The super powerful Galaxy Note9 builds on this legacy with a premium smartphone that delivers all day performance. With a pow- erful, all-day battery, a new S Pen that fea- tures Bluetooth Low-Energy connectivity, Samsung's most intelligent camera yet, and up to a terabyte of storage, the Galaxy Note9 is the phone powerful enough to keep up with your busy life. Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 A 2-in-1 Android tablet designed for people who want to do more on the go, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 helps you work smarter by keeping you operating at the highest levels. With Samsung DeX, longer- lasting battery, refined S Pen, four speakers tuned by AKG, this new tablet makes for easier productivity and more immersive entertainment – anytime, anywhere.

Note9 users can also use their S Pen to advance slides while in DeX mode on a larger screen.
