Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs OnePlus 7 Pro By Shane Symonds

So I think the Galaxy Note nine and the one plus seven pro are two of the best phones on the market right now for a premium, smartphone experience without a premium smartphone price tag, but they each provide unique advantages which can make it difficult to decide between the two. If you're looking to pick up one of these phones right now in this video, we're going to put these two devices head-to-head, but also take a little extra time to talk about the 1 + 7 Pro, because I was surprised to see how many of my viewers didn't know about the 1 + 7 Pro, as it made appearances in my other videos as it's late with all that said, let's get started so starting off with the biggest part of these phones, their screens. Now, there's absolutely nothing bad to say at all about the note 96.4 inch AMOLED display. In fact, it is still preferred by many consumers, considering it's currently one of the few premium smartphones left on the market without any notches or hole punches in the display. But the OnePlus is six point. Seven inches bezel as screen takes the crown here.

It is honestly the best display you can get right now after a month and a half of usage I am still amazed by it every day and going back to other phones, just doesn't compare when you factor in the seven pros ninety Hertz display, which makes everything you see in do on the phone faster and smoother now battery life, both of these phones pack, a 4000 William battery inside, which simply means they have a lot of battery and will provide all-day battery life. No matter how heavily you use your device, I think it's funny when the note 9 was released. The four thousand William hour battery was praised. It was one of its main selling points at the phone and I personally was amazed to see how much more battery life I got out of my note, 9 compared to the iPhone 8 plus I just had before it, which already had good battery, but shortly after the release of the 7 Pro, the narrative had changed to oh, the 7 Pro only has a four thousand William hour battery. That's not good enough, and yes, the slightly larger screen and faster refresh rate of the 7 Pro has the potential to drain your battery a bit more than the note 9.

But after overall day-to-day usage, it has showed me that the battery life on both of these devices is excellent. If your heavy phone user like myself and need to quickly top off your battery before heading out at night, or you didn't charge your phone the night before it is nice, knowing that both of these devices will keep you going with their fast charging capabilities. The seventh Pro does charge a bit faster, dividing around 45 percent charge after 20 minutes and the note 9 38 percent after 30 minutes, but with real-life users in mind. You will not regret going with the note 9, even if it gives a few less percentage points when in a time crunch for charging form factor the form factors of these devices are very similar. But there are a few things worth mentioning here, starting with the buttons I really like what OnePlus is done with their volume rocker.

It is very easy to identify with the bumpy texture and I prefer this over something like the iPhones up and down volume. Silencer may be difficult to access if you're using a case, the power button lies a bit lower on the 7 pro than on the note 9, which I appreciate with how tall these phones are. Looking at the note 9 now, I am honestly not a huge fan of the Bigamy button. It's in a perfect place to be accidentally pressed and while, yes, you can now remap it to open any application, you want other than Bixby I would just prefer this to not be here at all. The OnePlus 7 pro has a pop-up front-facing camera to achieve its bedless display and, while I felt uncertain about this pop-up mechanism at first I have gotten comfortable with it.

It knows when to pop up, and it knows when to close itself personally, I will gladly deal with a pop-up camera in exchange for additional screen real estate. Now, when it comes to unlocking your phone and getting into your device quickly, I'm going to say it is a tie between the 7, Pro and node 9, even though the note 9 offers more unlocking options with the addition of an iris scanner and face recognition, the fingerprint scanner is going to provide the fastest and most consistent access into your phone, and this is very quick on both devices. It is a bit different on the 7 Pro, with it being an in display fingerprint sensor, opposed to the reader being on the back of the note 9, but overall I don't think this is a major deciding factor if you're trying to choose between these two devices, both the 7, Pro and note 9 have dual speaker setups, which is a must-have for me for all the YouTube that I watch and music I listen to from my phone. The sound quality is good on both of these phones and gets loud enough for smartphone speakers. I did test these side-by-side in my 7 pro review.

But honestly, you can't tell much of a difference through the recording just know that you won't be disappointed here on either phone now. I can't go without mentioning that a headphone jack is present on the note 9 but missing on the 7 Pro, while the lack of one is not a deal-breaker for me personally, as a Galaxy Buds and Bluetooth, headphone user I think the majority of consumers still use wired headphones over their wireless counterparts and I would have given one plus a pass here if they had at least provided a pair of wired earbuds straight out of the box to plug into the type C port. But instead they give you nothing and want you to buy they're wired, Type, C earbuds from their website for twenty-five dollars or pay more for their $99 wireless earbuds. A lot of consumers at the bare minimum just want something to plug into their phone. That works regardless of audio quality or wires, and the note 9 does come with a basic pair of earbuds, as will the upcoming Note 10.

Despite Samsung's efforts to market and sell a wireless earbud, their own with the Galaxy Buds, just include something one plus anything in the box cameras. Now when it comes to cameras on smartphones in general, I think phones, with the best point-and-shoot capabilities make for the best camera experience. This is something I have always enjoyed on iPhone. For example, when I take out an iPhone for a shot. I know it is always going to be reliable and of high quality.

So when I recently took my now fianc? up in a helicopter to propose I had to choose which device I wanted to capture the moment with, and my normal thought process took me right to iPhone, but instead I opted for the 7 pro, as OnePlus has been working hard on several updates since release and one of those had improved camera quality. Now I am no expert in photography, but I certainly was not disappointed with the results. A lot of these photos came out really well and being able to take wide-angle landscape. Shots is a very nice bonus over the note.9 I also took the OnePlus out for some everyday shooting and was pleased overall and at this point, I will show a few side-by-side shots between the 7 Pro and note 9. For those wondering how that looks when it comes to general usability of the phones.

Both of these devices provide an excellent user experience, although I view them a bit differently. The oxygen OS on the OnePlus 7 Pro provides a smooth and buttery stock Android experience and gives the feeling of an extremely reliable OS with no stutters or hiccups. It reminds me of iOS and if you're, an iPhone user looking to switch over to Android I would wholeheartedly recommend the 7 Pro, because this the note nines 1ui, does also provide a simplistic user experience, but I feel like this phone, and this experience is more for those who want to tinker and adjust and customize their phone to the exact way they want. But with the 7 Pro I didn't want to touch or change anything, even though I could, because I was so happy and content with how smooth and clean everything feels with daily usage of the phone. Now I can't make a video on the note 9 without talking about the s-pen.

It is the reason you buy this phone after all, opposed to the galaxy s 9 or S 10, for example, after using the note 9 for an extended period of time and then switching to the 1 plus 7 Pro made me realize how much I used the s-pen as it didn't take long for me to stack up a bunch of little notes all over the place, which would have been written down and nicely organized on my note 9. Otherwise, while the pen may seem gimmicky at first glance, it is honestly what makes the note 9 such a unique device over any other smartphone on the market. So with all this said, is there a clear winner here honestly I? Don't think so? No, these are two premium devices with an acceptable price tag over their $1000 flagship counterparts and have a lot of going for them, but I think these phones would serve better to different types of users, which is why I made this video to begin with. The note 9 is for those who want to use their phone for everything they do in their lives. It gives you options and opportunities to make the most out of your purchase and devoted.

Note. Users know this all too well with the s-pen capabilities and the potential desktop replacement features of Samsung decks, but the OnePlus offers a premium phone which serves as a perfect device for a stock, Android experience and while lacking a few features when stacked up against the note 9, it still holds its ground with the superior screen and fast display married up with a clean OS.
