Samsung unveils new Notebook 9 Pen 2-in-1: Bigger size, better battery

Samsung refreshes Notebook 9 Pen for creative pros with a new S Pen and an additional 15-inch model.


The Notebook 9 Pen has an improved built-in S Pen that works on a device that can be used as a laptop or tablet.

Samsung has unveiled the 2019 edition of its high-end convertible, the Notebook 9 Pen.

Aimed at creative professionals, it offers a new and improved built-in S Pen that works on a device that can be used as a laptop or tablet.

The 2-in-1 is available with a 13-inch or 15-inch full HD LCD screens, both of which come with a dark-blue aluminum finish, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and Intel's 8th generation Core i7 processors. A 15-inch model is a new option for the Notebook Pen.

They also sport a backlit keyboard and feature facial and fingerprint recognition. Samsung will show them off at CES in January and plans to release them later in the year.

A key difference between the two models is that the 15-inch option comes with Nvidia GeForce MX150 (2GB) discrete graphics.

Like Samsung's 2018 Notebook Pen, the S Pen slides out of a slot on the front. However, the new S Pen is gold-colored rather than silver and is designed to work exactly as it makes contact with the display bringing significantly reduced latency, according to Samsung.

Unlike the Galaxy Note 9's similar Bluetooth S Pen, this one doesn't require charging. Users can also choose between three pen tips to optimize the feel when drawing.

CNET's review of last year's Notebook Pen rated the up to nine-hour battery life as "merely OK", but Samsung is promising the device's 54Wh battery will deliver a 15-hour battery life, aided by fast charging.

The notebook features two Thunderbolt 3 ports for charging, a USB-C port, a combined audio and mic jack, and a microSD card slot.

The Notebook 9 Pen will be available in the US in "early 2019". Samsung hasn't revealed pricing yet, however, last years was available in the US for $1,400.


 Samsung has set out the Notebook 9 Pen's specifications for 2019.

I Went to Purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and AT&T Shrugged

Was there fervor? Was the staff persuaded to offer the telephone? Not in any case the ones who had a Note 8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Each time another - and evidently imperative - telephone rises, I get energized. 

I need to go to a store, contact it, and play with it. 

The vast majority of all, I need to hear how the business people are offering it. 

I like being sold to by an individual. Also, with regards to telephones, I've heard such a significant number of entrancing strategies, stories, and even affirmations throughout the years. 

At the dispatch of the iPhone X, for instance, a T-Mobile store revealed to me it wasn't justified, despite any potential benefits. 

Things being what they are, what might happen when the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 turned out on Friday? 

I quickly went straight to an AT&T store - I'm a client - to see the energy and, I envisioned, tune in to fine patter. 

The First Surprise 

The store was strangely unfilled. 

In any case, I was welcomed by a beguiling sales representative, brimming with eagerness. 

Regular excitement, that is. Not excitement for the Note 9. 

"Along these lines, what's the distinction amongst this and the Note 8?" I inquired. 

"Very little. Simply the camera," she answered, with a shrug. "That is it. It's about the profundity in the photo, and this telephone has the best camera of all." 

"That is what individuals truly think about?" 

"You'd be shocked. They truly mind. The one issue is that when you have a Samsung telephone, and you send your photo to an iPhone, it doesn't look so great." 

Pause, individuals think about how their pixels will look when they send photographs to companions? 

It appears to be so. 

"I have an iPhone," the sales representative proceeded. "The majority of my companions have iPhones, and none of us would switch on account of what it would do to our photos." 

She was disarmingly forthcoming, and this was an obviously better ordeal than my toward the end in an AT&T store, at the dispatch of the Galaxy S9. 

In any case, I expected more excitement about the Note 9. All things considered, when iPhone X turned out, an AT&T sales representative instructed me to purchase a Note 8. 

The Second Surprise 

"The main other thing about the Note 9 is the S Pen," proceeded with the businessperson, with another shrug. "We have one in the back. Individuals continue taking them." 

She drew out the S Pen, we attempted to take a selfie together, as I utilized the S Pen to enact the camera. 

She likewise demonstrated to me how you can drift the S Pen over words on the telephone's screen to get moment interpretations - to Polish, obviously. 

