Personally I love the Note series, they have always been very useful if you take a lot of notes ( ) at work. Plus the battery life is usually pretty amazing. I think I'm probably going to pick one of these up.
I like the look of the S-Pen personally, it looks like a graphite pencil.
but the man at the at&t store told me the phone was only $40 a month

4000 mAh doesn't seem like enough for this phone. Will it even last a day?
Depends on the kind of person you are, I like to get a flagship and use it until I can't use it anymore.
Answered your own question here tbh
Yeahno I'm happy with my LG V20. At least LG still supports their flagships even after they aren't flagships anymore.
And I can remove my battery easily. :V
Best thing to do with flagships is buy them st least a year after they come out. Still plenty powerful but the price is way more attractive.
Thats another thing.
My X compact had oreo before a few flagships that started on nougat, and it had started on marshmallow.
It also didn't cost car money.
Damn, just got a note8.
Gotta say I got that for 600+-, not going to spend a 1000,- on a phone.
I just wait a few years and get an "old" flagship model.
I do loooove the stylus.
For those in graphic design: the stylus from the note 8 (and I presume/hope the note 9 aswell) has been designed in co-operation with Wacom, a leader in digital pen tablets.
Love sketching on this thing, add in that Autodesk Sketchbook is now fully free for the pro version, and the newest note series is a great tool for a digital designer.
Well you're right, it technically isn't. If pre-2007 hasn't shown this already, your average phone had the bare minimum. Nowadays calling or texting is just another feature on top of playing graphically intensive games, taking usable photos the phones camera, having high quality speakers, etc.
I spent £15 on my phone.
My phone does almost as good at almost half the price: Compare OnePlus 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 9
If you're willing to pay 400+ dollars more for thngs you mostly won't notice + an sd-slot then go ahead and get that note 9.
Stil happy to run with my Note 3 for now, best phone I've had so far.
I dunno why people are struggling with this idea so much. The idea of the Galaxy Note series and similar devices is to replace a laptop for people who don't really need a full computer for their job. Journalists, bloggers, video producers, etc. who don't need things like Photoshop or anything other Adobe suite tools. Professionals who just need to assemble a presentation, or dick around with other document types.
Rather than lugging multiple devices around, just buy this one device that really does do all of that, and well. The desktop mode should really be the biggest giveaway that these are meant to be PDA like things, not just "powerful phones".
S-pen is underrated if you take a lot of notes throughout the day.
I love my Note 8 and the Note 9 looks great but not big enough changes to want to buy a new phone.
Can't wait to see what they do for the Note10. I feel like they will do some major stuff.
$1000 USD for a throwaway phone
Fuck off.
I'd rather have this than any laptop
If I could get this free or a laptop that is thrice the price for free, I'd still get this. It does everything that the laptop would do except I can fit it in my pocket.
If anything, it does far more than a laptop.
Ah yes, when your batteries die in 2 years or less and the vast majority of the population throw it away rather than repairing it.
The whole smartphone industry is throwaway.
At least you can change the batteries in the most laptops with relative ease than a smartphone.
The battery problem certainly is a huge issue, that I can admit to
I'm somewhat accepting of non-remove-able if its a high enough quality phone and battery
I got my S9+ for half off, I didn't even intend on upgrading tbh, had my S7 for a while already.
Half off then sold my S7, so it came out to 200-300 bucks for a new phone. Though the new note is a monster looking phone.
I'm just looking forward to the new Galaxy watch, I haven't got into the smart watch market yet, but I might do it now.
I personally would take a phone that trades water resistance for a removeable battery anyday. But that doesnt make the mulah.
It just is bullshit that its okay for them to make phones that last 2 years or less, especially when they cost $2000 here. Its awfully convenient that the batteries get hot and die after a year or two.
Hell, my gf bought a new phone and the battery is fucked after 9 months, and mine after about a year and a half. And its still hard to get genuine battery repairs.
I asked around and 25 euro for maintaining your phone in great shape after 2 years is a considerable amount.
I really don't understand what people do to their phones that the batteries get fucked after a year or so...
Using it as GPS as a courier every workday, using the airco in the car, getting out and taking your phone into the hot sun, rinse, repeat.
Also whilst charging at times.
I think fucks my batteries usually.
Oh, hence why my phones usually last a whole lot...
design faults, overheating combined with suboptimal use.
Its more than just taking care of it, most phones get insanely hot while charging. And the battery tech drops off massively in 200 cycles which can easily be used in a year.
There are plenty of non-flagship phones for much cheaper prices.
I would personally never buy a phone that I can't easily pop the battery out of it.
Why?
Because it's a computer, and computers lock up. And sometimes, they lock up so hard that you have to cycle the power. On a computer, that's the hard reset button. On a phone, that's popping the battery.
I've had my phone for about 4 years now, and in those 4 years, I have had it lock up so hard that I need to pull the battery about 7 times. And when I say "lock up hard", I mean "the reboot key-button combination doesn't register" hard.
