2018-08-09
yo guys Johnson here today's video is brought to you by hummus we're giving away some chickpeas I'm kidding for that one guy out there he was furiously typing salt into his keyboard right now I'm actually teaming up with Gutner so we're sponsoring this video to give you guys a chance to win your own Galaxy Note 9 subscribe to both channels and check out the details down below so number one something that kind of made me do a double-take like yo Samsung are you serious there's two variants with the galaxy note 9 one with 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage which is cool but for those who like it beefy for those who love specs for those who are on GSM arena right now ready to fact-check me get ready to salivate because there is one with a gigabytes of RAM in 512 gigabytes of internal storage not external internal that's crazy when I saw that line I kind of assume Samsung was doing some sort of marketing trick like ok they got a Galaxy Note 9 it's got 256 gigabytes of storage maybe they're doubling that with a micro SD card but nope that is 512 gigabytes that is internal on the phone which is nuts now on top of that theoretically you could double that up to a terabyte of storage with a micro SD card slot so the idea of having 1 terabytes of storage in your pocket while lightening is happening is bananas so for those out there who love their FLAC files their raw photos for those who hate the cloud and gotta have those files locked and loaded ready to go the galaxy note 9 is very tempting and more importantly as you start to see it separates itself from the galaxy s 9 Plus which is really important so number 2 we all saw the press kit we saw the leaks and we're all wondering why does samsung have a Toy Story alien colored S Pen coming with this phone the reason for that is not only is it just neon colored it writes in neon - no I get it it's not some revolutionary game-changing feature but it's a cool way to separate itself and it is worth noting that that feature is exclusive to the ocean blue note 9 not only oh I like purple which would be 2 available colors now also like the leaks may have suggest the S Pen now features Bluetooth Low Energy which simply means it turns in this little control stick that you can use for a multitude of things you can use it to launch applications you can trigger the shutter on your camera to take a photo which is really helpful imagine you got a lock tripod away from you just click the s-pen and you take in the picture it also works music so you can play pause songs imagine at the gym that it's gonna be much easier than going to reach for your phone or maybe your headphones that support that it also could work well for presentations where you're going through slides that kind of makes sense it just seems like a tool that you would use for that job so yeah the s-pen beyond that it's kind of gonna do what it does at its core that's why you would buy a gouts note is for that s-pen but I think this year it was actually a nice way to spice things up a little bit now number three yes we saw the leaks we saw the rumours at the Galaxy Note 9 was allegedly going to have a four thousand milliamp hour battery but they did it and that surprised me given their track record now this doesn't mean bashing Samsung for what happened to the no batteries they owned up to that they fixed that but I think all of us were a little disappointed last Rhoads Note 8 when we saw the battery capacity but this year they stepped it up in four thousand milliamp hours is great because it separates itself again from the s9 Plus which is 3500 milliamp hours that should nicely lead to some fantastic battery life and I'm excited because again it adds some separation between the S Plus models and the note lineup for the past two years I think the general consensus was the S Plus model kind of felt like to note without a pen that was really six months earlier now the display is six point four inches in the galaxy note nine compared to six point two on the s9 plus and more importantly again I think it's those three things the storage the battery life and the s-pen that's what makes a note feel like a no because it's always been about the power users now if you weren't a big fan of the galaxy s 9 or the s 9 plus as probably isn't gonna change your mind but if you're holding out and that extra battery if that extra storage and the S Pen sounds appealing to you this is going to be one attractive phone now the camera is very similar to the s 9s time plus with the dual aperture mode there is one tweak though the galaxy note 9 is gonna feature a bunch of AI tweaks so it's going to scan the environment and then know whether you're taking a picture of a cat of food of a flower of a human that optimize that to give you the best possible settings that is something I'm always a little bit skeptical about but I'm looking forward to testing that out and seeing if it's worth it or if it's a gimmicks definitely stay tuned when I get my hands on one in house beyond that yeah it kind of is a beefed-up Galaxy S 9 but that's not a bad thing I think Samsung is more importantly getting back to their note roots with this phone you got a snapdragon 845 USB C headphone jack fast wired charging fast wireless charging water-resistance overall it's just all of the essentials and more importantly it's a really well-rounded phone I think for the most part people are going to enjoy this this though is kind of been my first impressions with my limit amount of time but I'm super stoked to check it out more stay tuned for the unboxing the review and more importantly again if you guys want to win your own Galaxy Note 9 check out the link below thanks a juggler your average consumer this is Jonathan and I'll catch you guys later
