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

Bigger and Better Battery, Impressive Camera, Improved S Pen, Amazing Battery, Good Performance, 128GB Note9 Cheaper than the Note8
Could be a bit pricey for some

Great battery lifespan, Bluetooth functionality in the S Pen (finally), AI camera detects 20 different scenes and objects to improve picture quality, Smooth and fast operator with large storage
It's expensive, Bixby has yet to impress, Without a phone cover, it ends up getting smudged by your finger prints