All things considered, however, she couldn't imagine this was a type of enchanted gadget. 

She recommended that I sit tight for the new iPhones. These, clearly, will turn out in September. 

"We don't know which day, yet the organization's as of now prevented us from taking any get-away. On the off chance that you have something booked, you can go. Be that as it may, in the event that you don't, you need to be prepared to work quickly," she said. 

The Third Surprise 

Another businessperson meandered over. 

He'd obviously caught our discussion and needed to talk. 

Why? He possessed a Note 8 and adored it. Presently I'd truly get the hard offer. 

"Thus, what do you consider this Note 9?" I inquired. 

"It's okay," he said. 

What? That is all the better you can do? 

"Are you going to get one?" I inquired. 

"Not for that kind of cash." 

The Note 9 can cost $1,250, however this declared Samsung darling wasn't sold. He acknowledged, to some degree grudgingly, this was the best Note yet. He proved unable, however, summon anything near fervor. 

To be perfectly honest, neither could Samsung when it initially introduced it. 

What followed straightaway, however, was a discussion between the businessperson and the salesperson about the benefits of the opponent biological communities. 

Both concurred that the other's telephone was "excessively confused." 

For the iPhone-cherishing businessperson: "With Samsung, there's all these additional applications and things. It's simply excessively. Also, a lot of stuff I don't need." 

For the Samsung-cherishing businessperson: "iPhones are excessively confused on the grounds that they're excessively straightforward." 

We both took a gander at him to ponder what he was discussing. 

He clarified: "It resembles, I take a gander at it, and I don't know how to return when I'm finished with something." 

Er, OK. 

Both concurred, in any case, that Samsung was battling a bit. 

"Samsung sent us T-shirts for the S9 dispatch," said the businessperson. "We remained around in them and nobody came." 

The businessperson endeavored to spare brand confront: "With the iPhones, it's simply the showcasing. Apple's better at advertising." 

Is that extremely evident? Samsung has, in now is the ideal time, had some incredible battles. Apple's, then again, have to a great extent been very trite. 

By one means or another, however, there's greater fervor about iPhones on the grounds that Apple still figures out how to influence the items themselves to appear to be changed. Or on the other hand, at any rate, sufficiently unique - particularly generally. 

There's a sure funniness in what number of Android telephones are duplicating the iPhone X's score. There's equivalent amusingness in how Samsung feels it has little to showcase, put something aside to suggest that Apple store workers are numbskulls. 

I could have stood talking to these two sales representatives for some time. They were totally enchanting. I had different activities, in any case. 

"Possibly I'll see you in September," I said. 

"We'll be here," said the sales representative. "We didn't book excursion sufficiently early."

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 features a record-breaking display

Earns DisplayMate's highest ever grade

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Samsung's reputation for creating the world's greatest OLED smartphone displays is undeniable at this point, but that doesn't mean the South Korean electronics giant is content to rest on its laurels. 

According to the world's foremost authority on display technologies, Samsung's done it once again, with the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 breaking several records to earn DisplayMate's highest ever A+ grade. 

Describing the Note 9's Absolute Color Accuracy as "visually indistinguishable from perfect" while also dubbing it the "most color accurate display we have ever measured," DisplayMate also note's the handset's High Brightness Mode as being 27% brighter and 32% higher in contrast than the Note 8, with a peak luminance of 1,050 nits when Automatic Brightness is switched on. 

Noteworthy accomplishments

The Galaxy Note 9 also set records in Color Accuracy and Intensity Scales, meaning that peak brightness doesn't change dramatically based on what's on-screen, while also earning top marks in Viewing Angle Performance, particularly when it comes to small shifts in brightness and color — including white.

While not considered a new record, the Galaxy Note 9 matched the Note 8 with a Screen Reflectance score of 4.4 — said to be the lowest that DisplayMate has ever measured for a smartphone.

Concluding its report, DisplayMate said that "the Galaxy Note 9 is the most innovative and high-performance smartphone display that we have ever lab tested," further cementing its verdict by also stating that the Note 9's display has "raised the bar significantly higher."

