S Pen and camera<\/h3>\n

Samsung produced a new S Pen for the Note 9, too, which features Bluetooth low-energy connectivity.<\/p>\n

This lets owners use the pen as a remote control for the device, controlling actions such as taking photos,\u00a0going through slide shows, playing and pausing videos, and more.<\/p>\n

The new camera in the Note 9 is a further improvement for the Note range, said Samsung.<\/p>\n

With intelligent functionality, the Note 9\u2019s camera \u201ctakes the work out of getting the perfect picture\u201d. This is thanks to features like\u00a0Scene Optimiser,\u00a0Flaw Detection (such as a person closing their eyes), and\u00a0advanced noise reduction technology.<\/p>\n

The Note 9 is also compatible with the Samsung Dex system.<\/p>\n

Other standard features on the device include fingerprint and facial recognition, IP68 rating, support for Samsung Pay and Samsung Knox, and a USB-C port.<\/p>\n
