Even in low light - it identifies parts of the photo such as the sky or people and tweaks the colour to ma
The editors didn't like
Battery life is only ok for its size
Only Android 8.1
Expensive
Very big for hands and pockets
Fingerprint scanner should be lower down the back
Bixby still not good enough
So many features you'll likely never find
Bixby button can no longer be redirected
S9+ may suit more casual users
A lot of small upgrades
No HDR video recording
Expensive (just to repeat)
The Galaxy Note 9 is very expensive
And offers few real innovations over last year's Note 8. The fingerprint reader is uncomfortably close to the camera
We hate the Bixby button
Very Expensive
Not much innovation
The overall design of the S9 Plus is better
Bixby button is an annoyance
IPhones offer better sound quality
4
000mAh battery is only competitive
Not standout
Bixby AI assistant is still definitely a work in progress
Even for the entry model
No Android 9.0 Pie support
Bixby still needs work
Pricey
Too big for some hands
Not everyone needs a stylus
Unnecessary software add-ons
Incremental updates compared to the Note 8
Bixby is still terrible
Rating
Expensive Still not on Android 9 SPen a little fiddly to get out
Worse in a case Quite a bit of Samsung bloat Bixby Button and Bixby Home just annoying All glass construction A bit of a fingerprint magnet Face Unlock not as quick as others Fingerprint se
Display suffers from fingerprint marks and the screen is hard to see in bright light
Squared-off design can be uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time

To conclude, I would like to reiterate the fact that the Galaxy Note 9 is still a beast of a device. The S Pen fans will appreciate the fact that the smartphone allows them to jot down quick notes, doodle or even use it to remotely control media playback...
Abstract: Sell your proper camera gear, phones can take portraits just as well already. This has been a popular claim to put in catchy headlines for the past couple of years, only to be totally debunked in the actual article or at the very least watered down with a...

As you can see the images, the camera quality of all the three phones are top-notch. I haven't had much time to use the Pixel 3 XL's camera, but these are the shots I've been able to manage and they seem to be pretty impressive, it does all with just a si...
We're not seriously thinking a lot of people on either side are contemplating a cross-platform switch to the Galaxy Note9 or the iPhone XS Max on grounds of camera performance alone. Yes, there are such specimens around these offices here, but we gather m...
Abstract: DESIGNThe new iPhone Xs Max is a bigger version of the iPhone Xs. Compared to Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the iPhone is still broader but less tall. This is due to the bezel on top and bottom of the Note9. The iPhone Xs is a complete bezelless with a notch o...
