It lets you draw and take notes on the smartphone's screen
The camera takes some great shots
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
Overall, the Galaxy Note 9 packs one of the best cameras on a smartphone today. Sure, there are other smartphones like the Huawei P20 Pro and iPhone X that pack the best cameras in the segment. But if you are looking for a complete package, the Note 9 cou...
High-end build, One of the best displays in a smartphone, Excellent battery life, Universally great camera performance (video included), Feature-rich custom software, The S Pen stylus is now also a remote, One of few current big-name flagships with 3.5mm
Expensive, Not particularly original design and particularly unattractive back, Heavy - beyond the 200g mark, You can have too many software features, Where them Alcantara cases this year, Samsung
We've heard people saying 'it's an incremental upgrade', 'it doesn't bring anything on top of the Note8', 'it's the same phone as the S9+ only more expensive'. Erm. Those people could have been us too, and those people maybe have a point. The new Note d...
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has a few incremental upgrades that may not be impressive for everyone. Sure, the new S Pen is neat and it has a bigger battery, but will it be enough for anyone to upgrade? It performs fairly well aside from a few overheating is...
Great Display, S-pen supports Bluetooth, Great camera
Now, if you already own the older Galaxy Note 8 and you do not intend to use Samsung Dex at all then you can skip the Galaxy Note 9. Alternatively, if you don't want DeX and not sure of what exactly you will do with the stylus then you can opt for the old...
Stunning AMOLED display, Superior performance, Stellar cameras
Bixby still unusable, Bixby button not customisable, Top-end model pricey
The Galaxy Note 9 is everything that you expect from the top Samsung phone. It comes with a stunning display that's the biggest yet for the series, blazing fast performance, generous amount of memory and storage, some of the best cameras you'll see on a 2...
There are plenty of lower-specced phones that can handle day-to-day usage without hiccups, and they don't cost $1000. But if money's no object (and size is no problem), the Note 9 is a seriously powerful device with only a few minor disappointments—though...
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was officially unveiled in New York on Thursday. The newest member of the Galaxy Note series packs a massive 4,000mAh battery and the series' biggest display yet. The Galaxy Note 9 launch comes at a time when Samsung desperately need...
Abstract: The the Samsung Galaxy Note9 is now official. It wasn't too hard to guess what the next Galaxy Note will be like - it's a bigger Galaxy S9+ with an S-Pen. But that's us oversimplifying it. This phone employs every cutting-edge technology Samsung has right...
