Pros
- Almost everything =) The first is the stylus. Dignity is subjective, but I personally use it every day) Good performance, a screen that can be calibrated for yourself, the ability to use memory cards. Good autonomy. With intensive use, it lasts for 1.5 days. Fast charging is really fast. The area under the hidden home button is pressure sensitive. In order to minimize any application, it is not necessary to call the button, you just need to press hard at the bottom of the screen.
Cons
- Not an adequate price in 2022. The 2022 and European versions do not read Troika cards (the American version does). For comfortable use, it is better to use a rubberized bumper. The on-screen buttons take some getting used to. For people with small fingers, using the phone with one hand will not be convenient. We can say that the size of the phone is limiting. There is some curvature in standard applications. For example, there are 2 note taking apps: SNote and SamsungNotes. Similar functionality, but in the first one you cannot write a note without breaking it into pages, and in the second there is no scaling. In addition, a number of features that were in Note2 were removed from SNote. By default, you cannot configure another action for the Bixby button - only disable it.
Pros
- 1. Great screen 2. Great camera 3. Excellent software optimization (surprising for Samsung) 4. Surprisingly durable battery for such a screen and such a capacity. 5. Stylus
Cons
- Fingerprint scanner in an awkward place
Pros
- Screen, camera, phone flies (I have 835 and 128 memory on the processor). The phone is super. And with the pen class, you can write notes on the unlocked screen and save them.
Cons
- The battery is weak, I wanted more. I also wanted stereo sound.
Pros
- screen, stylus, camera
Cons
- screen, battery, face sensor, fingerprint scanner
Pros
- (I'm rewriting the review) I chose this device without much comparison, because only it has a stylus and an iris scanner (as of September 2022). The stylus is a kind of fetish for me with roots of 15 years, and the Iris-scanner, in my opinion, is now the choice of any self-respecting paranoid - you yourself leave fingerprints everywhere, a 3D model of a face (a la iPhone X scanner) can be compiled and print out, having several photos of your head from different angles (new software, AI, that's all) that can be taken from afar, even if you yourself or your friends have not posted enough of them on social networks. To get a photo of the iris, you need to shoot both of your eyes at close range with a professional camera. Late 2022 ads touted its display. Then they praised the iPhone X, then the Galaxy S9, now the Note 9. Anyway, in direct bright sunlight on the Note 8, the brightness and contrast get out, and this is enough for text and maps. You need to try to see the photos, the video in direct sun simply cannot be viewed. Not ideal. But I'm not at all sure that some displays will cope with this. And the rest of the display is just good, I can’t imagine how it could be better. Six months after buying myself a Note 8, I chose (not myself) an S9 with 4 GB of RAM. I think 6 GB of RAM is not enough, it's a lot. And theoretically eats a battery. It's about performance. About her - the Exynos processor, an analogue of the SD835, works well. I wrote, I found terrible lags at maximum speed on the siege in Lineage: Revolution (played for 2 months and quit). Sometimes the display of the volume slider lags, if something from the multimedia starts, it switches at this moment. 2-3 seconds is better to wait. But this is not a percentage, this is software / OS stupid. The support is good. I complained that they didn’t give the horizontal mode to the launcher in Oreo - they gave it after 2 patches. He complained that a glitch with water protection and reboots was added to Oreo - they removed the trail. monthly patch or after 1. And monthly patches come out in the same month, mb 1-2 weeks behind Android One.
