Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is an attractive pen-enabled phablet with a fast processor, a terrific modem, and a huge battery. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 ($999.99 for 128GB; $1,249.99 for 512GB) is the ultimate productivity phone. Packed with a huge battery, a massive screen, and a powerful stylus, the Note 9 has more of everything than any other phone on the US market. This kind of beast won't be for everyone, that's for sure. But if you want to stay connected everywhere, constantly creating, with no worries about running out of juice, this will be your beloved monster. It's certainly our Editors' Choice for big-screen phones. Design and Size The Galaxy Note 9 ($999.99 at Amazon) looks almost exactly like last year's Galaxy Note 8. At 6.38 by 3.01 by 0.35 inches (HWD) and 7.09 ounces, it is very slightly narrower, very slightly thicker, and 0.2 ounces heavier than the Note 8, but you probably won't be able to notice the difference immediately from the front. In the US, it comes in blue and purple, but surprisingly not black. Let me make it clear: This phone is very large. And when you put it in a case, ...
Pros:
  • Big battery
  • Lots of storage
  • Excellent S Pen stylus
  • Class-leading processor and modem
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Heavy

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

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:
  • 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

Some have faulted Samsung for not bringing a complete reinvention of the , or some other major platform upgrade. We don't share that same view, as timing of the Note 9 was such that Samsung took what they had to work with (namely Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform) and seemingly worked hard...

  • Beautiful premium design
  • Best big phone display
  • Great performance
  • Killer battery life
  • Great S Pen refinement
  • Excellent camera
  • Good external speaker sound
  • Excellent features and tools with DeX

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 (128GB, Blue) AU - Excellent review

Even with an iPhone or three on the way, without doubt, the Galaxy Note 9 is Samsung’s best Galaxy yet, one of the year’s biggest phones, and a big deal, to boot. While the Galaxy S9 evolved the camera for the Galaxy family, the Note 9 completes the picture, with a smartphone that really finds a way...
Pros:
  • Big, great screen, Glass and metal design is still nice, Absolutely stellar performance, S-Pen does even more, complete with battery built in, Using the S-Pen as a remote camera trigger is really cool, Good cameras, Water resistant, Still has the 3.5mm headphone jack
Cons:
  • Bixby button is still useless, Battery life could be better, Expensive

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review

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.
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

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: The best big phone around

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.
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
