The article read: 6 461

Is it possible to believe in such popularity seven years ago, when Samsung introduced the first Galaxy Note Tabletphone? For the smartphone market, this is a whole eternity. Here one unsuccessful device can be a real catastrophe. This happened two years ago with Galaxy Note 7. Now it is in the past and samsung boldly offers a new model.

Galaxy Note 9 can be called the first announcement of the coming holidays of the end of the year. Such an honor means greater responsibility. Samsung sets the bar in front of its competitors. The Galaxy Note line was always at the height, so it should be this time.

However, the smartphone market always changes. The prices of them continue to grow, therefore the question of the value of price and quality is becoming increasingly. Now it is not enough to simply offer a new generation processor and increase the volume of the repository so that the device continues to buy.

Design

Samsung infrequently changes the appearance of his smartphones almost completely. And this time this did not happen. Galaxy Note 9 is almost no different from last year's Galaxy Note 8. No need to think that it is necessarily bad. The last apparatus was very beautiful and high-quality, the new one. It has premium appearance, glass and metal with curved edges. The blue version of the device with a yellow stylus is considered. Such contrast is unusual and it seems something new. Although spots and dirt are harvested on the glass, it is relatively easy to drop.

The dimensions of the device differs little from the predecessor. The smartphone has become a little wider and thicker. The location of the buttons and connector has not changed. Fortunately, Samsung listens to customer reviews, and moved the print scanner under the back chamber. Now it's easier to reach it.

Engineers paid close attention to the trifles. Nowadays, smartphones gradually refuse the headphone connector to have a place for other components. In Galaxy Note 9, there is a connector for headphones. There is also a heartbeat monitoring, an eye scanner of an eye, two speakers, a PEN stylus compartment and even wireless recharging. Not forgotten protection from water and dust IP68.

S Pen.

The Galaxy Note line would not be if the package did not enter the stylus s Pen. This year, this accessory pays particularly close attention. The appearance does not differ from last year's. In the hands, it felt like a real pencil or pen. Samsung added new functionality to it. Supported Bluetooth Low Energy Communication Standard, so that the stylus can be used as a remote control. With it, you can shoot photos, scroll through the image in the gallery and presentations, run video and music.

All this is done without touching the smartphone screen. It will be interesting to see what the use of stylus features will find the developers of third-party applications. For them, Samsung has released a set of development tools. The main purpose of the stylus remains in drawing and writing. If you have artistic talents, 4096 degrees of pressing can come very by way.

Screen

The screen differs little from the predecessor. The Super AMOLED panel rose 0.1 inches to 6.4 inches. The resolution is 1440 x 2960 pixels. Color Temperature Approximately 6400 K, high accuracy of color reproduction in the SRGB color range is ensured. These characteristics are almost identical, which means the highest quality.

The maximum brightness has grown to 575 NIT in the Adaptive display mode. The screen still remains very attractive for the eyes due to the high detail, saturated colors, wide viewing corners and deep black color. In the enhanced video mode, the picture becomes even more attractive as when watching video with HDR support on YouTube.

The bend on the sides of the screen has long been a distinctive feature of Samsung flagship smartphones. In this regard, there is nothing new here. The side panels still give quick access to various actions with a smartphone.

Interface

It is particularly nothing to speak here because everything remains still. The device works on Android 8.1, although it would be very good to see here Android Pie. The system is already distributed on Google Pixel smartphones, and Samsung would receive greater thanks to users if the device has released on it. The SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE sheath over Android does not differ from what is on and S9 +. The interface has a minimalistic appearance. By the traditions of Samsung, there are many additional features for advanced users. The smartphone is able to more other Android models, because it is aimed primarily at work.

Stylus S Pen makes some contribution to the differences between Android interface from other smartphones. It can be very useful when you must sign a PDF document, make a mark on the site fields, write a note on the screen, etc. The Bixby Assistant was updated, the functionality of which is gradually expanding. In particular, he fully understands voice teams.

