We know now that August 9th is the day that Samsung will reveal the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, we also know now or very likely that the s-pen will have Bluetooth a.
Samsung S-pen

Dive into an FCC test report shows that the S-Pen Stylus on the Galaxy Note 9 will be juiced up via the phablet itself, this presumably means that the stylus is charged via the s-pen slot rather than an annoying cable. The regulator filing also notes that the s-pen can enter charging mode when the phone is wirelessly charged.

This all sounds similar to the Apple pencil which uses Bluetooth and charges by the iPad lightning connector, Apple stylus is rated for up to 12 hours of usage while a 15 second charge yields 30 minutes of use, if Samsung can deliver this type of fast charging and endurance I'm sure that Note fans will be very happy indeed and a recap for those of you don't know the Samsung Galaxy Note rumoured specs are:


  • 6.83 inch Super AMOLED display that's 2960 by 1440 resolution with an 1859 aspect ratio. 
  • We expect the snapdragon 845 or the Exynos 9810 depending on where you live.
  • 6 or 8 gigabytes of ram up to 512 gigabytes of storage yes up to 400 gigabytes via the micro SD card slot. 
  • A dual camera setup with variable aperture and super slow-mo video at 960 frames per second. 
  • We also expect a 3850 milliamp hour battery. 


Well it turns out that the Android tablet dream is not completely dead because Samsung is trying to keep that dream alive with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, based on the render that Android headlines acquired the Galaxy Tab S4 gets rid of the home button and might feature a larger 10.5 inch display along with the display increase might be a shift away from the Galaxy Tab S3’s 4,3 aspect ratio though the lack of a home button leaves us without a fingerprint sensor.

The Galaxy Tab s 4 might feature an iris scanner to make up for the lack of fingerprint sensor alternatively the tablet might feature an under the display fingerprint sensor, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one that would put the price up pretty high.

Elsewhere the back features Samsung branding next to the tune by AKG, the Galaxy Tab S3 featured similar branding and delivered great sound thanks in part to their being for stereo speakers, we can expect that Tab S4 to also feature quad speakers with two positioned on both sides of the tablet in landscape.

Based on previous rumors the Galaxy Tab us four features a 13 megapixel primary camera, an 8 megapixel selfie camera, snapdragon 835 chipset, 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of storage, a 7300 million power battery and Android 8.1 Oreo. Not much else is known about the tablet though in a recent visit to the FCC indicates that the launch might be around the corner.

Why tablets really never took off nearly as much as many people expected is in part a mystery to me still, I mean I know why but quite frankly my goodness I use my tablet more than my phone, my phone is used for phone calls when I'm at home and when I leave when I go out and I'm on the road, I take my phone with me and that's my primary thing but when I am home the tablet goes with me everywhere, how many of you would buy a Samsung Tab S4 tablet? Let me know in the comments below I wouldn't because I'm looking for something super premium and there's not a lot of good Android tablet apps I mean it's the same old story.
