Samsung unveils Galaxy Note9 with exclusive Fortnite access, plus Galaxy Watch
Today -- after weeks of leaks -- Samsung finally revealed the eagerly anticipated Galaxy Note9. While we already knew just about everything about this smartphone, we now know that it has an astonishing price tag (between $1,000 and $1,250) and that it includes exclusive access to the beta version of Fortnite for Android.
At the same event, Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Watch -- dropping the Gear branding once and for all. Available in 42mm and 46mm models, the watch features LTE connectivity and boasts impressive battery life. But has the launch of the two products lived up to expectations?
With the Note9, Samsung was really preaching to the choir -- echoing iPhone launches. This is not a phone that is likely to sway people away from their brand of choice -- as impressive as the specs are -- thanks largely to the price. The cheapest model (with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage) will set you back $1,000, while the top-of-the range model (with 8GB RAM and 512GB storage) costs an eye-watering $1,250.
