Samsung Galaxy Note 9 In Late 2023! Was This Samsung's Best Flagship Of All Time?

I am still using it without any issues. Best phone in Galaxy note series

still using mine

note 9 512 gb is best...sd card, charging light, earphone plug for long flights, call recorder, big screen, run awsome to his age, great overall...

The last true Samsung Galaxy Note with all the practical essential features except the removable battery it has the phone jack and SD Card. Removing them is injustice that is why I still have mg 8GB/512GB paired with NextDock Touch I almost don't need a full fledge laptop.

Note 10 was the best in my opinion... it no longer had the 3.5 headphone jack & sd card slot but makes up for it.

S9 and Note 9 last real Samsung phones, it was a utility beast, the only thing it did not have I say was a IR blaster. I am happy with my S23 Ultra, especially because in Europe we got the Exynos chips, the S23U is the first after many years we get to use Snapdragon again but Note 9 is a true legacy.

Im thinking of buying one, the only thing that worried me is screen burn.

I loved the note 7. You could put it in your coat pocket in the winter and it would keep you warm.

I think this phone is still doable even in 2023. If you wanted to customise it then download good lock. If you can find a global Exynos version then you can root it and flash newer versions of one ui. I found one for 50 dollars and if I had to i could use it for my daily driver..

The most complete smartphone that Samsung ever made!

How can I get that live wallpaper sirr

last real no compromise phone released, currently every other phone on the market feels like a downgrade to me one way or the other.

fpr on the back
no punchhole cam
has an iris scanner
headphone jack
oxymeter
s-pen
sd card support (even dual sim + sd card was possible before samsung disabled it via software)
desctop mode (Dex)

Oct 2023 and I'm 4 years and 11 months into my Note 9. While I'm not a power user, my phone still works great! No more updates from Samsung of course but everything else is fine. My battery can still last me almost a full day. And I'm still rocking the original basic clear case that came in the box. I'm going to runt his thing until the wheels fall off 🤞

Just wanna change my battery. Can I pls get the links for the same.. iam in india ❤ pls help

Just ordered one. Went from iphone pro max to zfold 4 to iphone 13 mini, now to a note 9, its hard to beat, the s pen is great for doodling and daily note taking, physical finger print scan, real iris scan, headphone jack so i can use my studio headphones, the micro sd card slot is super handy, camera is honestly good enough, im no photographer but for an old phone the photos are pretty damn nice, im not taking giant landscape pics so i dont need all the megapixels, also editing and photoshop with the s pen is fun. As for the software, im all for modding android software, its basicly a computer in your pocket. I have a note 10 plus as well, but its kinda fragile, no headphone jack, its good but the note 9 just feels different tho,

It was the peak of samsung but got beaten by the mate 20 pro by all means

I recently got a Xiaomi 11 Lite 5g NE as a main phone, but I still use the Galaxy Note 9. I didn't want to upgrade to a newer phone but I had to because of the not so great battery life on the Note9 these days, so I decided on a compromise, the Note 9 is now a dex station for me, basically a second computer for productivity and writing. It's amazing how good this phone was built. t was build to last and it does it's job amazingly well even now.
On a side note, I wanted to upgrade to a new Galaxy note, but I realized they removed the Note lineup altogether, I didn't even know about this until I started searching for a new Galaxy note, considering you have to play for the S22U or S23U to get the S-Pen lol... So that's why I decided to get the Xiaomi instead.

My toddler cracked my Note 9 screen earlier this year and so i have just upgraded to the S23 Ultra after 4 years. This is my honest opinion:

The S23 Ultra is incredible and the improvements it brings to the table do just about outweigh the lack of SD card, Headphone jack and Iris scanner support. It is so pleasant and fluid to use and while just about everything has been improved i am most in love with the massive and silky smooth display, the ridiculously good battery life and the cameras which quite simply blow my trusty Note 9 out of the water.

Having said all of that... if my Note 9 wasn't broken i would have happily continued using it for at least another year. Yes it's no longer getting updates, but it is still extremely capable and actually includes more hardware features than any newer flagships seem to have. I do also miss the rear fingerprint scanner that i previously used to bring down the notifications no matter what app i was in.

In conclusion: if you have a Galaxy Note 9 that's still working well and in good condition, keep using it and treasure it while you still can! Save those pennies for the S24 or even the S25 if you can last that long. But if your Note 9 is broken i would not recommend buying the same phone again as support for it from various apps is only going to get worse while a new phone will have plenty of life for years to come

Owned my note 9 for 3 years now. I have had the battery changed.
Everytime i bhy myself a new tech 21 case for it, i tell myself next time i need a case ill upgrade my phone.
Ive bought 4 cases now due to wearing out. Still rocking my note 9

have just bought a used unit in superb condition. Soo happy and can't wait for it to arrive. Still come as fullset box with the original accessories in it just like when you buy the brand new on one of those old days after it just launched ❤

How is this video only one month old? It feels so much older then that

My Mom still has her Note 9 to this very day without any issues to speak of,l, even though I hardly see her using the S Pen much. But overall between this, the S10e, Note 10 Plus and Moro G Stylus, not to mention the 2020 Moro Razr, it’s really becoming hard to choose which of them to REALLY go for as an iPhone user that’s looking to switch as well as one looking to switch while on a budget.