To turn the smartphone to the computer disappeared the need to buy. Now it is enough to use the usual USB-C\u003e HDMI cable to access the desktop. In Russia, for this docking station you need to pay about 7,000 rubles, so to save this amount will be very by the way. Now you simply connect your smartphone to the monitor and keyboard cable and starts working as a computer.

Samsung has made changes to Ar Emoji, but this functionality is still a non-serious children's fun. She may look interesting in the first two minutes, but then bored.

In general, the Galaxy Note 9 interface plan does not bring anything revolutionary compared to Galaxy Note 8. However, it is not necessary to break what is not broken. No other smartphone has a similar level of practicality for work. With the help of the stylus, the functionality has become even wider.

Performance and memory

Naturally, the new smartphone receives the latest hardware components. The Russian version will use the SAMSUNG EXYNOS 9810 processor, in the United States Snapdragon 845. The review considers a version with a memory volume of 6/128 GB. The device works with applications with applications, and with a set immediately. His responsiveness at the level of other modern flagships, that is, it reacts to the actions of users very quickly.

In terms of gaming capabilities, this device also does not pick up. With any modern mobile games, he copes without difficulty. Benchmark show a favorable picture. In real games you will get a high frame rate and smooth operation. In many respects, thank for it costs a new liquid cooling system. Despite this, even she will not save the heating of the case, if playing for quite a long time.

The volume of the repository has grown from the previous 64 GB. In addition, you can install a memory card with a volume of up to 512 GB. The second version of the smartphone has an 8/512 GB memory configuration. Thus, the volume of storages on this smartphone can reach 1 TB. Surely you saw little computers with a similar value, and here so much data can be worn in your pocket.

Cameras

Smartphones often get the same cameras as their predecessors, with minor improvements. So happened and in the case of Galaxy Note 9. The double camera is once again applied, as in Galaxy Note 8. In addition, there is a variable aperture as in Galaxy S9. As a result, the combination turned out the same as on the model. The main camera is a wide-angle 12 MP with optical image stabilization and aperture F / 2.4 and F / 1.5. The latter importance is designed to improve the quality of the pictures with weak lighting. The second camera has telephoto lenses with a 2-fold zoom and also has an optical stabilization of the image. This will avoid shaking when you hold the device in your hands.

Working with the camera is kept just like on Galaxy S9 +. There are different modes of shooting, such as panorama, hyperlapse, slow, live focus, professional mode with manual settings. The only novelty was the optimization of scenes, where there are 20 different options. When the camera chooses one of them, it changes the settings. If you don't like the result, you can disable this mode.

Image quality

It can be said that the photos are stunning. If you frequently share snapshots on social networks or are a mobile photography enthusiast, Galaxy Note 9 is suitable for a variety of shooting scenarios. The device perfectly removes in bright sunny days, providing a wide dynamic range and the highest clarity. Even without a live focus mode, the natural level of the bokeh effect is impressive.

When the lighting is not the best, the variable aperture and snapshots are also good. The camera manifests itself well even with high contrast. Detailing of shadows is maintained, bright areas are sufficiently muffled to make a neutral exposure. When the lights are completely small, the aperture becomes F / 1.5 and the shutter speed is reduced to collect more light. Many smartphones experienced difficulties and photos in such conditions would be blurred, but on Note 9, the stabilization copes. Let the detailing is not so clear, but the photos are acceptable.

The front camera received an 8 megapixel resolution, as in Galaxy S9 and S9 +. The detailing here is also good, there are wide-angle lenses. This is more than enough not only for the filming of the face, but also the whole person at the distance of an elongated hand. Here, too, there is a waveform mode, but too aggressive. Often he blurs his face instead of the back plan. Quality is not so high as on Pixel 2.

Video quality

In terms of photography, everything is fine, in terms of the video is not worse. The maximum resolution of the record is 3840 x 2160 pixels at 60 FPS velocity. This means an incredible clear detailed video.

