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.
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

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...
Pros:
- Great display
- The S Pen stylus remains unique
- Smooth performance
Cons:
- Complex UI
- can lag after a while
- Expected better battery life

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: Worth every penny!
The first thing that you will want to do when you get your Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is pop out the S-Pen and start scribbling on the screen. At least, that's what I did. This is a device that is a lot more fun to use than your regular phones.

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...

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
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
