Taking place a few hours after the National Day Parade that took place on the same day, Samsung has additional devices announced such as Galaxy Note 9, S9 Plus as well as the new smartwatch which is Galaxy Watch. They are said to have better battery life which may last all day or something with the Galaxy Watch having the battery life that lasts a week. There's also a charger where you can charge your phone and the Galaxy Watch at the same time and the new pen has the ability to act as a remote control for your phone. That pen can be quite useful for presenting things at work as well as issuing remote commands to your phone like the event that demonstrated the remote photo-taking with it. Perhaps, a voice command to the phone for taking photo or video should be extra handy although the new pen is already useful in more ways.
Even Epic Games was involved in this event in which the Android version of Fortnite was announced on the same day. At that time, the limited beta version was available on select Samsung Android devices with full Android release being available on the later date. Fornite is one of next-gen games by Epic Games and you can probably guess that it uses Unreal Engine. To me, it is more or less the Unreal Engine's first-party game as it is made by Epic Games using that engine. There may be tons of third-party developers using that engine as well like it's a popular game engine for all kinds of game developers. Interestingly enough, both Unity and Unreal Engine are supported on IOS & Android so a more powerful IOS/Android device is needed to run those games. I don't know if the recent IOS & Android devices have superseded the 7th Generation consoles or not when it comes to Unreal Engine games.
The Galaxy Watch has the better wellness tracking like it is your wellness assistant or something. As seen from the reveal video of Galaxy Watch, you can turn the outer edge of the screen to select whichever fitness activity you want. It's a different way of interface interactivity. Plus, the device can monitor your sleep pattern, tell you to take a deep breath in case of stress like you need to relax or something. With LTE, you should be able to respond to messages, phone calls and to keep track of GPS on the go although having phone calls using the smartwatch is sort of weird in my opinion like when your phone rings and you're reminded of this with your smartwatch, it's best to use your phone to answer the call.
There's also the Galaxy Home device along with Bixby which is the virtual assistant for select Samsung Galaxy devices. Even the Galaxy Note 9 is supported by Samsung Dex as well although I already saw Samsung Dex in action through the previous IT roadshows.
Projection-wise, there seemed to be multiple screens involved and everything for the floor part has to be in different angle or something. Not to mention that the camera was positioned well as if things on the floor are on the same angle to match the default angle of the main center screen.
At the beginning of the livestream, you could see a commercial-like preview detailing the current technical situation like running out of battery, storage space or even taking phone calls with a tablet which was kind of awkward. Besides the USB Flash Drives, SD Cards and SSDs having hundreds of GBs, even the internal storage will have that amount as well with the introduction of Galaxy Note 9 which has 128GB/512GB of internal storage. Such situation had become real like you had tons of work or personal data on your phone and especially for games and other apps that grow in size with additional contents. The solutions from that video would be to remove stuffs you didn't need to save storage space like I already uninstalled certain apps from my tablet as well as to remove the old screenshots. The videos on your devices are bigger culprits as they take up tons of storage space but it depends on the quality and resolution. Other solutions included disabling automatic updates as well as to switch your device to Wi-Fi or something to save power but mostly, the Power Saving option is there but I feel that it's not enough as the battery still decreases over time.
The livestream took about an hour and some of the new things had impressed me like things on the floor part in different angle to look like things were extended from the main screen in terms of projection, the introduction of the new pen called S-Pen which acts like a remote control using Bluetooth and of course, the new Galaxy Watch.