At such a speed, you should not shoot with weak lighting, since the image is blurred and digital noise appears. In this situation, it is better to go to 30 fps, the image will be better. Exposure will be improved, the detail will grow. You can control certain parameters in professional shooting mode, but not all of them can be changed during shooting. For example, ISO remains fixed. I would like Samsung to offer a real manual video shooting mode, as it happens in the LG V. smartphones.

As in the case of Galaxy S9, the new apparatus has an overtone video shooting at a speed of 960 FPS with a resolution of 720p. There may be interesting frames, but the details are blurred at the expense of low permission and the high ISO value is required. Standard slow motion is kept at 240 FPS speed with a resolution of 1080p. There is no restriction in the duration, so you do not need to try to accurately guess over time.

Multimedia

Due to the presence of double speakers, one of which is located near the USB-C, and the other in the telephone sink, users will receive stereo sound. The quality is good, the volume of 74.6 dB is not inferior to the Galaxy Note 8. There are smartphones with more powerful speakers, but here at least imperceptibly distortion and shrill sounds on the maximum volume.

More and more smartphones are deprived of the headphone connector, but Samsung still keeps them loyalty. It makes the question, why other developers get rid of them. Galaxy Note 9 is a rather elegant apparatus, the presence of a headphone connector does not prevent him from having many other functionality. Usually manufacturers, removing this connector, say that they use the place inside the case for other purposes.

You also need to talk about watching videos on this smartphone. Thanks to the SUPER AMOLED screen it turns out very rich and highly details. YouTube supports HDR, which improves viewing quality. Available video strengthening function that increases brightness and contrast.

Quality calls

Telephone conversations on Galaxy Note 9 will not be a problem. You will get a pleasant sound, natural tones and sufficient volume to hear in a noisy environment. There is an additional volume mode if it is required. However, the standard volume is probably enough.

Also, the interlocutor will hear you without any problems. There is a hint of distortion, but insufficient to negatively influence the impression of conversations. The speakerphone was pleased, the voices can be distinguished, the volume is high.

Autonomy

Samsung tried to make Galaxy Note 9 the longest in this lineup of smartphones. The battery capacity has grown to 4000 mAh. In last year's Galaxy Note 8 battery only 3300 mAh. Although it is difficult to notice on the eye, the thickness of the housing has grown slightly so that the battery fit into. It is unlikely that someone will object to it.

In the tests for autonomy Galaxy Note 9 showed high results. The duration of work between recharging with the on-screen enabled was 8 hours 56 minutes. This hour exceeds the value of Galaxy Note 8, as well as ahead of Galaxy S9 +. In everyday work, the smartphone will be able to stretch a full day even with a heavy load. Typically, about 35% of the charge remains in the evening.

The greater the battery capacity, the longer it is charging. In this case, not very long. For charging from zero to 100% takes 109 minutes, which is completely slightly exceeding the value of Galaxy Note 8. There is a quick wireless recharging.

Conclusion

At first glance, there are several reasons that Galaxy Note 9 is a fantastic smartphone. It gives out clear photos, it works for a long time without a socket, one of the few offers a stylus. Few the device can be compared with it according to functionality. However, this is the most expensive smartphone in the history of this line at the base value of $ 1000. In Russia, this means the price of 70,000 rubles. For most people, it will become the main factor against buying a smartphone. However, if you can afford it yourself, the device is unlikely to disappoint you.

Galaxy Note 9 was improved in many directions compared to its predecessor. It still does not allow you to call it a revolutionary device, for which many hoped. This is a rather predictable evolutionary update. Almost all the parameters it became better as it should be a year later. It was better to become a stylus, a better camera is offered, but if you have Galaxy Note 8, it's not enough to buy a new one. Essentially, it is the same Galaxy Note 8 in the same package.

If you have an older model, the transition to Galaxy Note 9 should please. It can be safely recommended if you really need similar power and functionality. True, many possibilities were borrowed from Galaxy S9 + and no one is not surprised. In particular, the double camera with variable aperture is one example of this. However, Galaxy Note 9 is located in its own highest league, where the number of players is very limited.

