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.

Sort by:

I live in Cambodia at the moment, does anyone know what will I get if I preorder Note9 from Cambodia?
While In Indonesia you'll get free Samsung TV, in India you'll get a discount for smartwatch.

Give it some time to develop futher,shall we? :D and it is nothing to be amazed yet!

              If Samsung allow users control selective apps not running in background especially facebook. I will consider samsung phone. 4000mAh is nothing when some apps sucking the power in backgrounds

                Having had most makes of phones apart from the recent Chinese brands, It seems to me that no matter how much I try other phones I always come back to Samsung and the Note series.

                I have had IPhones the 4 and 4s and the 6plus. Apple trap you into there ecosystem and after spending all that money you have to have the guts to stick 2 fingers up and say goodbye.

                Note 9 for me and the 512GB version in blue.

                The other funny thing I notice about Apple phone users is that they always seem to choose stupid Xylophone ringtone, For people who always say Apple innovates it's a pity there users are not that innovative!

                  iKashif, 13 Aug 2018A great and best device to buy except one feature is missin... moreThat will be next year for sure. Along with 7nm soc with ultra Euv advanced process to make then. And probably 4k.
                  Next after that will be 5nm euv chips and graphene batteries that have over 40%capacity for same density and charge 5x faster. As well as being safer and longer life span.
                  And larger sensor cameras hopefully

                    A great and best device to buy except one feature is missing. Front fingerprint sensor. Once Samsung figures out the under the display fingerprint reader, I'll definitely buy one.

                        You do realize that under heavily load and for efficiency the s845 will actually be better right?
                        Apple chips are just better for bursts but throttle more heavily.

Security Updates & OS... moreYeah, faster updates that add useful features like slowing down your 'older than current generation' phone's processor from its max frequency/speed, that too without your consent or having any intention of telling before being caught with their pants down by benchmarks, cutting edge hardware like putting mediocre capacity batteries in phones, make it next to impossible to be replaced by users or third party repairers and then whine about how Li ion batteries are the reason for your phone's gradual slow down(which they pretend to be doing with benign reason such as consumer's interest, at heart), bricking third party repaired iPhones after update, removing all useful things one by one, headphone jack or the fingerprint sensor and then selling the bullshit in the name of innovation.... cutting edge features like adding fast wireless charging ,waterproofing or fast charging years after entire world has moved onto it and then charging extra 50$ for the fast charging adapter which is sold separately..... the list of their crap goes on... A true flagship phone for the flagship quality idiots who buy into the horseshit hype and marketing gimmicks....
