Pros: Long-lasting battery life, Excellent low-light camera performance, New S Pen improvements

Pros: Great display, The S Pen stylus remains unique, Smooth performance
Cons: Complex UI, can lag after a while, Expected better battery life, Expected better battery life
Verdict: Well before 6-inch displays were mainstream, there was a series of smartphones that made the word phablet trendy. Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note series back in 2011 when smartphones were supposed to be compact and a 4.0-inch display was considered scandalously large – well, the first Galaxy Note...

Samsung Galaxy Note9 review: Still the king of big-screen flagship phones

Pros: 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...
Cons: 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
Verdict: 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.

Pros: Good exposure White balance is almost always right Great Portrait Mode performance Food Mode performs amazingly Vibrant colors
Cons: Bad dynamic range (HDR) Food Mode can make images look warm Over-processing can hurt detail
Verdict: 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.

Verdict: Samsung's Galaxy Note line has had a rocky couple of years with the ill-fated Note7 followed by what could only be considered a brain fade by Samsung with their fingerprint sensor placement in the Note8.

Cons: iPhones offer better sound quality, Expensive
Verdict: 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.

Pros: Good Battery Life, Incredible Camera, Acceptable Performance, Cool S Pen Features, Superb Display, Massive Storage (Expandable to 1TB
Cons: Annoying Bixby Button, Depleting Battery Health, Expensive, Incremental Upgrades
Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has a few incremental upgrades that may not be impressive for everyone. Sure, the new S Pen is neat and it has a bigger battery, but will it be enough for anyone to upgrade It performs fairly well aside from a few overheating issues.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: The Pen gets mightier!

Verdict: 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 Note9

Pros: Glamorous design, Outstanding camera, Wireless charging, Fast processor, Great battery life, Useful S Pen
Cons: Pricey, Too big for some hands, Not everyone needs a stylus
Verdict: Samsung's phones, with the exception of the Note 7, have grown better pretty consistently.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Making phablets exciting again

Pros: Long-lasting battery life, Excellent low-light camera performance, New S Pen improvements
Cons: Very expensive, Little on offer to warrant an upgrade
Verdict: Samsung is bringing the fight to Apple, and the Galaxy Note 9 is a top-tier phablet worthy of recognition

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: The best big phone around

Pros: Battery lasts the day, comfortably, Fantastic, huge display with no notch, S Pen remains unique, Samsung's software has a number of handy features
Cons: The overall design of the S9 Plus is better, Bixby button is an annoyance
Verdict: 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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review

Pros: World-class 6.4-inch OLED display, Leading low-light photography, Excellent battery capacity, Excellent system performance, Up to 1TB of storage
Cons: Battery charging should be faster
Verdict: Although the Galaxy Note 9 features a couple of twists such as the 4000 mAh battery and the BT enabled Pen, it's fair to say that it came out more or less as expected. As the final handset of the Series 9 line, it is evident that it would feature mostly the same strengths with a few extras to make...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Smartphone Review

Verdict: Samsung once again delivers the business smartphone of the year, nothing less is to be expected. Even the owners of the Note 8 have a lot to gain by switching to the Note 9. However, this does not have a lot to do with the S Pen: The new remote control functionality is neat, but not revolutionary.

Pros: Amazing display, Fast and powerful, Sleek design, Excellent camera, S Pen Bluetooth connectivity, Samsung DeX
Cons: Expensive, Will be too big for some users
Verdict: 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...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: The best never felt so bland

Verdict: The Galaxy Note 9 is Samsung's passionate love letter to Note fans. It has insane specs, a gigantic, gorgeous screen, a Bluetooth-powered S Pen, and a headphone jack-all critical features for the kind of Android user that Samsung is targeting with a Note update.

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

Pros: Excellent display, Great camera performance in low-light, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, Fantastic battery life
Cons: So many features you'll likely never find, Expensive, Bixby button can no longer be redirected, S9+ may suit more casual users
Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a catalogue of successes. With a premium build, an absolutely excellent screen, a mature software experience, great cameras, all the power you could possibly need, excellent battery life and fabulous AKG-tuned speakers, there's little it gets wrong.

