Samsung's Cosmic system Note telephones have dependably been about additional. More screen, more battery, more specs, more power, more highlights; on the off chance that you need a greater amount of something, the Note is the telephone to get. It's a telephone outlined and worked for the power client who won't agree to anything less.

The new Note 9 gives the most a greater amount of any Note telephone. It has the greatest screen, the speediest processor, the greatest battery, the biggest stockpiling, and the most highlights.

Furthermore, it likewise costs the most — the Note 9 begins at $1,000 and goes up to an eye-watering $1,250. It's effectively the most costly Samsung cell phone at any point sold in the US and the most costly Android telephone available at the present time. To get the most, you'll need to pay the most.

What the Note 9 doesn't offer is anything new — dissimilar to Note telephones of earlier years, it doesn't make a big appearance any new innovation or plan thoughts. It just takes everything that Samsung's been doing with the previous couple of renditions of its telephones and turns everything up an indent.

I don't think this absence of new stuff is essentially an awful thing — the Note 9 is the best telephone Samsung has ever constructed and ostensibly the best Android telephone you can purchase at this moment. Yet, it's not for everybody.

The Note 9 doesn't appear to be much unique from the Note 8. It has a similar generally speaking outline, with bended glass on the front and back, and a metal edge. The glass isn't as bended as on the System S9, and it has squarer corners, which gives the Note 9 a bigger impression than Samsung's different telephones. This is a major telephone, and there's no way to avoid it: on the off chance that you don't care for larger than average telephones or need something that can be utilized in one hand, this isn't the gadget for you. In any case, it's exceptionally well made and feels as premium as a $1,000 telephone should.

One acknowledged change from the Note 8 is the position of the back unique finger impression scanner. Rather than being up close to the camera, it's currently underneath it, which makes it significantly less demanding to reach with your forefinger. But since the Note 9 is such a vast telephone, it will in any case be difficult to hit for those with littler hands.



The primary piece of more you get with the Note 9 is more screen: the 6.4-inch board is bigger than any screen on a premium Samsung telephone before it. It's solitary a smidge greater than the Note 8's 6.3-inch board, however Samsung could contract the bezels above and underneath the screen considerably further, so the Note 9 isn't genuinely bigger than a year ago's telephone, regardless of its greater show. It additionally doesn't have a score or pattern at the highest point of the show, which avoids the pattern of telephone outline this year and is certain to fulfill a few people.

The show itself is precisely what we've generally expected from Samsung: it's a splendid, beautiful, pixel-thick OLED board with profound blacks and extraordinary review points. It's effortlessly the best screen accessible on a cell phone at the present time and is only exquisite to take a gander at, inside or out.


GALAXY NOTE 9 SPECS

  • 6.4-inch quad HD OLED display
  • Snapdragon 845 processor with 6 / 8GB RAM
  • 128 / 512GB storage with microSD support
  • 4,000mAh battery with wired and wireless fast charging
  • Dual 12-megapixel rear camera with OIS and switchable aperture
  • 8-megapixel front camera with autofocus
  • Gigabit LTE Cat. 18
  • Iris, facial, and fingerprint biometric authentication
  • Android 8.1 Oreo


Inside, the Note 9 has more stockpiling than some other Samsung telephone: the base model offers 128GB of space, while the more costly form has an incredible 512GB. The two forms have microSD card spaces, so you can get up to a full terabyte of capacity on your telephone in case you're willing to pay for it. It's likewise significant that Samsung is putting forth twice as much stockpiling as the iPhone X at each value point.

In any case, the most imperative piece of more you get with the Note 9 is more battery life. At 4,000mAh, the Note 9's battery is the greatest the line has ever had, and the biggest battery you can get in a Samsung telephone. That is 500mAh greater than the battery in the S9 In addition to and an entire 700mAh bigger than the one in a year ago's Note 8. It's additionally greater than the battery in Google's Pixel 2 XL, LG's V35, HTC's U12 In addition, the iPhone 8 Or more, or fundamentally some other telephone you can think about that is available to be purchased in the US at the present time.

That converts into genuine, throughout the day battery life, notwithstanding for the heaviest of clients that gaze at their telephones throughout the day. I'm one of those clients and the Note 9 has possessed the capacity to give me somewhere in the range of six and seven long stretches of on-screen time with my commonplace work process, which is impressively more than I get with other contemporary gadgets. In the week or so I've been utilizing the Note as my essential telephone, there hasn't been a solitary day where the battery didn't last from the plain minute I woke up to the point I went to bed around evening time. On the off chance that there's a solitary motivation to legitimize the Note 9's cost and size, battery life is it.

