Also, this model boasts a long work without recharging. In a quiet mode of use, the device can easily withstand two days.

In terms of hardware, the Note 9 is on par with other 2019 flagship phones. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 or Samsung Exynos 9810 processor, depending on the region of sales, and without any slowdowns it will pull out all the “heavy” applications and games.

The Infinity-O design pushes the display to the very edge of the phone, leaving only a small round cutout for the selfie camera. In fact, the Galaxy S10 is one of the most compact phones with a screen larger than 6 inches. And HDR10 + support helps improve contrast and color on the fly.
