The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 features a sizable 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 4,000mAh battery that promises “all-day” use and a minimum 128GB of storage. There’s also a 512GB version that, with 512GB microSD cards, can give you a full terabyte of space. The device also packs stereo speakers and the dual 12MP rear camera uses dual aperture technology to switch between an f/1.5 aperture for low-light photography and an f/2.4 aperture for normal lighting conditions.
The Note 9 will include a 10-nanometer processor, either a Snapdragon 845 or a Samsung Exynos chip, depending on where you live with a “water carbon cooling system” and AI performance tuning helping to keep the speed up for games and other high-intensity tasks. You will get 6GB of memory in the 128GB phone, but the 512GB model packs 8GB of RAM for heavy multitasking.
A smartphone powerful enough to keep up with you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whatever you are doing.
