The time for rumors is almost over, Samsung unveils
the Galaxy Note9 in two days. Still, these leaked images that detail some of
the novelties in the new flagship are hard to pass up. The new S Pen is
Bluetooth-enabled so it can remotely trigger the camera, change the slide in
your presentation or do something else depending on the app (as expected).
Other than that, the stylus works as before with the screen being able to
detect 4,096 levels of pressure.
The camera will use the dual aperture trick of the
Galaxy S9 phones, but it seems that Samsung will sprinkle some AI on top. It
will automatically adjust image settings based on the scene and will warn you
about blurry shots or if someone blinked (hardly a new feature, but it is now
AI-powered).
The Galaxy Note9 will feature an updated DeX mode,
which requires a single cable – an HDMI cable, no need for a full dock.
Perhaps, the new flagship will borrow the dual screen feature of the Galaxy Tab
S4 10.5 that lets you use both the external monitor and the handset’s own
display.
Finally, another report on the pricing, this time
for the UK. The base Note9 with 128GB of storage will reportedly cost £ 900
while the top 512GB unit will be £ 1,100. The euro prices were reported as
€ 1,050 and € 1,250, which sounds about right.
