Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Will This Be A Game Changer For Samsung?

[kero89]

Does it comes with a plastic case inside the box? I’m confused. I see unboxing videos and some have some don’t have..

Based on the sg box contents, yes there is. The U.S. box contents does not show the case (which has been the case for the past few flagships)

How do i charge when in dex mode?

You can't, shortcoming for using in build dex mode. Ideal for quick presentation or big screen casting. The only way to charge while using dex mode is to use a dex station itself.

Blue Spen

Seems that in South Korea, the Ocean Blue Note 9 comes with both a blue and a yellow S Pen. Saw it in quite a few Korean youtube reviews (Search for 갤럭시노트9) and surprised that this was not mentioned by many of the primarily US media coverage.

Since the spen can be separately purchased, perhaps it may be possible for one to get just the blue spen itself in SK?

Below is a screenshot from the Korean Samsung preorder page (accessible via VPN)

It is such a shame that the most expensive latest and greatest Samsung N9 doesn't come with Android Pie by default.

Looking at Samsung's software update track record, they won't release Android Pie on N9 until S10 had been released.

Even with Google project treble. Not much oem are making good use of it beside phones are running stock Android like Essential.

They are quite consistent in being slow with the software . I remember the phone releases always come with the previous software version . May cause of lagwhiz and large phone inventory, more time is needed to test and develope th SW updates

That's y giving Samsung a last chance after that back to one plus even if one plus cost more.

128GB can still slot in 512GB micro sd card. Technically it doesnt make a differ to the ug.
the only ug is 2GB of ram.

you pay the price of 128gb for 512gb plus 2gb ram. after the promo you pay 128gb to get 128gb and still have to pay $300 for 512gb microsd card. also resale value of 512gb is higher.

true. hardware wise is topnotch. but software is way too outdated. but it still works for the masses.

the preorder deal is way too tempting esp if you're a Sammy fan. 512 for a price of 128?