Cons
- A good 12MP camera, but nothing more. Aperture f / 1.7 is far from being in every flagship, but in the Galaxy of 2022 it is already 1.5. In short, good. But it doesn’t meet my expectations and needs: I dreamed of capturing beautiful landscapes in perfect quality, but I got some kind of Instagram unit, which is designed to shoot people a meter away from you or food. Telephoto x2 there too, it helps to make portraits with bokeh, but it will help little to reach out to that tower. Or squirrels on a tree. Or an island in the middle of a river. At least with such detail as I see with my own eyes. Alas. In the summer of 2022, some Chinese announced x5 zoom, I would probably like it. Well, 12MP is not enough, it cuts off the digital zoom. If the picture turns out to be good, God forbid it to be enlarged on the phone screen - noises and other delights will become visible. I played around with ISO (from 50), shutter speed (up to 10 sec), BB. By the way, RAW is supported, but I don't know how. Separate "bonus" - video filming. My Nokia Lumia 1520 from 2022 (by the way, 20MP and SD800+2GB RAM) was capable of 120fps video in 720x1280, well, 4K. Here are the same 4k at 30fps, 60fps only FHD. What, at least FHD @ 120fps in any way? Well, at least 720p@120? Not enough processor? Is 6 GB of RAM not enough? This is a mockery specifically for the sake of the 9th generation, where oyoy! even SUPER-SLOW-MO 720p@960 is possible, but not longer than 0.6 sec. 600 milliseconds of video at 720x1280, yes. And the telephoto stub is weaker than the main one. When moving, it often loses focus for a second. The ecosystem is very torn. Let's say I'm used to MS + . Here, Google will still eat the battery, collecting information about you - it happens that in half a day the phone loses 5% of the charge, and sometimes it takes 40% overnight (without ates, etc.). Report, dog. The voice search engine in applications is also Google. Google assistant constantly offers to set it up. Samsung itself imposes Bixby as brazenly as possible. They do not even think of localizing it for the 2022, but they pop it and resist attempts to use its physical button in some other way. Another jamb with Miracast. It just doesn't work for almost anything.
Pros
- Good big screen in a relatively compact package. Thank you for this.
Cons
- -how to unlock if it is under glass as a navigator ? -the frames are much larger than in the photographs (the Chinese have adopted this chip), it is lost in the gray crowd of the current "frameless" -price at the start (knowing the further pricing policy of Samsung with their generous discounts in the near future). - pre-installed unnecessary software that eats up more than half of the RAM. - an iris scanner that needs ideal laboratory conditions so that it first records your irises, and then reads it somehow (you can find the video on YouTube). -camera with a lot of noise (if you take pictures not in sunny weather). social networks, yes photo 10x15. -not good for games, you can find normal reviews on YouTube. It heats up and the power with FPS go away.
Pros
- The screen is clear stylus performance Waterproof Pleasant to the touch
Cons
- The battery runs out quickly, but has never let me down, size (uncomfortable to reach with one hand) Heavy. The sensor is generally a hat, not convenient to use, do not use. Price. I will say that the ten is clearly overpriced (I took it for 47 thousand) I want a second speaker Bixby - assistant in English - annoying - Can't be turned off completely
Pros
- 1) super high-quality and fashionable infinity wow display of the future with a diagonal of 6.3 is the perfect size for my pockets and for holding with one hand, it’s convenient to type text with large male fingers (I used a tablet with a diagonal of 7.0 before it - it’s extremely inconvenient to talk on the phone while holding it in one hand ) 2) stable 4G Internet - works where the previous one did not work 3) The best camera (among smartphones), IMHO, with the ability to create light bokeh (blur the background when shooting portraits (although the portrait lens from Nikon's DSLR still falls short of shots at a fast fix, + stabilizer and zoom 4) all games and online movies "fly" 5) High-quality Stylus - always a notebook at hand + great opportunities for drawing, editing, fun, etc. (the best styluses are only in graphic tablets) Separately, I will mention the possibility of quick translation from a foreign language, for travelers + 6) Excellent headphones from AKG, in general, the package is thought out to the smallest detail (there are spare parts for the stylus, headphones, charging adapters ., even a rag to wipe the screen) 7) Samsung pay, which continues to develop (at the time of writing, Mir cards of several banks were added 8) the ability to add all club cards to samsung pay (bonus, discounted, gift, etc., the barcode scanner recognizes at a time), I no longer need a card holder 9) The ability to regulate the charging speed! , convenient docking station (with which smart can be turned into a PC) 10) 2 SIM cards nano format, one slot can be used for a memory card, as long as this memory is enough for me 11) Bixby, with its help I choose high-quality wines, set an alarm clock, use a pedometer, a heart rate monitor, measure calories, use gifs . I haven’t explored all its possibilities yet . 12) Video 4k 13) Have a flashlight 14) High-quality sound, you can watch a movie without headphones 15) Smart switch transferred all data from the previous Samsung 16) Waterproof, tested, 0.5 meters deep, time minute
Cons
- 1) No radio (for the wilderness, where there is no Internet, but there are sockets, this is really a minus) 2) The price for 2022 is too high, above $1000 3) I noticed a little slowdown while working with a huge list of club cards in samsung pay 4) Does not read the Troika card, minus for people living in Hong Kong 5) charging usb - c, the most common usb are not suitable for smart 6) expensive accessories
Pros
- Screen! S-pen! Thoughtful shell and proven ates. performance. Lack of lags and brakes. Quality build. Falling price. Camera!
