Samsung Electronics Co Ltd unveiled the Galaxy Note 9 “phablet” in New York  in a key product launch that it hopes will attract younger customers with stepped-up features and services for gamers and music-lovers.

Samsung’s new focus marks a shift away from its previous positioning of the Note as a multi-tasking device popular with graphic designers and artists.

But the hefty price tag – at $999.99 for the base 128 gigabyte model, according to U.S. carrier Verizon Communications Inc – has raised questions as to whether features such as a longer battery life and quick cooling would be enough to attract customers.

Now Samsung revealed that the Galaxy Note 9 price in India starts at Rs. 67,900, not much of a premium over its predecessor as the company grapples with low sales of the two Galaxy S9series models from earlier this year. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was unveiled globally at an event in New York, with key features being a 6.4-inch QHD+ AMOLED panel, upgraded S Pen with Bluetooth LE, and a 4,000mAh battery that the company claims will deliver day-long battery life.
