The stylus is one feature that I always wanted so that I can do illustrations or drawing for sharing. Now if only they develop a means to do temperature readings, that would be the ultimate.

In conclusion, I think that the Galaxy Note 9 is a great choice for a smartphone. It has no compromises and has all the features you could need, making it the best choice for an Android smartphone out there if the price isn’t a problem.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is now the closest thing to perfection – great build, excellent display, still the best cameras and all-day battery. But the price is hard to chew in reality for most Filipinos.

Swapped to this from an iPhone and was concerned about losing data but by using Smartswitch (comes with the phone) I managed to get all my apps up and running very quickly. As a photographer I particularly like to use the camera and adjust the settings that I want.

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

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

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!

Samsung's latest high-end smartphone, the Galaxy Note 9, follows on from last year's Note 8. So-called because of its use of an integrated "stylus" pen (S Pen), the Note 9 has several functions which are appealing to photographers.

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

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...

Great display; The S Pen stylus remains unique; Smooth performance

Complex UI; can lag after a while; Expected better battery life; Expected better battery life