Cons
- Battery. Bixby button (although you can already reconfigure it). Slippery and easily soiled case. Fragile glass front and rear. The absence of a finger scanner in the screen (it will already be in S 10). Only 64 GB of main memory for the official. Expensive screen replacement.
Pros
- powerful stuffing, Screen, Design, Functionality, Stylus, double camera, optical zoom, Waterproof (tested its water resistance, kept it under a tap, immersed it in a bath for 10 minutes, everything works, you can’t control underwater with your fingers, but you can control the stylus underwater without problems. Taking it out of the water, it is easily controlled with wet fingers) USB Type-C version 3.1, Photo quality, the ability to save photos with RAW extension Wireless charging (this is my first phone to support wireless charging) I was pleased with the settings of the adaptive screen, you can adjust the display by playing with the RGB parameters (it’s a pity that in the manual setting there is no option to reduce the saturation of colors, you have to switch the screen mode to AMOLED or Main movie before watching the video so that the picture from viewing is more natural, it’s bad that in there is no manual setting in these modes) Unlocking the phone using face recognition or iris recognition, very convenient, given that the fingerprint scanner is now not conveniently located Samsung Pay app. Terminals that do not support payment using NFC, Samsung phones have a second payment method using MST, although not all Samsung phone models support this function (this is the way when we rolled the card with a magnetic stripe in the terminal), I checked it works. changed his review about the troika card earlier wrote that he did not read them. Now, with the ate to Android 8.0, I began to read all troika metro cards, both limit and unlimited cards, which is very important for me, because I can always know the validity period of my unlimited troika card and replenish it in time. I use the official metro app for this.
Cons
- Of course the price small battery capacity, Not all MIR cards are supported by the samsung pay application, although they have my bank in the list, The fingerprint scanner is not conveniently located Mark Corps Stupid Bixby (in the future, let's see if it will be more convenient to manage it when it supports voice commands in 2022) Praised AKG headphones (honestly, I haven’t seen worse headphones in the note series, they absolutely don’t pump bass over the entire range, it simply doesn’t exist if you listen to something melodic from the classics, for example, here the upper frequencies of the headphones play cleanly, even very well) Slippery
Pros
- The screen is large and easy to read even in bright sunlight.
Cons
- In the comments.
Pros
- I switched to this miracle after Samsung s8. The phone is excellent, there are no complaints about it. Mode of operation from morning to evening in active mode, except for games. I think with games he will die instantly. But video movies calls messengers are enough from morning to evening. Camera and screen are great. You don’t even need to write anything here, Samsung owners will understand me.
Cons
- The disease of almost all Samsungs, when rebooting, constantly requires you to turn on the automatic time zone, it is treated only by disabling this function. And if you turn it off, then, accordingly, the time will not be displayed correctly and not correctly when moving even in 2022. Huge request to fix this. I've been watching this since the days of Samsung's s6. Then, after ating to android 9, the phone began to slow down. In short, as it is not clear began to work. In general, I liked the design of 9android, but do it to the end so that the phone does not get stupid, especially when you reboot it.
Pros
- There is a stylus and ready-made applications for it. I almost never use a drawing tool, but for that it is very convenient to take a fragment of the screen and send it. It is convenient to extract text from places where it cannot be copied, such as from pictures or from applications. translator on hover the same can sometimes come in handy. In general, with applications for the stylus, everything is in order.
Cons
- -The rounded screen reduces the effective working surface by 10 mm, the stylus does not draw on the curves. - Auto-brightness causes rapid screen degradation. On the street, auto-brightness must be turned off. Indoors, the same works so-so - either too bright, then dim. - the interface does not have adaptation to the new long screen. The control buttons, as they were on top, remained the same, you can’t reach them with one hand. - very expensive screen repair, in case of damage. - the bixby button is often pressed accidentally due to an unfortunate location. in the 2022 it is not possible to make it work even in English (the region is being checked by sim card). It cannot be reassigned by standard means, only by third-party programs. In fact, she gets in the way.
Pros
- Screen Stylus Iris sensor NFC
Cons
- Wi-Fi (often falls off) Fingerprint sensor (often does not work) Battery (holds less daylight hours with active use)
