I agree wholeheartedly. In my opinion the Note 9 is an icon and the last no holds barred, everything but the kitchen sink, all inclusive, no compromises, Note. I do alot of mobile photography and wanted to put the camera improvements of the Note 20 Ultra to the test, but I was unwilling to trade in my still pristine Note 9 for the pre-order discount. So I bided my time, waited for the prices to drop and scoured the websites Offer Up and Swappa until I found a good deal. No matter what devices I add to my line up, my Note 9 will be one of my favorites.

On my S9, picked it over Note 9 because I didn't need the stylus and figured it'd be too big even for my bigger than average hands to use onehanded. I can say it has been extremely difficult to find another phone I am interested in. Xperia 1 ii is close, though I have yet found another phone that is as feature complete and for its time as advanced as the S8-N9 period sammies were.

Razer Phone 2 came out that same year. And it's still as relevant in the gaming smartphone world as the more recent releases.
No idea how you reached that conclusion. Asus with their ROG brand really put together a few products with impact, with the sheer number of features and knowing what not to skimp(e.g. the jack).Razer OTOH produced irrelevant and non-competitive smartphones from the start.

Have had lots cell phones Note 9 is only one had screen burn in. Unit was not abused.

Happened on my Note 4, S7E & 4 months after getting my Note 8. Note 10+ has had no issues with the display.

The truth about burn in on AMOLED is that each individual pixel has its own lifespan, as you use up some pixels and not others, you get the impression of burn in. Burn in on AMOLED can be fixed by simply inverting the image that has been burnt in. Though I would make sure you know what color specifically.

Overall to reduce burn in, you should avoid colors that use blue (which has shortest lifespan). That includes purple and white.

Stick to using green and red as much as possible in your UI and consider using blue light filter mode which will help you with sleep as well. Of course black is the best but that technically isn't a color. Use darker colors over brighter ones too.

I have a Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 that I've used every day since they came out and it has no visible burn in. Simply because I took good care of them by using dark themes.

As someone who's owned the Note 9 and now the Note 10 plus since release I'd have to disagree...strange clickbait article btw.

For me, I am still rocking Mate20pro which i think is a smartphone came out ahead of its time. From ultra wide camera to night mode , 3d face unlock ,underdisplay fingerprint , 40W supercharged , and more.....

Counterpoint: I likey Note 10 even more than I liked my Note 9. I to be honest, the only change I don't like was moving the power button from the right side to the left side. Aside from that it's better in every way.

Upvote.

Apart from the stylus, which can't be helped, the Sony would be a proper replacement. If willing to accept severely curved screens and/or punchholes, then there are other replacements.

I Agree with this article. The Galaxy Note 9 has never failed since day one. From running multiple apps in memory that don't restart when you switch after hours to running smoothly at all times. This phone is truly a performance beast. Great camera, screen and most importantly S-pen and 3.5mm jack. After a bought a Note 9, I told myself I'll never buy another phone without an S-pen. Most people have no idea the functionality that their missing out with these new S-pens that double as remote controls. I have created and edited so many work documents on the fly thanks to S-pen and DeX. The Note 9 is a power user device. Even though there is a high performance mode which supposedly overclocks the device's processor, this phone is already a beast straight out of the box. Samsung needs to get back to what made them great which is offering practicality and innovative solutions to their customers and not chasing down crazy trends like removing 3.5mm jack and constantly moving the selfie camera into the screen. Some people didn't like the face recognition and claimed it was not secure. We loved it for the practicality. Talk about unlocking your phone when your hands are wet. Combine that with google assistant/Bixby and you've got limitless possibilities. I hope they bring back the 3.5mm jack on their newer phone. The Note 9 has not disappointed in 2 years and we will have to retire the beast soon. The successor needs to be at least equally great if not greater that the Note 9.
Next to impossible but if true, I won't defect to Sony.

Are you ABSOLUTELY high out of your mind?? I mean seriously, without going into ridiculous amounts of specs let's think about a few things. How about the price for one thing? How about a God-awful fingerprint scanner? This giant battery you speak of lasts less time than any pixel phone just from the sheer amount of crap that Samsung puts on their phones. Dare I say one + ? If I remember the specs correctly, next to no notch, HD screen, 8:45 processor, in-screen fingerprint, and the option to have 256 GB storage with 8 GB of RAM for less than $700? And you want to talk about the Note 9? Get a life. I'd take a OnePlus or a Pixel over any Samsung any day of the week!
Oneplus, a so-called "enthusiast brand", f***ed its users long ago by dropping the jack soon after Apple. It fell off my radar since.

A Galaxy Note without a heart rate monitor and a headphone jack is not a great phone. The Note 9 is the last one.
ANY phone without an S pen or DEX is not a  great phone
