Samsung - Galaxy Note9 128GB - Lavender Purple (Sprint)

I finally got the note I wanted. I haven't had one since the note 7 fiasco. The update on the curve screen versus the S7 edge is amazing. Cases actually have the ability to protect the screen whereas before the curve was still easily broken. The camera is incredible, as well as video. Lots of different camera features as well. Extremely fast processor compared to previous phones I've owned. I've been a Samsung girl for many years now even after the note 7 issues. If they keep updating as well as the note 9, I will probably remain a Samsung user for the rest of my life.

The last Samsung phones I've had were the Galaxy 6+ and Galaxy Note 3. This Galaxy Note 9 exceeds my expectations in every way, from the advance tech features, available memory, exceptional screen and display to the quality of the product.

Very happy with my phone. Except on one occasion my phone was a little hot causing case to burn. Notice brown section of cover.

Thats incredible device, i cant believe how much i can do. Keep do great job samsumg.

Haven't had it long enough to give it a good review. Lots to learn on this new phone. It's quite advanced. I think when I've owned it longer I will be able to give a better review. So far I like it alot. Tk u Sassy

So I've been an Apple fan, and deeply entrenched in their ecosystem for many, many years, beginning with the iPhone 3. There is no doubt their products are eye-catching, well-integrated, and something of a status symbol. I have owned just about every type of device they produce (iPhone, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, MacBook). So why leave? Well, to be honest, I'm typing this review on a MacBook Air and my iPad Pro 12.9 is charging. So I haven't completely divorced Apple. Let's just say, we need some time apart. Now I liked my iPhone X but being a fan of technology in general, I keep my eye on the latest, greatest, and upcoming tech items. Samsung releases their Note 9, there is a buzz around this phone, it peaks my interest. I look at the pre-release reviews, watch the keynote address, and finally get my hands on one to demo at Best Buy. Now, I'm in love! This phone is visually stunning! I purchased the blue and it is beautiful. Ok, so it's pretty to look at, but it also functions like no other device I have ever owned. Brains AND beauty. Samsung does an amazing job with their skins over the stock Android OS. Coming from Apple, there isn't much you can customize to truly make your phone "yours". Mostly cosmetic, not much in true customization. With my Note 9 - WOW! I can dig so much deeper into the settings and customizations, truly making this device mine. My productivity is much increased, partly because of customizations, partly because of the amazing S Pen, and partly because the Note 9 makes me WANT to use it. I really enjoy the productivity boost, but also have found myself really getting deep into Samsung Health, more than I ever did with Apple's integrated health system. It really is a pleasure using this phone. Combined with my Gear S3, this is a powerhouse. The battery life - well I am a heavy user and am getting about 30 hours between charges with about 20% remaining on the battery. Much better than my iPhone X. The cameras take amazing, beautiful photos and 4K video. The expandable storage helps keep those stunning pictures and videos right on your phone. Yes, the price is a tad bit steep, but for all you get, I think it's a justifiable purchase. This review could be pages and pages of why I love this device. I'll just end by saying it is a beautiful device, performs flawlessly, incredible power, good battery life, excellent storage capacity, and so much productivity potential it's crazy. The Note 9 has become an integrated part of my daily routine and I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

The note series is one of the flagship model of Samsung phones. The quality and design have always been top notch. Although Note 8 and Note 9's design have been similar, the inside of the phone is what makes Note 9 matters. Note series is geared more toward business user where the stylus may become more handy for a power user. The stylus is top notch, really useful when you want to sign a document accurately and jot down notes in handwriting. As a Samsung flagship's phone, you can expect great design and performance. Samsung's user interface is not overly done, which is good and simple enough to navigate. Note 9 is a significant improvement over Note 8. The phone feels faster to do things you require. Retinal scan to unlock the phone is significantly faster. Bluetooth feature of the stylus may come in handy especially when you use the phone to tether presentation. Screen quality is excellent. The OLED screen will do justice to the picture the phone takes. Picture quality is gorgeous. Battery life feels improved from Note 8. The only thing about Note 9 that Samsung could have improved is the screen design, which has the same design as Note 8. We may see a full screen phone in the coming months with the latest Samsung S-series but you won't really missing much because Note 9's screen is already large and beautiful enough. So should you get this or the new iPhone XS? Well, if you're so tied in the iOS ecosystem then you might want to stick with Apple products. But if you switch to Android and go with Note 9, you may realize that you have been missing one thing or two all these years before taking the leap and jump into the android bandwagon. Note 9 will give you more flexibility in managing and transferring files from your device. You can even expand your memory storage easily by getting a micro SD card, which now comes in 512GB capacity.

In my line of phones, I have always had the Galaxy Series and seeing the specs of this phone, I could not pass up the offer. Last Christmas, I got my mom the Note 8 and I had to play with it to show her how to use it and from there I always wanted a Note. Last year was a hectic year for me with traveling with my parents to doctor offices and the need to do homework was done by my phone. With my s8+, it handled the work load very well, but this year it started to lag and glitch out with more work that I made it go through. With this phone, it has not lagged yet and with the pen being an option to sign documents on the go has been a needed feature of mine. Taking pictures has been amazing and I can not tell you how happy I am with battery life. To spend over a grand on a phone is crazy to some individuals, but if you use all the technology that comes with the phone and use it towards your advantage, the money factor would not be an issue. Love this phone and the blue color!!!!
