There’s no ignoring one of its mind-expanding features. The 512GB model, gives you over one terabyte of storage via a microSD. That’s enough storage to save hundreds of thousands of photos, a library of 800 movies, the first five seasons of “How to get away with murder” or even 200 000 songs*. Now, that’s a game changer!

The Creative Professional

With the ever-growing world of design apps, creatives from all disciplines can now be uber-efficient on the go. The Note9 gives creatives the freedom to create, starting from the notes and illustrations that can be sketched out with the S Pen to the phones superior processing power to bring ideas to life. The extra storage goes that one step further because of the ability to save and store thousands of high res images, video files, fonts and PSD files.

The DJ or Muso

When inspiration hits, it’s always handy to have a studio in your pocket. Combined with the many cutting-edge audio apps available online, a DJ or musician can make and listen to mixes created in the moment.

Useful software programmes and apps can run and save a plethora of soon to be perfected WAV files. This amount of storage gives musicians the room to fully orchestrate their world according to the rhythm of their greatest compositions.

The Entrepreneur or Business Mogul

The Vlogger

Video is one of the most compelling and engaging types of media. It can help a vlogger establish authority, build influence, and raise engagement levels on their site. In the past, creating a high-quality vlog, required the same equipment used for professional video productions. It’s a creative and social expedition that can run up costs faster than a cat video gone viral. The Note9 however matches the technology and specifications used by professional film crews. And with added storage you can store take after take, until you get the one that takes the internet by storm.

The Photographer

There is now a growing band of photographers who create images exclusively with smartphones. With an intelligent AI powered camera that adjusts to its environment and light with the eye of a pro, the Note9 is perfectly at home on any set. Additionally, on a remote location, photographers appreciate the all-day battery. And the extra storage provides the platform to go further and capture more. For example, that pixel perfect hummingbird shot may require thousands of shots. But with one terabyte of space photographers can truly go wild.

Space is no longer the final frontier. It’s a tool, which when placed in the right hands, can become a journey like no other. The Note9 empowers its user to do more and to save every moment along the way.

The Galaxy Note9 is available in stores nationwide Ocean Blue, Midnight Black, and Metallic Copper with matching S Pen, or Ocean Blue with a Yellow S Pen.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 03 September 2018 – The S Pen isn’t for everyone. Or is it? The Samsung Note9 has changed the game. And it’s very possible that the S Pen will change how many people use their devices. The original S Pen separated the Galaxy Notes from other smartphones. But its now more than a highlight, it’s a full-blown, state-of-art advantage.

Justin Hume, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung South Africa, says, “The S Pen has been upgraded in a big way and the difference is clear. The Bluetooth-enabled feature has taken it far beyond a note-taking or doodle-making extra. It’s a remote control for a device that’s more powerful. There’s a multitude of situations in which a remote control for your phone makes sense. You can trigger your camera, skip songs on your playlist or change your presentation slides.”

That selfie on a majestic rockface, which requires a group jump into the air, just got more impressive. Once you’ve got your device pointed at you and set up to take a picture, you can leisurely walk away from it, S Pen in hand. When you’re sure that you and your group are ready for lift-off, so is your selfie wand. Just click it as you rise. When you land you’ll have a picture destined to amplify those sought-after social media loves. If not, the S Pen is still good to go again.

You’re playing music off Youtube or Spotify. Then it happens. You’ve somehow stumbled on a remixed and badly covered version of your favourite song. Skip. In an instant. That’s the power of the S Pen. So why not take that power into the boardroom? Controlling presentations has never been easier. You can change slides effortlessly, even pulling off moves like double clicking away a picture that really shouldn’t have been in your presentation in the first place – making it instantly disappear from the screen.

So with everything you’re suddenly using your remote for, the last thing you need is to lose your grip on your newfound power. No problem. Each time you slide the S Pen back into its dock on the phone, it recharges in under a minute. Holding on to your new prized possession is also a breeze. For added security, the S Pen will alert you the moment it detects that your phone is moving out of range.

The S Pen may just be what you never knew you wanted. And it just so happens to be a part of a game changing device. Maybe its time to consider what the Samsung Galaxy Note9 can do for you.

Justin Hume, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung South Africa, says, “The Note9 has raised the bar for smartphones considerably. It has exceeded all expectations. South Africans are about to experience a level of performance and power they won’t be able to do without.”
