Perfect package
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s computing platform makes it a game changer, writes Khalid Anzar
Sam sung’ s Galaxy Note series has always been about big screens, enhanced productivity features and the S-Pen. The Galaxy Note 9 build son the same foundation. This edition is a feature-rich package that offers the best of the Galaxy S-and Note series, which makes it the only smartphone that can be termed a complete package. Nothing is missing, not even the 3.5mm audio jack.
The Galaxy Note 9 looks similar to the Note8, except for the rear, which now accommodates the dual cameras and finger print sensor separately. The phone is massive — a6.4-inch super AMOLED unit—and could be cumbersome for daily use. The display with a QHD+(2960x 1440) resolution is H DR 10compliant and features a 3 D-touch home button. It also has an “always-on” mode, which allows you to take notes using th eSP en. The S-Penis now an independent unit, featuring Bluetooth connectivity, which allows it to double up as a remote to take pictures, change slides during a presentation or control a You Tube video without touching the screen.
The Note 9 is a game changer in terms of productivity owing to the De X mobile computing platform. De X allows Sam sung’ s premium devices such as the Galaxy S 8 and Note 8 to be transformed into full-fledged computing platforms when connected to big screens. The p ho ne’ sExy nos 9810 sy stem on-chip and the 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage give it enough power to keep it running smoothly.
The Note 9 takes the front and back cameras straight from the Galaxy S 9. It sports a dual 12- megapixel shooter on there ar and an 8 MPs elfie camera. It also boasts intelligent scene-selection algorithms that automatically identify close to 20 modes and adjust the camera setting accordingly. This feature enables the Note 9 to deliver better results than the already astonishing GalaxyS9-series camera.
The Note 9 is fantastic for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts. It now has AKG-tuned stereo speakers, which offer im me rs ive surround sound. Even after extended gaming or video recording sessions, the phone shows no sign oflag, st utter or heating up. The phone comes with a 4,000m Ah battery that lasts almost a day. But its features seem power-hungry and the battery drains rather quickly if one uses the phone to full capacity.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a pretty perfect package. The only down side is the hefty price tag of ~ 67,900. But given its features and utility, that maybe an investment worth making.
