Samsung Galaxy Note 9 specifications

Should you upgrade from the Note 8?

As powerful as the Galaxy Note 9 is, 2017's Note 8 is still one heck of a smartphone, too.

The Note 9 offers the expected improvements in regards to RAM, camera performance, etc., but really gets a strong edge over its predecessor thanks to its improved S Pen and a massive battery.

Then again, if you already have the Note 8 and don't feel like throwing down a lot of money right now on a new phone (or want to wait for the Note 10, you may want to hold off on upgrading.

Let Andrew break everything down for you in his comparison of the Note 8 and Note 9

How's it compare to other phones?

That's fine and dandy, but how's the Note 9 hold up against other non-Note devices?

Without a doubt, one of the Note 9's biggest competitors comes from Samsung itself with the Galaxy S10+. The S10+ offers a newer processor, an additional rear camera, and Samsung's new Infinity-O display, but the Note 9 comes in at a more affordable price and is the only one of the two that has the iconic S Pen.

Outside of Samsung devices, there's also the Google Pixel 3 XL. This is the go-to phone for people that want to take the best pictures possible, and from a software perspective, it benefits from a cleaner user interface and faster updates. There's also stiff competition coming from the OnePlus 7 Pro thanks to its outstanding design, performance, software, and aggressive price tag.

A lot is new with the S Pen

The S Pen is easily the biggest reason so many people flock to the Note series year after year, and this time around, Samsung's giving the S Pen one of its biggest upgrades in years.

For the first time, Samsung's added Bluetooth Low Energy to the S Pen. With this new connectivity, the S Pen picks up a heap of new features that allow you to control the Note 9 from a distance.

Some use cases include being able to use the S Pen and its button as a camera shutter, navigating through presentations, and more. The presence of Bluetooth also means this is the first S Pen to have a battery, and as with all things that have a battery, the S Pen needs to be charged.

Thankfully, seeing as how the S Pen seamlessly charges in the background when stored inside the Note 9, this doesn't ever prove to be an issue of any sort.

Does Samsung sell replacement S Pens for the Galaxy Note 9?

What color should you get?

Samsung's typically one of the better OEMs when it comes to offering a good variety of colors, and with the Note 9, that's no different.

In the United States, buyers can choose from Ocean Blue, Lavender Purple, Midnight Black, and Cloud Silver.

Check out all of the colors at Samsung's website

Don't forget about the accessories!

The Note 9 has a striking design that combines metal and glass into one gorgeous package, but as great as the phone might look, it's certainly not the most durable handset you'll find.

Thankfully, to help keep your Note 9 looking as good as can be through all sorts of wear and tear, there are a ton of excellent cases out there.

Once you've picked up a case or two for the Note 9, there are a few other accessories we also recommend getting.

Should you wait for the Galaxy Note 10?

While the Galaxy Note 9 may still be kicking along in 2019, it's no secret that it'll be replaced soon by the Galaxy Note 10.

The Note 10 will be announced on August 7, and we're expecting it to bring the usual laundry list of upgrades. The processor will be newer/faster, the AMOLED display will be better than ever, and we'll get big upgrades in the camera department.

If you've been holding off on getting the Note 9, it won't hurt to wait a little while longer to see what Samsung brings to the table. At the same time, if you don't care about owning the latest and greatest and just want a new phone right now, you can buy a brand new Note 9 for well under $800 in the U.S.
