Samsung Galaxy Note 9\u2019s Build and Design<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Decades back, the term phablet was born, and it is used to describe phones with a screen size between that of a regular smartphone and a tablet. It gained a negative reputation for being too big for hands to hold and for not being pocket-friendly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung, being one of the pioneering manufacturers of phablets, did not disappoint the world by releasing the <\/span>Galaxy Note<\/span><\/i> series, which we know are truly remarkable when it comes to design and build quality.\u00a0<\/span>And this year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 made its debut. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just like it\u2019s predecessors, the outer parts of Galaxy Note 9 is made with glass and accented with aluminum; it has smooth curves at its edges really identical to the former Galaxy Note 8. Its outer appearance is polished with three different colors— Ocean Black, Midnight Blue, and Metallic Copper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its height is 6.4 inches- having an almost bezel-less Super AMOLED \u00a0screen display.<\/span><\/p>\n

The processor of this device is the Google Android version 8.1 Oreo. It\u2019s a total bummer because Android Pie was already released before its debut, and that could have added more features and security. <\/span><\/p>\n

The sim slots of this are in dual nano sim or it could be a hybrid (one nano sim and one micro SD card).<\/span><\/p>\n

The S pen in Note 9 is now connected via Bluetooth, and it has added functions, too. It can control the camera, pause videos, and much more. It is located at the base of the phone together with the 3.0 mm headphone jack and a USB type- C cable port.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the back is its dual camera; having 12 mp for the main camera is not bad but still lacking compared to humungous models of other smartphone manufacturers. Its front camera is only in 8MP, which\u00a0<\/span>is also a big thumbs down. <\/span><\/p>\n

We expected the price of this device to be justified by its camera\u2019s finesse. You can get a better camera with other flagship phones for the same price. <\/span><\/p>\n

The internal storage of this phone is in 256 GB and can be increased up to 512 GB, making it perfect for storing pictures, videos, and files for keeps from this holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n

This phablet rivals the iPhone Xs Max in terms of price but if you\u2019ll look into the specs and features between the two, major differences can be seen. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note 9 and Xs Max have main cameras both in 12 mp. However, Note 9\u2019s front camera is 8MP while the Xs Max only has 7MP. That\u2019s a slight difference in numbers but a huge difference in picture quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, besides being a little bit cheaper compared to the two, Huawei\u2019s Mate 20 leave a huge gap in the camera aspects, having 24 mp in its front camera, but having only a 12MP main camera. <\/span><\/p>\n

The only edge the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has it its improved S-pen.<\/p>\n

Conclusion <\/b><\/p>\n

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, is one of the most powerful phones out in the market today. You\u2019ll never go wrong with an 8GB RAM in any day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Whether you use this phablet for work or for just having fun, this phablet could be the perfect gift to yourself for this year\u2019s holiday season. <\/span><\/p>\n
