Which one is best for you?
The Galaxy Note9 matches the S9+ both in functionality and design, but if you want a Stylus Pen, more storage and a battery that survives the day with a single charge, then it’s worth upgrading to the Note9. And the new Water Carbon Cooling system makes the Note9 run cooler and reduces performance throttling when you’re gaming or watching a video.
The Note9 and S9+ both have dual aperture cameras. But the Note9 also has a Scene Optimiser so your camera automatically recognises subjects and landscapes, even in low light environments.
Use an HDMI cable to plug the Note9 directly into a monitor and use the screen as a touchpad and keyboard. Unlike the S9+, Note9 doesn’t require a dedicated Dex unit to transform your phone into a minimalist computer.
