Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in AT&T Cloud Silver, 128GB Storage by Takahara Hideo ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

Here and in the news they wrote that many found a flash between the glass and the case. And I immediately pulled a case on the phone and this problem does not concern me at all. And even if it is, it does not cause any discomfort (except perhaps aesthetics). Moved to Note 9 from Galaxy S7. The phone is really big and quite weighty. But the weight is comparable to the 10th iPhone. After a smaller smartphone, this size is a bit unusual, but you get used to it quickly. One hand, of course, is not actively used. Now when I take my old S7, I think how tiny it is.

Pros
  • Lightning interface. Gorgeous screen. Stylus. Battery. Well, everything else that everyone has already written. I took the device for the sake of the camera, screen and power, because. I lead an active lifestyle, I shoot photos and videos. I can immediately and conveniently edit all this in a video or photo editor, make a video and post it even on Instagram, even on Facebook. There is enough iron so that all this editing and conversion work with lightning speed. A large screen and a stylus only add convenience and comfort. Face and eye identification is power! In Samsung, of course, it is not as reliable / secure as Apple's, but it works just perfectly and is much more stable than Apple's. When identifying, an infrared diode (face illumination) lights up, so that all this works perfectly both in the dark and in any position of the face. I didn’t even activate the fingerprints, this sensor simply became unnecessary (in the additional settings, you can hang additional functions on it to do something with a certain movement of your finger over it). The two-year-old Galaxy S7 was dying of battery by the end of the day of my usage format. Note 9 in the same mode so far remains somewhere at 40-50%. But it is clear that the battery is slowly degrading and who knows what will happen to it in a year or two. I'm not an artist, I just need a stylus for navigating the screen and sometimes writing. I found a convenient function for drawing / writing notes directly on the Always on display screen, when you just take out the stylus on the phone off, write a note on the black screen and save it. And then you can deal with it later. A kind of notebook is always at hand. But at the same time, the smartphone software comes with a couple of tools specifically for drawing (source, thickness, etc. there) and a whole community where all this can be shared.
Cons
  • The stylus, when used every 15 minutes, asks to put it back for a couple of seconds to charge (there is a capacitor there, so it charges instantly, but still). The thickness of the stylus for comfortable work really should be more, but do not forget that this is a stylus for a thin smartphone, where it is huge to place it. Official covers from Samsung are some huge. I bought myself one of these with a special retractable leg at the back, in order to be able to put the phone semi-vertically for the convenience of watching videos, for example. The cover makes the smartphone 2 times thicker and significantly heavier. And the price . In general, an order from Ali 2 covers of 400 each with delivery (one also with a stand), both are much thinner. What I advise everyone to do. By default, there is no Slow motion in the list of camera modes (only super slow motion). For people who are fond of sports, this mode is very interesting. The answer is easily googled, turned on normally through the phone settings (there is a list of all modes that can be turned on or off for display in the camera interface).
