Product Description
The Note 9 has twice as much storage as the Note 8, which means more music, more videos, more pictures, and less worry when it comes to space on your phone. The Note 9 gives you a quick network connection for incredibly fast streaming and downloading, so you can do more, uninterrupted. Still amazing on screen, but now the S-Pen has more power off screen. Remotely control different applications and use the S pen to capture shots from far away, scroll, and play music. At 6.4" and featuring the Super AMOLED display, the Note9 is perfect for gaming and streaming.

As for the phone itself... I couldn't be happier! After hearing that the new Moto G Stylus wouldn't have NFC, and a decidedly worse pen, I went for the Note 9. It's probably the best phone purchase I've ever made. Even though it's several years old now, it still beats the 2020 Motorola budget phones in performance for just $60 more (used).
It has a headphone jack, unlike the Note 10, and I actually prefer having some empty space on the top and bottom of the screen to host the camera and speaker, as opposed to a hole-punch or notch. The battery easily lasts me 2 days at half brightness, at the highest resolution. Speaking of resolution, there are three options: 720p, 1080p, and 1440p. I haven't seen any noticeable difference in battery life between 1080 and 1440, but I also can't see any real difference in quality between the two. Both options look fantastic. The screen can get incredibly dim, and also incredibly bright. There are two speakers, one on each side of the phone. They sound good, however, only the top speaker is on the front of the phone (facing you), while the other is on the bottom (next to charging port) and can be muffled by your hand while holding the phone sideways. Tons of storage space, plus expandable storage if you have an SD card to spare. NFC (Google pay/Samsung pay) is supported, unlike most similarly priced budget phones. Wireless charging is nice and allows charging even if the USB-C port fails or breaks later on. The fingerprint scanner is quick and works great.
The 12-megapixel camera is the biggest negative for this phone in 2020. Good enough for day to day use and even vacation photos, but the real draw (ha) is the pen, not the camera. Secondly, the battery can't be replaced without removing the entire front panel of the phone, which is made intentionally difficult. Not uncommon these days, but a negative nonetheless.
The pre-installed Samsung apps aren't too intrusive, and I replace most of them with Google alternatives. The same can't be said for Bixby or the Bixby home. Luckily, you can disable the Bixby home screen, and you can now re-bind the Bixby button to open a different app, or open nothing at all! Facebook can't be uninstalled, but you can "disable" it, which is good enough.
The S-pen is incredible. I didn't realize just how versatile the pen was before I purchased it, but I'm so glad I did. It has pressure sensitivity, a tiny button on one side of the pen, and even tilt detection! It's an active pen, so it communicates it's position and angle to the phone when held close to the screen, showing a dot or text cursor depending on the context. It can be set to disable finger presses when detected, so you can safely place your hand on the screen while drawing without causing issues! It essentially IS a drawing tablet, albeit quite small. It is far superior to a capacitive pen, like what the Moto G Stylus has, which doesn't have any of these features. The main downside is that the pen has a capacitor that needs to be charged. It's not a huge issue as it can be fully charged in 40 seconds (by simply inserting it into the phone), and lasts 15-30 minutes per charge.
- Worth noting, mine did NOT come with extra pen tips (nibs), and the only way to get official replacements is to buy a new pen from Samsung (on Amazon) for $30. (Pen purchase comes with 1 additional soft tip and 1 additional hard tip). Or, you can go for a possibly less-than-quality Chinese replacement set for ~$5. If you are using a screen protector, the cheap ones should be fine.
- Some sellers may be better than others. My phone came from CellGuru and they get a +1 from me.
- I highly recommend a case and screen protector, as both sides of this phone are covered in glass. I also specifically recommend a glass screen protector instead of film/plastic. My film protector added lots of resistance when using the S-pen, to the point of being unusable for drawing.
But I want to make clear that the quality of the product could vary from seller to seller as it is not directly sold by Amazon but third party sellers who meet Amazon's specifications. My phone was sold by D'tech Mobile, and therefore your experiences my differ depending on your seller as other reviews suggest some are better than others in terms of quality. But keep in mind Amazon offers a decent 90 return/exchange policy.
Anyway, as for the phone cosmetics, this is a used product so I wasn't expecting a pristine phone. The phone had a few small dents on the corners indicating it had been dropped from a short height on occasion. The front and back glass were very clean and mostly free of scratches. There were a few very minor scratches near the edges of the screen that were only really visible if the light hit the phone at the right angle. The S-pen was also in good condition but it was obvious that the previous owner heavily used the pen based on the wear on the writing tip. But the pen was still very usable, and any defect was hardly noticeable. With the case and screen protector on, you wouldn't be able to notice any of these minor flaws. I considered dropping to 4 stars because of this, but reconsidered as it is a used product after all and doesn't affect the overall experience of daily use.
Now for the performance quality. The battery life was excellent. Part of the reason I upgraded was due to my previous phone's increasingly poor battery life. The battery life on this phone is excellent even used. I get a full day of heavy use, and two to two and a half days with casual use. The screen of the phone is top notch. The phone overall is very responsive. My previous phone had significant lag between inputs and seeing the action on screen. This phone lacks any such delay. The processor is very fast even with daily use though it is almost 2 generations old now. Side note: the phone is very large. I have large hands with long fingers and have issues reaching all corners of the screen with one hand. Keep that in mind if you have less than average sized hands.
Also, several other reviews have claimed that their product was not unlocked. My phone was unlocked and worked on my AT&T network. Keep in mind that this is a GSM phone, and therefore only works with GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile). Verizon and Sprint are CDMA carriers, and it seems most of the reviews that claimed in was not unlocked were for these carriers.
TL;DR: Great quality for the price. Don't expect a new product, but rather a product that performs like new. Your experience may differ based on seller.
