Galaxy Note 9 - ALMOST Perfect...

Honestly, phone reviews have become somewhat of a routine for me, first I switch to the device completely and then use it as my daily driver for between two to six weeks keeping a Google document where I write down anything that finally bothers me when en It's time to write the review, I sit down with my list of annoyances, cross out all the ones that were resolved by software updates or experience, and then create the script that I'll eventually read to you like, well, the Galaxy Note 9 is breaking down. My formula here because this is all I have, so let's see if we can complete that in about seven minutes.

Pubg Mobile is a free Battle Royale game for Android and iOS.

For me it is the Bixby button. Now I assumed there would be first-party support for turning it off again, but for some reason Samsung at the time we're recording this removed that option altogether, although I don't actually hate Bixby. It runs locally on the device, which means that in addition to additional functionality that other assistants can't handle, like running voice macros, it's noticeably faster for transactions like turning on the flashlight, but that's a double-edged sword because, compared to Google Assistant. which runs in the cloud, Bixby is still over a year later and much less likely to understand me.

The fingerprint sensor has been moved to the center, like on the s9 series, but I didn't really notice it much since I ended up using smart scan. Anyway, Samsung's unique combination of iris scanning and facial recognition most of the time, now we're at the part of the video where I usually list a bunch of specs, but this time it's a little complicated which processor you have under the hood . your

note

9 will actually depend on your region now the good news is it doesn't really matter too much we only have one so we couldn't do a direct comparison but basically the snapdragon 845 adreno gpu is stronger for your gamer while that Samsung's internal tuning of the exynos 9810 CPU seems to give it the edge on that side of things, honestly, although we're splitting on this point and Samsung knows it, they barely talked about performance in their key

because the phones have We basically succumbed to the same Moore's Law failure we've been dealing with on the PC side for the last five years, so whether you're running a Note 9 or a Oneplus 6 for literally half the price, you can expect basically the same. performance in your pocket at least from idle now, the water cooling marketing nonsense, aside from the big heat pipe Samsung is using in the Note 9, actually results in relatively little speedup even in CPU intensive tasks and I think that's the most notable thing. about the note 9. not specifically the heat pipe, but the fact that it's bigger than yours and they managed to squeeze the stylus in, the 4000 milliamp hour battery which is big enough that even with the weird discharge bug of battery that I have sometimes still made it through the day, they put basically everything in this phone other notable inclusions up to eight gigs of lpddr4 memory which is in the 512 gig storage version water resistance ip68 NFC high speed wireless charging microsd expansion a headphone jack and samsung stereo speakers by the The way its spectacular OLED HDR displays and flexible audio connectivity continues to deliver hands-down the best movie-watching experience on mobile devices, so this is what

always happens when I'm working on a phone review because I actually changed them as my only phone.

You know it had the phone x form factor with the phone y features and the phone z camera or something, more recently I was working on my full review of the oppo find which doesn't have nfc, i mean apparently it's not a big deal in china, but i use nfc for two factor authentication very regularly, it was a real bummer for me and going back to the note 9, the camera hasn't changed much. since the s9 series, but that's not really a terrible thing, its low-light performance is still outstanding and everything from well-lit indoor photography to more challenging scenarios such as low-light videos turned out as well as you would expect from any phone smart badge today. new s pen with bluetooth, since I'm not really a stylist, it's mainly a useful little bonus, you know you can write on the screen even when it's off, I guess it's cool, but overall I didn't find many occasions to use it, even including The remote camera shutter functionality that said, I hope there are some really cool things coming out of the s pen once the SDK arrives until then, assuming you can afford one because it's not cheap, the note 9 will have to settle for just being the zero commitment smartphone a designation I have never given to any other handheld thanks to pubg mobile for sponsoring today's video pubg mobile is the official mobile version of playerunknown's battlegrounds is a free battle royale game available for android and ios where One hundred players can participate Parachute to a remote island for a winner-take-all showdown Is powered by the Unreal Engine Features intuitive, customizable controls Has high-definition audio and more, so try other PUBG arcade modes like Mini war mode zone and quick matches by downloading it today in the link in the video description so thanks for watching guys if you didn't like this video you can press that button but if you liked it please press like or subscribe or maybe Consider checking where to buy the things we present in the link in the video description. that you are a crazy gamer, also down there is our merch store, that's right, down there, which has t-shirts like I think this one, yeah, and our community forum, and you should join it.
