Crazy cruel mobile. Fast Well balanced and good design Awesome screen Awesome update of the pen 6GB RAM really helps Do not thank no to 128GB Good battery life Worth its price. The best mobile phone Samsung spotted :) Had a S9 + and thinks it's the right big difference.

Yes, if you are looking for an Android work horse. Yes, if you are looking for an upgrade from your earlier Note devices. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is clearly one of the best Android phones you can buy, but the S Pen is the one reason why you might end up buying it in the end.

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.

As per usual, Samsung’s flagship is top drawer, but it struggles to justify its huge price tag

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've been using the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 extensively since last Thursday and plan to pick up my own at T-Mobile when it is released next week. Fans of the Note should seriously consider the Note 9 as it fills in the gaps from the Note 8 and takes the S Pen experience to the next level.

Long battery life; Gorgeous large 6.4 inch display; Fantastic S Pen experience; Outstanding RF performance and high call quality; Solid DeX capability with no extra hardware required

Launches with Android Oreo

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a great phone and it's an epic upgrade from older Samsung devices and a great option alongside the Pixel 3 XL.

The Galaxy Note 9 display looks amazing; The new S Pen features make an already great item even better; The Note 9 camera is a solid performer; The Note 9 battery life meets my needs for an all day phone; The Note 9 software and themes are top notch; The Note 9 design is better than the S9+ for me

Bixby isn't great and Samsung needlessly locks down the Bixby button; Iris Scanning is slow and unreliable

Samsung continues its nearly spotless history of delivering excellent big-screen phones with the Note 9. It offers powerful performance, a long-lasting battery and a brilliant display.

I pick up the Galaxy Note 9 ( $1,000 at Amazon.com ) , pop out the S Pen stylus and start to write on the black screen in tart lemon-colored digital ink. It hits me: This phone is more fun to use than your phone.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a big, beautiful phone with top-tier specs including a massive battery and internal storage that starts at 128GB; The new S Pen doubles as a wireless remote for taking long-distance selfies

It's expensive and offers few real innovations over last year's Note 8; The fingerprint reader is uncomfortably close to the camera

Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 is a perfect fit for exactly one type of user: Somebody who wants every smartphone feature under the sun and won't balk at spending $1,000+ to get them.

Bright; high-res HDR screen; S Pen doubles as remote; Long battery life; Loads of storage; even on the base model; Loud; bassy stereo speakers

Really expensive; Doesn't ship with Android 9 Pie; Hit-or-miss camera AI features
