The Seoul firm's new device once again features the Note line's signature S Pen stylus, this time in an upgraded form with integrated Bluetooth functionality.
It also comes equipped with the characteristic 'phablet' size screen, this time a whopping 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display.
The firm claims this phone will 'raise the bar for speed and power once again' and is available in four colours: Midnight Black, Lavender Purple and Ocean Blue.
Samsung claimed the Note 9 was designed with gaming in mind, and announced that Fortnite will be available on the gadget, the first Android device to host the game.
The Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney also announced a special 'Galaxy' skin for Fortnite for the select group of players who access the game on the new device.
Samsung's marquee product will be available starting from August 24 in the UK with prices earmarked at £899 ($999) for the 128GB variant and £1,099 ($1,249) for the 512GB variant.
Samsung launched the phone at its Samsung Unboxed event in New York today, which it live streamed to more than half a million people worldwide.
The most notable improvements to the Note 9 from its predecessor, the Note 8, lie in the S-pen, the processor and the battery life.
It is also fitted with a host of sensors and complex equipment, including an accelerometer, barometer, fingerprint sensor, geomagnetic sensor and a heart rate sensor.
'The Note has always been our showcase for premium technology and industry-defining innovation, and Galaxy Note9 is no exception,' DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT and Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics told an audience at the Samsung Unboxed event in New York.
'It's designed for a level of performance, power and intelligence that today's power users want and need.
'Note fans are Samsung's most loyal; we know they want it all, to get the most out of work and play, and Galaxy Note9 is the only phone that can keep up with their busy lives.'
