WEBVTT - Samsung Unveils the Galaxy Note 9

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Samsung Galaxy Note nine is now official. What's going on?

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rich Demiro. This is rich on Tech. Well I

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>got to go hands on with the brand new Galaxy

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Note nine, and while there's not one big new feature

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna blow everyone away, well, there are a lot

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of little improvements that I think people are going to like.

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Before we get into all of the new goodies, let

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>me just explain what the Galaxy Note is all about.

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>This is really Samsung's flagship phone. It's their most premium device.

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>It's the one that they put all the new features

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>on first. So again, this was one of the first

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>big large screen phones back in twenty eleven. It also

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>was the first that had the stylus. They made the

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>multi window popular, the curve screen, the dual camera, and

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the Note customer is kind of known for being that

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>mobile professional, the person who wants to get work done

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>on the go without sacrificing pretty much anything, because with

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>this device you can do it all. So the Galaxy

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Note nine will come into color at US launch, lavender,

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>purple and ocean blue. That's an interesting choice by Samsung

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>because you're not getting that typical black or gray color.

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>But I think most users will be happy with one

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of these two colors. The ocean blue is definitely a

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>deeper shade of blue. The lavender purple is a really

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>nice purple color, not too purply. So let's get into

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>those specs you want to know about. For starters, there's

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>a six point four inch screen, which is a little

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>bit bigger than last year. When it comes to the cameras,

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>those are very similar to the cameras on the S

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>nine plus. You get a dual camera setup. You've got

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the rear camera at that dual aperture F one point

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>five F two point four, and that is going to

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>be a twelve megapixel camera. Then on the front you've

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>got that eight megapixel camera with a one point seven aperture.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to memory on this thing, man, you

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>get a lot. The standard is one hundred and twenty

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>eight gigabytes, double last year's model. Then there's also six

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>gigabytes of RAM standard, and you also you get that

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>micro SD card slot which you can add another five

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twelve gigs on top of that. Now there

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>is another model which comes with five hundred and twelve

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>gigabytes of storage plus eight gigabytes of RAM and You've

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>got that micro SD card slot for another five hundred

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and twelve gigs if you want to add a card

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that will give you one terabyte in your pocket. Yeah,

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing is powerful. Battery is four thousand MILLIONAM hours,

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that is more than last year's model. And of course

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>you get all the different ways to charge, including wireless

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and wired. Was a little surprised to see that Android

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>eight OREO is on this device. I guess I'm not

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>too surprised because nine came out at kind of like

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst time, the week right before they're announcing this device.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully we will see a software update to Android

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>nine soon on the Note nine. It would have made

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more sense to say the Note nine with

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Android nine. That would have been nice. As for the

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of the stuff, you get all the typical things

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you get on the Samsung phone. You get that fast connection,

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>you get the payment Samsung Pay, You get all those

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>sensors like the accelerometer, the heart rate sensor, what else.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Authentication you get, the iris scanner, you get the fingerprint scanner,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the facial recognition, and that's gonna do it for the

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>main features. So you're thinking to yourself, wait a second,

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>there's not too many crazy new things on this device,

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>but one of the biggest things that they improved over

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>last year's device, the No. Eight, is the placement of

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the fingerprint reader that was in a really bad place

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>on the Note eight. Basically the only thing I didn't

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>like about that device. Now the fingerprint reader is in

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the right place, right underneath the dual camera setup. You

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>can reach it a lot easier, especially with your eyes closed,

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>especially without looking. So I think that alone is enough

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>to get this device. If you're holding off on the

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Note eight because of the placement of that fingerprint reader,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>this device fixes that. So basically I can't find anything

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>wrong with this device on the surface. Now let's talk

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>about that Spen for the first time. The Spen comes

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in a color, so the one that I checked out

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>was the Ocean blue with kind of like a yellow Spen.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And then the Spen also now has Bluetooth built in.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>So what does that mean. Well, you can use the

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Spen up to thirty feet away from your smartphone and

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.799
<v Speaker 1>it becomes basically a little remote control. It is water