While different manufacturers are looking for excuses, why they cannot give it, and this, Galaxy Note 9 makes it possible literally everything. We see that you can get a smartphone with a phenomenal productivity, while not losing the headphone connector. Here there is almost a cramless screen without cutout, a double camera with a variable aperture, protection against water, a premium appearance and the ability to turn a smartphone into a computer. Galaxy Note 9 justifies all expectations and makes it impossible possible.

Preliminary verdict

Better than previous telephones series in all respects, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has a larger screen, a larger battery and a massive memory supply to 1 TB. The camera will be better, and the Bluetooth stylus S-PEN can activate the custom labels remotely. But the price corresponds to (and even exceeds) IPhone X requests. Does Note 9 rearforward price tag deranged? We learn in the review Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Beautiful 6.4-inch Infinity Display;
Big battery and memory;
Promising camera update;
Quick access to Bluetooth stylus;

Dear;
Many small updates;
Does not support HDR video;
Expensive (need to repeat);

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a bit more and more attractive, as well as a little more powerful than all previous Note phones, but should be clarified: it is also much more expensive.

This is the biggest Android smartphone, which will unconditionally attract your attention in 2018 with a huge 6.4-inch super amoled display, a huge battery for 4000 mAh to work all day with a memory of 512 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

MicroSD memory card slot supports up to 512 GB (which Samsung will be happy to sell you), you may have the first smartphone with a margin of 1 TB.

Good news - Note 9 is not really more than 6.3-inch Note 8 last year, it also inherits many features of the 5,8-inch Galaxy S9 and 6.8-inch Galaxy S9 Plus of this year.

The camera is better, you get a double 12 megapixel camera on the rear panel, adopting a double aperture technology with the ability to write Super Slow Motion. Ar Emoji is returned with some thin settings of avatars, but be sure your avatar will still look like you, according to the first tests of the early review Galaxy Note 9.

An exclusive for the camera Note 9 becomes an automatic scene optimizer and the defect detection feature, together they significantly improve the photos (Recently, Samsung has a habit of transferring such functions to senior smartphones).

The S-PEN stylus now supports Bluetooth for remote control functions, which, unlike the BIXBY button, are configured. Want to posing for photography at a distance of several meters. S-Pen will help you do it and much more.

Bad news - the price is much higher. Get ready to post the price tag of the iPhone X for the initial level model at 128 GB of memory and 6 GB of RAM. Galaxy Note 9 is focused on experienced and business users, according to Samsung - physical size, memory, the price and capacity of the battery tell you about it.

The company sees customers Note as people who spend a lot of time behind their phone and want to get only the best - we are talking about people who buy the best receiver, the best TV and so on.

We continue to test the new Note 9, but we can already say that the first competitor will be the Galaxy S9 Plus - that is, when you are looking for a gigantic full-featured phone with a stylus and hate saving money.

The current Samsung Galaxy Note 8 remains the main threat to this update, which is why Note 9 updates.

SamsungGalaxyNote 9: Release date and prices

Sales date - August 24;
The price is similar to iPhone X;
$ 1000 (60000 p) for 128/6 GB | 1250 $ (75000 p) for 512/8 GB;

The release date (start of sales) SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 09 - 24 August, earlier than anyone expected. Galaxy Note 8 came out on September 15 last year.

The theory is that Samsung wants to escape from Note 9 from the close-up window of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 9, which are expected in early September.

Observing that Samsung competes with Apple, the price of Galaxy Note 9 competes with the Apple phone, but does not replay as we hoped.

The price of Galaxy Note 9 is 1000 dollars (60000 p) for a smartphone on 128 GB of internal memory and 6 GB of RAM, and for 75,000 rubles you get 512 gigabytes and 8 GB of RAM.

