Samsung Galaxy Note 9: all we know about the next South Korean flagship



[ad_1]

As every year, Samsung will present the new flagship of its Galaxy Note range, and many are waiting for it. What better than a summary of everything we know about the future phone before its official presentation? This is our robot portrait of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

At the beginning of both Galaxy Note and Galaxy S ranges, Samsung knew to offer two high-end phones that were different . While the Galaxy S was a very good high end smartphone, the Note was sold as a professional tool and stood out from the S on 3 essential points: a big battery, a bigger screen and the stylus. Today, and with each release of a new Galaxy Note, Samsung seems to present a Galaxy S marketed 6 months ago with an extra stylus and some slight improvements.

Let's see what the next flagship South Korean manufacturer : the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. In this article, we have gathered all the safest information, which comes from the most reliable sources, just to give you a glimpse of your potential future phone. By the way, here is the official press release published before the time by Evan Blbad

Note 8 or Note 9?

Our "fears" have been confirmed: the Galaxy Note 9 would be very similar to its predecessor, especially at the design level. Thus, the screen will always take the vast majority of the front façade, and only borders at the top and bottom would be present. Samsung does not give in to the fashion of the notch and is right : the manufacturer leaves two borders and therefore proposes a symmetrical front end with a splendid screen.

Exactly, this last one would be very similar to that of Note 8 and it is not worse. Samsung is the leader of screens and each time a new Galaxy S or Note is released, the new flagship takes the first place on the podium of the best smartphone screens. Thus, the screen would have a diagonal of 6.3 or 6.4 inches and still offer a definition of HD Quad + 2960 x 1440 18.5: 9 ratio. The screen of Note 9 would also be brighter than that of its predecessor, as it is every year. In short, its screen will still make us look .

Side physical buttons, we find the same as those of Note 8 and S9 to same locations. Yes, that would mean that Samsung has not dropped the case with Bixby, his personal badistant supposed to counter Google Assistant. Moreover, Bixby would release in version 2.0 on the Note 9 but it is easily conceivable that it is still a flop, at least on the European market. Note that rumors had announced the appearance of a fifth physical button dedicated to the photo capture, but the latter no longer appear at all relevant.

We find on the lower edge of the phone a USB port -C and the famous mini-jack port as well as a speaker, a microphone and the location for the S Pen, to which we will return a little later in the article. The upper edge of the front panel would have the usual sensors including the iris sensor and the front camera.

Speaking of cameras, the two rear cameras would be arranged horizontally, unlike the Galaxy Note 9. Even if the sensors would be very similar to those of the S9 Plus, the software part would probably be improved thanks to a new algorithm. Moreover, one would find a fingerprint reader just below the two rear cameras . Yes, no fingerprint reader under the screen, but DJ Koh recently announced that the S10 will take advantage of this technology that the brand wanted to point to before integrating it into a smartphone to avoid a bad user experience.

Finally, Note 9 would be slightly smaller and larger than Note 8 by 2 millimeters but slightly thicker to accommodate a larger battery: it would have a capacity of 4,000mAh against 3,300 mAh for the Note 8 and 3500 mAh for the S9 Plus. Before going to the technical sheet, here are some renderings of the Galaxy Note 9, so that you can get a clearer idea of ​​the design

Datasheet

Just like the design, the features of the Galaxy Note 9 should not change much from its predecessor. The data sheet would obviously remain very good but it is difficult to be satisfied a year after the release of the Galaxy Note 8.

  • Screen 6.3 "or 6.4" Super Amoled QHD + with 18.5: 9 ratio [19659020] SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810
  • 6 or 8 GB of RAM
  • 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage
  • Drawer SIM + Micro SD or Dual Drawer Sim
  • 2 rear APN of 12 megapixels
  • 1 APN before 8 megapixels
  • Android Oreo
  • Battery of 4,000 mAh
  • Fast charging: USB-C and wireless
  • IP68 protection

In short, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 would offer a very good technical sheet, and we know that the performances will be, as always, the rendezvous.

A brand new S Pen

If there is a single element that today differentiates the S range from the range Note it is the S Pen, the famous stylus supposed to bring a real practical side for p rofessionals. Indeed, Samsung seems to have understood that the two ranges are more and more alike and will offer a brand new S Pen to accompany the Note 9.

The stylus would include Bluetooth connectivity to offer new features and interactions with the phone . Without saying so, it would be possible to remotely control the taking of a photo and manage the reading of music for example. DJ Koh has even claimed that the new S Pen will have a feature dedicated to gaming, but we have no more information. Also, the S Pen seems to be decorated with a new color, but it should not please everyone.

Ad, Price And Availability

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be officially presented in New York on August 9 and according to several sources, pre-orders will begin in mid-August, followed by the official start of marketing on August 24th. The phone would be offered in 5 colors: Midnight Black, Blue Coral, Gray Orchid, Teddy Brown and Titanium Gray. In short: black, blue, purple, brown and gray .

As for the price, it would again be slightly higher but we do not know more, except a Polish source. In any case, it is more than likely that Note 9 exceeds the 1,000-euro mark, just like Note 8 on its release.

Whatever happens, rendez-vous on 9 August for the official presentation of the Galaxy Note 9 then on FrAndroid for the complete test. Moreover, one of the members of the team will attend the show of the South Korean manufacturer and will surely make you a first takeover of the new flagship of Samsung.
