Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy Note 9 - It's Time...

As unfortunate as it is...because I think the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is one of...if not THE best in the Note series...I do think you should upgrade this year to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra...it's time. Take advantage of the experience on the phone this year.

It is definitely going to be sad to say goodbye...but if you love the Note series...and you are coming from a Note 9...this might be the year to upgrade.

[@Pacogmc]

Just my case. I'm the owner of a Galaxy Note 9 and in few I'll be migrating to a S22 ultra

[@playerone3485]

Same I'm about to give mind up

[@revaaron]

I almost bought a s22 ultra because I took off the whitestone screen protector on my note 9 and the screen was smashed under it. But then I just put tape on the screen. Whitestone doesn't make them any more. Then my morphie juice pack was completely falling apart. I super glued and taped it. But I found some gel screen protector and a new morphie juice case. So I can wait for the S23 ultra now.

I also have a bunch of scripts that copy and back up to the microsd every night, synching all my dslr pictures to it.

[@vvanderer]

@@revaaron backing up to the cloud is super easy. Dropbox gives 2g free. You can access, and save, from any de ice. I expect with a second email address you could get another 2g etc etc. I use it for my business and pay $20; a month for 1 or 2 Tb. There are competitors for much less. M just too lazy to research hthem properly. It's crazy to risk everything on a fire or burglary... get with the program and reach for the cloud lol,. You can still use the sd card as well if you have vast files and a slow connection, and the upload or download elapsed time is an issue.

[@kaylaperrin122]

@@trevhart2124 Yesssss!! I was crushed when my Note 4 died on me. Literally crushed. I loved that phone. I currently have the Note 9 and I don't know if I should upgrade. Love that the 22 Ultra has a pen, but do I need to upgrade? This is the question!

[@J.Wick.]

The Note 10+ was the first device to do me that way. Traded it in for a ZFold3. Whose hinge messed up after 18months. Now a ZFold4 through insurance. But I missed having a Note. Ended up buying a Note9 refurb for $150 in 2021 as a work phone. Still using it for that purpose to this day. The Note9 I bought has actually appreciated in value lol.

[@jpsrandom6943]

Right now I am using and watching this on my note 9, 512gb rom/8gb of ram. I had the note 8, the 7fe, the note 5 and before I had only the s line. Look man, I am a graphic designer, and the note line is without a doubt and no contest THE BEST PHONE for productivity, and That is just one aspect of the many things this device can do. And the Dex feature is something a few people talk about, literally a workhorse as you like to call it. Sadly, the display is broken and burned and it's time to change it, but honestly is hard to let it go, like I will cry a bit for real when the time comes. The note line is the best thing I can think of in portable devices, it packs all you need, and we, the note users, get really invested in the brand, I think more than Apple fans, is a true master piece. But right now I have an issue, where I live, Colombia, the prizes for new devices are INSANE, the currency rate conversion is 4 x 1, so we pay a lot more in relation to other places and our income in general puts Samsung far from our reach. The trade in program is very bad too because we have many issues with the black market, people literraly die because thiefs go far and beyond to get such an expensive device and other people keep buying those stolen phones, and yeah they unlock them and swap the IMEI. My last note will be this 9, I will keep it just because I love it and really got a place in my heart. The S pen is such an amazing tool, the Samsung echo system works flawless, the display, the storage, aw man, is too hard to just get my mind around the idea of not having everything and more in your pocket to get any job done. Thanks for the advice anyway, much love from Colombia

[@kaylaperrin122]

I agree completely. Love the Note 9 and the Note fans want nothing less. I keep contemplating if I should upgrade to the S22 Ultra, then ask myself why? I only have one small crack in a corner and I dropped the phone a bunch of times. I love my Note 9! I get so much work done with it,

[@TheRealNightShot]

The Note9 was the perfect Note. Just 2 generations before the end of the lineup. Fixed the issues of the predecessor and introduced more features that made it a truly complete phone. Shame that Samsung messed up the SoC and therefore performance was subpar. But root fixed it for me (though I’m still working on it). It’s a great device. So fast it rivals the Note 20 in raw performance.

