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

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

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

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...

World-class 6.4-inch OLED display; Leading low-light photography; Excellent battery capacity; Excellent system performance; Up to 1TB of storage

Battery charging should be faster

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!

Have had the note 9 for almost a year now and I love the phone. I didnt think I would like anything better than my note 4 but i do. I have been with Samsung for about eight years and I have had no problems with my phones. But this one is exceptional. I enjoy the ram size and the internal memory.

Water cooled graphics card; Ram size; Internal memory; Great display size; Great battery; Developer options; Pie operating system; The S pen; Overall quality wether it be usage or performance

None that I can think of as long as you know how to set up all the settings right and clean the phone regularly

Bought for my son he is very pleased with it ,screen size is large but not bulky like some of the phones out there the note 9 is packed with lots of fun features and the knew s pen is very light and fun to use and not to mention the lovely colour choice for the phone best phone hands down

Welcome to T3's full, starred, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review. This is the culmination of my weeks-long reviewing process that has seen me analyse every part of the flagship handset, all in order to see if it is the best Android phone in the world, as well as if it does enough to enter our prestigious...

Technical hardware leader; 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen is best in the world; New S Pen digital stylus works superbly; Audio is top draw; with Dolby Atmos and UHQ upscaling; Comprehensive Samsung software suite

4,000mAh battery is only competitive; not standout; Bixby AI assistant is still definitely a work in progress; Expensive; even for the entry model

I am a bit of a Samsung fan and this phone does not disappoint in any way. I have still lots to play around with but so far I can't fault it. I had the note 3 before this and if lasts me as long as that I be happy. I find battery last ok .

Rhe note series of phones are amazing I love this phone just like all other note phones Huge hit for samsung.
