More phone that even I can use.
I bought this phone all the way back in August 2018 and have waited until now to share my experience with this amazing phablet. I will list the pro's and cons that I found in my experience.Pros:1. Amazing Battery Life - Honestly, the amount of screen on time is just ludicrous. I watch hours of Netflix, Youtube, Crunchyroll, etc... on my phone and I don't often need to charge my phone after doing so. Mind you your experience will vary depending on what screen resolution & brightness you prefer. I had mine at FHD+ resolution with about 60% brightness most of the time and even when I stepped up to the highest display resolution I did not feel a significant difference in battery life.2. Fingerprint Scanner - Quick and generally reliable unless your fingertips are moist then the scanner is like *insert Loki meme about how I've never met this man in my life here*. Best position for the fingerprint scanner to be instead of how it was like on the S8 series.3. Cameras - I'm not anywhere close to being on the level of using the camera's as often as Youtuber's like LTT, MKBHD, Detroit Borg, etc.... but the low light performance is just astounding. Give the sensor as much light as you want and you can take some pretty good pictures with it.4. S-pen - Great for taking notes at a moment's notice or writing a list. As a college student, especially one dealing with nursing professors, it was extremely handy because we sometimes were with the instructor in a different room where we left our laptops behind in the lecture room and you don't have to carry around a notepad & pen. Just this chunky phone boi that you could toss at someone in self-defense.5. Self-defense viability - With the case that I have on it, I feel confident to use it as a projectile if need be.6. Speakers - Having duo speakers instead of just the mono downward firing one that you can easily muffle with your palm while holding the phone is a great boon here.7. Reliability - Have still not experienced anything close to battery life/performance degradation just yet with my use.8. Headphone Jack - To some people that are tech enthusiasts and see this as a relic I like my headphone jack and see no real reason it's getting removed from devices.9. Waterproof Rating - Samsung pays extra money for this kind of testing and while you shouldn't go swimming with it in your trunks it's nice knowing your device is less likely to die if you accidentally drop it into water or it gets splashed.Cons:1. Face/Iris Scanner : My only gripe with this is that it is painfully slow compared to One Plus's facial recognition. Mind you Samsung's is more secure than One Plus's but I feel Samsung can easily improve this aspect of the phone.2. The packaging for my Dex Pad and Duo Wireless Charger arrived damaged. The units inside were in perfect condition but for the price you paid at release of this phone I would think it's not too much to expect them to be undamaged.3. Price - This phone will make your wallet cry but there is a lot of value to this phone. As I'm currently writing this review I'm seeing the Note 9 128GB Phone (the same one I have) going for $775 on Amazon. Not cheap by any means but certainly cheaper than its on release price.If you read my entire review thank you for doing so. I'm by no means close to reviewing the phone in as much detail as the Youtuber's I mentioned before so if you want check them out for more information. I absolutely love this device and will probably sit on it for several years. I've seen the leaks for the Note X but it doesn't interest me at all and my wallet thanks me for that. Even with my listed cons it's still an amazing phone worthy of a 5/5 star rating.

The future is in your pocket
Let's get this out of the way: It's expensive, I bought the 512GB version (for the 8gb ram); For all of that expense, I wish Samsung would just let us have the choice of what to do with the Bixbi button out of the box instead of having to download BxActions to remap it. Samsung already has our money, funneling customers right into the Samsung revenue stream just seems greedy. Having said all that, none of that is insurmountable, just mildly annoying.I've given a lot of the Samsung software features a chance and to be honest there's more to like than dislike.Launcher: I really miss the Google Feed from my Pixel XL and getting out of the habit of sliding over to the left to access it is tough to break; I just remapped (with BxActions) my Bixbi key to the Google Feed, but am using the Samsung launcher with a nice dark theme. The app drawer, the Samsung calendar, homescreens, all are very nice and smooth.Edge Apps: I just discovered today that you can use the Edge launcher app to have an easily-accessible home row of apps without having to dump out the Home Screen from whatever app you're in to launch into another app.Gallery: The editing features built into the Gallery app is top-notch and pretty easy to use.S-Pen: This is the reason you buy a Note, and this version of the S-Pen is the best yet; Screen Off-Memo and the accompanying Samsung Notes application is so natural and instinctive to use; Yank out the S-Pen while the screen is off and start writing, everything is auto-saved; gorgeous!Keyboard: I didn't think anything topped the G-Board, but with a little bit of tweaking to your liking, the Samsung keyboard is phenomenal; I find that it's far smarter to suggest common words that Gboard, has a nice floating keyboard option for games, and when you pull out your S-Pen, it flips to a very capable handwriting interface...I've started using this to take notes which are quickly and accurately transcribed into text in any app.The camera is fast and competent, with LOTS of features...If you spend a lot of time in the camera tweaking settings, this will keep you occupied for a while.Finally there's Dex mode, which I've found to be JUST ABOUT as good a replacement for a desktop machine. Google Docs and Office 365 are present and accounted for and work well, the Chrome browser switches to a tabbed mode in Dex mode, and multi-tasking is adequate, but not perfect. You can even play games with mouse and keyboard! It's not PERFECT, of course, you're still running mobile apps, some of which refuse to play nice on a desktop setting, but they work well for the most part, and for my use cases, fulfills 90% of what I need a home desktop for. I haven't tried any series IDE work or video editing with Dex, but the apps are there, ready to be used.All of this great stuff is wrapped up in a beautiful metal-and-glass package with battery life that lasts all day, a beautiful 6.5" 1440p screen with the deepest possible blacks and bright, vibrant colors, and stereo speakers that pack a punch in such a small package. Samsung really went all-out on the hardware of this device, and I'm looking forward to making it my main computing platform.
