Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review By PhoneArena

Wouldn't believe it's been seven years since the original Samsung Galaxy Note was launched. That's a long time when you think about it, and through the years Samsung had its ups and downs. The thing about the note series was that it was always trying to set the bar really high for everyone else, and that's exactly what we're seeing again here, what this year's offering hey guys. It's John, be here with bone Rena, and this is a review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It's not that often Samsung recycles an old design, but that's now the case here with the note 9 now don't get us wrong. Furthermore, it's still incredibly well put together and features the premium glass meets metal, design, language that we know and love our particular model sports.

The new ocean blue paint job with the yellow s-pen, which has a perfect contrast to it. Thankfully they finally moved the fingerprint sensor. It's now placed below the cameras, so it's a lot more accessible. So what we're cycle designs are nothing new. What's really remarkable.

Here, though, is just the level of engineering put into the phone. Quite frankly, there are no compromises here. You have a phone that features a headphone jack, there's no notch with the display. It has a heart rate, sensor: iris scanner, dual speakers now that's a lot of stuff thrown into design, which also has an IP 68 rating, and that's really impressive, speak of the s-pen. They really focus on it here with the note 9, it now packs Bluetooth LE, which adds a new element of experience, because it's now an extension of the phone, you could basically use it to remotely snap photos.

You can navigate through a slideshow presentation, and it even gives us access to some media. Playback functions, they're all useful and whatnot, but some users may feel that they're all novel. For me, though, it's still a valuable tool in mimicking that paper and pen experience, and you know what I don't know what other phone makes it really convenient when it comes to signing documents digitally. Let me just say that the display here is really sharp, and it's really good-looking but exhibits pretty much the same qualities as the note 8. It's a six point.

Four-inch quad HD plus Super AMOLED display, which is a tad bit larger, but it's 6,400, Kelvin color temperature, and its color accuracy are identical to notate, but I did find out that it's brightness output has increased to 575 nits, so it is technically brighter. You could all year, that's pretty much the same to display as before, but for me, it's still a gorgeous looking one, especially when you watch HDR videos on YouTube, because it does add a little of pop thanks to the video enhancer mode at the Box. It's running Samsung's experience on top of Android 8.1 Oreo, but I presume it's going to get upgraded to Android Pi in the future. On a surface, the experience doesn't differ at all from what we've seen already with the s9 and s9 plus, but that's not a bad thing, because it's meant for power and productivity users. It's very rich in this area, which may sit far more versatile versus other competing experiences.

However, they did add a few new enhancements to the experience that I'm gonna talk about really quick right now. The first ones, of course, is the s-pen which I already talked about, so you have that going for the note 9. Secondly, there's the enhanced Bigamy service at our disposal, offering even more functionality and intelligent actions from voice commands and last thing here, is that you no longer need a deck station or pad to access the phone's desktop like experience. All you need now is just a simple USB type-c to HDMI, adapter and voil?. You'll have access to that.

Like I said already. The experience here with the note 9 doesn't really introduce anything particularly new, but then again no other phone offers the same level utility when it comes to getting stuff done. It'll be basically two versions of the note 9 one: that's running the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip key and the US, while the global version will be running Samsung's own Enos, 98 10, and they both start with 6 gigabytes of RAM. Predictably, so it runs really fast and responsive. It could handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

Even gaming is handled really well by denote 9. An hour unit here, which is running 2x notes.9810 frame rates are really smooth, but we do notice that the phone gets a little toasty when playing games for a longer period of time. What I'm really happy about is that they've doubled distorting storage capacities now at 128 gigabytes of storage, which is great they'll, have another model, they'll have 512 gigabytes of memory and that one's going to be accompanied by 8 gigabytes of RAM, either way storage, not a problem, especially when there's expansion via the micros card slot. As for the cameras here in the no.9, it borrows several things from the s9 and s9 plus so breaks down to a main. Why 12 megapixel camera with that valuable aperture and the secondary cam is a telephoto one, and both cameras have optical image.

Stabilization. The shooting experience here is no different. Either you have a ton of modes to choose from, but the note line does introduce this new scene optimized mode, so basically it'll recognize the type of senior shooting and will tweak it for better results. So, what's the Pauling light, I have to say it's pretty stunning and impressive, especially when you're shooting on bright sunny days, because the camera captures stunning looking images of rich in detail, there's a great dynamic range and there's a little of a pop thanks to the sharpness, that's applied to photos under low-light situations. The variable aperture definitely helps here with note 9, just because when there's a strong contrast in the scene, it retains good details in the shadows, while also toning down the highlights to give the entire shot a very neutral exposure under extreme low-light situations, though the overall quality is a lot softer looking, but the front-facing 8 megapixel camera.

It does take some perfect shots for selfies. Details are good and has a relatively decent wide-angle shot. There is a selfie focus mode as well for that pro look, but we find that's a little aggressive since it often softens our face in the process over in the video side, it's a strong performer as well. It tops out at UHD resolution, so that's 3040 by 2160 at 60 frames per second and seriously. It's really incredible at how sharp looking it is, but there's good lighting the scene.

Furthermore, it takes some amazing looking videos rich in detail. Conversely, the kid looks significantly softer noisier and money looking in lower lighting situations, and we also appreciate the super slow motion mode- that's available here, because it shoots at 960 frames per second in 720p for some really exceptional. Looking slow-motion footage phone calls are handled relatively well by the phone conversations are pleasant, the earpiece exhibits natural tone voices, and it has enough volume to discern voices in noisy conditions. Our calls mention a hint of distortion on their end, but it's nothing too terrible. If you look very closely the chassis of the note, 9 is just a smidgen thicker than the note 8, but there's a reason for that, and that's because it features a larger fourth William hour battery in our benchmark test.

It reached 8 hours and 56 minutes from a full charge, which is a full hour longer than the note 8 it's more than able to handle our day-to-day use and by the night we typically found it at around the 35 percent level. Longevity is appreciated, as well as the quick recharge time of 109 minutes its fast, and it's made better knowing that there's wireless charging as well on the surface. There are several reasons why the note 9 is a fantastic device from the sharp photos captured by its camera to its long-lasting battery and all the pack features it's a smartphone that few others can compete against. However, this is the most expensive phone in the series to date with its starting price of $1,000. Well, it does improve upon its predecessor in many areas.

This isn't the revolutionary device we've been waiting for, don't get us wrong. We really push it all the new enhancements and features, but if you're a note, 8 owners, there's very little incentive on spending the extra money and upgrading now don't let that dissuade you if you're looking for a great performing smartphone to replace your aging one. The note 9 certainly has the convincing package to earn our recommendation, but it's more evolutionary than revolutionary. Frankly, when other manufacturers make excuses, why they can't do this or that Samsung Galaxy Note 9 shatters those expectations and makes the impossible possible, and that is it for this review guys.
