The Galaxy Note 9 is Samsung's ground-breaking phone that takes super strides in several key areas, including performance, power, storage and battery life.


A phone of firsts

For the first time, the S Pen uses Bluetooth technology, which becomes a remote for the Galaxy Note 9. Take photos, change slides, and even pause your YouTube video with the press of the button, or you can customise the controls. The S Pen is recharged by sliding it back into the Galaxy Note 9; you'll get another 30 minutes of power in 40 seconds.


Dual aperture camera

Another talking point is the dual aperture camera, which adapts to bright light or low light automatically, with suitably breathtaking results at any time of the day.


A cleaner look

The iris scanner and sensors are hidden away for a clean and sleek first impression. The Infinity Display is as impressive as ever, thanks to the wide Quad HD+ Super AMOLED screen.


A powerful gaming performer

The Galaxy Note 9 is winning rave reviews from gamers. The processor greatly minimises lag, overheating is kept under control by a water-cooling system, and an AI-based performance adjuster keeps the action smooth and flowing.


Store more

The Galaxy Note 9 takes storage to incredible levels. Potentially, you can start with up to 512GB of built-in storage and add 512GB more if you wish. As we now use our phones more like mini PCs, this storage capacity is more than welcome.


One charge per day

With so much happening on the Galaxy Note 9, you'll be pleased to know the 4000mAh battery can go all day on a single charge, allowing you to make the most of every feature when you need it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Full, in-depth, Australian review

This is one of the best smartphones you can buy right now. But whether you should buy it is another question entirely. Even in 2018 - a time when budget and mid-tier smartphones are offering more value than ever - there’s still something really infectious and compelling about the big, bold, underlined hype of a flagship device like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Does anybody really need this much power in a smartphone? Who cares! This phone has it, and those power-users doomed to lust after the best are going to be drawn to it like moths. So it was with the Note 5 and the Note 8. And so it will be with the Note 9.
Pros:
  • Solid specs
  • Beautiful design
  • New S-Pen features
Cons:
  • Incredibly expensive
  • Not a huge upgrade on the Note 8
  • Runs on Android Oreo

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Smartphone 128GB Midnight Black SM-N960FZKANZC review

Many people said the Note 9’s only purpose was to give Samsung more time to prepare a more dramatically-overhauled smartphone in order to remain relevant in a fight where Apple keeps impressing with the new-generation iPhone.

Pros:
  • Beautifully vibrant and sharp display, exceptionally powerful hardware, impressive battery life, superb cameras, S Pen has innovative features.
Cons:
  • Casing is still a fingerprint magnet, needs a learning curve to truly master every trick available, conservative design.

Samsung's Galaxy Note line has had a rocky couple of years with the ill-fated Note7 followed by what could only be considered a brain fade by Samsung with their fingerprint sensor placement in the Note8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Smartphone 128GB Midnight Black SM-N960FZKANZC review

But perhaps because Samsung’s been in the flagship game longer, there’s a certain confidence and sophistication to the Note’s form that other brands beyond Apple are just finding now. – Rappler.com

The Samsung Galaxy Note series has a reputation for great design, unparalleled performance, and great cameras. The Note 9's camera is definitely up there, but it's still hard to beat beasts like the Huawei P20 Pro and a couple others. Regardless, an overall 8.5 score is nothing to scoff at.
Pros:
  • Good exposure White balance is almost always right Great Portrait Mode performance Food Mode performs amazingly Vibrant colors
Cons:
  • Bad dynamic range (HDR) Food Mode can make images look warm Over-processing can hurt detail
