Maybe as I start using the phone more, I'll figure out what Samsung is bragging about. I bought this phone becuase I loved my Note 5 (but it kept turning itself off), but I think I am still missing my Note 5 or having trouble with change. All I am seeing is that they moved things around.

Did not meet expectations

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

The

boasts a slightly-bigger 6.4in screen, a Bluetooth-enabled S-Pen, a beefier battery and, if you're willing to cough up for a 512GB microSD card, up to 1TB of storage. However, on the face of it, Samsung's new flagship - with its curvy AMOLED screen and Gorilla Glass-clad chassis - looks near...

Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 represents the apex of today's flagship smartphone market in many ways. The overall design remains generally unchanged from last year's Note 8 offering, but Samsung's highlighted various areas for dramatic improvement. Read my full review below.

Hello, my name is Tegan and I am not a fan of Stylus'. Not on tablets. Nor laptops. And especially not on phones. I have often questioned the point of them. After all, I have a perfectly good pointer finger to do the job. I haven't even opened the one that came with my Dell XPS 13.

Since the beginning , the big honking screens on Galaxy Note phones have been their most memorable characteristic. But as the rest of the smartphone world caught onto the jumbo display trend and screen sizes from various makers started to converge around six-inch displays, the throne on which...

Superb battery life; S-Pen functions as a mini as a remote; Dex mode is easier to use; best-in-class display; big specs Isn't running Android 9 Pie; design hasn't changed much aside from new colors; Bixby button still not reprogrammable

Isn't running Android 9 Pie; design hasn't changed much aside from new colors; Bixby button still not reprogrammable

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was officially unveiled in New York on Thursday. The newest member of the Galaxy Note series packs a massive 4,000mAh battery and the series' biggest display yet. The Galaxy Note 9 launch comes at a time when Samsung desperately needs a hit.

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...

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
