Really happy with my purchase! Glad I did it as it was a last minute decision. The phone has great features that I am still exploring. Love the colour and the S-Pen which is really useful!

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

A big smartphone with a big price tag. It won't suit everyone, but the improved Note 9 is one of Samsung's best But all this tech doesn't come cheap. The Note 9 is Samsung's most expensive phone yet: the 512GB version will set you back an eye-watering £1099.

Bright and punchy screen; Smooth; speedy performance; Huge battery life and storage

iPhones offer better sound quality; Expensive

Samsung has hit a home run with the Galaxy Note 9 – never before has a device delivered in performance, power, design and features. The company took a tentative step forward with last year's Note 8 – the first device since the ill-fated Note 7 – yet still a key moment to deliver a new device to the...

Amazing display; Fast and powerful; Sleek design; Excellent camera; S Pen Bluetooth connectivity; Samsung DeX

Expensive; Will be too big for some users

Upgraded from S6 Edge Plus which I had for 3 years but I damaged display by accident. Note 9 has as beautiful amoled screen as s6 edge plus. It's super fast and there is no lag at all ( not like there was any in s6 edge plus). The highlight is battery life - 9.5 hours screen on time (SOT) !!!

If you want an excellent phone that does everything and has everything including a SD slot and the dying headphone jack then this is the phone for you. The price is expensive but compared to buying and iPhone X which is the same price, with the note you're getting much more bang for your buck.

I am writing this review fully aware that most Galaxy Note9 review articles and videos have been up for weeks. It's been a long almost two months for me as I've transplanted myself and the Techaeris operations from Chicago to Des Moines. So you'll have to forgive this late Galaxy Note9 review.

Still a sexy design; Build quality remains strong in the Note series; Samsung's displays are always amazing; Strong performer breezes through everything quickly; S-Pen options are much better this year; Battery life lasts all day and beyond; Speakers are much improved over the Note8; Fingerprint...

Glass back is a fingerprint graveyard; Pricing is very high; approaching the range some users may pass; Bixby (and its button) is improved but is still not going to be for everyone

I love the Samsung note phones but this one is by far the best the fingerprint sensor is much better than the note 8 and the speaker quality is great only downside is it really is so big you can't use one handed and won't fit in your pocket but if you can look past that you will love this phone

The stylus is one feature that I always wanted so that I can do illustrations or drawing for sharing. Now if only they develop a means to do temperature readings, that would be the ultimate.

Swapped to this from an iPhone and was concerned about losing data but by using Smartswitch (comes with the phone) I managed to get all my apps up and running very quickly. As a photographer I particularly like to use the camera and adjust the settings that I want.
