Samsung’s Note series has always been a top smartphone and this time, the Galaxy Note 9 has gotten even better thanks to a new powered S Pen, a fast processor, and a ton of storage space and battery capacity. If you are thinking about getting the Note 9 and you are still not sure about what the phablet brings to the table, here are 8 reasons we think make the Note 9 a worthy buy.
There’s a 4000mAh battery
It’s not the first time we are seeing a 4000mAh battery in a smartphone, but it’s the first on a Samsung smartphone. The Galaxy Note series has always been a “big” device and with the introduction of a massive 4000mAh battery unit, the Note 9 finally gets a big battery to match its big size.
According to Samsung, the Note 9 battery will last all day and then some, which basically means you can easily get two or so days on a single charge when used moderately. If the time it takes to juice it up is a concern for you, the device supports fast charging technology via a USB-C port to ensure that a few minutes of charging can deliver hours of battery life.

A powered S Pen
One of the biggest upgrades on the Galaxy Note 9 is the S Pen. Unlike previous versions, the new stylus is powered by magic from supercapacitors to keep it alive and also supports wireless charging and Bluetooth connectivity.
It is the latter feature that makes all the difference by allowing users of the Note 9 S Pen to execute various functions like remotely taking photos, using it as a remote to do presentations on Samsung’s DeX, and even for music controls, among other stuff.

Massive storage
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 comes with a base storage of 128GB, which can still be expanded using a microSD card of up to 512GB. Even better is that spending an extra $250 on top of the base model’s asking price of $1000 will earn you a massive 512GB of internal storage, which can further be expanded using an SD card. With this, you can easily end up with a total of 1TB storage in your pocket, which is what a media consumption device like the Note 9 really needs.

For gamers and heavy media consumers, the Note 9 is more than a perfect device for you as it promises an immersive experience.

Samsung DeX
In today’s age, we use smartphones for everything and with the Galaxy Note 9, Samsung has stepped up the DeX technology by eliminating the need for a DeX dock in order to connect to a monitor, instead, a USB-C cable that connects to an external HDMI display does all the tricks.
Top of the line specs
As you’d expect from a Galaxy Note device, the Note 9 has top of the line specs and features. Yes, it shares some hardware specs with the Galaxy S9 such as the processor and camera, but you won’t come across any other Samsung smartphone with a massive 8 gigs of RAM and the aforementioned 512GB of internal storage.
The Note 9 also borrows some specs from the Galaxy S9+, among them the dual-lens camera with variable aperture, microSD card support, a 3.5mm audio jack, dual-SIM connectivity and to ice the cake, there’s Bixby 2.0.