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and dust resistant, it'll last for thirty minutes outside of

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the device. But the cool thing is if you want

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to recharge it, you just pop it in the device

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and it will get to a one hundred percent charge

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>in just forty seconds. So what can you do with

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the spen? Where you can press and hold the button

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>on the Spen by default that's going to launch the camera.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>You can double click the button to toggle to the

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>selfie camera and then one more click of the button

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>will actually take a picture. Now you can do whatever

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you want with these buttons. You can program them to

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>do whatever you like in your apps, and developers will

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 1>have access to them as well. One other fun little

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>thing the spen does, since it is now in color,

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>when you write on the screen with that screen off memo,

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>it will come in a color as well. So when

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I wrote with a yellow pen, the screen, the writing

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>was in yellow. I thought that was pretty cool. It's

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a little thing, but it's kind of nice. All right. Now,

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the camera because you always want to

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>know what's improved in the camera. So the camera is

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>basically they didn't say it was the identical setup from

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the S nine plus, but it sort of looks that way.

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>The main thing they've improved here is the software. So

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>they have this new thing which they call intelligent camera,

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and what it does is when you aim the camera

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>at something, it will analyze that scene using an algorithm

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and it can figure out twenty different scenes. Those scenes

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>include food, portraits, flowers, indoor scenes, animals, landscapes, greenery, trees,

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>sky mountains, beaches, sunrises, sunsets, water slides. That's very specific,

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>street scenes, night scenes, waterfall, snow birds, backlit scenes, and text.

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 1>So basically you don't have to fiddle with those pro controls.

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>The camera, when it sees what you're taking a picture

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of on the device, will figure out what you're taking

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a picture of, adjust the settings accordingly, and make your

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>picture look great. That is really cool. I tried this out.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I aimed it at some food and immediately I saw

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>the little food icon. I aimed it at a plant,

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I saw a little plant icon, and Samsung says, your

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 1>picture is gonna be better. I haven't had enough hands

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>on time just yet to figure that out, but I

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>would hope that your pictures are gonna look better because

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times you do take a picture of

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a sunrise sunset. Cameras are pretty good at figuring that out.

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But knowing that that's a sunrise or sunset could definitely

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>make your pictures look just a little bit better. One

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 1>other thing the camera does now is something called flaw detection.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>So you know how when you take a picture, if

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>someone blinked or if there's a smudge on the camera,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you kind of look at the review of the picture

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and then you take another one if it's messed up. Well,

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>now the camera is smart enough to kind of look

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>at your picture before you can even review it and

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 1>let you know in a little message on screen if

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>someone blinked, if the image is blurry, if the lens

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.799
<v Speaker 1>has a little smudge on it, or if the image

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is too backlit. So literally your phone before you can

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>even get to that review to look at it in

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the gallery, will tell you that there's something wrong, and

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that way you can take another picture instantly. You don't

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>have to go and look at the picture. That's kind

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of a cool little feature. We'll see how it works

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in real life. I tried it out just quickly at

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the Samsung demo and it wasn't exactly working one hundred percent,

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>So we'll have to see how that works in real life.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>So the big question how much and when the Galaxy

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Note nine, Like I said, earlier is in two colors,

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Ocean blue and Lavender purple. They will have unlocked versions

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>from Samsung, and it'll also be sold by AT and T, Sprint,

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>T Mobile, Verizon, and others. The one hundred twenty eight

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gigabyte version will sell for nine hundred ninety nine dollars

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and ninety nine cents, basically one thousand dollars for the

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte version, and if you

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>want that five hundred and twelve gigabyte version, that will

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>be available for one thousand, two hundred and forty nine

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>dollars and ninety nine cents again, twelve hundred and fifty

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars for that five hundred and twelve gigabyte version. Here

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>you have it a quick look at the Samsung Galaxy

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Note nine and if you want to see my hands

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>on video with the new device, go to my website.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It is richon tech dot tv. I'm Rich Siemiro. Thanks

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>so much for listening. I'll talk to you real soon
