The Galaxy Note series has been known as the flagship class phablet which always brings capabilities that are not much different from the Galaxy S which usually first appears. Thus, Galaxy Note always offers the best quality in all sectors owned.
Like the physical changes from the Galaxy S8 to S9, you will see the difference in the physical dimension of Note9 when compared to its predecessor, Note8. But the very minimal physical dimension difference will only be realized directly if both are arranged side by side.
Like the Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung also repositioned the fingerprint scanner on Samsung Galaxy Note9 to a relatively more comfortable and natural place. Previously this sensor was lined up with 2 main camera lenses, LED flash and heart rate sensors. Now the fingerprint scanner is under the line. Makes it easier to reach considering the size of the cellphone body is "big". The rest, a number of ports, buttons, to the speaker and microphone, are in the same place as when we met on Note8.
The decision to maintain the Samsung Galaxy Note8 design broadly certainly invites pros and cons. Haters will say that Samsung has run out of ideas in terms of design innovation, otherwise the fans of this Korean manufacturer will argue that this is proof that Samsung has a strong identity and principle so that there is no need to carry the flow of market trends, such as bangs or back cover with gradation colors. .
For this reason we are inclined to the second opinion, without denying that even design innovations are no less important than a number of technologies embedded in a product. Note9 that we tested was Ocean blue, with a bright yellow S-Pen. Besides this color variant, Note9 also comes in 2 other color choices, namely Metallic copper and Midnight black.
Regarding the screen, this section is larger than its predecessor. It's just that the difference is only 0.1 inches certainly does not give a significant impact, especially the maximum resolution offered is still the same as before, namely WQHD + (1440x2960 ??pixels). This of course automatically makes the pixel density of this phone more tenuous than its predecessor, but in plain view it does not feel a decrease in the quality of sharpness in the screen display.
In general, the Samsung Galaxy Note9 screen still shows the appropriate quality of what is expected to be in a flagship product. While the brightness, contrast and saturation can be adjusted to the user's taste through the Screen Mode setting that provides a selection of Adaptive displays, AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo and Basic.
The Adaptive display option will automatically make the screen optimize the range of colors, saturation and sharpness of the image according to the graphic character that is displayed on the screen. Users who switch from previous Samsung Galaxy S Series or Note generations to this cellphone will certainly not feel unfamiliar with the presentation presented on the Samsung Experience interface version 9.5 which binds Note9's Android Oreo (8.1).
Homescreen is presented simply with several default application icons, which of course can be added with the user's favorite applications. Bixby Home is available on the far left panel on the Homescreen. This area displays a number of information that is considered important to the user. All information presented based on the user's choice and the "machine learning" process by a smart virtual assistant, Bixby.
Like the ranks of Samsung's flagship class that is filled with Galaxy S and Note Series products for the next 3 generations, the Edge Panel feature is available on Note9. By default, this feature can be accessed by sweeping from the right side of the screen to the center. Edge Panel provides several function options including Edge Apps (displays a number of favorite application shortcuts), People Edge (displays important contact information), Reminder (contains schedules stored on the calendar), Weather, Quick Tools (brings a number of functions, such as compass, flashlight, rulers and others), as well as some other functions of Edge Panels.
One of the most noticeable innovations on the latest generation of Galaxy Note is the additional function that Samsung pinned on the S-Pen. Previously the S-Pen already had a number of functions that made it far from just an ordinary stylus. On this latest generation S-Pen, Samsung utilizes Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) technology to make remote connections with Note9. Thus the user can use the S-Pen to control the Note 9 remotely (up to 10 meters).
Control functions that can be used include, as a remote shutter to take photos, remote to pause videos played on YouTube, replace slides when making presentations and so on. Users can even make settings so that the buttons on the S-Pen can be used as shortcuts to directly open certain applications. By default, by holding down the button on the S-Pen, Note9 will make it
Besides Translate, Air Command gives a number of options by default, including Notes, Smart Select, Screen Write, and Pen Up. Users can even add features or application shortcuts to Air Command.
One of the most interesting features that we often use during the testing period is Live Message that allows users to create messages with the .gif format, which contains handwriting, pictures and photos with unlimited creativity.
Unlike its predecessor, the S-Pen on Samsung Galaxy Note9 needs power for its Bluetooth function so it must be charged. But no need to be skeptical first, because to charge the S-Pen, users just need to enter the slot that is available for 40 seconds to get power to be used for 30 minutes. The S Pen battery indicator can be seen through Settings> Advance features> S Pen> S Pen Remote.
Samsung Galaxy Note9 smartphone is equipped with a dual main camera with 12 MP configuration (wide angle, dual pixel super speed, dual aperture) + 12 MP (Telephoto, F / 2.4) plus dual OIS (optical image stabilization) support on the back. While on the front side, Note9 carries an 8MP camera with an F / 1.7 opening.

If you notice, the camera specifications like this are exactly what Samsung Galaxy S9 + brought. Although similar in the hardware sector, but on the software side, Samsung equipped Note9 with a number of new features, including the Scene Optimizer and Flaw Detection.
The Scene Optimizer will identify photo elements, such as scenes and objects and then apply the settings according to the photo elements for optimal photo results. The Note9 camera algorithm can detect up to 20 different scene categories, ranging from Food, Portrait, Flower, Indoor, Animals, Sky, Mountain and so on.
To enable this feature, users can access Camera Settings by clicking the gear icon on the camera interface, then slide the Scene optimizer option to the On position. While Flaw Detection will detect if the photo results are not as desired, for example one of the people who are blinking photo objects, blurred photos, dirty lenses or backlight.
Furthermore, a number of features on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + also appear in Note9, such as AR Emoji, Dual Aperture, Live Focus and Super Slo-Mo. In the hardware sector, the majority of the Note9 brought to the kitchen is the same as we encountered when reviewing the Galaxy S9 and S9 +, especially on the SoC (System on Chip) used, including the CPU and GPU configurations.
Of course not all sectors on Samsung Galaxy Note9 hardware copy from Samsung Galaxy S9 or Samsung Galaxy S9 +. Although the screen is only slightly wider, but the support of power capacity is increased by a significant amount. From the previous 3300mAh on Note8 to 4000mAh on this phone. This means that there is an increase of around 17.5% in the power sector and that is not a small number for a cellphone battery.
Not enough, there is a large increase in other sectors, namely memory, both RAM and internal storage space. Samsung Galaxy Note9 is the first of the Samsung Galaxy's flagship class that has a choice of 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, internal storage space also offers a choice of up to 512GB, plus a microSD slot that can read up to 512GB of memory cards, meaning users can get up to 1TB of storage space.
No doubt if Note9 is one of the best products on the market. Even though the competition in the flagship class was very heavy in line with the rapid technological advances applied, Note9, which was positioned as a regular flagship phablet, had a big advantage considering that Galaxy Note was the only choice in that category.
