I've been really impressed by the Galaxy
Note nine so far my favorite Android
phone is the Google pixel too but I've
been really impressed with it for a
couple different reasons I think it's a
really powerful phone if this was your
only device you didn't have a laptop you
don't have a tablet you just had this
you would be totally fine I mean the
combination of the large screen and the
stylus as well it just lets me like feel
more comfortable doing things on the
phone that I would normally say for like
a computer or a laptop so talking about
the screen this is a Samsung screen
which means it's the best in the
business I never really understood they
need to have a huge OLED display I was
like mine's fine I don't need it until I
started to use this and I was like how
would this screen is amazing watching
videos on this thing is unreal I didn't
really mind at the top and bottom bottom
bezel I thought that that was fine I was
glad that Samsung did not include a
notch on this phone in terms of like the
size of the phone it's a big phone
obviously it's not for everyone
right but yeah it's not a one-handed
phone but I thought that it was
relatively easy to use it's not
unmanageable for people with smaller
hands I think I'm actually on the note 9
and it's massive screen I'm actually
using the Android multitasking thing and
I was like wow like I'm watching a
youtube video while talking to people
and I was like wow this is working and I
got the S Pen it's like wow this works
really well it's doing two things at
once
I'm doing two things at once do you find
yourself using the bixby button and do
you find yourself using bixby at all
I find myself accidentally pressing the
Bigsby button while I'm watching a
YouTube video and being frustrated that
the Bigsby button is there what about
the camera yeah I tried it against the
Google pixel too and I was really
impressed like I think this phone
actually like competes with the pixel to
like it's actually closest competitor to
the pixel to his camera to of the really
standout features of this camera in my
opinion are the zoom which I was really
impressed by it's really nice to have
when you do need it and this is like the
best zoom that I've seen on a recent
smartphone the other thing that I think
is really cool is the dual aperture and
I noticed that when you were taking
photos in low light that it really was
it blew
right kind of the initial thought that I
had about this phone was it could suit
two types of people really well and one
of them is you know a person who has a
really crazy job as the kind of on the
road a lot needs a lot of a really
powerful phone it's like a lot of
battery life you know a lot of storage
space but it would also be really good
for someone who wants this to be like
their whole world samsung updated the
stylus a little bit this year and it can
now act as a remote so there's a button
on the stylus you can press it and it
will take a photo from a distance I can
put you through a PowerPoint
presentation and I think that's really
cool I think it's cool I don't know how
many people will use it I don't think
it's like oh my god I'd buy this phone
because of this feature kind of thing
you know what about this storage the
base model comes with I think as a 128
gigabytes and then it can go up to 512
gigabytes inside this phone which is
more than my macbook pro has and then if
you want you could add another 512
gigabytes of storage through the microSD
slot that's a total of a terabyte of
storage one terabyte of storage that's
more than most computers come with so
one of the really cool features of the
galaxy note 9 is this thing that Samsung
calls decks which allows you to use the
phone as a computer basically the X does
look pretty cool
Samsung presented this little dongle
that you connected to the phone's USB C
plug and then you can connect it to HDMI
to a monitor and you're basically have
desktop operating system it kind of
looks like Windows maybe a little bit I
haven't tried it yet I think it could be
cool as you'd expect you know it's a
high-end Android phone it comes with USB
see it also comes with a fast charger
two headphone jack headphone jack please
it does have some bloatware but honestly
it's really not that bad the one thing
you did it came with which I don't like
at all is the Facebook app and I can't
delete it from this phone I guess one
thing I'm not a fan of is the price tag
$1000 I still think four figure of price
tags for a smart phone is a little much
but I think it makes a lot more sense on
the galaxy note 9
than in dust for the iPhone X it's has
more functionality you can do more on it
and more with it great I think spending
$1000 on this is much more justified I
think that it makes me feel much more
productive I think I can get a lot more
done at once if I was ready to switch
away from an iPhone I would strongly
consider this before I was only pixel
was the only other option that I would
consider now this is this is in the
running I would give it a chance
great phone fully recommended would buy
if I had more money sort of on par with
I would say like Siri mm-hmm yeah not
better not worse yeah
