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.

Some have faulted Samsung for not bringing a complete reinvention of the , or some other major platform upgrade.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on paper doesn't do much to set the world alight. Its specifications match that of one or other previously released Samsung smartphone. What it does do, however, is improve on that hardware in almost all aspects, from a brighter display, better CPU performances, better AI...
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (128GB, Blue) AU - Excellent review
Even with an iPhone or three on the way, without doubt, the Galaxy Note 9 is Samsung’s best Galaxy yet, one of the year’s biggest phones, and a big deal, to boot. While the Galaxy S9 evolved the camera for the Galaxy family, the Note 9 completes the picture, with a smartphone that really finds a way...- Big, great screen, Glass and metal design is still nice, Absolutely stellar performance, S-Pen does even more, complete with battery built in, Using the S-Pen as a remote camera trigger is really cool, Good cameras, Water resistant, Still has the 3.5mm headphone jack
- Bixby button is still useless, Battery life could be better, Expensive
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is the best smartphone that money can buy. Unfortunately, it's going to take all of your money to buy it (or at least more than you're likely budgeting for a smartphone purchase this year). The iPhone X drove prices to this level, and we complained then, too.- Beautiful 6.4-inch Infinity Display
- Superb camera
- even in low light
- Battery and storage last and last
- Bluetooth S Pen shortcuts are fun
- Expensive
- A lot of small upgrades
- No HDR video recording
- We hate the Bixby button

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: A sensational big-screen experience

- Great camera performance in low-light
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- Bluetooth-enabled S Pen

- So many features you'll likely never find
- Expensive

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: The best big phone around
There isn't another phone on the market quite like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It's unashamedly huge, seriously expensive, and jams pretty much every high-end feature into a surprisingly svelte package.- Battery lasts the day
- comfortably
- Fantastic
- huge display with no notch
- S Pen remains unique
- Samsung's software has a number of handy features
- The overall design of the S9 Plus is better
- Bixby button is an annoyance
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: The Pen gets mightier!
While some say that the Galaxy S9 is Samsung's most underrated smartphone, it could be said to an extent. The reason - probably Samsung's inability to offer something exciting and different from its predecessors.
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.- Solid specs
- Beautiful design
- New S-Pen features
- Incredibly expensive
- Not a huge upgrade on the Note 8
- Runs on Android Oreo
