Samsung Galaxy Note 9 128GB
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.

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.
- Good exposure White balance is almost always right Great Portrait Mode performance Food Mode performs amazingly Vibrant colors
- Bad dynamic range (HDR) Food Mode can make images look warm Over-processing can hurt detail
Well before 6-inch displays were mainstream, there was a series of smartphones that made the word phablet trendy. Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note series back in 2011 when smartphones were supposed to be compact and a 4.0-inch display was considered scandalously large – well, the first Galaxy Note...

Galaxy Note 9 Review: Great, But Is It Worth $1,000
If there's one thing Samsung excels at, it's stunning smartphone screens. The same Super AMOLED panel with quad-HD resolution that you find in the Note 8 and Galaxy S9 is what you get with the Note 9, but then again, it's pretty hard to improve upon perfection.- Gorgeous 6.4-inch display
- S Pen gets new powers via Bluetooth
- AI camera improves photos
- Lots of onboard storage
- DeX mode works without dock
- Expensive
- Bixby still needs work
- Water cooling doesn't impress
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: Epic phone, epic price
Value is subjective, and little illustrates that quite so well as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Long the largest physically of the company's smartphones, now the Note family pushes Samsung into a new price bracket, too: like Apple's iPhone X, you're looking at a $1,000 membership fee if you want access...- The best smartphone screen around
- Huge amounts of power
- memory
- and storage
- S Pen keeps getting more functional
- Cameras are reliable workhorses
- $1,000+ price tag is eye-watering
- Samsung's software can be frustrating
- Bixby still underwhelms

- Expensive
- Bixby still needs work
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: Power packed flagship upgrade
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 older Galaxy Note 8 which is available for a...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review
It's fair to say that you have to dig a little deeper than surface level to really appreciate the Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s charms. The Bluetooth S-Pen, 1TB of storage and much-improved speakers aren’t features you’ll necessarily appreciate properly off a spec list in the local phone shop, but start using them, and their benefits become clear. Ultimately though, this is a enriched take on the Note 8 - an S9+ on steroids if you will - rather than something that feels brand new. But when those phones were pretty great in the first place, it's hard to complain too much. We say too much, because given the Note 9’s battery capacity, its real-world stamina could, and should, be a little better. And that dulls its shine, just a bit.- Great screen
- Top-notch performance
- Better than ever S-Pen
- Superb cameras
- Battery life is only ok for its size
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: The best never felt so bland
If you want pure power and performance, the Galaxy Note 9 is the best Android phone you can buy, but it's expensive and not very exciting.- Great screen
- great specs
- great camera
- S Pen has some cool new tricks
- Giant battery means it'll last through most days
- It's expensive
- It still runs Android Oreo and probably will for a while
- Bixby isn't as good as Google Assistant and you can't turn off the button...
