When you buy a Note, there is one thing that you will never worry about and that’s performance.

And the launch of Fortnite for Android at the launch event kind of cements the Note as a serious gaming smartphone as well. The S Pen may have been the highlight of the Note series since inception, but it’s really starting to get boring and could be the reason why Samsung added two speakers and a massive water-carbon cooling system to get the attention of gamers. Again, Dex is not as most of us would like it to be, so you are better off with a laptop for more serious stuff. While the native apps support the Dex interface, there are other essential apps that still do not run in the desired windowed mode. The only problem with Dex is that not all apps are optimised to run on the bigger interface. This means you can continue using the smartphone as a smartphone to check your tweets, while the more serious stuff happens on your bigger monitor.

This is because the Dex app will let you use the smartphone’s display (which is massive) as a big track pad and virtual keyboard, eliminating the requirement for having wireless peripherals on hand.Īdding to this, the new Dex setup lets you use both the smartphone and the Dex app running on the PC independently of each other. If you simply want to view presentations or files on a larger display, then you will not even need a wireless keyboard and a mouse as a part of the setup. The new Dex just needs an HDMI adapter/cable (USB C to HDMI cable) connector and a monitor to get you up and running. But there are a few changes.ĭex has improved to an extent and is a lot more practical as compared to the previous setup, which needed a Dex Station to run the large screen interface.

The Game Launcher app is also a nice addition which has been improved with added performance customisations per game, which makes sense for gamers since the new Note will appeal to them as well.Īpart from the above issues, a majority of the software remains the same as on the older Note 8 and the Galaxy S9+, which I reviewed a few months ago. The other apps like the Voice Recorder app are well thought of and handy. There are the usual set of Google duplicates ( Notes, Gallery, Galaxy Apps, My Files, Internet, Calendar and more) that at times try and ape their respective counterparts. The software on the Galaxy Note 9 is pretty much the same as on the Note 8.Īnother issue is that just that there’s so much bloat loaded on to the device that it feels annoying to see so many apps that you may never end up using as long as you own the smartphone.
There is now a super capacitor that holds charge and powers a Bluetooth LE module, which lets you use the S Pen as a trigger for presentation slides, as a physical shutter button while taking selfies and even as a tool for unlocking the device.
The new S Pen is well thought out and while it looks similar to the previous one, a lot has changed inside. I realised that it all boils down to the weight and the thickness of the iPhone, which gives you the confidence (read “courage”) to use it with one hand, despite the risk of dropping it.
#Handy note 9 driver
Using the equally massive iPhone 8 Plus as my daily driver for months, I was surprisingly able to type better on the iPhone with one hand. The only problem is that I need to activate this mode every time I unlock the device. Samsung is aware that the Note’s size is overwhelming and like always, has included a one-handed mode that lets you swipe across the display diagonally (or press down on the Home button thrice) to resize the content for smaller hands. It’s definitely a two-handed device and you risk dropping it when using it with one hand, whether you are placing calls or even responding to messages.
Strangely, the Note 9 actually feels large, unwieldy and at times annoying, and I think it's because of those corners, which are not as rounded as on the Galaxy S9.