Meet Samsung's Galaxy Note 9: S Pen advancements, big storage at 512GB for $1,249.99

With the Galaxy Note 9, you can walk around with more than a terabyte in your pocket--for a price.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 9

And now the debate begins: Will you spend $1,249.99 for a 512GB phone that can expand to 1TB via microSD? The iPhone X with 256GB goes for $1,149. The Note 8 launched in the $950 range in 2017.

In an event that was largely leaked ahead of time, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship device, which represents the high in high/low strategy that aims to create premium devices while fending off low-priced Android competitors.

The short version:

  1. The Note 9 has an all-day battery at 4,000mAh. That's Samsung's largest battery in its product portfolio.
  2. Samsung doubled storage to 128GB at the base level and available at 512GB. And there's a microSD card slot to total more than 1TB of storage to the device.
  3. There's a 33 percent bump in CPU performance and 23 percent gain in GPU performance relative to the Note 8.
  4. The fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone has moved down away from the camera lens.
  5. DeX can connect your phone to a monitor and keyboard via a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
  6. An intelligent camera that includes Flaw Detection. The camera also has a neural network on the Note 9 to recognize context and settings and adjust for scenes.
  7. The front-facing camera is 8MP and the dual rear cameras are 12MP each. Samsung opted to improve the software and machine learning behind the camera in the Note 9. The cameras in the Note 9 are an improvement on the Note 8 but are largely the same as the Galaxy S9 Plus setup.
  8. A wireless charging dock that uses one outlet and can charge two devices (presumably a Samsung phone and smartwatch).
  9. The S Pen gets Bluetooth low energy (BLE) so it can function as a remote control within 10 meters.
  10. The S Pen charges when you put it into your smartphone and the battery charges fully in less than 40 seconds.
  11. BLE enables the S Pen to control the camera by default and other applications based on your preference.


Preorders for the Galaxy Note 9 start Aug. 10 with availability Aug. 24. The 128GB Galaxy Note 9 will go for $999.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, Samsung, Target, Walmart and other retailers. The 512GB Galaxy Note9 will be available at AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular and Samsung for $1,249.99.

IS THE NOTE 9 WORTH IT?

Samsung's Note series is the lone survivor of the stylus era, and the company brings some serious functionality with the S Pen. The Note 9 is arguably Samsung's best Note ever, and it is sure to appeal to fans of the written word.

Samsung made a few design improvements after learning some lessons and being a bit conservative with the Note 8 last year. Overall, Samsung set up the Note series as the best Samsung device available to customers. ZDNet's Jason Cipriani has kept us updated with the latest leaks and information on the Note 9, so it is great to see all those leaks, and more, become official.

The Galaxy foundation remains in the Note 9. These foundational elements include infinity displays, top-of-the-line processors, Gigabit LTE, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, a high level of dust and water resistance, fast wireless charging, a microSD expansion card slot capable of supporting the highest capacity cards available, and Knox support.

GALAXY NOTE 9 SPECIFICATIONS

  1. Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 2.35 GHz quad-core
  2. Display: 6.4 inch, 2960x1440-pixel resolution Super AMOLED
  3. Operating system: Android 8.1 Oreo
  4. RAM: 6GB/8GB LPDDR4
  5. Storage: 128GB/512GB internal with microSD expansion card slot
  6. Cameras: 12-megapixel rear f/1.5 and f/2.4 super speed dual pixel OIS camera with dual aperture and 12-megapixel telephoto f/2.4 OIS camera; 8-megapixel f/1.7 front-facing camera
  7. Water resistance: IP68 water and dust rating
  8. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4/5GHz), VHT80 MU-MIMO, 1024QAM, Bluetooth 5.0 BLE, ANT+, GPS/Glonass/Galileo/BaiDou, MST, and NFC
  9. Sensors: Accelerometer, Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, Hall Sensor, Heart Rate Sensor, Proximity Sensor, RGB Light Sensor, Iris Sensor, and Pressure Sensor
  10. Battery: 4,000mAh non-removable with Quick Charge and fast wireless charging
  11. Dimensions: 161.9mm x 76.4mm x 8.8mm and 201g
  12. It's nice to see ample RAM, vast amounts of storage with inexpensive expansion options, continued inclusion of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and just about everything but the kitchen sink included in one device.


