[@nickdygert260]

The note 9 will be my only phone no matter how old it keeps getting I bought mine back in 2018 when it first came out so fare I have cracked my phone 3 time's and got the screen replaced and ill keep doing it and keep it functioning

[@TheHopelessGeek]

It can remain functional for a long time as long as you keep its software light and swap batteries every few years. 🙂

[@TralfazConstruction]

Yes. I was very fortunate to find one for sale after looking for several days online. An Ocean Blue 512GB/8GB Note9 in pristine condition. When it arrived three days ago the phone was in better shape than I could have hoped; it's practically indistinguishable from new. I gave my youngest brother my Ocean Blue Note9 two years ago and I realized that I was going to miss that phone. The Note9 is a very solid phone, still is very fast and responsive. I'd forgotten it has the 3.5mm jack making it able to interface with some older tech that I still use. Long live the Samsung Galaxy Note9.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Yes! It's a boss phone 🤳

[@TralfazConstruction]

@@TheHopelessGeek It really is! Thank you.

[@ZenataUSA]

I ditched an iPhone 12 to go to my second ever Note9 about a year ago. I noticed how compared to that iPhone, this runs a bit hot (snapdragon variant), 4g is showing its age, and the camera isn't as good. Also the fingerprint reader is really awful and pretty much never works as a guitarist. But I'm still incredibly happy with the price ($220) and being back on android for open source apps, s pen, and the headphone jack. It still does everything I need it to, albeit with some compromises compared to today's flagships. Whenever I do upgrade, I don't think I'll be able to justify spending much more than this thing cost me since I now realize how little impact paying two or three times as much would have. The problem I might have is finding something that is a definitive upgrade with a stylus, 5g, and jack in this price range, but I'll worry about that when this one dies or breaks.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Yeah, it won't be a comparable experience to a newer phone, like the 12 Pro. This is a phone from 2018, after all. It's still quite a nice device, and you got it for a great price 🙂

[@JimmyG3237]

OMG! I am soooo still gonna keep my Note 9 after hearing this! Everyone is telling me to upgrade to S23 Ultra and I keep saying no!!!! Love my Note 9!!! It's beautiful!!!

[@TheHopelessGeek]

In some ways, the note 9 is superior. Namely, the headphone jack, no punch hole cutout, and no camera bump!

[@JimmyG3237]

@@TheHopelessGeek Agree 💯, I never liked the punch hole camera, that so bothers me seeing it. My wife has the S23 Plus, she likes it alot...for what I've seen on leaks and rumors of the S24 series, the outside will pretty much follow suit as the S23's....I think Samsung needs a few customers at the round table with the engineers! 👌😊

[@mikeycraig8970]

My Note 9 is pristine, who ever owned before kept it in a case thankfully. Didn't have much money (Xmas and all that) when my S8 died but still didn't want to get a new mid range phone, so when I found a note 9 that still looked shiney and new for £180 I snapped it up straight away!

Yeah, it was their first futuristic design in years. I remember seeing the S6 edge and being blown away back in college, when I only had the S5.

[@abdelrhmanashraf2062]

At first great video and keep going .......... I noticed in the video that you said that the phone can be acquired as a secondary phone and not as a primary one, but if I acquired this phone in its new condition, why wouldn’t it be my primary phone, knowing that it is a wonderful phone that comes with wonderful capabilities and is much better than current mid-range phones, so why not the primary phone I hope your point of view on this topic, especially since I intend to buy the new version, and as always, a great video

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I meant that it's performance may not be up to mark with current phones😅. Yes, a brand new one would work really well and can be used as a primary device, but it might fall behind due to older software.

[@whatsonmytable]

Nice handwriting. btw what price did you guy the note 9 for??

[@TheHopelessGeek]

😅thanks. I bought it back in 2019 for around ₹41,000.

[@PeleSahota]

Amazing phone. I still use mine. The hardware is solid. The only weakness is the s pen. They fall out, get lost or break.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Oh, does that magnetic holding mechanism get weaker? Mine still seems strong enough to not fall off.

[@naimeeshpurohit9282]

Currently using it as my secondary driver! Because a flagship is a flagship! And it’s experience can’t be matched even if you get a latest midrange phone! The haptics, the curved display, the premium ergonomics and most importantly the S-Pen are the reasons I ditched a 5G mid range to go for it! Cuz my primary driver 14 Pro Max is giving that premium vibes as the note 9!

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Yes, I agree. An older flagship will still be more premium than a mid-range device.

