- My 1st Ever Note Series Phone • Samsung Galaxy Note9
So I Just Brought This In Like A Day Before Today, And I Would Say This Phone Is Very Comfortable To Hold It, And The Quality Of Pictures Is Average But It's Not Great Unlike My Galaxy Z Flip3 5G Or My Galaxy S22+ 5G, But Overall It Delivers A Good Image, And The Performance Is Also Average But Not The Best, But Still It Can Play Some Decent Games But Not The Demanding Ones Though, And This Phone Is Also IP68 Rating Which Means It's Water And Dust Resistant And A Little Scratch Resistant, So I Love This Phone, Like I'm So Obsessed With It, And I Brought The Blue Color With 128GB ROM & 6GB RAM, And Overall A Pretty Decent Phone For The Year Of 2025.
Pros- Super AMOLED Display
- WQHD Screen Resolution
- Has A Headphone Jack

Cons- Only Has 60Hz Refresh Rate
- Stuck At Android 10 • One UI 2.5
- Only Has 15W Fast Charging
- Overheats Fast With Slightly Usage
- Outdated Processor / CPU / GPU
- Can't Handle Demanding Games Due To Outdated Spec

View answers - Been using this phone for almost 4 years now and the phone is still doing good with daily tasks.
My experience overall is still fine but the phone will get hot if I play games or turning on 4G for a long time. The screen will turn greenish if the phone gets too hot. Not really a recommendation to buy it in 2024 but for those who already own it, I believe they will all agree this phone was worth it.
Pros- Headphone Jack
- Unique and Clean Design
- No notch or hole punch
- SD Card slot
Cons- CPU is outdated for newer games

View answers - Still recommend in 2022
Super phone, my antutu score was 372993, I love the camera images, the battery takes me 10 hours on heaviest but usage light usage takes to the next day, the screen is super bright using it out doors and under sunlight, speaker is loud and clear even when in a noisy environment, it take 2hrs to get to 100% during charge, games works well on this device, the intelligence scanner is doing a great job, s pen too though the remote on the spen refused to work maybe the spen needs change, mine has android 10, 2.5 ui, exynos dual sim version with 6gb ram and 128hdd. I recommend this phone because it is a future flagship device produced in 2018. Take note, from galaxy note 10 upwards no more audio jack, iris scana, heart rate monitor all this were removed.
Pros- Best galaxy phone ever in my possibly.
Cons- Sometimes lag for no reason

View answers - It's a very nice and complete phone.
It's a nice and complete phone. No complains on the camera, the screen the hardware performance or anything else. The only weak part of this phone is the battery, but that is normal because it is a 3 year old smartphone and batteries decrease its efficiency over time, so maybe if you change its battery for a new one then this phone would be perfect for you. You won't be missing anything.
Pros- Everything but the battery
Cons- Battery

View answers - Using it in 2020 still feels like a solid phone. Personally prefer this over the note 10 plus.
Its age is 2 years old, but it still holds up really well against its competition in the market, especially if bought as second-hand. You can get a flagship-tier quality phone at the price of a mid-tier phone, and that speaks well to argue about getting this phone.
It is still receiving updates to this day, with the latest one being Android 10-based One ui 2.1.
The curved screen is very beautiful, yet fragile. It is prone to damage if not protected by a screen protected (despite having a phone case on).
The pen is a great feature to this phone, it selves as a multi-functional tool to help write, draw, and take pictures with.
This phone is a do-it-all phone, and is a technological powerhouse. Highly recommended.Pros- Great camera
- Great battery
- Still receiving updates (One ui 2.1)
- Great display (Super AMOLED)
- Notchless (personal taste)
- Superb audio quality
Cons- The Exynos SOC may be a little weaker and less efficient
- One UI takes a little time getting used to
- One UI 2.1 may be its last major update
- Side-curved display prone to damage
- Aging (but still reliable) tech
- A little of the heavy side (201g)
