INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
He was speaking about pushing the boundaries on flagship phones and spending a few days with the Galaxy Note 9, we can understand why he
said that.Similar to the Galaxy S9 update earlier in the year, the Galaxy Note 9 builds upon its predecessor, addressing all of its
familiarNot much has changed between Note 8 and the Note 9 as far as the design is concerned
The metallic frame around the Galaxy Note 9 is now diamond cut and gives the phone sharper edges
It's a subtle but noticeable improvement and we're really liking how the Note 9 feels in your hands.Samsung has shaved the bezels slightly
and along with the wider width, the Galaxy Note 9 has a larger 6.4-inch screen compared to Note 8's 6.3-inch screen
Unless you put both these phones side-by-side, you're not going to notice the increased screen space.The fingerprint sensor on the back has
been moved below the dual cameras which is a much better position that being placed next to them
That being said, this is still a large phone and it may still be a bit high for some people.Sexy specs and a new S PenThe Samsung Galaxy
Note 9 we tested came equipped with an Exynos 9810 chipset that's also present on the Galaxy S9
Coupled with 6GB RAM, this makes the Note 9 fly when launching, running or switching between apps
For power users, Samsung is also releasing a version with 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.Network performance has also been improved on the Galaxy
Samsung builds upon the stylus by equipping it with a low powered Bluetooth module and a rechargeable battery that can give you half an
between front and back lenses
Honestly speaking, we don't see much value in that but Samsung is also released the SDK for app developers
It would be interesting to see where this goes- we'd love to see games along the lines of Nintendo DS.Also worth mentioning is that you can
continue using the S Pen as a passive device without using the battery, i.e, very much like the S Pen on the Note 8
You'll only need that charge when you start using the Bluetooth functionality.A battery that's supposed to last longSamsung is claiming an
all day battery life with the Galaxy Note 9 by bundling its largest ever on a Note device
intensive and takes a toll on the battery
We'll reserve our judgement on the battery in our full review.Camera updates- its all about AIThe camera setup on the Galaxy Note 9 is the
same dual camera module found on the Galaxy S9 Plus released earlier in the year
We tried testing this out but couldn't quite get it to work.Here are some sample shots from the Galaxy Note 9's camera in different

shaping up to be the best Android phone currently available.We have a lot more testing to do before we publish our full review and we'll
continue testing the phone but for more, check out our Galaxy Note 9 hands on.mVBLCNHZADi3NAe6bzuoNh.jpg#
