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

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

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...
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

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...
