Check out the Samsung Galaxy Note 9's first television ad and re-live the unveiling

Just last Thursday, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was unveiled by Samsung. Carriers are stepping all over each other trying to come up with the best deal on the device, and pre-orders are now being accepted. The (have to use this at least once) "phablet" will actually launch in the U.S. and in other countries on August 24. The price for the 128GB model is $999.99, and $1249.99 will buy you the Galaxy Note 9 with 512GB of native storage.

Samsung has released its first ad for the Galaxy Note 9 that will no doubt interrupt your favorite prime time television shows and sporting events over the next few weeks. The 30 second spot shows off the new powerful S Pen that doubles as a remote control for the camera, allows you to select and activate apps, and more. The ad also mentions the longer battery life available, courtesy of the 4000mAh cell inside the handset.
