The Galaxy Note 9 is a 6-4-inch Super AMOLED screened, slick mobile device that takes the best bits of the S9 and Note 8 and combines them into a system that boosts game playing with a massive battery and ultra-fast water carbon cooling system that helps manage heat during game sessions.
The system also features a new Bluetooth-enabled S Pen that can be used as a remote and built-in Dex support that gets rid of the dock and makes use of just a dongle to output to a larger display.
The Note9, which comes in Ocean Blue, Lavender Purple, Metallic Coopper, and Midnight Black, goes on sale Aug. 24 at all major carriers for $999 for the 128GB/ 6GB Ram model and $1,250 for the 512GB/ 8GB model. Preorders begin Friday. A pre-order special for the phone includes 15,000 in-game “Fortnite” V-bucks.
The phone still features water resistance, fast wireless charger, a headphone jack and the ability to use up to a 1TB microSD card for storage and has the largest battery in Samsung’s line of phones at 4000 mAh. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo.
Samsung also unveiled its new take on the smartwatch. The renamed Galaxy Watch keeps the circular design and rotating bezel of the Samsung Gear S3 line along with the promise of a single charge that will last several days.
