Besides the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the South Korean tech giant also launched the Galaxy smartwatch. The new wearable comes with heart rate sensor and boasts of longer battery life and better performance.

Samsung claimed that the new Galaxy Watch can run for several days with a single charge. The new version of the watch can be charged along with Galaxy Note 9 with wireless charger duo.

It will also act as a personal health trainer, as it will keep a track of your breathing, sleeping patterns and workout sessions. Stress management is a new feature on the watch. Its function is to keep an eye on your heart rate, and if it's too high it'll give you a notification to sit down and will display a brething guide.

The Galaxy Watch has a circular display and is available in two sizes, 46mm and 42mm respectively. The smartwatch has touchscreen, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. It can be used as standalone as it supports the LTE connectivity, meaning you'll get all of your notifications and more even if you don't have your smartphone with you.

The Galaxy watch also has a rotating bezel, which we've witnessed on previous watches, and there are a ton of straps and the choice of 60,000 watch faces to choose from.

Samsung said the Note 9 will be the first Android phone to support Fortnite, a hugely popular video-and-smartphone survival game that was only playable on computers, consoles and Apple products until now. Lovers of the game would get an exclusive Note 9 character skin, or alternative appearance for characters.

The phablet - a cross between a smartphone and a tablet - would also be able to cool itself quickly during game sessions that typically heat phones up a lot.

Its S Pen stylus is Bluetooth-enabled and designed to act as a remote for controlling Youtube video playback.
