The smartphone is being targeted as a premium device for gamers and those who want PC-like functionality in a mobile device.Samsung has nabbed the exclusive Android release of popular survival game Fortnite as part of the launch for its Note 9 phablet, which the company is marketing as a premium phone for gamers.
The phone is available for pre-order from 9 August, and the 128GB variant will be available for £899 while the upper-range 512GB device will sell for £1,099.
The “phablet” – combining features of a phone with a tablet – comes with Samsung’s largest battery in a flagship phone – and the company seems to be confident in having left the explosive failure of the Galaxy Note 7 batteries behind it.