Pros: Impressive battery life, Great camera, Class-leading display
Cons: Not much of an upgrade from Note 8
Verdict: The Samsung Note 9 with its Exynos 9810 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB onboard storage feels like old wine in an old bottle, with just a new label

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review

Pros: Beautiful 6.4-inch Infinity Display, Superb camera, even in low light, Battery and storage last and last, Bluetooth S Pen shortcuts are fun
Cons: Expensive, A lot of small upgrades, No HDR video recording, We hate the Bixby button
Verdict: 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.

Verdict: 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.

Verdict: 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 Review: Epic phone, epic price

Pros: The best smartphone screen around, Huge amounts of power, memory, and storage, S Pen keeps getting more functional, Cameras are reliable workhorses
Cons: $1,000+ price tag is eye-watering, Samsung's software can be frustrating, Bixby still underwhelms
Verdict: 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...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Pros: 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
Cons: It's expensive and offers few real innovations over last year's Note 8. The fingerprint reader is uncomfortably close to the camera
Verdict: 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.

Pros: 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
Cons: Really expensive, Doesn't ship with Android 9 Pie, Hit-or-miss camera AI features
Verdict: 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.

Pros: 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
Cons: Isn't running Android 9 Pie, design hasn't changed much aside from new colors, Bixby button still not reprogrammable
Verdict: 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...

Galaxy Note 9 Review: Great, But Is It Worth $1,000

Pros: Gorgeous 6.4-inch display, S Pen gets new powers via Bluetooth, AI camera improves photos, Lots of onboard storage, DeX mode works without dock
Cons: Expensive, Bixby still needs work, Water cooling doesn't impress
Verdict: If there's one thing Samsung excels at, it's stunning smartphone screens. The same Super AMOLED panel with quad-HD resolution that you find in the Note 8 and Galaxy S9 is what you get with the Note 9, but then again, it's pretty hard to improve upon perfection.

Verdict: 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...

Verdict: 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.

Watch: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Quick Review

Verdict: It's that time of the year, and Samsung unveiled the next iteration of its famed phablet with the Galaxy Note 9. While it may look the same as last year's Galaxy Note 8, the major changes on the Galaxy Note 9 include a Bluetooth-powered S Pen and a big 4000mAh battery.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 Hands On With A Stylus-Hater

Verdict: 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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review

Pros: * Large, high-resolution display, * S Pen with Bluetooth remote features, * Large RAM and storage, * Good camera, * Great performance with good heat management, * Samsung DeX, * IP68 certified, * Big battery
Verdict: It's finally here. The Galaxy Note 8's successor and Samsung's most powerful smartphone to date, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 . It sports a familiar look but with beefed up specs and enhanced features. But does it have enough to convince Note 8 and S9/S9+ users to upgrade Find out in our review.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 hands-on: the last of its kind

Verdict: Last year's Note 8 was a conservative smartphone. No wonder, since the successor of the Note 8 couldn't be a failure like its predecessor. With the Note 9, Samsung can once again show what the manufacturer is capable of.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Has Been Reviewed Before Its Launch And Here is How it Will be

Verdict: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is set to make its first appearance on August 9 and yet, more than a month before its launch, a report has unveiled almost everything about the device. As per the report, the Galaxy Note 9 will be much like its predecessor in terms of the design and will come in three storage...

Good phone.

Verdict: The last Note i had was the 4. With the pen, and the edges being curved glass, on this model, selecting items near the corners is lame, and takes more then one try, typically. The auto scroll feature with the pen and the hover above an item feature, are combined in the settings, now.

S Pen is wonderful!

Verdict: I had a Note 5, then another phone, and cracked that one. Replaced with the Note 9 because I really missed the S Pen. Now I have my pen back, and have it programmed to take pictures with a click of the button. The ability to jot notes on the lock screen when I think of something is fantastic!

Great phone

Verdict: 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

Front camera

Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
Verdict: Samsung note has best camera experience but Samsung have to upgrade vivid filter effect in front camera I miss it a lot Vivid required

best display, useful pen, but not for macbook user

Verdict: I love the s-pen and always on display memo, screen shot gesture, camera, split screen, customisable home screen layouts, and it's fast! I bought this to replace my iPad pro with then pen.
