When it comes to their camera quality, you can be a pro while you’re snapping pictures. It uses intelligence to identify elements of a photo, such as a scene and subject, to automatically classify it into one of 20 categories and be instantly optimized. The result is a stunning, lifelike image with bold colours and dynamic definition. Moreover, the Galaxy Note9 lets users know if there’s something wrong so they can take another picture without losing the moment. An immediate notification will appear if the image is blurry, the subject blinked, there is a smudge on the lens, or there’s backlight impacting the quality of the image.  The Galaxy Note9 is available with two internal storage options – choose from 128GB or 512GB.

One of the main highlights on this would be the evolution of the S Pen. Now with Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support, the new S Pen delivers an entirely new way to use the Note. With just a click, it’s now possible to take selfies and group pictures, present slides, pause and play videos, and more. In time, developers will even be able to integrate the S Pen’s new and advanced BLE functionalities into their apps.

 

Performance

The camera presents an impressive quality of crystal clear images. The coolest part is where I don’t need to put in a filter to a picture as the scene optimizer instantly detects it’s subject matter and changes the filter to fit the best possible filter.

Apart from that, you can record Super Slow-Mo videos and the stereo speakers and AR Emoji definitely is an advanced feature everyone needs to try out. You even have the live focus feature which you can have the option to blur the background too.

With its 12-megapixel variable aperture main camera and secondary twice the zoom camera than normal smartphones do, this is certainly done without any form of pixelation even when you zoom in to check the clarity of the image.

Conclusion

Though it may be on the pricier side, the features that are present in this phone definitely is worth it for a purchase to be used for a long time.
