Two ways to watch MKV movies on Galaxy Note 9

The Galaxy Note 9 has plenty of things going for it, including an S Pen that doubles as a remote control. The 4,000 mAh battery is the biggest ever in a Samsung handset, which is a big step up from the Note 8 and its 3,300 mAh power pack. The same Super AMOLED panel with quad-HD resolution that you find in the Note 8 and Galaxy S9 is what you get with the Note 9, but then again, it’s pretty hard to improve upon perfection.

Generally Speaking, Galaxy Note 9 doesn’t support MKV files natively. So in order to enjoy them on Galaxy Note 9, you’ll need to use MKV media player that enables the playback of .mkv formats, or convert MKV to Galaxy Note 9 compatible video formats.
