I took it off the charger this morning at about 7:45am. It's now 4:46pm and I have 72% battery life.

512GB internal storage
8GB RAM
4000mAh battery pack
Bluetooth stylus
6.4" screen

There are a number of notable improvements over the Note 8. This on top of them giving me $400 for my Note 8 makes it a more than worthwhile upgrade, imo.

The face/iris scanning now works together and is a lot faster than either on the Note 8.

It's a sub par explosive though.

I'll be trading in my Note5 for the 9 over the weekend. I was on the fence when it was just rumors, but the battery and SD card slot really sealed the deal for me. The waterproofing and significantly improved stylus accuracy is just icing on the cake at this point.

With my S8+, I'm eyeballing the top shelf Galaxy S10 as my upgrade. My battery life is superb - been on it for 47 hours (yep) with a current 41% charge. Screen on time thus far is over 3 hours.

Note9 is damn compelling though. If you were going to drop a grand on a phone, the Note9 is it.

what's your screentime?

i have the s9+ and get around 6 hours of screen time. much better then my last couple phones that were only getting around 3 hours but i'm guessing after i had this phone like a year the updates and battery drain will drop the life to like half. last couple phones i had to buy an extended battery. on this one i'll have to look into getting a battery case or into replacing the battery if the battery life craps out.

Glad to see they went HAM on battery capacity. Notes should always have amazing battery life, but my Note 8's is average at very best.

Yeah but there was no excuse to give the Note 8 a smaller battery than the S8+.

I will say, my Note 8 is a year old and it's actually faster now than when I got it thanks to Oreo and Samsung slimming down TouchWiz. First Samsung phone I've owned that actually aged well.

I bet Note 9 will last for ages.

Those SOTs are not good at all. From pretty much everyone posted. My old ass S8 can do 7 hours from 100% to 0% and Pixel 2 hits 9 hours. My Note 8 about 4-6. Sure, it's better than the 3-4 hours from the older Androids, but nothing insane.

Also $400 trade in for the Note 8 is abysmal given that you get like $350 for a 2 year old iPhone 7+. Jeez.

If you can tolerate bill credits, tmobile is giving people $500 for the note 5