Yes, this configuration of 128 GB of the initial level exceeds half a 64 GB of iPhone X memory at the same price, but the price has grown a few thousand relative to the release price NOTE 8. Preliminary orders come off August 10.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 offers the following colors: Ocean Blue (blue) with yellow S-Pen (which writes yellow digital ink for consuming effect) and Lavender Purple (violet) with a purple stylus (which writes purple digital ink). There is also a classic Midnight Black (black).

Until now, we do not have accurate release information in Russia, but we rely on the European release, which usually corresponds to our country - August 24. Available colors are dependent on the regions.

Samsung S-Pen: New TRICKS Note 9.

Bluetooth stylus has custom labels;
Great for remote photography, up to 10 m;
Fast charging built-in phone;

The new S-Pen is a stellar turn for Note 9, capable of magic tricks that have become possible with Bluetooth, from a distance of up to 10 meters.

Samsung managed to squeeze a small battery and a tiny antenna with economical until Bluetooth energy consumption in a constant stylus, which is now capable of different remote functions, we are impressed.

What can you do? We were able to remotely start the camera application with a long pressing on the S-PEN tip, switch the chamber to the automatic definition mode with one touch and remove the group photo with two presses.

It is much easier than to set the timer on the camera, which Samsung hid in the camera settings menu last year, which makes the function not as convenient, as an opportunity to smell your hand in front of the lens to start the camera timer, initiated by gesture.

Samsung makes the S-PEN button customizable. Here are the referenced solution mentioned:

Camera: Coup Coup | snapshot;
Camera: Coup Coup | recording video;
Player: Reproduction and Pause (Music) | next track;
Photo Gallery: Next picture | previous photo;

Samsung provides a software development kit (SDK) for third-party applications to use accessible shortcuts, so they will be configured while application developers support functionality.

S-Pen will have to charge, but Samsung declares that in 40 seconds of charging you will receive 30 minutes of work with the stylus.

We will have to check how long the stylus is served with a full battery in a full-fledged SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 9 review, but we can already say that keeping S-Pen in your hands and charge it will be much easier for Apple Pencil from iPad Pro.

Just install the S-Pen inside the smartphone, and will start charging when not used. Apple Pencil has nowhere to hide, and its connection to the charging port is a very dangerous solution.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Blue Ocean Gets Bright Yellow S-Pen, offering an attractive contrast. The stylus writes yellow digital ink, while a lavender phone with a purple stylus writes purple ink.

All colors support the similar functionality AIR COMMAND. You can draw, make notes, comment on screenshots, translate external text and send live messages (Last Year's Trick S-PEN).

Samsung says that the Bluetooth functionality allows you to evolve S-PEN, but we cannot but notice another contrast.

Labels, such as the ability to take pictures remotely, will help to open a completely different level of the photo, according to Samsung and, while it sounds useful for fans of dramatic selfie (as an example, the manufacturer presented how the user removes itself from the sofa) Note 9 may have a not appropriate audience for Such functions. But it's still a good idea.

GalaxyNote 9: First smartphone for 1 TB

512 GB of integrated memory / 8 GB of RAM;
128 GB of integrated memory / 6 GB of RAM;
Memory cardmicroSD on 512 GB allows you to get 1 TB;

It is not surprising that Samsung, among the leading manufacturers, was the first to release a smartphone for 1 TB, which competes with most laptops available today. Samsung implements this achievement using the internal 512 GB of flash memory, as well as microSD memory cards with a capacity of 512 GB.

Galaxy Note 9 appears as a phone that will never complain about the shortage of memory. Removing the game or the films loaded earlier is not what you need to worry about - remove all the photos you want, with full resolution, as well as 4k-video, when you want, no more compromise. 8 GB of RAM is also likely to be best suited for desktop in Samsung Dex mode, the secondary output system on the screen with virtualization software.

The Dex feature is easier to use with Galaxy Note 9, as unlike Note 8, which requires a physical docking station, now everything you need to connect to a PC is an HDMI adapter.

Of course, 512 GB of memory and 8 GB of RAM is a model in which the amazing price of Galaxy Note 9 blooms. The base model is 128 GB and 6 GB of RAM "cheaper" by 15,000 rubles.

