Samsung Galaxy Note 9 128GB Dual SIM Midnight Black – Italy

Not the latest Note but top quality Android10 phone at a decent price. I went from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (which I loved but was getting slow after about 5 years) to Moto G4 plus (pretty good but starting to slow and run out of space) to this a year ago. I just love having a Samsung again and especially a Note, I use the pen frequently for DIY drawings and things to remember. It's still so fast and loads of memory free. Seems to pick up wifi and phone mast signals better than wife's Samsung A71 (though photos seem slightly more "colourful" on the A71). Fingerprint reader and face recog are fast and consistent. Love the wireless charging, NFC, headphone jack, SD card slot. Excellent call quality. My daughter went from Moto G5 to this a couple of months ago and absolutely loves it. She had wanted a smaller screen phone (has v small hands) but manages the bigger screen and can't put it down.

I don't want to speak too soon however my experience so far has been too class. My device came the next day which was a day earlier than expected. I was a bit dubious about the device because it was really cheap compared to other websites. However when it came it was all sealed and in a brand new condition. I have had a couple of Samsung phones before however moved away to another brand for 6 months before cutting my losses and moving back to Samsung. This was the 1st Galaxy Note I've owned and I love it. Highly recommend. The new One UI interface is brilliant compared to the old TouchWiz that they used before. Overall I highly recommend this and don't be put off my the cheap price, so far I've found it to be nothing other than genuine!

I adore the Galaxy Note series. My Note 8 has a cracked screen and is out of warranty. I originally planned to get another Note 8 as I'm nowhere near a Samsung repair place (and a new screen would cost almost as much as the Note 8 now that the Note 10 is out) but I decided to pay a little bit extra and go for the upgrade to the Note 9. Just after I did, the news came out that they weren't rolling out Android 10 to the Note 8, so I was even more delighted. I nearly splashed out on the Note 10, but in reality this more than meets my needs. I'm able to stream films to my heart's content, and use social media. The phone is almost the same overall size and weight as the Note 8, but the screen appears bigger. The battery life is much better, and it recharges quickly. The camera is superb, especially in low light, which is an improvement. I really like the stylus, though I get a bit annoyed when it "runs out of juice" even though I'm just using it to tap and scroll - it doesn't actually need battery for these functions, so I get annoyed by the notification. It does recharge very quickly. Fingerprint sensor is much better than on the Note 8, and is in a better location below the camera rather than beside it, so fewer instructions to clean the lens!! Overall, I think it is fabulous!

If like me you want to be an ex-iPhone user, 15+ years for me and iPhones, then you would be advised not to purchase the Note 9. The Bixby button on the side is dreadful, Bixby irritates the hell out of me and will probably you as well, whilst sitting in your pocket or purse it will start to phone your contacts, suddenly the Brightness goes from Bright to Dark, it seems to need constant and varying control by the user and yet there is something worse than all of the above. The 4G does not work correctly. Traveling exacerbates the situation, as you go from cell to cell 4G does not work at all until stationary, sitting in a traffic jam on the M5. Additionally, Bluetooth does not work correctly & when using speakerphone for phone calls it clicks out constantly so you can't hear your caller. Wish I saved my money and bought an iPhone. Be warned.

The mobile is first class, two wee concerns being. 1. After signing the postman’s delivery book I went into kitchen to open envelope. Inside the box had a seal Stating do not sign for if this seal is broken, I was Not given this opportunity to examine box. Thankful the seal was perfect, but what would have happened had it been broken. 2. I can’t read French, I had to download English instructions. I must add so far I’m very happy with my new mobile. I hope these are fair comments. PS. It would be handy to have the companies telephone number or email address Amazon could not even provide me with this information.

I love this phone. I had the S9+ because the note wasn't out at the time when my phone died. Now I have it I am extremely pleased with my purchase. As a child I always had mud on my face and a notepad in my pocket, I grew up scribbling things down and drawing up ideas for wild projects, so the S-Pen is a welcomed addition to what basically is the S9+. I purchased the 512gb version, I am a heavy PC user, immediately I put a lot of music and favourite videos filling up 100gb day one, so I can absolutely justify getting the bigger version. The note taking is great, I love the S-Pen, the battery is good, but if you have the always on display to see your on display notes, it drains the battery a lot. I was using it at first, but I have had to turn it off. Unlocking the phone to see pinned notes is good enough. I've had no issues with the phone, it runs perfectly, it's fast and fluid. I absolutely love this device, almost all the video reviews on youtube agree that it is a fantastic phone.

As you can see on the pictures the phone is in perfect condition except the minor damage on the left upper corner but you would expect this from a used phone, that's why it's cheaper than a new one. I think over time you could damage a new one too, like I did when I bought a brand new Note 4 and dropped it multiple times until I had the same mark on the corner :D All the hardware works, at least everything that I've tested so far, most importantly camera, fingerprint, iris sensor .... these all work just fine so 430 pounds was definitely worth it, you also get 1 year warranty which is much better than 3 months that you usually get with other companies. If I have to tell some cons I would say no accessories included at all not even the box itself. I don't know if this applies for all their phones or mine was a specific. You only get a usb-c cable for charging, a sim opener ohh and my favourite, some HARIBO bears :DDD I instantly had smile on my face when I saw them in the package :PP

Update: topspeaker does notappear to be working so call volume too low. Fine on headphone or speaker phone, media playback fine. Done all software checks. So must be the hardware. Will have to get repair or refund. Appears to be as described. Tiny scratch on case. Clean screen. Haven't used fingerprint scanner. The battery life isnt too good, have to charge nightly despite minimal use during day (no calls just emails n internet use). But appears to be working as normal/new.
