A review done right. Not a basic, "battery life, camera, updates" review. To correctly review a Note, you must go in depth or you aren't treating the phone as it was designed.

I have both and while the 20 Ultra is slightly better at most things it's in my opinion not $1300 better than the 9. (You might miss the rear mounted fingerprint scanner along with the good old notification led.) I would not call the camera tumor exactly attractive or enjoy the wobble it causes either. I don't regret getting the Ultra but feel between $900-$1000 would be more of a fair price.

It just keeps getting more and more versatile and useful! Never gets boring, unlike my past over half-a-decade of iPhones before I switched to Android in 2014 (on a OnePlus One).

Switched from over half a decade of using just jailbroken iPhones to Android in 2014 on a OnePlus One, and currently using a 2017 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 as my first ever Samsung Smartphone. Now, I simply can't settle for ANYTHING less versatile than this. Nothing lacking the extremely versatile S-Pen, the winter-friendly Iris scanner, a no-hole display, the SpO2 sensor, pressure-sensitive home button (fast app exit even in fullscreen), or the 3.5mm headphone jack will suffice for me. Thus far, as good as later Note devices appear, only the Note 9 seems to be the worthy upgrade in my book. Unless Samsung comes out with another zero-compromise Note by 2022, I'll just be upgrading to the 512GB Dual SIM variant of the Note 9 for cheap. Then again, I value the uses of my tools, not their release year...
