One of the biggest reasons to still use this phone in 2022 is the custom ROM support. Tons of developers chose to support this phone because of its unique set of features so if you want up-to-date Android features and security patches then you have way more options than basically any other 4+ year old Android smartphone.
Personally I use iodéOS, which is comparable to CalyxOS in its blend of privacy and functionality. With the Note 9 being one of the main devices iodé support, I will likely be using it for a couple of more years at least and hit the 5 year goal I set when I bought it.
The headphone jack was the worse thing they ever removed..........I do not like wireless earbuds.....makes no sense to me. I have wired headphones and i don't waste time having to charge them and the quality stays the same.......
ОтветитьI'm saving up fir this phone
ОтветитьJust brought a new note 9🎉😂
ОтветитьHmm. What was that drawing.
ОтветитьSix inches is more than enough 😜
Ответитьi dropped mine....
ОтветитьUgh, CANNOT AGREE MORE! Thank you for verbalizing my thoughts so clearly. I'm on my yearly search for a replacement for my Note 9, and there is still NOTHING out there that compares.
I would be happy to pay absolute TOP TOP TOP prices (as expensive as anything out there) to have headphone jack, stylus, expandable storage, back fingerprint sensor)..., but instead I'm going to probably buy my 2nd note 9 for $300 on Amazon, figure out how to custom ROM Android 13, and keep going.
I refuse to purchase a new phone for more money that has LESS of what I want. Maybe if enough of us do it, Samsung will listen and finally give us a flagship phone with the features we want. Or maybe some up and coming phone company will see this as a chance to come in and corner a neglected segment of the market! Ah to dream
I use the note 20 ultra atm and the note 9 was the phone I always wanted. I just so hellbent on getting latest updates to be honest. Also I would say this is the most complete Samsung phone ever. If the note 7 didn’t explode like it did I think it would have been the peak Samsung phone of all time
ОтветитьMy S7 gave out on me so I needed a replacement. The Note 9 is the only phone I can actually tolerate right now that doesn't cost $1000, so I overpaid for one that's hopefully new.
Sony seems to be killing it in this regard. I REALLY wanted to get the Xperia 5 IV which seems perfect (S Pen notwithstanding). But the price...considering how much I make and how likely it is that I'd get robbed here...Note 9 FTW
Try the Sony Xperia 1 series, it got all the features you want.
ОтветитьYou make such a good argument. I don’t detect a hint of fanboyism. Quite refreshing ❤
This is exactly how I feel about modern smartphones.
My battery swelling take away my waterproof feature so now I can just as easily replace my battery and go one with my lovely baby. I thought about buying a Samsung S23ultra but since I now have to buy charger and headset from a seller(yes I use Bluetooth headset but always want to have a wired one next to me to just pop it in and go on using it) It kinda feels like it might be fake and be a fire hazard or something and just makes me uncomfortable. So Note20Ultra5g came to my mind.... but then why? Really! I have my iris scanner my LED indicator ( I love love love love it) and many other amazing features. So no thanks. I will wait for a merchandise that is fit to my taste. And if that doesn't come out well I'm gonna keep using my Note9 till I absolutely have to let it go.
ОтветитьI bought a samsung galaxy note 9 in 2019, now it's the end of 2023, my charging port doesn't work (I charge it through a power bank with the possibility of wireless charging), the back cover is broken, it's completely covered in scratches, the battery holds 2-3 hours of screen time and that's everything does not make me buy a new phone. but lately the upper speaker has started to feel bad and I often can't hear the interlocutor well, and when listening to media content it stopped working altogether....
start looking to buy a replacement and for a whole year I've been looking, waiting.. and can't find a phone worth my upgrade.
I think between such phones as: sony xperia 1 iv, samsung galaxy s23, iphone 13 pro. in my country, the price at which you can buy these phones is about the same for me. I still think I'll stick with Sony, because compared to other phones, I like it the most, but on the other hand, it's not a bad option for an iPhone, but I'm not sure that iOS will suit me as an operating system. samsung galaxy s23 is simply one of the most affordable non-stressful options for me after the note 9, but a rather boring option. In short, everything is very difficult, I am in despair and lost.
sony xperia is the new phone you're looking for
ОтветитьFR. its still my little baby in my heart. i upgraded to an s23 ultra and i miss using my note 9. luckily its MY note 9 so i still have her
ОтветитьYour phone isn’t waterproof. It’s water resistant. And that water resistance fades as years go by. Get the battery replaced, and replace the water seal.
ОтветитьI'm sticking with my s20 ultra before this I had s10 plus
ОтветитьI couldn't agree more. I'm still using my note 9 since 2018, the battery is dying, but all the features this phone has, makes me keep it as it is.
ОтветитьMy N9 is not holding a charge. I have adjusted settings and still does not help. Any suggestions?
ОтветитьIm eyeballing an S9 plus , to complete my N9.
ОтветитьI just wanted the note 10 be to a 9 with a on screen fingerprint scanner.
I had my note 8 for years until it finally died. I got a note 9 soon after. With a cracked screen I am tempted to get a new phone. I am in the market for a new phone, but without the headphone jack or without a stylist then everything is a downgrade.
I finally upgraded to the Note 20 and we've been huffing copium. This phone is leagues better
ОтветитьI used to love the note 9 upgraded to the s22 ultra binned it off and have a brand new note9 on the way
ОтветитьI have the 8 and 10 plus
I love them both!
samsung note 8 just as good as the note 9
ОтветитьWhat about security updates?
