1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy Note nine is now official. What's going on?

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Demiro. This is rich on Tech. Well I

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: got to go hands on with the brand new Galaxy

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Note nine, and while there's not one big new feature

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna blow everyone away, well, there are a lot

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: of little improvements that I think people are going to like.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Before we get into all of the new goodies, let

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: me just explain what the Galaxy Note is all about.

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: This is really Samsung's flagship phone. It's their most premium device.

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: It's the one that they put all the new features

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: on first. So again, this was one of the first

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: big large screen phones back in twenty eleven. It also

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: was the first that had the stylus. They made the

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: multi window popular, the curve screen, the dual camera, and

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: the Note customer is kind of known for being that

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: mobile professional, the person who wants to get work done

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: on the go without sacrificing pretty much anything, because with

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: this device you can do it all. So the Galaxy

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Note nine will come into color at US launch, lavender,

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: purple and ocean blue. That's an interesting choice by Samsung

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: because you're not getting that typical black or gray color.

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: But I think most users will be happy with one

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: of these two colors. The ocean blue is definitely a

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: deeper shade of blue. The lavender purple is a really

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: nice purple color, not too purply. So let's get into

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: those specs you want to know about. For starters, there's

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: a six point four inch screen, which is a little

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: bit bigger than last year. When it comes to the cameras,

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: those are very similar to the cameras on the S

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: nine plus. You get a dual camera setup. You've got

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: the rear camera at that dual aperture F one point

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: five F two point four, and that is going to

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: be a twelve megapixel camera. Then on the front you've

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: got that eight megapixel camera with a one point seven aperture.

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: When it comes to memory on this thing, man, you

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: get a lot. The standard is one hundred and twenty

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: eight gigabytes, double last year's model. Then there's also six

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: gigabytes of RAM standard, and you also you get that

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: micro SD card slot which you can add another five

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve gigs on top of that. Now there

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: is another model which comes with five hundred and twelve

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: gigabytes of storage plus eight gigabytes of RAM and You've

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: got that micro SD card slot for another five hundred

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and twelve gigs if you want to add a card

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: that will give you one terabyte in your pocket. Yeah,

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: this thing is powerful. Battery is four thousand MILLIONAM hours,

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: that is more than last year's model. And of course

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: you get all the different ways to charge, including wireless

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: and wired. Was a little surprised to see that Android

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: eight OREO is on this device. I guess I'm not

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: too surprised because nine came out at kind of like

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the worst time, the week right before they're announcing this device.

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: So hopefully we will see a software update to Android

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: nine soon on the Note nine. It would have made

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: a lot more sense to say the Note nine with

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Android nine. That would have been nice. As for the

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: rest of the stuff, you get all the typical things

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: you get on the Samsung phone. You get that fast connection,

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: you get the payment Samsung Pay, You get all those

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: sensors like the accelerometer, the heart rate sensor, what else.

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Authentication you get, the iris scanner, you get the fingerprint scanner,

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: the facial recognition, and that's gonna do it for the

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: main features. So you're thinking to yourself, wait a second,

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: there's not too many crazy new things on this device,

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: but one of the biggest things that they improved over

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: last year's device, the No. Eight, is the placement of

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the fingerprint reader that was in a really bad place

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: on the Note eight. Basically the only thing I didn't

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: like about that device. Now the fingerprint reader is in

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: the right place, right underneath the dual camera setup. You

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: can reach it a lot easier, especially with your eyes closed,

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: especially without looking. So I think that alone is enough

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: to get this device. If you're holding off on the

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Note eight because of the placement of that fingerprint reader,

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: this device fixes that. So basically I can't find anything

76
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: wrong with this device on the surface. Now let's talk

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: about that Spen for the first time. The Spen comes

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: in a color, so the one that I checked out

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: was the Ocean blue with kind of like a yellow Spen.

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: And then the Spen also now has Bluetooth built in.

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: So what does that mean. Well, you can use the

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Spen up to thirty feet away from your smartphone and

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: it becomes basically a little remote control. It is water

84
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: and dust resistant, it'll last for thirty minutes outside of

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the device. But the cool thing is if you want

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: to recharge it, you just pop it in the device

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: and it will get to a one hundred percent charge

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: in just forty seconds. So what can you do with

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the spen? Where you can press and hold the button

90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: on the Spen by default that's going to launch the camera.

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: You can double click the button to toggle to the

92
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: selfie camera and then one more click of the button

93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: will actually take a picture. Now you can do whatever

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: you want with these buttons. You can program them to

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: do whatever you like in your apps, and developers will

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: have access to them as well. One other fun little

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: thing the spen does, since it is now in color,

98
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: when you write on the screen with that screen off memo,

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: it will come in a color as well. So when

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I wrote with a yellow pen, the screen, the writing

101
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: was in yellow. I thought that was pretty cool. It's

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: a little thing, but it's kind of nice. All right. Now,

103
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: let's talk about the camera because you always want to

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: know what's improved in the camera. So the camera is

105
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: basically they didn't say it was the identical setup from

106
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: the S nine plus, but it sort of looks that way.

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: The main thing they've improved here is the software. So

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: they have this new thing which they call intelligent camera,

109
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: and what it does is when you aim the camera

110
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: at something, it will analyze that scene using an algorithm

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: and it can figure out twenty different scenes. Those scenes

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: include food, portraits, flowers, indoor scenes, animals, landscapes, greenery, trees,

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: sky mountains, beaches, sunrises, sunsets, water slides. That's very specific,

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: street scenes, night scenes, waterfall, snow birds, backlit scenes, and text.

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: So basically you don't have to fiddle with those pro controls.

116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: The camera, when it sees what you're taking a picture

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: of on the device, will figure out what you're taking

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: a picture of, adjust the settings accordingly, and make your

119
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: picture look great. That is really cool. I tried this out.

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I aimed it at some food and immediately I saw

121
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: the little food icon. I aimed it at a plant,

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: I saw a little plant icon, and Samsung says, your

123
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: picture is gonna be better. I haven't had enough hands

124
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: on time just yet to figure that out, but I

125
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: would hope that your pictures are gonna look better because

126
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot of times you do take a picture of

127
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: a sunrise sunset. Cameras are pretty good at figuring that out.

128
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: But knowing that that's a sunrise or sunset could definitely

129
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: make your pictures look just a little bit better. One

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: other thing the camera does now is something called flaw detection.

131
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: So you know how when you take a picture, if

132
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: someone blinked or if there's a smudge on the camera,

133
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: you kind of look at the review of the picture

134
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: and then you take another one if it's messed up. Well,

135
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: now the camera is smart enough to kind of look

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: at your picture before you can even review it and

137
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: let you know in a little message on screen if

138
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: someone blinked, if the image is blurry, if the lens

139
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: has a little smudge on it, or if the image

140
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: is too backlit. So literally your phone before you can

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: even get to that review to look at it in

142
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the gallery, will tell you that there's something wrong, and

143
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: that way you can take another picture instantly. You don't

144
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: have to go and look at the picture. That's kind

145
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: of a cool little feature. We'll see how it works

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: in real life. I tried it out just quickly at

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the Samsung demo and it wasn't exactly working one hundred percent,

148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how that works in real life.

149
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: So the big question how much and when the Galaxy

150
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Note nine, Like I said, earlier is in two colors,

151
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Ocean blue and Lavender purple. They will have unlocked versions

152
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: from Samsung, and it'll also be sold by AT and T, Sprint,

153
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: T Mobile, Verizon, and others. The one hundred twenty eight

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: gigabyte version will sell for nine hundred ninety nine dollars

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: and ninety nine cents, basically one thousand dollars for the

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
