In the bezeless era Samsung makes the bezels thicker over its own last gen.
Shame on you Samsung. You just made this phone unusable by making it too tall/unpocketable

One Plus = no sd card, no ip rating, no stereo sp... moreWhile Galaxy Note 9 has:
-The world most color accurate 3K HDR AMOLED panel which is perfectly calibrated to all sRGB, Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces
-HD 480fps/960fps super slowmo with predictive capture + FHD 240fps regular slowmo + 4K 60fps very well stabilised HDR video recording capability
-Video Enhancer which upscales SDR video to near-HDR level of saturation and brightness
-A headphone jack with integrated high quality Cirrus Logic DAC
-4000mAh battery which lasts the full day no matter how you use it
Note 9 comes with just as much as marketing buzzwords as XZ2 Premium does, but the difference here is that Note 9 actually delivers them in practical forms which people can actually see the differences, while XZ2 Premium just throw them around all over the place to create massive hype and end up being a disappointment due to its features being too niche to average consumer/unnecessary. Now, does your XZ2 Premium have any of those features? Nope.

One Plus = no sd card, no ip rating, no stereo speakers, cheap midrange screen, useless 2nd camera, no HDR screen, no hdr recording
Huawei = old cpu, weak video skills, no BT 5.0, no 4K stabilization
If you hate Sony it is okay, do not say there is nothing new.
I doubt your phone has 4K HDR screen with BT 2020 support, 4K HDR recording, sdr to hdr video playback, high res audio, qnovo 960fps Full HD.

Droidtard, 21 Aug 2018Not really. It didn't even have Android 9 Pie out-of-the-bo... moreNope, you're wrong. All Opinions, reviewers, specifications and facts, point to the Note9 being the most complete phone of all time, until now.
You just pointed out the 1% of objective drawbacks it has, compared to the 99% of good features. Those are minor niggles not deal-breakers. Like, I said no phone is 100% perfection.
There are no phones with Android 9.0 out of the box. Not even Google-released ones. So that point is redundant.
Design is tick-tock model. One year you update the design, next year you refine it. This year is evolution, next is revolution. It's a known model. And to begin with, the Note8 design was pretty great with minimal bezels yet no ugly notch.
People are going to complain about the FP position no matter what. Last year, they complained it was too high & off-center, so Samsung listened and put if below & center. Samsung listens to customers unlike Apple, who remove the FP scanner altogether from the iPhone X.
It's not the same camera as last year. It has dual aperture F1.5 - F2.4. That's the lowest aperture in the market - F1.5. Awesome for night-time shots, as it lets in more light, without needing long exposures. The telephoto cam has a larger sensor too. And don't forget the best solution for recording slo-mo videos.

Hi GSMArena Team,
The way I can see battery endurance chart for all phones is really great. That makes it really easy for me to look at once and see the results. I just want to know, like to samsung galaxy note 9 you have given 4.7 rating, Is there a way I can see the ratings chart for all phones at once. Also I want to know which phone has got the highest rating from you so far.. Please help.. I really go with your reviews before buying any phone.
Thanks!!

Pixel 3 XL will be an auto pass for many users including me also if they make a display with fugly notch,they should think of something and stop becoming a lazy-ass,trend follower (which is the fugly trend)

BrokenLawShaw, 20 Aug 2018Best phone money can buy on the planet. PERIOD!Having same camera processing for 2 years now, same design for at least one year, having in house made motherboards or camera sensors copying Snapdragons, Sony's battery design and camera IMX sensors and still do you think it's innovation do you think it makes it best buy on the planet? Geez, some guys are crazy and some stars are blind!
