Anonymous, 19 Aug 2018Sorry but objectively it's the best. And I don't have any i... moreThat's because you use cargo pants. Most of us don't. Only suits' pockets are as deep. Everyday wear, forget about it. Most top at 15cm. Samsung's greed to look "unique" made them include top and bottom bezels which ultimately destroyed this phablet into being a a straight tablet for many people (can't pocket it).
It is so sad that they did this. They could use a corner notch that doesn't look half as bad and make the phone so much smaller (also the chin is completely useless). I don't if it meant that the phone will get 0.5mm thicker, nobody would. Just make it shorter, 16cm is 1cm too much.
15x7.5cm should be the phablet size (pocketable)
And 12.5x6.2cm the phone size (one handed use)
Thankfully now that most understood that bezels are useless we may start getting some of those dimensions back. In fact Note 9 was almost there... Almost.

LG Superfan, 19 Aug 2018Imo it was the Note8, Note9 is just a small upgrade over itMain complaint about the Note 8? Battery size, right? "It's 200mAh smaller than the Galaxy S plus! Fail!", so they increased it by 700 mAh. That's not a small upgrade. Especially considering the pen actually takes up more space this year with the bluetooth battery charger.
Yes, it is hard to massively outdo a flagship phone on every point every year when you've released the apex flagship model for nearly a decade. But there are plenty of great upgrades even if you're making the somewhat irrelevant comparison with last year's model (most people upgrade every second year). Everything from the processor, screen size, speakers, pen, variable camera aperture, 8/512GB RAM and storage...

Mi7even, 19 Aug 2018My sister has her Galaxy Note 4 for 3 years so far , stock ... moreI'm envious. I wish mine still worked. But there are a lot of us whose note 4 died due to motherboard problems outside of guarantee. Mine worked great until soon after one update it went into a boot loop, and that is it dead. Samsung say it needs a new motherboard, minimum £150. XDA forums have many suggestions but it comes down to components failing on the motherboard. Even when it was alive, there was the beginnings of screen burn in from the home screen icons.
There hasn't been a worthy note since then (5 not released in UK anyway). Flat 16:9 screen, replaceable battery. Now narrow screen with curved sides for a device you write on?

And if you think the price is too much, you can get the compromised affordable flagship everywhere else

Even a million years ago (exaggeration purely for emphasis), my Psion 3 had hot-swappable batteries, so no reboot required. Used AA cells which are still universally available, and you could use rechargeables. We haven't even got that now.

The Note 9 is by far the most complete usable and overall best smartphone in the world. There's not one real competitor that offers this complete package: S-pen, best screen in the world, largest battery in the world, Samsung Pay with MST support, headphone jack, expandable memory to 1 GB, 8 Gb internal memory, 512 GB storage, fast charging, wireless fast charging, multi-window, Dolby Atmos support, Dual Sim support, most secure smartphone in the World according to Gartner because of Samsung's defense grade Knox security layer, Dual Pixel superfast autofocus, Dual Aperture with F/1.5 aperture for super low light foto's, Pro Mode camera, Super Slow mode, DEX mode, no notch, NFC and best mobile VR experience.
There's no other smartphone that even comes close to the overall quality and usability of the Note 9.
