Remember that it will be available in three colors: black, purple and blue for the more vitaminized version.
Continuing with the aesthetic section of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, I said that the phone has two speakers in the front that are integrated into the screen so we do not notice their presence. Now on the right side is where we see the button on and off the terminal, while on the left is where the volume control button is located as well as the button dedicated to Bixby, to activate the known voice assistant with greater speed.
Finally, we see that at the top there is only one slot to enter two SIM cards or use a micro SD card to expand, while at the bottom is where we will see another speaker phone next to the USB port Type C and the 3.5mm output to connect headphones. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is still betting on this output so those users who have a more premium polir cable headphones can use them with the Galaxy Note 9 without problems.