[@nuttyotter9200]

The main 2 things I hate about this phone is the lack of headphone jack and sad card slot. I may either have to suck it up and find ways around it or look into a different phone. Or I could simply keep my note 9 because it was my first flagship phone. But this s22 ultra looks nice

[@StevealiciousTech]

[@DrWenChannel]

The thing about S22 Ultra is there is no microSD card in it, and for me, that kills the deal. I can have a 1TB microSD card in my Note9 for shooting 4K videos. So really hoping that S23 Ultra can bring back the microSD card feature.

[@StevealiciousTech]

Well, I get wanting the feature and not liking that it's gone but if you look around the landscape, there aren't flagships doing that anymore and it doesn't look like there will be in the future since they want you using cloud storage more and more. It's unfortunate, but inevitable, I fear.

I love my 512g Note 10+ but I still got the 512g S22 Ultra & now I'm regretting that decision & sending it back to my Carrier. My 3yr+ old Note gets better battery life than my Ultra! I'm having way too many issues with my Ultra & I've never experienced 1 single problem with my Note 10 Plus. This S22 Ultra is Freezing up, laggy scrolling on 120h & typing, over heating sometimes & all I do is watch downloaded movies & browse the web or stream KZbin. This S22 Ultra should be polished, like my Note 10+. I'll wait on iPhone 14 Pro Max.. The Note 9 is still a great phone.

[@StevealiciousTech]

Note 10 Plus is definitely solid! Definitely got a bad unit on that S22 though.

[@carver9312]

Note 10 plus is a good phone but the S22 Ultra is a FAR better phone. I own both. They just pushed an update out for the S22s that SIGNFICANTLY helped the battery life. Not saying the Note 10 plus isn't a good phone but its nothing compared to the Ultra, so stop fooling yourself

[@danielunderwood5217]

I went from the note 4 to the note 9. now I have finally decided to move from the 9 to the s22 ultra. it wasn't an easy decision. however, I bought my note 9 as a "deal of the day" by best buy for $600 almost 3 years ago. I was able to trade it in for $800 off the s22 ultra. I was probably only a year away from the note 9's trade in value reducing by half. The way it is now, I will have spent 600, traded it in for 800, and bought the s22 ultra for the $500 difference. the deal was never going to be better, but eventually my note 9 would need to be replaced.

[@StevealiciousTech]

[@MrStarbuckk]

Made the switch. Lost a few things but gains and a nice deal outweighed the loss and most can be compensated for with "outside the box" thinking: Negatives 1. No SD card..but got the 512gb version and the SD card was a nuisance to change. Embrace the cloud! 2. Fingerprint scanner. This one hurts a little. The fingerprint scanner on the back worked better thanthe on screen one. No getting past that. 3. No headphone jack. Got an adapter off Amazon so no big deal. Bluetooth better in the long run will switch anyway. 4. Notch. Not as big a deal as I thought it would be. Its mostly used by the notification bar anyway so in actuality it was a gain of screen space because on the note 9 the notification bar is below the blocked area. 5. No SP02 sensor. Meh..got a smart watch for that now. Positives: 1. Great deal on trade in. Double the regular trade in value at Samsung and even before that, they beat Verizon's trade in price. 2. 512gb version for price of 256gb version..which was already discounted :). 3. Camera. Probably the biggest improvement of all. Good trade off for things removed. 4. Android 12 out of the box. More to come. 5. Non-carrier phone. No bloatware.

