Do you want to know the new flagship of Samsung? The Korean firm presented its new top-of-the-range device in New York today, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. A mobile that has been revealed weeks before because of its leaks. Even so, it is already official and we know all its details, such as its 6.4-inch screen, double camera, S pen and improvements in Samsung Dex. Next, we tell you all the information, its technical specifications and its price.
This Samsung Galaxy Note 9 mounts its own Super AMOLED panel with a size of 6.4 inches. It also includes an 18.5: 9 format, which achieves a panoramic effect when playing multimedia content vertically. Inside we find an eight-core Exynos 9810 processor. In other markets it will be replaced by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. In addition, it has a 6 GB RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage.
S Pen, the main protagonist of the Note 9
The S Pen is the digital pen that accompanies the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. This year it improves in functions. Now it has Bluetooth connectivity and the possibility to control some elements of the device, such as taking photos or moving images from the gallery. We can also, for example, stop or resume playback. The S Pen has a small battery that charges when we fit it into the device.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 camera mounts a 12 megapixel dual sensor. This one has variable aperture. Depending on the light, the lens opens or narrows to get sharp images. With the double camera we can take photos with a blur effect, which can also be modified through Software by choosing the grade. Finally, we can take photos with Zoom without losing quality. Samsung has also wanted to add artificial intelligence to its camera. Now it is able to recognize different situations and objects to adjust the image automatically. For example, if we focus on a dog, the system will detect it and adjust the parameters for a sharp and detailed photograph. The same when we point to a person, landscape etc. And in video recording? Of course, the super slow motion effect has been added with 960 Fps, where we can get videos in super slow motion and also edit them to our liking.
A continuous design with some improvements
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 follows the design line of the Note 8, with a glass back that ends in curved edges. Right in the rear area is the double camera, which is now part of a band, where you can also see the LED flash and the sensors. The fingerprint reader is kept on the back, but under the lens. This way we will avoid touching the glass that covers the camera and dirtying it with our fingerprints. The rear is fused with aluminum frames, which has a glossy finish. In the right area is the power button. On the right side, the volume button and the button dedicated to Bixby, Samsung's smart assistant. Bottom we still see the headphone jack. In addition to a USB C connector and the slot to insert the popular S pen.
The front has a design very similar to the Note 8. Minimum frames in the upper and lower part of the terminal, with the sensors, iris scanner, camera and speaker in the upper area. The bottom is empty, making the navigation buttons directly on the screen. By the way, the Note 8 also has a curved screen on both sides.
More extras on the Note 9
Other extra adjustments that we see in the Note 9 is the inclusion of the AR Emojis. Some emojis that are controlled based on our expressions, and that we can customize to look like us. Bixby is also present, with a side panel where you can control different elements of the device and see practical information, such as the weather, trends on Twitter or the latest news. We also have Bixby Vision, which recognizes objects and identifies prices and where we can buy it. We do not forget Samsung Dex, which allows us to turn the Galaxy Note 9 into a computer. It has now been replaced by a cable that connects directly to the monitor.
Price and availability
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be available in four new colors. Among them, a black, brown, blue and purple color. The Spen will match each color. Its price starts at 1,008 euros for the version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. If you want, you can also choose the version with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, but its price increases to 1,260 euros.
