In terms of the price, both lower-priced variants cost the same, that is 999 Euros ($1157). Last year, there was only one version, which had 64 GB of storage space and 6 GB of RAM. This year, Samsung’s flagship phablet comes in two storage variants: 128 GB of storage plus 6 GB of RAM or 512 GB of storage plus 8 GB of RAM. The stylus can be easily ejected from and put back in the case. This mechanism is comparable to what you might see in a ballpen. The stylus is ejected out of the case via a spring-loaded mechanism. It can be inserted into the case completely. There are no other abnormalities such as creaking or crackling to report. We noticed only one small anomaly: When you shake the smartphone, something is rattling inside. The smartphone is still extremely well-built and very rigid. All in all, the differences are minimal and are almost unnoticeable in day-to-day use. The Note 9 weighs 6 grams (~0.2 oz) more than its predecessor. However, the smartphone is half a millimeter (~0.02 in) shorter and its display is 0.1 inches larger. The case is 1.6 millimeters (~0.63 in) wider and somewhat thicker than that of the predecessor. It claims on its website in fine print that the Note 9 will only be able to last 30 minutes under water before fluid would enter it. Having said that, this time Samsung does not guarantee that the smartphone will be able to survive submersion under water for an unlimited period of time. Once again, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is IP 68 certified. More and more manufacturers utilize glass surfaces, because they provide better signal strength than metal. Just like its predecessor, the glass back is very susceptible to fingerprints. However, they are not currently available. A purple color scheme and a copper color scheme also exist on the Internet. The back of the smartphone is made of highly reflective Gorilla Glass 5. The Galaxy Note 9 comes in the following color schemes: Midnight Black and Ocean Blue. However, there are still side bezels, which are merely disguised by the curved glass. The display seems to meld into the sides. The front of the smartphone is dominated by the display, which is confined by the small top and bottom bezels. Visually, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has not changed much. None of the competitors come with a stylus. Is this going to be enough to survive the competition from the behemoths such as the iPhone 8 Plus from Apple and the Huawei Mate 10? Or from the lower-priced competitors such as the OnePlus 6, the LG G7 ThinQ and the HTC U12 Plus. But what is really new here: Well, the S Pen now supports Bluetooth and therefore can be used as a remote control. So, basically, a standard list of improvements. The mobile Internet is also faster and the camera takes better photos. When compared to its direct predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, not much seems to have changed, at least at first glance: There is now an optional version with 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage space, the processor is somewhat faster and the battery has a larger capacity. However, the American version comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845. We review the European model with 128 GB of storage space and 6 GB of RAM. The phablet has been praised profusely thus far: According to DisplayMate, the Note 9 has the best display in a smartphone and it also did very well in the torture test. Once again, the South Korean smartphone maker brings a business phablet with a stylus known as the S Pen to the market. With the Galaxy Note 9, Samsung introduces the first smartphone of the autumn.
