Need your help in buying a new phone. I'm torn between note9 and xs. The price of the iphone is just way too high and I've been an android user ever since. I do have a MacBook pro and iPad air. i think this is the best time to get an iPhone but I'm not sure about the price and how it performs. Pls help planning to buy this week. Thanks in advance
SquadBoi, 29 Dec 2018No S845 is proven to be the more efficient and more powerful chipset of the twoThe Note 9 review unit is Exynos with 97H battery endurance rating.
SD 845 maybe more efficient, I don't know, but Exynos is faster & I'm very happy with battery performance, which has always lasted me more than 24h (the highest duration that I've achieved so far is 2d 16h with 5% (2h 29min) left, 8h 59m 43% of the battery used on Screen time, so yeah it should easily last anyone a day, and I'm sure this is the case with the SD version too).
Snapdragon's Adreno 630 GPU has the upper hand with graphics.
Both are great in handling heavy multitasking & heavy apps without a slowdown.
Performance: Synthetic benchmarks:

Loved you review. I have (gulp) a Galaxy S5. The camera is a 16MP so I was wondering why the step backwards to a 12MP? I now the pixels are bigger so the dynamic range is better but there is less detail on the note 9 vs the s5, perhaps the s5 is just special?
You have tested the exynos versione or snapdragon version?

Dear Samsung,
We purchased this phone without knowing of Bixby dedicated (Extra) Button and your Bixby stuff. Bixby is not in a mature at this stage, especially for India English. I don't know how dare Samsung forcefully trying to push us to use this immatured Bixby.
This button /feature is uncomfortable due to the Accidental pressing of this dedicated Bixby button. Accidentally pressings due to the location of the button. it quite opposite side of power/lock button.
I am begging Samsung to give the option to disable it if the customer doesn't want to use it. Alternatively, please suggest any app to disable this feature, I will ready to pay you!! In previous versions of Note, there is a provision to disable..
First of all, Voice based commanding/assistant systems introduced to operate the phone without touch the phone. Why should we have the extra button to activate such Voice assistant.
Pros:
1. Its one of good product in all aspects
2. Met our expectation
3. Bluetooth based S Pen
Cons:
1. Price is high
2. Samsung forcefully pushing us to use BIXBY. Sadly, no option to disable the Bixby button.
Bought it couple of weeks ago, amazing phone, flawless performance so far. Only concern is the front facing camera sucks in low light. it is due to samsung camera software. Note9 has got the best hardware just need to improve on post image processing like google pixel.
The battery is unbelievable, I am a heavy user and I am astonished at its longevity.
my rating: 9/10
