Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Beauty meets beast in premium segment (Tech Review)

The 6.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 9 -- to be launched in India on August 22 -- has focused equally on performance as well as empowering users' expressions.

Technology News: There are several smartphones out there that promise to give you most of these features -- or even all -- but a true premium experience can only happen with a true premium device.

The 6.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 9 -- to be launched in India on August 22 -- has focused equally on performance as well as empowering users' expressions.

In India, The 6GB+128GB variant will cost Rs 67,900 and 8GB+512GB model will come at Rs 84,900.

With Stylus Pen (the company calls it S Pen), Note 9 becomes a piece of art, where you can write, create, draw, color, give a presentation at office, click selfies and what not.

Let us see what Note 9 offers in the premium space where Apple iPhone X, Huawei P20 Pro and Google Pixel devices are its main rivals.

Galaxy Note 9's Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display is the series' largest so far that offers more room for work, play and everything in between -- maintaining Samsung's design legacy.

Note 9 offers a sleek and square form factor and comes with enhancements that enable users to multitask as well as enjoy immersive multimedia experiences.

To amplify immersion, Samsung has rounded the corners of the display to a bare minimum, refining the Galaxy Note 9's barely-there bezels to conceal its iris sensor.

The screen is deeper black, which allows it to blend in with the bezels when the device is off, thus enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Samsung Electronics unveils Galaxy Note 9, upgraded watch, home speaker

Samsung's latest device enters the ring at a time of slowing smartphone demand globally and a disappointing performance by its cousin, the Galaxy S9.

Technology News: The 6.4-inch screen Note 9 will start at $999.99 and max out at $1,249.99 — becoming, at about $100 above the iPhone X’s upper limit, one of the world’s most expensive consumer phones. It looks similar to last year’s 6.3-inch Note 8 but sports a revamped Bluetooth stylus — a longtime selling point of the Note series — as well as an upgraded camera that takes sharper photos than the S9 released earlier this year.

A new stylus called the S Pen is this year’s highlight upgrade. It will let users remotely control the Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s camera and switch between slides in a presentation, the company said. It’ll also allow more accurate writing and drawing on the phone’s screen. The Note 9’s camera upgrade is on par with the one given to the S9 in March, adding enhanced colors and exposure. It also has a relocated fingerprint scanner on the back but not one built into the screen, something the company has said it’s developing.

At the New York event, Samsung also introduced a new Samsung Galaxy Watch that competes with a similar product from Apple. The redesigned smartwatch has a circular screen, is water-resistant, and can connect to LTE cellular networks, the company said. It has improved battery life over previous Samsung watch models, and will be compatible with a new charger that can simultaneously charge smartphones and the watch.

The gadget will feature revamped health software that works with the heart-rate sensor. It has new tracking functionality for workouts and auto-detection for when a person begins a run, for example. It also has sleep tracking, providing detail into both hours and quality of sleep.