I still use mine after almost 4 yrs. Hands down an amazing phone. My screen has cracked but i will use it until no longer works. Definitely looking forward to buy another one second hand as the new flagships are so expensive and lack a lot of features.

Its best phone ever with earphone jacks nd hand friendly size

I need note 9

Still rocking my Note 9 after 5 years. I still find it hard to justify upgrading to later models including the S23Ultra or even the upcoming S24. The only reason is the 2 day battery life but I work in the office where it’s always on a dock so…..I am getting greater joy seeing how long the Note 9 can last lol…

And thanks for reminding me of the iris scanner! I wear a face mask, and with my finger print scanner not as sensitive anymore (the coating scratched off), iris scanner solves the problem. Another reason to strive for note 9 immortality!

I've had a black Note 9 some years ago and it was such a beautiful device, I've then switched to OnePlus and I'm still with this brand. I'm definitely missing the stilus tho. Much love for the old but good Note 9 <3

I used a Note 9 512GB as my main phone until last week. I kept it for so long because it had a proper rectangular display with no hole, card slot, headphone jack, and also a ton of internal storage. I had a 1TB microSD card in it on top of the 512gb effectively making it a 1.5TB phone.

The only suitable replacement for me was the Sony Xperia 1 IV because it has a microSD card slot which I could put my existing card into and a 512GB storage option for my region unlike the V that is out now. It also has the headphone jack and a screen without any holes in it just like the Note 9. The only compromise is the loss of the S-Pen.

The Note 9 was the last good Samsung device in my view, and I would tell anyone who still has a Note 9 for the reasons I had one to not buy a new phone from Samsung. I did not want to reward Samsung for forcing downgrades onto me with their new generation of phones. Verizon kept spamming me to trade for a 128GB base S23 to replace my Note 9. Literally 1/10 the storage in the phone I was using, lower resolution screen with a disgusting hole camera, smaller, no S-Pen, or headphone jack. Then I see Samsung ads on Twitter to sell their trash folding phone and the ad literally said to buy it because it's a "flex" and "trendy". No thanks.

Why S22 Ultra Is Smooth And Higher Than Note 9

Pls bro how did you get that wallpaper

My Note9 from late 2018 still has 6 hrs 30 min of screen time, idk how, very nice phone. I wonder why they stopped putting cool features into smartphone because for the last last years no new smartphone makes me consider buying it.

I have a samsung note 10 like its super smooth good pictures and video quality. Not considering upgrade atleast for another 3 yrs unless i see major changes

Still best

Hey matthew I'm actually thinking in buy this phone used. Glad to see that you recently made this video. Thanks bro

I still love my Note 9. I replaced the battery some days ago, and had the problem, that the new battery was not charged to its rated voltage, so it didn't reach its full potential. There is a file where your battery cycles are saved in, which was about 1300 in my case. Samsung drops the final charging voltage when the cycle count is really high. The only way to edit this file and set it to 0 was to root the phone. So I dicided to install Noble ROM 3.6 with root support and man I love it. Also the reset of the charge counter gave me arround 400 mAh more capacity same as when the phone was new. With the new battery power and actual software it feels like a new phone. The only thing that is missing with this ROM is the iris scanner but no dealbreaker for me also Samsung pass does not work because of knox counter, but I use google now for that. But everthing else works fine. The fresh feel and snappiness was definetly worth it. I will hold on to this phone for some more years I think. I don't want to give up SD support, headphone jack or 1440p display and I am not ready to pay 1000+ bucks for a phone that lacks features that my old phone has.

Update ?

Rocking my Note 9 to watch this video! It is a great phone. When i look at a lot of new phones I say to myself, why upgrade? 🙂

I have both the Note 9 & 10. Love them both but the iris scanner on the 9 is more secure than face unlock on the 10.

Is it advisable to get this phone in 2023. Am Talking mostly for those who have a tight budget and want and old flagship over a newer budget phone 🤧

bought one to use daily as my new mid ranger broke down and dint feel like buying another mid ranger and new flagships are way overpriced, so a 60 euro note 9 will do much better than anything for 150 from store

I really love your videos an I would love to see a review of the note 10 plus in 2023

Commenting using my note9 and im using this phone 3 years and counting and this is amazing phone and sadly my battery needs to be replacing due to fast draining battery after another software update

I upgraded from my note 9 to the Oneplus 9 i regret it till this day. Im still on the Oneplus 9. Waiting for the next S24 Ultra and never going to go to other brands

I think s10 series or note 10 series were the best of all time.

As a Heavy Samsung User. I still held on to the note 9, but the screen is cracked, the battery has depleted to 95% when it hits start up and my S Pen has been damaged and unresponsive (I really dont use the S pen) that much anyways but; other than that; its still working and its still in use. I recommend this smartphone to be the most valuable and reliable android smartphone. Well done Samsung!!! Well Done!!!

my Note 9 and S9 are the best phones i ever using till now i never had any problems in these best phones as 5 years of using as i take care of these phones i have 1TB in Note 9

I need to buy a phone but under $150. I found two phones for that price. Which should I buy: 128 GB Galaxy A14 or 64 GB Galaxy S9? I want it for gaming so tell me which is better for gaming.

Haha my note 9 exynos still going strong Hoho already on its 3rd battery Hihi
