Samsung Galaxy Note9

Absolutly Wonderful. I upgraded from a Note 4 with a 10,000Mah ZeroLemon battery. I loved the phone, it was brick/Tank. and really wasn't ready to upgrade. But the Note 4 was slowing down a lot. Even after multiple Factory resets and all, it seemed like the phone updates caused the phone to be almost unusable. My whole family of 4 all had the same issues same Note 4. So we all bought new Note 9 Phones and got Unlocked versions so we can use them in Alaska with native carriers during our future vacation. I didnt have alot of hope that the note 9 with a Small 4,000Mah battery would be able to get me thru the day. Using it for Music, 5 emails, eBay (Buying and Selling), Consistent Picture taking, and even a Bar-code scanner that i use for product scanning. Well to my surprise the frist few weeks i always had 40% left . While i have had it for quite a while i now play games on it, as its fun and so fast for games. The battery JUST makes it thru out the entire day with out charging. I think i will add a battery case to it in the future. But im absolute happy with my phone purchase. The bigest difference was Battery life, weight, form factor, speed. I was expecting more out of the camera, such as a wider camera view. But i will say the note 9 camera Does AMAZING at night time or lightly lite rooms. Takes amazing pictures there. The selfie camera is also better.

Great phone. Very impressive features. You can have 2 audio sources less one person plugged into headphones and maybe another person connected with bluetooth headphones and both people can be listening to different music. S-Pen is super useful. I like being able to draw a box around some text, even if text is actually part of a graphic image, then have the OCR convert it to real text and place it on the clipboard for easy pasting into another app. Easy to use 2 apps at once in window/split screen mode due to the very large display. Makes me way more productive. Connect a USB-C to HDMI cable and it goes into Dex mode and acts like a real computer with real desktop experience just like Microsoft Windows. Plus, can still use the phone as a phone while it's also acting like a real computer attached to TV or computer monitor. Or use the phone itself as the touchpad mouse and keyboard. That's really impressive. So much more. Currently, the best, most powerful phone out there. But probably not for too much longer (at least until the Note 10). I would give this phone 10 stars if I could. Nice long battery life too with it's 4000 mA battery. Can go days without charging if I wanted to. Beautiful screen, great camera, so much greatness in one device. Looking forward to Android Pie and Samsung UI One on it for even more features, which should be getting the update any day now (hopefully).

For what is an older product version (Note 9, dual sim) the battery life is fantastic, straight out of the box. The Note 9 was the last of the fingerprint on the back models that simply works with no hassle. Down-versioning from the Note 10 to the Note 9 was a gamble well worth it. The stereo speakers, weight, and performance is great. Also, the cameras aesthetics on the back of the phone are perfect (the phone doesn't look like some strange multi-eyed alien), with no apparent trade-off of photo quality either. I look forward to the future models (c. late 2022+) Samsung phone line, but until then, I have found my safe and comfortable harbor with the Note 9 dual sim. I maintain a local and international set of mobile numbers for personal and business. The dual sim version is great for this. Yes, with later models with eSim you can achieve the same outcome, but for stated reasons above, I am waiting until it is worth upgrading again.

SO far, so good. I've had the phone for all of about 2 hours and I was immediately impressed with the fact that it was A)brand new in original box and B) connected to the T-Mobile network without an issue. I updated it and went through installing my apps without issue. Phone is very impressive. Pros: Perfect size for my large hands Fast Perfect condition Android 9 preinstalled Wireless Charging HEADPHONE JACK! Cons: 1 item of note here; there seems to be a slight problem with the touchscreen in the lower left corner of the screen not receiving my finger input on the first try. I installed a screen protector and thought that may be the issue but it seems to be there even with the protector off. I am hoping it is simply me and nothing to do with the phone...stay tuned.

The best parts so far have been the bluetooth S spen, which allows you to operate certain functions without touching the pen to the phone, and the GREAT battery life. I'm always taking pictures, surfing the internet, and playing games on my phone, this is the first one in years that has been able to keep up. The glass is super delicate, if you want it to last, get a quality screen protector and case and put them on IMMEDIATELY. There are a LOT of cool little features, so if you're buying secondhand, check the web or order a booklet. It's worth it. I love the detail I'm able to achieve when editing photos because of the S Pen. Also, the phone alerts you if it seems like you forgot your S Pen somewhere!!

