A few days after the launch in Brooklyn, gonna skip first the local ceremonies. Let's go with the phone first - the newest Note from Samsung Mobile Philippines
Meet the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on it's front view. Unfortunately, I do not have a Note 8 but from my memory, yes indeed that it is a bit taller than the 2017 Note but still for my biggie hand, I can do that one-hand navigation. With still something new to present, a new form on it's mix of widgets and apps
At first when I saw the official renders at the back, I though that the dual main camera and small fingerprint sensor was a bit ugly for me. Two things on my concern, the lil "swipe type" screening of the fingerprint and that never-ending fingerprint smudges on this new color variant (gotta try my best to check the new 2 color variations to aid this). Yet, two word to describe - elegant and classy
Same placements that we seen already on the Galaxy S9+ - power/unlock button at the right, volume rocker and Bixby button at the left, noise cancelling mic and SIM and micro SD tray and single speaker, 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type C port and S pen at the bottom
Out of 128 GB internal storage, you will gonna get 85.4 GB left for app and multimedia storage. I will gonna discuss some new things that you might already saw and hear from the global launch like the S Pen as your camera shutter trigerring device. There's also a brand new landscape mode on the main page of the phone. There is also a new grouping on the stock gallery app and bit some tweaks on the pulldown menu
Finally, a first that I saw in a flagship phone from any brands. You can do switch from pro mode in the main camera to selfie mode and back (which the S9+ cannot do) With a brand new Exynos processor, one thing that I am a bit disappointed - the slow image processing time when you are in Selfie Focus mode as you need a few more seconds to have that smartphone steady after you already pushed that shutter button
You can first what I am talking about in this video then the camera samples
