Samsung Galaxy Note 9 hands-on preview: $1000 well spent Here are the specs Like past Notes before it, the Galaxy Note 9 is packed to the gills with all of the latest available tech. That means it has the latest processor, a massive battery, an insane amount of RAM, and much more. Here are all the specs you can look forward to.

With the Note 9, Samsung's going all the way with a seriously huge 4,000 mAh pack. It's being touted that the Note 9 will offer XX hours of use on a single charge, and while we'll certainly need to put the phone through its paces to see how accurate that claim is, we've got high hopes considering the battery's size and power efficiency of the Snapdragon 845. When you do finally drain the Note 9, you'll be able to top it up via wired and wireless fast charging. Should you upgrade from the Note 8? As exciting as the Galaxy Note 9 is shaping up to be, last year's Note 8 is still one heck of a smartphone. The Note 9 offers the expected improvements in regards to RAM, camera performance, etc., but really gets a strong edge over its predecessor thanks to its improved S Pen and a massive battery. Then again, if you already have the Note 8 and don't feel like throwing down $900 (?) on a new phone, maybe upgrading isn't the right move for you? Let Andrew break everything down for you in his comparison of the Note 8 and Note 9 How's it compare to other phones? That's fine and dandy, but how's the Note 9 hold up against other non-Note devices? Without a doubt, one of the Note 9's biggest competitors comes from Samsung itself with the Galaxy S9+. A lot of features are shared between the two phones, including a large Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 845, Samsung's custom software, excellent dual cameras, and more. The Note 9 is obviously the only one of the two that uses the S Pen, but is that reason enough to make the pricey upgrade? Similarly, there are still plenty of other phones that are scheduled to come out before 2018 is over — most importantly the Google Pixel 3 XL. Rumors and leaks are hinting at a phone with considerably slimmer bezels, an even better camera package, and an all-glass back (not to mention the ginormous notch). Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs. Galaxy S9+ Should you buy the Galaxy Note 9 or wait for the Google Pixel 3 XL? A lot is new with the S Pen The S Pen is easily the biggest reason so many people flock to the Note series year after year, and this time around, Samsung's giving the S Pen one of its biggest upgrades in years. For the first time, Samsung's adding Bluetooth Low Energy to the S Pen. With this new connectivity, the S Pen picks up a heap of new features that allow you to control the Note 9 from a distance. Some use cases include being able to use the S Pen and its button as a camera shutter, navigating through presentations, and more. The presence of Bluetooth also means this is the first S Pen to have a battery, and as with all things that have a battery, the S Pen will need to be charged. Thankfully, seeing as how the S Pen seamlessly charges in the background when stored inside the Note 9, this shouldn't ever prove to be an issue of any sort. Get the official wallpapers right here!
