Samsung Galaxy Note9 hands-on review

09 August 2018
The latest UNPACKED event is over and the Samsung Galaxy Note9 is now official. It wasn't too hard to guess the next Galaxy Note though - it's a bigger Galaxy S9+ with an S-Pen. It employs every cutting-edge technology Samsung has right now and builds on the legacy that once sparked the phablet revolution.

      Dear Samsung

      Time to stop putting limits to 4K videos. 10 min for 4K30 and 5 min for 4K60 is a big lame.
      Apple and Sony let users record until storage goes full. Also could provide higher bitrate. Some phones with same 8XX snapdragon offer almost 10Mbps more.

      Better selfie cam for skype. Only LG has worse front cam.

      I like colors, big battery and new pen skills.

          BEST phone of 2018

            The design is getting real boring now. I sure hope Samsung will radically change the design next year as it'll be their S series anniversary. The S10 has to be a big change kind of like how the iPhone X was compared to previous iPhones.

                IMO why should I buy this? NO, thanks. after 1 year, there's a new Samsung series again that will launch again. People will spend money for it which is nothing is special out of it.

                  I had the note 8. It was a good phone but the finger print scanner was in the wrong place. the new note 9 has a few improvements over the note 8: better placement of finger print scanner, larger battery, stereo speakers, improved camera, bluetooth pen and a few other refinements. It looks like a great phone if there was not the high price. But still it is worth considering.

                    "The camera does 4-frame image stacking, three times, and then combines the three resulting images to cancel out noise. Samsung promises 30% less noise on all images, which is an impressive achievement right there."
                    No, that's embarrassing for stacking 12 frames. Already 2-frame stacking should lead to 30% less noise.

                      The design is so outdated and yesteryear.

                        Designwise = front = nice, back = horrid. Specs = you pay for it. pen = I dont need it and never seen anyone use it. I know people will buy this over the competition, but why? Because it's big? Because it has a pen? No because it's the last note...and thats sad.

                            i love note series , but seriously note 8 and 9's rear side looks very ugly , camera and fingerprint sensor area should be looking more better , it's so outdated and ugly in my p.o.v

                              it's good that actually the pen still works, even when its battery runs out

                                Dope. It's a pretty damn good phone.
                                My only disappointment-- Still Quick charge 2.0. Gonna take some time charging this.

                                      I think they don't wanna increase the speed of the fast charging to prevent users from degrading their batteries fast... I even switched the fast charging off on my Galaxy a7 so that the battery would last longer.. not that it even takes time to charge. Under 2 hrs it's done
