SamsungGalaxy Note 9 (Single SIM) 128 GB 6.4-Inch Android 8.1 Oreo UK Version SIM-Free Smartphone – Midnight Black

I adore the Galaxy Note series. My Note 8 has a cracked screen and is out of warranty. I originally planned to get another Note 8 as I'm nowhere near a Samsung repair place (and a new screen would cost almost as much as the Note 8 now that the Note 10 is out) but I decided to pay a little bit extra and go for the upgrade to the Note 9. Just after I did, the news came out that they weren't rolling out Android 10 to the Note 8, so I was even more delighted. I nearly splashed out on the Note 10, but in reality this more than meets my needs. I'm able to stream films to my heart's content, and use social media. The phone is almost the same overall size and weight as the Note 8, but the screen appears bigger. The battery life is much better, and it recharges quickly. The camera is superb, especially in low light, which is an improvement. I really like the stylus, though I get a bit annoyed when it "runs out of juice" even though I'm just using it to tap and scroll - it doesn't actually need battery for these functions, so I get annoyed by the notification. It does recharge very quickly. Fingerprint sensor is much better than on the Note 8, and is in a better location below the camera rather than beside it, so fewer instructions to clean the lens!! Overall, I think it is fabulous!

unfortunately for me indispensable.and yes have tried lots others including new 24galaxy.sorry will not be changing my note 9.and meet lots others who say same.so SAMSUNG. Release another better.if possible.

Not the latest Note but top quality Android10 phone at a decent price. I went from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (which I loved but was getting slow after about 5 years) to Moto G4 plus (pretty good but starting to slow and run out of space) to this a year ago. I just love having a Samsung again and especially a Note, I use the pen frequently for DIY drawings and things to remember. It's still so fast and loads of memory free. Seems to pick up wifi and phone mast signals better than wife's Samsung A71 (though photos seem slightly more "colourful" on the A71). Fingerprint reader and face recog are fast and consistent. Love the wireless charging, NFC, headphone jack, SD card slot. Excellent call quality. My daughter went from Moto G5 to this a couple of months ago and absolutely loves it. She had wanted a smaller screen phone (has v small hands) but manages the bigger screen and can't put it down.

I love this phone. I had the S9+ because the note wasn't out at the time when my phone died. Now I have it I am extremely pleased with my purchase. As a child I always had mud on my face and a notepad in my pocket, I grew up scribbling things down and drawing up ideas for wild projects, so the S-Pen is a welcomed addition to what basically is the S9+. I purchased the 512gb version, I am a heavy PC user, immediately I put a lot of music and favourite videos filling up 100gb day one, so I can absolutely justify getting the bigger version.The note taking is great, I love the S-Pen, the battery is good, but if you have the always on display to see your on display notes, it drains the battery a lot. I was using it at first, but I have had to turn it off. Unlocking the phone to see pinned notes is good enough. I've had no issues with the phone, it runs perfectly, it's fast and fluid. I absolutely love this device, almost all the video reviews on youtube agree that it is a fantastic phone.

I'm new to Samsung and my last 3 phones are all HTCs ; Wildfire S, Sensation XE and HTC One M9. My M9 has its days and battery is a little tempermental hence switched to Galaxy Note 9. It is a steep learning curve even though it is between 2 Android devices. Note 9 is 3 years younger phone (2018 vs 2015) to M9 hence loads better in Specs. My only reservation is sound quality which though louder is not close to front facing dual speakers of M9. In my opinion, not as clear and crispy as HTC One M9. And HTC One M9 is not on par with HTC One M8 in terms of sound quality. For now, I've to contempt with Samsung until HTC produce a dual speaker stereo phone with head phone jack and Aluminum body.

As you can see on the pictures the phone is in perfect condition except the minor damage on the left upper corner but you would expect this from a used phone, that's why it's cheaper than a new one. I think over time you could damage a new one too, like I did when I bought a brand new Note 4 and dropped it multiple times until I had the same mark on the corner :DAll the hardware works, at least everything that I've tested so far, most importantly camera, fingerprint, iris sensor .... these all work just fine so 430 pounds was definitely worth it, you also get 1 year warranty which is much better than 3 months that you usually get with other companies.If I have to tell some cons I would say no accessories included at all not even the box itself. I don't know if this applies for all their phones or mine was a specific.You only get a usb-c cable for charging, a sim opener ohh and my favourite, some HARIBO bears :DDD I instantly had smile on my face when I saw them in the package :PP

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is, quite simply, the best phone which I have ever owned - and I began with a Nokia Brick 26 years ago, so I have some experience!I resisted moving away from a hard keyboard until I purchased a Blackberry Key 2 (hated it after the Blackberry Passport) and accidentally dropped it into a jug of water on my potter's wheel - don't ask!Persuaded to look at a Samsung Galaxy Note, I was immediately won over by the headphone jack in the Note 9 (Long Live Dinosaurs!), the quirkiness of the S pen as well as its incredible usefulness for those of us who cannot abide fingerprints marring the surface of our screens.Having owned the phone for several weeks now, I cannot recommend it highly enough.I use the S pen for quick functions and a marvellous lightweight bluetooth keyboard when using the phone as a mini tablet. For me, it is a much neater solution than my iPad and keyboard combo or my laptop.Thank you, Samsung, for a brilliant solution to problems which I have suffered, unknowingly, in silence for years. I am thrilled!