The Note 9 is unmistakably focused to the individual who utilizes their telephone more than normal, yet in the event that you are a lighter client, I could without much of a stretch see the telephone enduring two or possibly three days between charges. When it comes time to energize, the Note 9 underpins both quick wired and quick remote charging, as most Samsung telephones have for as far back as couple of years. I would have gotten a kick out of the chance to see Samsung enhance the wired charging speeds this time around, particularly since the battery is such a great amount of bigger on the Note 9, however I don't figure the vast majority will have an issue with how quick you can energize the battery.

Like for all intents and purposes each other lead Android telephone this year, including Samsung's own particular World S9 and S9 Also, the Note 9 utilizes Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor. It's matched with either 6GB (in the passage show) or 8GB (in the $1,250 form) of Slam and it has performed faultlessly in the time I've been utilizing the telephone. The Note 9 is exceptionally smart and responsive, even in the section level model I've been trying for this survey, and I haven't experienced any issues with unevenness, slack, or stammering while looking over. Applications open rapidly and exchanging between a bundle of various applications is a breeze. Be that as it may, it's not surprisingly superior to anything some other leader telephone I've utilized for the current year, since a large portion of them are utilizing a similar processor. You can get a similar level of execution from an OnePlus 6, which costs a large portion of the cost of the Note 9.

Another likeness the Note 9 imparts to the Universe S9 In addition to is its camera framework. The back camera is a double 12-megapixel framework, with a wide-point focal point with switchable gaps and a zooming focal point for zooming in nearer regarding your matter or making representation obscure impacts. The front camera has 8 megapixels of goals and self-adjust. Since it's essentially indistinguishable camera stage from the S9 Furthermore, pictures from the Note 9 are obviously fundamentally the same as those from the S9. They are sharp and dynamic, with incredible low-light execution. Self-adjust is lightning fast and there are a lot of modes in the camera application for different impacts and video shooting. The Samsung cameras are unquestionably among as well as can be expected get at this moment, and it truly boils down to individual inclination, regardless of whether you like the manner in which the pictures look contrasted with Google or Apple's cameras.

The Note 9's camera application has a few new highlights, embracing a portion of the auto scene-distinguishing AI highlights different telephones have dispatched with this year. Point it at something and it will attempt to distinguish what that protest is and advance the camera settings for it. Samsung says the camera can perceive 20 unique sorts of scenes, including sustenance, pictures, pets, scenes, shorelines, dawns and nightfalls, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. In my tests, it completed a great job distinguishing creatures, sustenance, and plants, and it did as such faster than different telephones with comparative highlights. Be that as it may, I didn't see a lot of a distinction in the pictures after it had purportedly enhanced them.

I appreciated the other new element in the camera application, which gives you a notice if the last picture you took may be hazy or the individual in it flickered, so you can take it once more.



The Note 9 separates itself a little from the S9 line with its S Pen stylus. Like each Note telephone before it, you can utilize the Note 9's stylus to scribble down notes, doodle, or explore the telephone's interface. The new element this year is the capacity to utilize the catch on it as a remote to snap a photo, avoid a track in a music player, or propel a slide in an introduction. It's perfect, yet as somebody who's never extremely discovered much use for the S Pen, it isn't something that I discovered exceptionally valuable. There are S Pen diehards out there who may welcome these highlights, however — you most likely definitely know in case you're one of them.

The Note 9 likewise conveys a few enhancements to Samsung's DeX highlight, which gives you a chance to connect the telephone to a PC screen and utilize it like a personal computer. Rather than requiring an exceptional dock, you can stack DeX with a straightforward USB-C to HDMI connector on the Note 9, which makes it somewhat less demanding to get up and running than with a S9. The Note 9 can be utilized as a trackpad when it's connected to a bigger screen, or you can doodle on it with the S Pen and have your illustrations appear on the extra large screen.

Be that as it may, DeX is still DeX, and to truly make the most use out of it, not exclusively do you require an outside show, you'll require a console and mouse, as well, in light of the fact that the Note 9's trackpad include is somewhat awful. Utilizing DeX, even with all the previously mentioned adornments, is still moderate, awkward, and baffling, with application contrary qualities and bottlenecks. I compare it to drinking a milkshake through an espresso stirrer: you'll get some milkshake in the long run, yet you'll likewise get baffled and wind up with a migraine. By then, you should simply utilize a workstation like every other person

Samsung's other programming bogeymen are available on the Note 9, as well. It's running Android 8.1 Oreo, however there's zero sign when it may get Android 9 Pie, which was openly discharged for Google's telephones not long ago. There are still heaps of pointless copy applications, even on the opened model I've been utilizing, so out of the container there are two internet browsers, two email applications, two photograph displays, et cetera.

What's more, there's Bixby, Samsung's oft-censured voice partner. The Note 9 has a redone variant of Bixby, with a balanced UI and more profound integrati
