Samsung finally unveils the latest iteration to the Galaxy Note series today – the Galaxy Note 9.

Unveiled on Barclays Center in New York City, the new Note 9 is better than ever, as it introduces several NOTE-worthy features, such as the now Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, the largest screen ever (6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel) on a Note-series phone, up to 512GB internal, expandable storage as well as a 4000mAh battery pack, the largest in a Note-series phone ever, and promises all-day performance, ideal for users who demand more with their smartphone.

READ: The Galaxy Note 9 is so interesting……. and expensive?

In terms of cameras, the new Note 9 will come with a setup that we’ve first witnessed on the Galaxy S9+ – Dual Aperture Cameras. Sporting f/1.5 and f/2.4 lenses, the cameras on the Note 9 can also capture Super Slow-Mo videos at 960fps, as well as AI features which we commonly see on newer smartphones.

It also sports stereo speakers tuned by AKG, which they claims the loudest ever in a Note smartphone.

It’ll be launched to the Philippine media on August 14th, Tuesday – so expect us to get our first dibs on this device right away.
