Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus vs Galaxy Note 8: /2018/03/13/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-vs-note-8
Yes, it's about that time. One of the most important questions we get on social media, is if it's worth it to upgrade to a new Galaxy S9 Plus. Our review was mostly focused on answering this from a Galaxy S perspective, but that wasn't really the hottest Galaxy in town.
Calling out a winner really depends on your needs, though. If you depend on the S Pen, then there’s no way around it, you need the Galaxy Note 8. If you don’t, which is the reality of most people, then I’d recommend you go for the newer Galaxy S9+.
It’s the overall better buy, where you get some unique features that many phones today don’t have. Obviously you could wait for the next Galaxy Note that’ll most likely bring all these improvements, but that’s still a good 6 to 8 months away.

    Both phones support VoLTE, which gives you pretty amazing call audio quality, it is almost like person is there speaking with you. Can't get any better than that with current tech. Problem is that outside of USA, not every carrier supports it. For example, in my country, neither of the 3 carriers support it already (although all 3 have LTE since while ago).

    The spen isn't only that.... "That's about it?" For me as an architect and also for artist's the spen is a huge game changer, you can't neglect the true behind the technology behind that pen, it comes with 4096 pressure levels that put the spen on pair with the most expensive Wacom professional tools, by the way, the tech behind the spen is made it by Wacom as well. To be able to draw my ideas and then make that ideas come to life in a project, and actually paying my bills thanks to that doodle draw made it with my spen make the difference and it is actually everything better than "just about it".... And I'm pretty sure that artist's, and many real professionals will tell the same about that feature! Is a productivity tool!

    So true. I don't get the comparison between the Note and S lines. I got the Note for the S-Pen functions. I tried the Galaxy S7 when the Note 7 was pulled. I missed the S-Pen too much. And wound up going back to a Note 4 before upgrading to the Note 8 last year. I use the S-Pen for all my text input. Coming from the Palm Pilot/Pocket PC era (I guess that makes me an old fogey), I favor the pen input over the on-screen keyboard.

Not just because of this particular review but rather every time I've taken the time to watch, your always spot on! And I've never been a Samsung fan. Too much bloatware for my tastes. But I love this Samsung 9+! And taking into account some of the cell phone provider's deals right now, I may just jump on. But pay for upfront!

    the S9 has SIGNIFICANT improvement in video? I can't see it. Actually the video stabilisation on the Note8 at 6:37 looked way better... also... the step from the QSD835 to the 845 ist definitely NOT "significant" when you run nearly the same battery life with a smaller battery on the Note8... And you guys asked for questions about there two. Many people wanted to know about the sound quality with headphones especially wired headphones with the 3.5mm jack but you didn't say anything about this. Just the Marketing bla black of "Dolby Atmos" which is just dump because it's simply impossible to get surround sound with two smartphone speakers...

    What's the problem? The 2018 Galaxy S9 costs the same as 2017 Galaxy S8 at launch. Pricing hasn't changed. If you are patient, they will get less expensive later, Samsung phones always drop in price few months after launch. Maybe the Note 9 will cost the same as previous model.

    The S pen is made for artists. I'm a game dev / artist and my note 4 btw is still my pocket sketchbook wherever I go. It's made by Wacom the same company that makes graphic tablets for digital artists in the film, game and animation industry. But to most other people it's just "nice to have". It's really like having a pencil in your pocket, some will write memos, some might draw masterpieces.

    I currently have the S9+ in my pocket and I gotta say, I never had a single thought of using the S-Pen because I'm a student who just does photography/videography, and much of the productivity goes to my laptop. And other than the Dual App shortcut, I discovered on my Edge that the Smart Select feature that was on the Note8 came to the S9/S9+. So I could make screenshot GIFs.

  • @briancarnell

    I use the S-Pen all the time. Currently using an Note 8, and looking forward to the Note 9. But Samsung really needs more to differentiate the Note line for its power user audience. Frankly, the 64gb onboard storage just doesn't cut it anymore for a phone that is that expensive. I really hope we see 128gb for the US market (in addition to the MicroSD slot...no backsliding on that point, Samsung).

    Bought the Note 8, but got accepted to the S9+ usage study shortly after. Feel and function wise, I prefer the Note. Those sharp corners make it seem more complete and staunchy, even though the screen is barely larger than the 9+. The S9 low light capability, 4k@60fps, super, slowmo, stereo speakers and dolby atmos are what would have had me sold if I had to chose.

    I've literally purchased every Note phablet each year they've come out; starting back on the Note 2. The original Note was exclusive to AT&T in the States on it's release. With that said, I may break my tradition this year unless the Note 9 adds more features over the S9. The Notes have always been S series phones but with the S-Pen and a few additional refinements. I'm simply in love with my current Note 8 and I'm just not seeing a big enough evolution with the S9 -> Note 9 design/features to warrant my annual upgrade.

    I'm currently on the Note 3 and wanting to give it up for something better. Its been a great phone for years but its showing its age now. I don't use the pen very much so for me I think the S9+ is the best choice for me. I've considered waiting to see what the Note 9 will bring to the table but from early reports other than the pen and its features nothing more than that when compared to the S9+. Now I just need to decide whether to ditch Sprint and go with a different carrier or stay with Sprint which is now being bought out by T-Mobile.
