Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 features, price, specs and review. Is this shaping up to be the best phablet you can buy right now?

Battery lasts the day, comfortably ; Fantastic, huge display with no notch ; S Pen remains unique ; Samsung’s software has a number of handy features

The overall design of the S9 Plus is better ; Bixby button is an annoyance

Inside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 you’ll find a 4000mAh battery, a cell so large there are few other flagships devices housing a similarly sized unit – at least in Europe. It matches the battery size of the Huawei P20 Pro, and comfortably exceeds the...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review

When the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launched it was a little bigger, slightly more colorful, a bit more powerful and pricier than prior Note phones, but be warned: it’s no longer the latest Note on the market. It's been superseded by the Samsung...

Beautiful 6.4-inch Infinity Display Superb camera, even in low light Battery and storage last and last Bluetooth S Pen shortcuts are fun

Expensive A lot of small upgrades No HDR video recording We hate the Bixby button

Bigger than previous Note phones in every way, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has a larger 6.4-inch screen, heftier 4,000mAh battery, and a massive 1TB of storage option. The already good camera is slightly better, the stereo speakers are a first for the...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: A sensational big-screen experience

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a catalogue of successes. With a premium build, an absolutely excellent screen, a mature software experience, great

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

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review

Bigger, bolder smarter - and now with a Bluetooth-packing S-Pen

Great screen ; Top-notch performance ; Better than ever S-Pen ; Superb cameras

Battery life is only ok for its size

A near-perfect phone for true phone enthusiasts. If only the giant battery lasted a little longer

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: iPhone X rival is flawless but pricey

Samsung is bringing the fight to Apple, and the Galaxy Note 9 is a top-tier phablet worthy of recognition

Long-lasting battery life ; Excellent low-light camera performance ; New S Pen improvements

Very expensive ; Little on offer to warrant an upgrade

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 reaffirms the notion that, sadly, smartphone design is plateauing. Even with the introduction of fancy bezel-less 18:9 screens and dual-aperture cameras, phones in 2018 are prosaic, and neither minor camera improvements nor...

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 review: Hands on with Samsung's iPhone X rival

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has been revealed, and Samsung is bringing the fight straight to Apple

And that’s a real shame, because the Note 9 is an impressive smartphone in its own right. Equipped with all the flagship bells and whistles you’d come to expect from a pricey, top-end smartphone, the Note 9 is undeniably top of its class and it does...
