Now that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is official and available for pre-order, potential buyers have some tough choices to make. Buy something like the S9+ or Galaxy Note 8 now, or wait for Samsung’s new phone. Or wait and pay more for the latest Galaxy.
In this guide, we’ll go over everything you need to know about the Galaxy Note 9 and how it compares to the Note 8. That way you’ll know if the Note 9 is worth the wait and higher price.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 and it will hit shelves and retail stores on August 24. If you’re considering pre-ordering or buying one, here are all the improvements this year. Longer battery life, bigger screen, new and advanced S-Pen and more.
The Galaxy Note 8 is still a great phone. It’s not even a year old, it runs the latest Android 8.0 Oreo and takes great pictures with the dual rear cameras. Basically, if you need a phone right now, you’ll love the Note 8. However, if you can wait a few more weeks and you can afford the Note 9, there are a few big changes worth considering.
Both of these phones have big screens, two cameras and an S-Pen stylus. Not to mention more features than one would ever need. If all you care about is a big screen, both phones are a great choice. However, the Note 9 is larger and has a 6.4-inch screen compared to 6.3-inch. That said, the big screen isn’t all these phones have to offer.
And given that they look almost identical, some buyers won’t even be able to tell the difference. A lot is changing though, and these are the changes you’ll want to know about. Like the new location of the fingerprint scanner, new S-Pen features or the bigger battery. Note 9 will have better battery life than any other Note.
For those trying to decide between the Galaxy Note 9 and something else, we’re here to help. The slideshow below will compare all aspects of the Note 9 and Note 8 to help you choose the best one for you.
