The phablet or large-screen smartphone concept pioneered by Samsung 7 years ago has evolved, but still allows you to have all the functions of a desktop computer in your pocket. The Galaxy Note 9 is the new generation of Note, optimised for professional use on the move.
The S-Pen stylus now has a Bluetooth connection, turning it into a remote control. This means you can launch Powerpoint sequences or simply trigger the camera, which has a dual-camera module. Similarly, the accessory, hidden under the bottom edge of the phone, makes it easier to take notes without unlocking the phone.
Autonomy has been optimised by 21% compared with its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 8, for a day without a charge announced by the manufacturer. In addition to the boosted built-in battery, there's also the power of a new-generation processor for seamless access to your applications. So it's not just for business use, but also for private enjoyment of videos on the Amoled Borderless screen. Finally, the Note 9 can be easily connected to a monitor via a simple HDMI cable.
In terms of security, the dual SIM smartphone is protected by an iris recognition system and a fingerprint reader. In terms of ergonomics, this phablet is IP 68 certified, so it can be submerged in water provided, of course, that you recover it quickly. This top-of-the-range jewel also boasts a good-looking design, with a glass back, curved edges surrounding its 18.5:9 screen and polished finishes. Presented before the expected announcement of Apple's new iPhone X, the Note 9 is undoubtedly Samsung's new weapon in the high-end B2B and B2C smartphone market.