How difficult are the new Samsung flagship phones to repair? I personally know the note 9 is very affordable to repair and replace any component with 3rd party replacement parts. The hardest part is getting the back glass panel off with a heat gun. The phone is very modular and similar to building a lego set. I personally have replaced speakers headphone jacks and backglass with moderate ease. Apple phones are totally unrepairable without Apple support. No 3rd party parts can be used with Apple. Seems like Samsung maybe following the Apple businesses model. Curious about how difficult the new phones are to repair and if the parts need to be registered or specific to the new flagship devices. It would be very neat to see a video on the repairability S22 Ultra vs Note 9 vs Note 10 plus. 🤔

Unfortunately, this is the third time I brake my note-9 screen in 4 years of using. Screen replacement will cost me around 240$. I am using now S22 ultra for about a week and I feel it is the best choice to upgrade. I am still in love with my note-9 and if the screen did not brake I will not even think to change it. My opinion is if you have note-9 and if it is completely working fine just take care of it and do not upgrade. But if your note having problems and it will cost you much for repairing S22 ultra will be the best replacement.

When security updates end for the Note 9, does the phone become vulnerable to being hacked?

[@StevealiciousTech]

Eh sort of but not right away and still up to the user to be careful.

[@demboyz4082]

samsung has been using mcafee as builtin antivirus. so just pay and extend built in mcafee antivirus. it has antimalware, vpn and other security features. you could pay 1.49/month or 18usd for 12mos.

[@joshfroese3988]

I have beat the living crap out of my note 9 and it's still incredible, huge props samsung, the note 9 is an absolute tank, but rly considering the upgrade

[@StevealiciousTech]

Great phone but it's getting close to time.

[@nathangillon7294]

Geez, man, thanks for ripping the scab off the wound. Two weeks. It took two weeks after getting the new phone to do the deed. I was sobbing when it happened...

Lol, it was time!

[@Puribu]

Thoughts on the vibration motor of the S22 ultra?

[@StevealiciousTech]

Seems just fine to me. I only have two ranks for them, though. Either they are fine and I don't notice it or they are awful enough where I turn it off. I don't notice it.

@@StevealiciousTech MKBHD mentions that he doesn't feel it vibrate in his pocket but it's the only mention I've seen of it

im planning to buy note 9 for my parents but it felt like samsung phones with android 12 are the most stable phones like s10line and note 10 plus. theyre still on 450 to 500 brandnew tho

[@StevealiciousTech]

Note 10 Plus is probably the way to go but I get it, they are still pricey for sure.

[@vvanderer]

I would badly miss a headphone jack. It's a deal breaker. I would need to invest in a good bluetooth daily driver. Thenthe phone battery is a major issue

[@StevealiciousTech]

Yeah, it's unfortunate but inevitable at the flagship level. I don't think they are coming back anytime soon on any device really.

[@vvanderer]

@@StevealiciousTech I read recently the headphone jack has been phased out because of water penetration issues. My biggest roadblock to buying a new phone is that the way I use my phone I would need to keep Bluetooth turned on the whole time and I fear the battery would not last all day. I would love to hear from others as 2 battery life when you keep a Bluetooth switched on all day 4 easy hands-free access to calls or music

[@sonotover]

interesting, no talk about repair costs, what does a new display cost? back panel? battery? Overall, note9 will save you tons of cash, from aliexpress, you can buy 5 completely renewed 512gb 8gb ram note 9 phones, you can have a supply of note 9s for the next 10 years.

[@fwjvhnny]

note 9 is still good til this day

[@StevealiciousTech]

Still a great phone!

[@brucemacintosh5755]

Note 9 storage options so much better, I have the 128gb with a 64 GB SD. Standard on the S22 128gb no thanks!

I just recently got a mint condition, used NON refurbished Note 9 from Swappa for 285 dollars. Runs like champ! I use it now in tandem with the Note 10+.

[@StevealiciousTech]

Still a great phone!

[@vvanderer]

I just bought a new condition note 9 for $A315 which is 240 or so US. I also have a TAB s2 8.0 which goes everywhere with me, so I can watch movies on the go. I cannot see the point of giving up the headphone jack and data card for bigger tits in the UI . The sound card is almost as good as the Note 8's.... mine died eventually.

[@srgt1995]

My note 9 is still going strong. One battery replacement and we good. S22 Ultra was tempting but the loudspeaker review disappointed me.

