The reviews on Note 9 are mostly positive, andthey only talk about some minor issues. The smartphone has a large and beautiful display, excellent build quality, a convenient S Pen and an amazing dual camera that can take high-quality pictures.

The artificial intelligence mode in the Galaxy Note 9 camera does a good job, but still does not reach the automatic detection of scenes on Huawei.
It's nice that artificial intelligence is not tooobsessive, but at the same time it makes little sense. Note 9 already takes great pictures without the help of artificial intelligence. It conveys rich colors and crisp details, but in the color reproduction, the smartphone still can not be compared with the Pixel 2. To take portraits and food is still better on the Huawei P20 Pro. Its aperture is larger - f / 1.8 (compared to f / 2.4 in Note 9), so it’s better to focus on objects close by.
Like the Galaxy S9, Note 9 can recordSuper-slow motion video at 960 fps for 0.4 seconds. The final video lasts 12 seconds. The essence of the function is the same: the camera will start recording video when it recognizes the movement of the object.
With 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 845 processor, the performance of Note 9 is on top.
The smartphone is great for working in multipleapplications at the same time. For example, you can watch videos on YouTube and play Fortnite at the same time. All Instagram feed is loaded instantly when you open the application. However, the speed largely depends on the speed of your connection, and not on the processor of the device.
The 4000mAh battery is good enough for the smartphone to work more than a day. However, Engadget tests showed that Note 9 does not work much longer than Note 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

However, Note 9 is not perfect. It not only works on an outdated version of Android, it also has an intelligent face scan function. In addition, the Bixby virtual assistant is still terrible.
Bixby is a complete mess. The features that Samsung introduced at the presentation (like integrating third-party applications without installing them) do not work well. The assistant for no reason opens unnecessary applications. The virtual assistant is not even able to cope with such a task as sending a message.

This is another positive review that praises the performance, display and Note 9 camera. According to Gizmodo, the Note 9 camera can even compare with the Pixel 2 camera.
Those who praise the Pixel 2 camera and consider itthe best must stop. This is not true. There is no obvious leader between the iPhone X, Pixel 2, Huawei P20 Pro, and Galaxy Note 9. Google wins HDR + processing, and Pixel 2 is slightly ahead of Note 9 in daytime shooting, but in the evenings, Note 9 takes the lead.
The Note 9 4000mAh battery makes it a true leader in battery life.
Talk about the duration of Note 9. We left the best in the end. The Note 9 has an amazing battery. The smartphone was able to work 14 hours 11 minutes and took second place, losing only Asus Zenfone 4 Max, whose sole purpose is to work for a long time. Last year, Samsung used a battery for the Note 8, which was 200mAh less than the S8 +. However, in 2018, the company increased the Note 9 battery by almost 15% compared to the S9 +, and this is noticeable.
The only real downside to Note 9 isthat it continues to run Android 8.1 Oreo, although Android 9 Pie is coming soon. The new version of Android contains many new features that would perfectly fit Note 9. Most likely, the Pie update will become available for the smartphone in only a few months.
In general, Note 9 can be called the best smartphone with Android, although the price of $ 1,000 does not seem justified to everyone.
