The Note 9 doesn’t come in black.
That was the second biggest surprise Samsung had for me during my Note 9 briefing earlier this week. The first was the price: $1,000 for the 128GB base model and an eye-popping $1,250 for the 512GB version. That’s $100 more than the top-of-the-line iPhone X (which only has 256GB of storage) for those keeping score. So Samsung’s Note 9 brings another first for the Android world: sticker shock.
Otherwise, Samsung’s newest phablet is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be, what with an endless stream of leaks and rumors spilling nearly every bean there was to be spilled. I already knew about the processor, the new S Pen, the storage increase, and the AI camera.Â-The Note 9 is basically a Note 8 (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3221396/android/galaxy-note-8-review.html) with Galaxy S9+ specs (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3242214/android/samsung-galaxy-s9-features-specs-release-faq.html)Â-and a more logical fingerprint sensor placement.