While the S9 Plus marketing was focused on the dual aperture camera, Samsung's messaging this year for the Note 9 is focused on long battery life, virtually unlimited storage capability, and major new S Pen functionality.

Fortnite for Android Tipped to Launch as a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4 Exclusive

It wouldn’t be video games without exclusives

Fortnite for Android

Fortnite for Android won’t launch in the Google Play Store, but it may come to Samsung’s app store and launch as an exclusive for the Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4.

This newfound compatibility was discovered in a leaked Fortnite APK, showing that it’ll run on Samsung’s new flagship tablet, according to data mined by the XDA Developers forum. While the leaked APK will not allow users to play the game quite yet, it does share some enlightening details – the hardware check for the Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4, for instance.  

Fortnite for Android will reportedly have a 30-day exclusivity period for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4, then. However, that exclusivity might extend up to another 90 days for other Galaxy devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S8, according to the second report from Android Headlines.  

Stay tuned for an August 9 announcement 

This all leads us to believe that while Fortnite will skip the Google Play Store, it might end up using the Samsung’s own app store, which is backed up by a string in the APK referencing Samsung’s in-app purchase API.

Google’s Play Store takes a hefty 30% cut of app sales, which Fortnite publisher Epic Games mentioned was a primary reason for bypassing Google’s official store. Samsung, on the other hand, may cut the game publisher a deal and simply want users to remember their Samsung ID and password for once.

This approach could be a major benefit to Samsung users, who would sidestep the need to sideload the APK – and all the security vulnerabilities that come with it. We won’t have to wait long to figure out what’s happening, however, as the Samsung Unpacked 2018 event is on Thursday, August 9.

The Fortnite for Android launch has been a rollercoaster. We’ll keep following the release date saga on TechRadar as news breaks.

First Samsung Galaxy Note 9 hands-on video show everything we already knew

Not many surprises here

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Leaks have shown us a lot of what the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be able to do and what it will look like, but today is the first time we've spotted the phone in a hands-on video.

Shot by UK phone accessory retailer Mobile Fun, the hands-on video of what looks to be the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 shows the phone off from all angles. Sadly the screen doesn't turn on in the video below, but the source claims it is a real device.

We can't attest to whether the handset in the video is real, but Mobile Fun says it got the device through "extensive contacts in China". The video seems to show a premium device that looks near final rather than a dummy unit or a knock-off imitation.

Just over a week

The video shows the Galaxy Note 9 will have a remarkably similar design to the Galaxy Note 8, but the phone does have thinner bezels than the last generation as well as a different looking.

As shown in previous leaks, there's a dual sensor camera on the rear with a flash and a few other pieces of tech, while the fingerprint sensor will sit below the camera tech rather than next to it on as it was on the Galaxy Note 8.

That's down to criticism of the fingerprint sensor being too close and easy to mistake for the camera, which often ends in some photography through a smudgy lens. 

WATCH VIDEO HERE:⇓

You can see the phone in the flesh in some hastily filmed video below, but remember we're going to see all soon with August 9 the date for the official launch in New York so it won't be long until we see the device officially announced by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with 512GB storage could be the most expensive phone around

But only by a tiny amount

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with 512GB storage 
Are you looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9's imminent launch, but worried about the amount of space you'll have? Worry no more.

Twitter leaker Roland Quandt is claiming the 512GB storage variant of the new phone, which we first heard rumor of a few months ago, is indeed coming to Europe and looks to be landing on UK shores as well.

This is surprising, as the larger and more crazier-specified models are usually contained within South Korea or possibly China, so it's an interesting play from Samsung if it is releasing it to a wider audience.
As you can see, the price for the phone - which will come in blue and black colors for the 512GB option - will be £1150 in the UK (around $1500 / AU$2000) and would see it cost more than the highest-spec iPhone X. However, that's only £1149, so the difference is negligible.

Of course, you're getting a larger screen, more storage and likely more RAM for that price, as well as the S Pen of course - and Note fans are unlikely to head for the iPhone anyway, given their penchant for high-spec devices.

This may all be incorrect anyway - as mentioned, Samsung doesn't really have a history of bringing out the high-spec variants in many other countries - but we'll know for sure on August 9, when the phone will be launched in New York.