I purchased the phone based on its productivity value. 512 gb of memory makes that I do not face issues of running out of space. I use the s pen to edit documents on the go. The camera is powerful. Note 9 got the UI 2.5 update with wireless dex to give a desktop experience. And added to that, the exterior is flawless and beautiful. The only downside as a note 4 user is the absence of the removable battery which can be very helpful in certain situations. But overall, the phone is great and comes at a very competitive price if you do not want to spend outrageous amount on the newer notes for almost the same capacities if not lesser in certain cases.

I studied and compared different phones for quiet some time looking for what would work for me, and I'm very happy with my choice in this Samsung's Note 9 ! Its slim, big but not so big I can't put in my pocket, or as big as the Note 11 , is not a wireless charge, charges fast and holds a good charge throughout out the entire day, and I like using it alot! These things are important to me, plus great camera pics, has the Samsung assistant that does it all for you! A Note is a computer in your hand, if you've never owned on, you should check it out! Saved hundreds on the Note 9 !

This phone is great. There are so many features I'm still learning about it lol. Its only been 3 weeks so far but no problems with the function of the phone. I got lavender and it's absolutely beautiful. I love it. The stylus is a bonus. The only problem I've had is the brand new factory phone charger stopped working after 1 day! Never had that happen before. I had to go get another charger which I've done before with my other phones for various reasons, so not a deal breaker. It takes a while to charge too but for extra bucks I could get a super fast charger.

Not sure that I would say its better than expected I've had a Samsung 8 + for a couple years and really don't see a whole lot of difference with this phone except I do have a stylus which I missed a lot and am enjoying. wish I had the instruction booklet that goes with it, I learn better when I am reading then just experimenting on my own Not sure if something's wrong with it or if this is normally how it works when new. it's in great shape no scratches no cracks or any issues at all physically; my real concern is just the battery issues.

Pros: - The display is crisp & clear - Speaker is loud and clear - Good battery life - 512 GB internal memory + accepts up to a 512 GB microSDHC card, AWESOME! Cons: - The slightly narrower width than the Note3 makes it look tall & skinny, and tiny bit awkward to hang onto when you're working with both hands. - I don't care for the way you have to focus the camera, then hit a separate button to take a photo. I need to download the manual and read about that.

Great phone! Friendly to use, my fault for not looking at the size, I prefer a smaller phone, it's the size of an iPhone 10X. I'm having issues since I got it. The lock screen can not be unlocked with out trying to swipe over 20 times. Once I got it opened, I tried face recognition and iris recognition but that did n't work either because you have to swipe to get off your screen lock to get to the verification process, that makes no sense to me. Answering the phone was the exact same problem, swipe up, down side to side, tap punch whatever and I could not answer my phone, how frustrating. I finally got past that and set my phone up so there is no lock screen, no protection at all, and I found out how to change how I answer my phone, online and NOT through a Samsung site. My phone works great, but it has no protection from anyone at all picking it up and getting all my information off of it. Looks like a try a Google phone next time. Please be sure to buy the Square Trade warranty, it's in your own best interest, I'm not sure I'm keeping this phone with it's issues so thank goodness I have a year warranty.

This would have been one hell of a deal, if all the features worked as expected. Turns out buying a smart phone can be very challenging. This was advertised as Verizon/att unlocked. I took it to att for activation and they had a hell of a time getting it going. I spent a few hours with att tech support, and that was of little help. I don't have att voice mail and other att functions. That was days after I managed to get rid of the Verizon messages. Aside from all the hassle, in comparison to my Note 5, the Note 9 is definitely one amazing phone. Haven't been able to find a replacement att locked Note 9 anywhere near what I paid for this. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. Had it not been for the technical assistance I received from Gizmo trader to get this activated, I would have had to send this back.

Item is not new. The accessories are not genuine and also one of them was missing (the tweezer seen in the Samsung note devices to remove the s-pen pin). Ordered an ocean blue color phone, phone came in a box that's for the midnight black color phones.

Paid $200 for this to get it in better condition than the last ones I've bought. It finally gets here and the S pen doesn't connect! So it functions worse than the last. Disappointed.

It sound weird and it keep cut off while I'm talking with someone. I want to return it for a better phone..
