So I been using the Galaxy Note 9 for about three months and I have to say… I really enjoy it. I mean it’s been a powerhouse of a device. The smaller batteries of the Galaxy S9 and the on/off drains I had on the Note 8 have been nonexistent here.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is now the closest thing to perfection – great build, excellent display, still the best cameras and all-day battery. But the price is hard to chew in reality for most Filipinos.

But perhaps because Samsung’s been in the flagship game longer, there’s a certain confidence and sophistication to the Note’s form that other brands beyond Apple are just finding now. – Rappler.com

The newer phone, however, comes with a slightly larger 6.4-inch screen compared to the 6.2-incher on the Galaxy S9+. Plus, it has a unique main attraction – a souped-up S Pen stylus that doubles up as a remote controller.

There are no secrets in consumer electronics anymore. Sometimes it’s the fault of flubs and flaws and leakers. Sometimes it’s by design. In the case of the Galaxy Note 9 , it’s a little bit of both.
