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

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has a stellar battery, and makes the most of its charge capacity. Because the phone has such a huge battery, it unsurprisingly has a similarly huge advantage in battery life over its closest peers too. Its main weakness — charge...

In our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note8 (Price Check), we pointed out that it was in a class of its own. This remains true with the new Samsung Galaxy Note9. Nothing else in the world comes close to it.So the question really isn't whether the Samsung Ga...
