Galaxy Note9 vs. OnePlus 6: Is more actually better? By Android Police

All right so here we have the 1 plus 6 and the Galaxy Note 9 easily two of the best smartphones of 2018. If I were to keep things short and sweet, I would just say: well, you can't go wrong with either phone and while that may be the case, there are a lot of tech enthusiasts out there opting to go for the one plus six over the note I'll, be it a good number of us finding the note nines hefty price tag to be worth it and, to be honest, there's good reason for that. So is the note 9 really worth that much more over the 1 plus 6. First off, you got to understand what you're getting for your money here had $1000 the note 9 comes with a ton of both hardware and software features, a lot of which the OnePlus X cannot say. It has a super high-res Nautilus display fast wireless charging and ip68 rating stereo speakers, a massive battery tons of storage, the s-pen there Samsung pay. The list goes on great features, but the reason why a lot of people love the 6 is different from why people love the note.

It's the pure spotless, lightning-fast user experience that can't be matched by many pretty much everything the OnePlus 6 does is very snappy. The fingerprint reader face unlock the software itself is light on its feet. The camera is quick and even charging. The phone is incredibly fast. ?, thanks to ? charge pair that with a cleaner, UI, faster software updates and a price tag that starts at a little over 500 bucks.

You've got a phone that'll be enough for a lot of people. It's the perfect one for those that prefer a lighter, more simplistic, minimal, bare-bones II wax. Now these two phones are actually similar in a few ways. They both have the same CPU and GPU same amount of RAM in their base model. So they perform very well with things like gaming, multitasking, RAM management.

They both have headphone jacks. They both have dual cameras on the back, and they even have similar premium hardware in terms of materials and, surprisingly enough, the similarities continue in the camera category. Now, yes, the Galaxy Note 9s cameras are better across the board. However, you can argue that they're not $500 better than the sixes cameras. In fact, there are some instances where the six will come out with the better looking shot to show just how close the results are.

Why not give it a go with a blind test now before I get to this blind test? I wanted to give a shout-out to nor the VPN who were awesome enough to sponsor this video.

Let me know which phone took what shot and which shots you liked better after you do that check out the description where I reveal the answers and no cheating, as is the case with most smartphone comparisons. It'll all boil down to personal preference, which feature set fits the user best. The two are undoubtedly indifferent, smartphone tears, but the gap between specifically these two is closer than you might think.

You can definitely see where OnePlus cut corners to keep the price where it is. The 1080p display the inferior vibration motor, the not-so-great single bottom firing speaker, the lack of wireless charging, expandable storage and a proper IP rating. It can't record stereo audio and things like that, but the thing is not. Everyone is in dire need for those features, and it's without those features that this phone has managed to win over the hearts of tech enthusiasts everywhere: I love, the 1 plus 6 and what it has to offer the user experience is fantastic. I love the speed.

The cameras are nice, I love the minimalistic approach, it's one of my favorite phones, however I just can't pull myself away. From my note, 9 I'm, a lover of large phones. The display is phenomenal. The battery life is insane I love the stereo speakers, I've got more storage and I actually used the s-pen when I use the OnePlus 6 I miss what I get with the note 9 and the reverse does not hold true, and really you can argue that the note 9 is the best smartphone out there. All things considered, but the one plus 6 is proof that brand name, the price and the spec sheet do not entirely determine if the phone is automatically deep better by for every single user out there, even if the price tag is justified.

When it comes to recommending one of these phones to general consumers, I'd say take a look at the Galaxy Note, 9 check out all of its features and see if you can stomach the price based on what you've experienced then after that see, if the OnePlus six can meet your needs, if it can- and you find yourself happy with what it can give- you go for it and walk away with that extra $500 in your pocket. Neither of these phones is one-size-fits-all different people, different use cases, different opinions and preferences and I want you, as always, to drop your thoughts down below in the comments, and we'll talk about it.
