SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics launched its phablet phone Galaxy Note 9 in 50 countries. The world's largest smartphone maker plans to release its new phone in 120 countries by early September.
Galaxy Note 9 is Samsung's strategic phablet smartphone targeting consumers who favor a large display. Note 9 has a 6.4-inch display with a large-sized 4,000mAh battery. The phablet phone is fitted with an iconic S Pen, a stylus wirelessly connected to Note 9 via Bluetooth.
Other than its original purpose as a stylus, the S Pen can be used as a remote controller when running a presentation app on the phone or it can be used as a remote shutter button for camera applications.
Two models -- a 512GB storage model and 128GB storage model -- were released. The large storage version comes with a price tag of $1,249 and the other one with $999.