At these prices you wonder if I really need a phone with 1 TB of memory? Is I going to spend money on a microSD memory card with a capacity of 512 GB? Maybe a cloud storage will make this memory inappropriate in the future?

GalaxyNote 9: 4000 mAh battery

A substantially enlarged battery for 4000 mAh;
GalaxyS9 offered 3000 mAh, butS9.Plus - 3500 mAh;
Fast charging and fast wireless charging;

The nominal battery capacity of the Note 9 also went beyond the scope, breaking the ceiling of 4000 mAh.

Samsung finally suggested a large battery after Reviews Note 7, the manufacturer promises that the 8-point security check guarantees protection against the ignition of the phone, which we have seen two years ago.

And while memory sizes come in two configurations, the size of the battery, fortunately, is common to both phones. You also receive quick charging features and quick wireless charging.

GalaxyNote 9: Design, display and other

Expandable 6.4-inch display with a slight dimension change;
Includes fingerprint scanner, slotmicroSD and headphone jack;

The SAMSUNG SUPER AMOLED display does not need to look great. This is still the best display on the market, which becomes better only with the new Samsung phone from year to year.

The 6.4-inch screen Note 9 has grown by the tenth inch in comparison with the 6.3-inch Note screen. 8. These are changes that few people will notice until it gets the measuring tape (which we used in our review Note 9).

Infinity's endless display is extremely bright and durable. And even if the high ratio of the parties is 18: 9 (or in this case, 18.5: 9) is represented by almost every flagship smartphone 2018, the curved Samsung panels are not equal.

The size of Galaxy Note 9 also has changed relative to Note 8, but maybe not the way you think. It became a little wider and slightly shorter than Note 8, with dimensions of 161.9 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm (Note 8 - 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.6 mm).

It also weighs a little more: 201 grams against 195 grams. This is not a small and not easy smartphone, but it will be comfortable in hand, better than S9 Plus in some respects, thanks to less round design.

Here are two features that Samsung offers you to replay iPhone X: a headphone jack and a microSD card slot in order to increase memory.

Note 9 is a water and dustproof with an IP68 rating, this indicator remains unchanged regardless of whether S-Pen is installed in the phone or not. New for Note 9 are stereo speakers (both on S9 and S9 Plus).

What you still do not get with the latest phone Apple: Fingerprint scanner, which acts as an alternative to the scanner of retina and face recognition.

The scanner is located on the reverse side of Note 9 and is located in the center this time. Galaxy Note 8 offered a fingerprint scanner, but he was not located in the center, which led to fingerprints on the camera lens. Many have raised this decision.

GalaxyNote 9: Opening hours and cameras

Inherits double camera apertureS9.Plus;
Wide-angle and tele-lens of the double chamber;
Improving shooting optimizer and promisingAi;

Samsung offers a reliable dual chamber unit with Note 9, the main camera is supported by an outbreak and is represented by the telephoto lens. S9 Plus offers a good idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to wait, but Samsung promises higher quality photos from Note 9.

Dual 12 megapixel main camera relies on a double aperture technology to switch between a diaphragm F / 1.5 for shooting in poor lighting conditions and a diaphragm F / 2.4 for shooting in normal lighting conditions. S9 Plus promises a positive result even in the darker conditions of shooting, which increases the rating of Galaxy as a better camera phone in the market.

The secondary chamber allows you to use the optical X2 zoom, providing clear photos of the telephoto set, when you are too far from the photo object. The diaphragm in this mode is installed on F / 2.4 and, like the main lens, the telephoto lens has an optical stabilization of the image (OIS) to compensate for the hand shake.

The front camera Note 9 works with 8 MP and includes automatic focus, for the first time on NOTE phones. Samsung fills the camera application by infinite parameters and modes: Ar-stickers, automatic switching to wide-angle group photography and video in Super Slow Motion mode at a speed of 960 frames per second with a resolution of 720p. This is one of the most reliable camera applications on the market, while extremely easy to use.