[@April-py3jc]

Love my note 9+ but as you say the camera is a bit of a let down. Which Samsung upgrade to this phone would you recommend 6:27

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I suggest the Note 20 Ultra if you can get it for a good price. It's the closest upgrade to this phone. Note 10+ is a bit of a let down.

[@nithyen4544]

Great Video! What phone do you use now?

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I use the Honor Magic4 Pro which they sent me back in June 2022 🙂

[@user-zg8nt2pf8z]

I've flashed manually from android 9 to 10 onui 2.5 would you suggest if flashing it to android 11 or 12 would be good idea if there's no bugs in these updates.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I haven't tested any custom ROMs on this phone. If you're okay with using third party software (which may lose some of the S pen features) I guess you can explore it.

[@scoa]

I'm still using my Note 9, but thinking about upgrading soon. It generally still runs great as my one and only phone, though the battery life has gotten quite a bit worse. Even with that though, if I didn't have somewhat power hungry phone usage needs (like for vlogging and KZbin video recording stuff), besides the battery the only other thing that makes me feel the need to upgrade is the fact that Samsung isn't providing software updates anymore. Having this phone for the last few years has taught me what a good phone is supposed to be. Unfortunately, that may mean I'm more picky looking for my upgrade. But I am relegated to the fact that I'll probably have to say goodbye to an S-Pen and a headphone jack, two things I don't want to say good-bye to.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Yeah, I didn't want to move away from the S pen either. Honor left me no choice by literally giving me their flagship.😅

[@elfedorausado]

I feel you. I'm currently transferring data from it as I switched to an iPhone 13 mini (any other android phone seems a downgrade from the great Note 9, so I decided I might give Apple a chance anyways), but I still think the Note 9 is a great phone..the lack of updates is the deal breaker when considering keeping it, as I run most of my banking through my phone.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Ah, I see. I wonder how much of an impact those security updates (or lack thereof) can actually have on daily use. 🤔 I'll look into it

[@elfedorausado]

@@TheHopelessGeek I've had the Note 9 for 4 years now, and the lack of updates has not had any impact on usability or performance whatsoever. It truly is a great phone

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Yes, I've used it for a year after the support stopped. Recently passed it over to my dad. Still works great 🙂

[@_taxman_]

Could you talk about security? Since it's not getting updates, even security updates, is it vulnerable to attacks? Is it still safe to use for more high security functions such as banking, etc.?

[@TheHopelessGeek]

It should be safe as most banking apps will refuse to work if they detect compromised software.

[@thelastmelon9446]

My Note 9 is still functioning well considering its age but some apps are starting to lag. Also my toddler cracked the screen and the cost of a repair is the same as buying a new/refurbished one. And now there are likely no more security updates i am finally considering getting an S23 Ultra (with a decent case to protect the screen from children 😅)

[@TheHopelessGeek]

😅be careful with that screen. Costs way too much to repair. Still better than Apple's ridiculous charges though.

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

I STILL have this in 2023, it's just a beautiful phone/device! Not the fastest phone in 2023, for me at least..but I use this as a backup. Video watching on the insane display. Audio ..even using my old Bose wired headphones on an actual headphone jack...wow! lol.. etc. Of course expandable storage. I DO have to replace the battery though, it's starting to swell, ugh 😞But I still love this thing! Oh..and this is coming from an Apple guy.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I replaced the battery on mine a few months ago. It's good to go for another 2 years now. Still being used in the family. Amazing phone 🙂👍🏼

Do you think buying a note 9 in pristine condition for ₹15000(512gb) a good deal or shall I look for other phones? The thing is I’m a moderate user (mostly KZbin Instagram WhatsApp) and I use mostly on wifi(if I buy it) so will it be a good phone and does it give at least 5-6 hours of screen on time with room temp and on Wi-Fi usage?

[@TheHopelessGeek]

It may not give 5+ hours of screen time, but it'll be good enough to use. The 512 GB option sounds like a good deal 👍🏼

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Maybe I'm just spoiled by modern flagships

[@SimpolKaiTV]

@@TheHopelessGeek yeah its ok men hehehe im gotta admit, ive been a fan of note 9 for years and i still using note 9 as my primary phone, and for me its still the best, the only thing that i dont like about my note 9 is the battery, but im using power bank so no worries

[@TheHopelessGeek]

True, the battery life isn't good. It used to heat up quite fast too, mainly due to my 4K video recording use.

Megapixels usually mean nothing

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Often, the sensor size, the individual pixel sizes, and the software driving it matter a lot more.

[@TheHopelessGeek]

Best network? Do you mean this phone struggled with cellular signal connection?