[@rorvanh_abhishek4886]

How to know about battery replacement bro? That it is time to replace it?? Or it is being already replaced before by someone else???

if only note 9 recieved android 12 it would be really great. android 12 is super stable and its features are great

i recently just said goodbye to my note 9 and moved to the ultra 22. I am hoping i dont regret the move. i dont think i will. it was just hard to say goodbye to the headphone jack and the sd card.

[@commandoQ]

Goto dev option to turn off all animations and watch your note 9 speed up like hell. Well said but unfortunately s22 lineups are missing the s pen and this ultras way 2big. Software update be damned it’s all a marketing stunt to buy new phones. I just ordered 512 gb micro sd to boost my storage plus mine comes with free fm antenna so headphones jack to me is essential. Upgrading from note 9 to s22 is only for xtra batteries and the rest is just show offs.

[@sjoerdberends4988]

My note 9 is slowly dying and I'm thinking about switching to an iPhone pro because my needs are changing and I love my macbook. The note served me amazingly though, but I really detest the even bigger profile of the s22 ultra, I really can't go bigger

[@StevealiciousTech]

Note 9 was a great devuce!

[@nathandscott1]

No physical fingerprint, no sd card, no headphones jack. Very decent daylight photos. Note9 is a better phone, s22 is close but its not a step up in terms of the stuff that matter.

Sorry to hear that! It's a great phone.

I have the Note 9 (exynos) and upgraded to the S22 Ultra (exynos) and now I'm regretting it big time... Can't return the S22 Ultra due to going over the 14 day cooling off period (Carphone Warehouse - UK) 😢😭😭

[@StevealiciousTech]

Exynos is rough all over the place. I'm sorry...odd how they do that.

[@rali5381]

@@StevealiciousTech I wish exynos software was the only issue atleast I could hope for some future updates to iron some of the creases out but my overall experience including the hardware is a pain too... The S-Pen and battery life is similar to my 3-4 year old Note 9 (Oreo), the absence of an SD Card slot is a killer, no 3.5mm headphone jack, no heart rate sensor, speaker sounds tinny, no IR blaster (not seen one since my Note 4), the fingerprint scanner is notorious, its heavier in weight, feels more fragile in design too, half of my games don't work on it (NFS Most Wanted / NDS & Reicast Emulators / Rayman Jungle Run etc... just to name a few) Feels more like a downgrade to me especially with some of the missing features I've mentioned and Samsung not including wireless earbuds, no S-Pen tips/nibs in box, and no battery charger?? Now that's a low blow by a major player, this is definitely my last Samsung device I'm so put off 😕😩

If somebody wants to keep using the note 9 with the new features of one ui 4.1 and 5 just install the noble rom. I using that rom for 3 months and everything works fine. Actually my 3 years old battery works better than i bought my phone in 2019 i can easily make 5-6h of sot on LTE.

[@riilla7545]

The note 9 had the most things..all things infact and then they started removing stuff on 10.um sticking to the 9

[@cinkiwonsz]

I agree but... But in my case main reason of change was that my note9 didn't survive an accident that I survived. :D Otherwise I'd use note9 one more year.

[@ronishastroud8891]

I am still using my note 9. And i love it so much. But i have had it since 2019 and it is showing its age. Mostly bc the burn in of KZbin and tiktok on it. I plan to upgrade to the new phone but it still makes me wanna cry. It does everything i need it to do.😭

Definitely a sad day to get rid of it! Love that phone still!

[@MrToyolex]

Still note 9, I still don't feel like getting anything new with those new phones, father moved from note 8 to s21+ and he is really disappointed. I have to change because of dying mic, but I feel like it is not a step forward even after all those years.

They aren't really HUGE steps forward at this point, no.

I had a T-Mobile Note 9 from the end of 2019 til the end of 2020 and I gotta say, it wasn't my favorite device. Had issues with performance and just in general. I really dont think 6gb of RAM these days is enough for a device. I have the Note 10+ now and unlike the Note 9 when I had it, a year later, it still feels just as fast. I do miss the smaller form factor and headphone jack though.
