When I was in Coron, the TV advertisement of Galaxy Note9 kept flashing on the TV screen as I lounge during downtime, which made me more excited and giggling about the event about to happen in Manila, the grand launch of Samsung Galaxy Note9. So, from the airport I headed straight to Marriott Grand Ballroom to witnessed the grand uncovering of what this new note from Samsung has to offer. I already had an idea of how great the new note is because of that TV ad spoiler when I was on vacation but I cannot fathom my excitement to hold it on my bare hands and explore its features by myself. Lo and behold, I was amazed of its outstanding features.
The event gathers media personalities, together with Samsung dealers and partners for an evening of exciting talks and a closer look at the tech giant’s newest flagship smartphone. Hosted by Cesca Litton, the media launch brings together various Samsung representatives to showcase the powerful capabilities of the Galaxy Note9 and introduce its brand ambassadors: Heart Evangelista-Escudero, Nico Bolzico, and Erwan Heussaff. Taking the lead for SEPCO in the product demonstrations are Category Head for Flagship Smartphones Patricia Lee, and Product Marketing Manager for Note series, Ellie Huang.

Do more with the Connected Bluetooth S Pen
The well-loved feature of the Note series shows off its newfound capabilities in the launch. Now powered with Bluetooth, the Connected S Pen wirelessly controls the Galaxy Note9 within a 10-meter radius, allowing users to take group selfies, browse through photos and content, and activate other applications, all with just a few clicks.
The Connected S Pen pairs instantly with its Galaxy Note9 counterpart, eliminating the need to switch Bluetooth on and off. It lasts for around 200 clicks or 30 minutes of continued usage. It also automatically charges once placed inside the device, requiring only 40 seconds to reach full power.

The event also boasts of the Galaxy Note9’s upgraded core performance features, which is perfect for those who relentlessly pursue excellence every day. The powerhouse device runs on a long-lasting 4,000 mAh battery, allowing one to accomplish more without worrying about energy consumption. Supporting fast and wireless charging, the smartphone goes back to full power with ease, ready to take on more tasks.

See more with the intelligent dual camera
Samsung’s most advanced smartphone camera continues to impress with its ability to take gorgeous low-light photos, thanks to its F1.5 and F2.4 lens aperture. It outsmarts the human eye with Super-Slow Mo, which captures videos at 960 frames per second. That is four times slower than normal slow motion.
