BRAND NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 128GB (₦200,000)
The Galaxy Note 9 looks exactly like the Galaxy Note 8 from the front at first glance. But Samsung has made a few changes, some of which debuted on the Galaxy S9 and some specifically to fit in the bigger battery and the ever-so-slightly bigger screen (6.4 inches). Like the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy Note 9’s top bezel is darker to better hide the iris sensor and front-facing camera. The phone is also slightly wider. That isn’t noticeable, however, unless you compare it side-by-side with an S9+ or Note 8, as Samsung has used a process called dia-cutting for the phone’s edges to make it look slimmer than it is. Not that the Note 9 isn’t a big phone, but it’s not necessarily less convenient to use than a Galaxy Note 8 or even a Galaxy S9+.The Galaxy Note 9 comes with the Exynos 9810 SoC in most countries and the Snapdragon 845 in others, with 6GB of RAM on the base model. Performance on the phone is great, and it’s more consistent than the S9+ as well, thanks to Samsung’s tendency to better optimize software on its Note devices. Gaming performance is excellent, too, but I’m not sure if there is a difference in how warm the phone can get despite the upgraded water cooling system inside.
