Samsung Galaxy Note9
From $1,499 samsung.com.au
Samsung has always gone big with its Note handsets, and we don’t just mean the 6.4-inch screen on offer in this year’s model. They’ve always pushed ahead on features and premium build, and the result is a phone that comes close to the iPhone X’s high price. So, is it worth it?
Built better
The Note9 feels dense and classy in the hand, without the plasticky feel some flagships have had this year. It’s no surprise that it feels solid, considering just how much is packed into a thin 8.8mm frame and more substantial 201g weight.
That’s no doubt thanks in part to its new 4,000mAh battery, which is a big increase over the 3,300mAh unit in the previous model, though we can’t blame Samsung for having been cautious there, given the Note’s colourful battery