Samsung has demonstrated as Note 9 camera identifies and adapts to various photographs with a new scene optimization function.

This solution regulates white and color balance based on 20 preset scenes, including sunsets, flowers, food, birds, text, and so on. In comparison with the six-month S9 Plus, we see the Note 9 camera demonstrates much more details in the macro shot of the flower.

The camera should understand what it looks, it uses the same technology to eliminate deficiencies, including blur, blur photos, spots on lenses and backlight.

Sometimes the phone chooses the best group photo, in other cases it displays a pop-up message that you need to clean the dirty camera lens.

While competing Android smartphones support Mobile video of HDR, we do not see signs of this technology here - we are likely to wait for Galaxy S10.

Obviously, we carefully test this chamber, continuing the full review of Galaxy Note 9.

GalaxyNote 9:Android, Interface and Applications

Android Oreo, Note 9 skips Android Pie;
ExclusiveFORTNITE (for a very short period);
Samsung Pay, Bixby AI and AR Emoji;

Samsung without unnecessary words misses Android 9 PIE release this week, delivering Galaxy Note 9 based on Android Oreo. Not that you noticed it under the Samsung interface.

It is not too bad. SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE software was perfectly improved in 2018, with useful tips on how to navigate in a deep and complex operating system. It is much better than the bloated Samsung Touchwiz firmware on old phones with Android, and all users who tolerate cannot customary interfaces probably did not try Samsung Experience.

Samsung smartphones (Galaxy S7 and above) will be the first to have access to the popular Fortnite game on Android through the Samsung Game Center application.

This is six-day exclusive access (which will start with the launch of Note 9), designed to give Samsung phone users an advantage, however, the game will have to be reinstalled after this period. In addition, Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4 receive exclusive Fortnite skins, which will remain forever.

Samsung Pay is another app, which is worth noting. It is still our favorite way of accomplishing contactless payments simply because you can pay for things based on credit cards that do not usually accept Apple Pay and Android Pay. Why no one followed Samsung.

The Assistant Bixby AI returns again, but he was not mentioned in release and did not pass testing in a practical review Note 9, we still have to learn about AR Emoji in full review of Galaxy Note 9 to offer you full information.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9: First OPINION

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 offers many interesting features - and increases the price, which will not like many. S-PEN gets tricks with remote control, you get an unsurpassed amount of memory, and the battery life sees stunning growth, along with the huge promises of AI cameras.

The last two advantages require full testing, but the first impression is very favorable.

You will simply pay monstrous money for this package of small updates at a time when Note 8 is a wonderful phablem at a lesser price with pleasant discounts. When Samsung told that the ideal user sees a buyer who prefer the best AV receiver, the best TV and so on, he may have forgotten to mention the best aircraft, the best yacht and the best sports car.

iPhone X led prices to this level, and we also complained about it. Samsung, at least, offers "more" for your money.

2018 was not an outstanding year for phones. SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 flagship sales were slightly slow, and it became one of the least successful S-series devices. Galaxy S9 is an excellent phone, but it has no innovation or something special new.

From what I saw, it may be a similar story with Galaxy Note 9, which at first glance looks like a corrected version 8. It has a big battery and some new features that debuted with Galaxy S9, but will it be enough?

I always liked the Note series. She is certain for everyone, but she has functions that you just do not find elsewhere. Having such a large battery, a huge amount of repository and this magnificent Note 9 display really appears in the best light. I would like to see more. The lack of real updates for the camera is a patient point.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 - Design

If you have seen Note 8, then you saw Note 9. Samsung has retained the overall design is very similar, and this is not entirely bad. Despite the fact that he still feels curved lines and the metal rim still feeling completely modern. Many phones accepted a similar look at this, but no one feels high-tech and communicated to perfection.

The glass is still a magnet, and I constantly worry about to abandon such a large device, but I am prone to forgive these shortcomings for such a well-thought-out phone.

