What's your biggest fear? Sharks? Rats? Horrible toupees? If you're a true geek, one that ranks pretty highly is probably your smartphone battery dying in the middle of... well, anything. And Samsung appears to have a remedy for that. In its new teaser for the upcoming Galaxy Note 9, Samsung focuses on an annoying issue all smartphones have — the ever-dwindling battery life. The 30-second video shows what happens when you really need your phone to survive just a few more minutes, but the battery can't keep up, no matter what you do. Amazingly, there's no iPhone in sight. Instead, Samsung is using one of its own phones as an example — implying that, come August 9, this won't be an issue any more. The video ends with the tagline, "A lot can change in a day," and it's accompanied by the description that says "On August 9th, 2018, power will no longer be a problem." Unfortunately, we haven't found any clues as to how, exactly, Samsung plans to do this. For now, we'll just settle on the likeliest option: That the Note 9 will simply have a bigger battery than its predecessor. Rumors say it will be a considerable bump — from 3,300mAh to 4,000mAh — but let's wait till August 9 to find out. Samsung's Galaxy Note series is still haunted by bitter memories of the Note 7, which had a big battery that was prone to bursting into flames. Truth be told, the company has successfully recovered from the fiasco, having launched several more flagship phones with no battery issues since then.<doc-sep>TL;DR Three new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 teasers hit YouTube today. Each teaser focuses on an aspect of the Note 9: its battery life, storage capacity, and processing speed. The ads are — thankfully — not as cringeworthy as some of the recent Samsung advertisements. This morning, Samsung posted three new teaser ads on YouTube promoting the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Unpacked event on August 9. Thankfully, this trilogy of teasers is less cringeworthy than other recent Samsung ads. Unfortunately though, none of the ads show us the Galaxy Note 9. However, we have so much leaked info on the device already that you don’t need much of an imagination to know what it will look like, at least probably. You can see all three teaser ads below, but they all follow the same format. Each one depicts a person using a phone that has some sort of problem: not enough storage, too slow, and not enough battery. The ads depict the user’s frustration and their attempts to circumvent the problem, and then the tagline “A lot can change in a day” appears on the screen. No gratuitous knocks on Apple this time around. Thankfully. Here are the three ads: Battery Life Storage Space Processing Speed We can only assume from the ads that Samsung is going to tout the large amounts of storage space, the high-speed processing, and the long battery life of the Galaxy Note 9 at the Unpacked event. Samsung is likely banking on the alleged new features of the S Pen along with the general internal upgrades of the Note 9 to sell the device. But will that be enough? With the lackluster sales of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus (at least compared to previous Galaxy S devices), Samsung needs a bonafide hit with the Note 9. What do you think? Will you buy a Note 9 just based on some internal upgrades and a new S Pen? Let us know in the comments! NEXT: Galaxy Note 9 official press render leaked<doc-sep>We're now just two weeks away from the launch of the Galaxy Note 9 , and that means Samsung is getting its hype machine into full force. Today the company released its first official teaser video for the phone, and it's all about the battery life prospects of the upcoming flagship. Warning: this 30-second clip may be traumatic for some of you. We've all been there. We've had our phones dying at the worst possible time, with an important meeting, call, appointment or transport on the line. Samsung has always poked fun at other phones' batteries — primarily Apple over the years — as a way to promotes its wireless charging feature and Adaptive Fast Charge system, but in reality it has mostly offered just average battery life on its phones. The Note 9 really should have the best battery life of any Samsung phone. All of the leaks up to this point point to the Galaxy Note 9 having a much larger battery than its predecessors, perhaps in the 4000mAh range, which has been an area where the last couple generations of Note left a lot to be desired. Not only was battery life simply average rather than exceptional, but the batteries have been marginally smaller than their Galaxy S+ counterparts — which just didn't make much sense for a phone that's supposed to be the biggest and best in every respect. Samsung putting emphasis on battery life with its first teaser video bodes well for the Note 9, because you'd expect that Samsung would want to make its first marketing message one that it knows it can deliver on. We'll see for certain when Samsung unveils the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 — and you know Android Central will be there to offer all of the coverage you desire.<doc-sep>
Samsung has released a new teaser trailer for the Galaxy Note 9 and it’s promising a solution to one of mobile’s biggest issues — battery life. The :30 teaser portrays that familiar modern day fear of a smartphone battery dying at a bad time. Like when you’re trying to catch a rideshare to a business meeting. The hapless Samsung owner tries all the usual tricks to eke out a few more precious minutes — darkening the screen, turning off wifi and GPS, etc. “Battery can’t keep up?” the video tagline asks. “A lot can change in a day.” Samsung is releasing a series of teasers leading up to its Galaxy Note 9 Unpacked event on Aug. 9. This one seems to confirm earlier rumors that the new smartphone will have improved battery life. The flagship reportedly features a 4,000mAh battery and up to 25 hours of continuous video playback at maximum brightness. That’s a big improvement over the Galaxy Note 8, which had a 3,300mAh battery. Of course, the last time Samsung tried to put a big battery into a Galaxy phone, it notoriously didn’t go so well. A defect caused many Note 7 units to overheat and explode. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall in 2016, and Samsung later discontinued the phone. Samsung hasn’t officially revealed many details about its new product, such as specs or price, but if it upholds its battery life promises, the Galaxy Note 9 could become the next great gaming phone.
