The Spectacular Samsung Galaxy Note9 Launch Event!

Samsung really went all out in their exclusive, invitation-only Samsung Galaxy Note9 launch event at Arena Axiata in Bukit Jalil. 2,000 lucky guests witnessed the largest and most spectacular launch of any Samsung smartphone yet.

But don’t fret – we recorded EVERYTHING at the Samsung Galaxy Note9 launch. So check out the photos and videos it will be as if you were there yourself today!

 

Samsung Galaxy Note9 Launch Presentation

The Samsung Galaxy Note9 launch event kicked off with Samsung Malaysia President Yoonson Kim arriving in a McLaren supercar, escorted by nine super bikes and nine drones.

  • All Day Battery: The Galaxy Note9’s 4,000mAh battery, the largest ever on a flagship Galaxy phone for long-lasting power to use all-dayto talk, text, play games and watch movies from morning to night.
  • Store More, Delete Less: The Galaxy Note9 is available with two internal storage options – choose from 128GB or 512GB. And with the ability to insert a microSD card, the device is 1TB-ready, allowing users to have peace of mind, knowing there will always be enough room for favourite photos, videos, and apps.

  • Speed and Power: The Galaxy Note9 is a super powerful smartphone with a cutting-edge 10nm processor and support for the fastest network speeds available in the market (up to 1.2 gigabits per second) to stream and download without slowing down. The device also includes an industry-leading and Samsung developed Water Carbon Cooling system and an on-device AI-based performance adjusting algorithm to deliver powerful yet stable performances.

 

All-Star Endorsement of the Samsung Galaxy Note9!

Samsung invited an all-star cast of celebrities to share their experience using the new Galaxy Note9, and their trip to New York for the Samsung Galaxy Note9 Unpacked event! They include Jinnyboy, Reuben Kang, Limzy, Josephine Yap and Tian Chad.

The Samsung Galaxy Note9’s camera and new Bluetooth S Pen proved to be very useful to them :

  • New S Pen – With Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support, it’s now possible to take selfies and group pictures, present slides, pause and play videos, with just one click of the S Pen!
  • Scene Optimizer : The Galaxy Note9’s camera is Samsung’s smartest yet. It uses intelligence to identify elements of a photo, such as the scene and subject, to automatically classify it into one of 20 categories and be instantly optimized. The result is a stunning, lifelike image with bold colours and dynamic definition.

  • Flaw Detection : The first shot doesn’t always come out right, but the Galaxy Note9 lets users know if there’s something wrong so they can take another picture without losing the moment. An immediate notification will appear if the image is blurry, the subject blinked, there is a smudge on the lens, or there’s backlight impacting the quality of the image.
  • Premium Camera : With the unique combination of advanced intelligence features and leading premium hardware, the Galaxy Note9’s camera is the best on the market. It comes with advanced noise reduction technology and a Dual Aperture lens, which adjusts to light just like the human eye. No matter the lighting conditions, Galaxy Note9’s top-tier camera delivers a crystal-clear shot.
