Pricey, Too big for some hands, Not everyone needs a stylus
Samsung's phones, with the exception of the Note 7, have grown better pretty consistently. The design isn't wildly different from the last few Note handsets, or Galaxy S, for that matter. But this is a highly evolved design, matching in-hand comfort with...
The phone comes with its own stylus called the S Pen, it lets you draw and take notes on the smartphone's screen, The camera takes some great shots, even in low light - it identifies parts of the photo such as the sky or people and tweaks the colour to ma
Display suffers from fingerprint marks and the screen is hard to see in bright light, Squared-off design can be uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time
It may be expensive but this large screen smartphone pretty much has it all. It's fast and has great battery life. We think it's worth every penny.Overall Score: 89/100RATINGS:Ease of use: 5/5Design: 4.5/5Performance: 4.5/5Instructions: 4/5WE LIKEDThe pho...
Excellent display, Great camera performance in low-light, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, Fantastic battery life
So many features you'll likely never find, Expensive, Bixby button can no longer be redirected, S9+ may suit more casual users
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a catalogue of successes. With a premium build, an absolutely excellent screen, a mature software experience, great cameras, all the power you could possibly need, excellent battery life and fabulous AKG-tuned speakers, there'...
While, for a brief time, we were unable to discern much difference between the Note 9 and its predecessor, Samsung's latest flagship does offer some decent upgrades; from its improved internals and bigger screen to its new-and-improved S Pen and camera tw...

good battery, impressive screen, water resistant, brilliant camera, Bluetooth S Pen, microSD card slot, wireless charging, lasting performance, DeX without the dock, headphone jack
only Android 8.1, expensive, very big for hands and pockets, fingerprint scanner should be lower down the back, Bixby still not good enough
If you need your phone to be able to do just about anything, the Note 9 is it. It has everything and the kitchen sink wrapped up into a massive powerhouse of a phone.As you might expect that comes with a few compromises, the biggest of which is the sheer...

Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy Note has been the poster child for smartphone excess since the big-handed product series' inception in 2011. Clearly inspiring both Apple's hot iPhone 'Plus' range and the not-so-hot Pencil, when it comes to innovation this latest iterati...

Beautiful 6.4-inch Infinity Display, Great camera, even in low-light, Battery and storage last and last
Very Expensive, Not much innovation, No HDR video recording
The Note 9 is the best smartphone that money can buy. Unfortunately, it's going to take all of your money to buy it (or at least more than you're likely budgeting for a smartphone purchase this year).The iPhone X drove prices to this level, and we complai...

4,000mAh battery is only competitive, not standout, Bixby AI assistant is still definitely a work in progress, Expensive, even for the entry model
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is the best Android smartphone in the world.With the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 picture now fully viewable, I feel we are left with a device that, without doubt, is the best Android smartphone in the world right now and, technically a...