The greatest difference in design is that the fingerprint sensor is now below the camera, and not next to it. This little change makes the difference: I no longer bloom the camera every time I want to unlock the phone.

Samsung rarely changes the colors of its products, but with Note 9 everything is slightly different. Bright blue finish, which contrasts with a sharp yellow S-Pen. I love him and feel that this is a real step forward for the device, which was once known as too business.

I am also a big fan of what the first time you can buy S-Pens separately, allowing you to experiment with various combinations. Note 9 will also be in standard black, the same lavender purple as S9, copper-gold - although unfortunately they will not be available everywhere.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - Specifications and Functions

6.4-inch screen, quad-core HD AMOLED, HDR
Performance Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810
RAM 6GB / 8GB
Storage 64GB / 128GB / 256GB / 512GB + MicroSD
Rear chamber 2 x 12MP (F / 1.7 - F / 1.5 - F / 2.4 - Main), OIS, 4K Video, Dual Pixel
8MP front camera, f / 1.7
Battery 4000 mAh, fast charging, wireless charging
S-PEN Yes (with Bluetooth)

There was a time in early generations Note, where he was superior to the S-series when it came to the characteristics. Now he simply matches his smaller native brother. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is running from Snapdragon 845 in the USA and Exynos 9810 in other places (the same as S9 and S9 Plus). It contains the same RAM 6 GB / 8 GB as S9 Plus, and the QUAD-HD HDR AMOLED display.

The display is slightly larger than that of S9, but only 0.2 inches. This is an absolutely stunning display that transmits unforgettable sensations. There are also improved AKG-customized speakers, so your media files will look and sound great.

The greatest differences in the characteristics are reduced to the size of the battery and memory. If you want to store everything on your phone, then 512 GB (now 128 GB - the initial basis) Note 9 for you. You can even increase this case up to 1 TB with the addition of the MicroSD card. The battery is also huge: 4000 mAh.

During the release of Note 9, Samsung also introduced a partnership with EPIC developers for Fortnite. Samsung will be the first device where Fortnite will appear for the first time, and on other Android phones it will appear later.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 - S PEN

S-Pen remains the biggest point of sale Note. The stylus supported by Wacom gives Note, a kind of chip which may seem just an unnecessary thing, but it is far from the case. Adding Bluetooth seems inappropriate: will I ever use it to control the camera or expansion of presentations? Probably no.

When using S Pen, everything is just as good as before - it is liquid, smooth and uber-responsive. I never managed to use long S-Pen, but considering how many fans Note use them, S-Pen remains a positive addition.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 - CAMERA

On the back of Note 9 there is a new camera. A 12-megapixel camera with variable aperture (F / 1.5 + F / 2.4) was taken directly from S9 and S9 Plus. Next to it there is another 12 megapixel camera, this time with a longer focal length for 2x zoom.

The setting seems to have not changed with the Galaxy S9 Plus, which may be disappointment for those who hoped that Note 9 will compete with Pixel 2 or Huawei P20 Pro for the best telephone chamber. I took off some quick pictures with Note 9 during my demonstration, and they looked very similar to S9: the colors were very bright, but the details were slightly crossed. I like to control the aperture, especially since F / 1.5 is good for blurring the background and improve snapshots with low lighting.

In the Samsung camera application, I made a note from the Huawei P20 series and added automatic scene detection. Samsung says that there are 20 scenes that he can detect, and this will change the image depending on your environment. There is also a mode that can notice shortcomings and suggest fixing them.

Pleasantly surprised, but no more

Samsung Galaxy Note9 is what the flagship of the past generation should be. It combines the best technology of the company, harmoniously combined with a class case.

Personally, I still do not understand the purpose of the stylus, because Steve Jobs gave clearly to understand that this device was not needed for a very long time. And I do not have the slightest idea why it continues to create samsung. Even with such a huge screen.

Apparently, Koreans have a different vision of the development of smartphones with a large screen. And many agree with this. Alas, I do not understand.