ОтветитьSamsung note 9 till this day is my favourite smartphone ever..❤❤❤
ОтветитьIt's a solid phone. I have a Z4 fold now and don't regret upgrading at all. I feel like people who base an entire phone off of something as trivial as a headphone jack or SD card slot are sinliar to the old man yelling at the sky about how things "used to be". I had a 512g N9 at launch and in the many years (in electronic years lol) I owned it I never filled it up. Never purchased an SD.
ОтветитьMy dad’s girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy note 9 her screen is cracked. It has a lot of burn in but she still holds out and won’t get a new phone 😂
ОтветитьI have to agree this is the best Samsung phone ever made, hands down.
Right now there’s no a truly successor to this gem. Same thing with the S10 the last of its kind.
Probably the only smartphone that could replace the Note 9 in current market is the Xperia 1 V ONLY IF you are willing to sacrifice the S-pen.
Headphone jack, micro SD support, gorgeous display, really good battery and thermals, superb manual cameras, and NO notch just like the Note 9.
But that’s expensive AF.
Sony Xperia has sd, headphone, up rating fyi....
ОтветитьAgree with your thesis, but you're wrong about waterproofing. Note 9 is not waterproof. It has water resistance but even that is not covered by a warranty. It's really no peace of mind and Samsung ended up having to pay a huge settlement for exaggerating the protection that an IP rating provides. I agree with your overall thesis but you're definitely falling for some marketing nonsense when it comes to so-called waterproofing
Ответитьwatertight seal degrade so just replace your battery
ОтветитьAlmost 5 years using my note with 1tb storage (512gb internal and 512gb microsd card) 8gb ram. Only downside is I have burned-in spots in my screen and the battery is not so good anymore. Everything else works properly. My previous favorite phone was the note 4 with the ir blaster. Camera of the note 9 could have been a bit better, for that reason I will eventually have to upgrade
ОтветитьYeah man, these manufacturers have lost the plot. Can't believe in summer '23 I'm looking at picking this up.
ОтветитьWould you advise getting a refurbished one?
ОтветитьGot the Note 10 plus and I'm stuck with a simular dilemma. I refuse to upgrade unless my next upgrade has an sd card slot. The S23 looked promising except.. no sd card slot! Like if the s23 came with an sd card reader it would of been a no brainer but nooo!!
ОтветитьToo bad there are no custom roms for qualcom
ОтветитьI have a note 9 and recently bought a S22 but took the sim card out of it and put it back into my note9. I feel like I am back home
ОтветитьI totally agree with you. I still have my note 9 and I am not letting it go. Not paying more to get less.
ОтветитьI used the shit out of this phone for 3 years. I still had 85% battery capacity. Only stopped daily driving it when a super aggresive offer came in for the Fold 3 where I got a heap for my old iPhone for work. The Fold is the best tech I've ever paid for. Really the next big step forward. However the Note 9 was a beast. It never once crashed, froze or stuttered. The display 5 years later is still insanely good. I decided to hold onto it because the trade in money for it simply would not provide enough loot to replace it with something equal or better. My only gripe with the phone as a daily was the weight. With a case it really feld like a brick after holding my buddy's Note 10 which felt like a feather. And my secondly only gripe is that I had to replace the tempered glass protector over a dozen times over the 3 years with those pricey White Stone UV screen protectors. One time I caught the subway turnstile with my phone in my jacket pocket and it cracked the screen protector the day after replacing the screen protector. Eventually I started buying these generic brand versions of UV tempered glass protectors and they weren't any worse and much cheaper. I use the Note 9 as my default Dex device paired via type C hub with a 15.5" OLED portable 1080p monitor for $190 USD (no touch screen though). The monitor is the ultimate accessory for an old Note 9 you just need a decent mouse and good LED keyboard. Just make sure once Dex is launched go into the Dex settings while in Dex mode and under "Dex Settings" go to Mouse and Trackpad and change the position so that it recognizes if the Note is on the left or right of the external display. That way the mouse will move seamlessly between the phone and the monitor. Also cool for the external Dex monitor, you can use Zoom turning the Note 9 around to act as your webcam while you see the Zoom call on the external monitor. No need to use the poorer selfie camera.
ОтветитьI have a note 9+ which I dearly love but I've replaced the battery twice and it still runs out quickly. I'm no longer receiving updates and now need to upgrade. I dont use the S pen any more so which phone would you recommend with enough years of updates as the S23 is too expensive
ОтветитьI still hve note 9 but would need to upgrade now as the new apps being developed will slowly remove the android 10 support which note 9 has. Already getting notifications from microsoft teams etc to upgrade to version 11
ОтветитьWho else is here from Reddit?
Ответить😮Years later, I'm going back buying a new Note9 and finding it new in 2023 was a feat! Also because I spent 400€! But after having had the entire Note series, up to the 20 Ultra and the last of the S range, I am even more convinced that the Note9 today is still the most complete phone ever made.
ОтветитьCouldn't agree more. Written on my Note 9.😁👍
ОтветитьMy note 9's screen broke some time after the beginning of lock down. It was a blessing in disguise cause It forced me to take a look at just how stupid the phone market got. To the point that last year I decided to get the screen fixed. The fix cost me the same as a modern medium-tier phone and they also gave it a new battery. Phone was like new last year and it's quite great at the moment. Also, I've had it exposed to quite a bit of water and it didn't seem to have any issues in that regard. I plan to continue using this one for another 3 years at least.
