About Galaxy Note 9
The thing that differentiates Galaxy Note series from any other phone is its Stylus Pen or S Pen. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is no different. This time they even made the Stylus Bluetooth integrated. This means you can use the Stylus as a button or remote control e.g. while sliding through your powerpoint presentation. With the Samsung Dex feature, you can connect your Note 9 to a monitor and turn it into a PC alike device. Even use it with a beamer to show your presentation directly via your phone. You can create or save your files to Google Drive and open them from there. There are tons of possibilities with Note 9 which makes it special. But they are beyond the scope of this review. For now, let us just describe the few other important stuff in this device.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 comes with 5th generation gorilla glass on the front and back. The frames are made of aluminum. It means the phone is totally solid on the outside. 6.4-inch qHD Super AMOLED display is one of its kind and defines pure elegance. Powerful 6 GB RAM, up to 2.7 GHz octa-core CPU, high-speed 4G LTE and Mali G72 MP18 GPU makes it a super powerhouse for all kinds of computing purpose. But let's face it. Android is not yet even close to a Windows OS for PC. It will still not be able to run complex games and software made for PC. But it will surely give you the best of the Android experience. The water-carbon cooling system will prevent overheating while gaming and you may experience no lag. Dual 12 MP back camera packed with tons of features is excellent for mobile photography and recording 4K videos. The front camera is also clear and bright even in low light conditions. The battery should last one whole day for regular users and the phone is also waterproof. You can't really complain about anything about this phone except that it doesn't have the foldable screen yet.
