to-carry HDMI adapters. When connected to a monitor, the Galaxy Note9 can power a virtualized desktop and even serve as fully-functional second screen. Take notes with the S Pen while watching a video or use the Galaxy Note9 as a trackpad to right-click, drag and drop, and use multiple windows on a monitor. It’s never been easier to be more productive.
Galaxy and Beyond
The premium Galaxy technologies come standard with the Note9: fast wireless charging, IP68 water and dust resistance and Samsung services such as Samsung Health and Samsung Pay. Additionally, the Galaxy Note9 features Samsung’s trusted, defense-grade Knox security platform and biometric security options including fingerprint scanning, iris scanning and facial recognition capabilities to keep important information safe.
Samsung’s latest flagship opens up a world of possibilities – it’s a portal to the full Samsung ecosystem of devices and services. For instance, use the Galaxy Note9 and SmartThings to control connected devices, or get more done with Bixby, a personalized intelligent assistant. And with the launch of the Galaxy Note9, Samsung is making it easier to enjoy music with Spotify, a new long-term partner. This makes Spotify more easily accessible to seamlessly sync and transfer music, playlists and podcasts across the Galaxy Note9, Galaxy Watch and Smart TV products.
The Samsung Galaxy Note9 will be available starting August 24th 2018 in Malaysia at a recommended retail price of RM 3,699 and RM 4,599 for the 128GB and 512GB models respectively. The device will be offered in Midnight Black and Metallic Copper with matching S Pen colours and Ocean Blue with a Yellow S Pen.
