Watching this on the note9. The exynos processor version has an unlockable bootloader, even if it is slower, that has allowed it to remain a relevant device.
eyy, I am still using my Note 9 despite broken screen glass, mic, and main camera OIS. I have it for 6 years, and up until 2023 I was still considering replacing my phone with the same model if it broke. Every single phone i looked at, had at least 5 aspects that would have not been direct upgrade, That is even if I exclude S-pen and One UI. One phone that l was considering was Fairphone 5 for repairability, but the low performance was a dealbreaker. Now I am looking into Red Magic 10 pro as a potential replacement. For the evolution in cooling, massive battery, and finally no notches or hole punches on screen promised years ago.
It’s impressive how well your Note 9 has held up, even with its screen, mic, and camera issues. It really speaks to how solid that phone was. phones these days in general often feel like trade-offs rather than upgrades. The S-Pen, One UI, the Headphone jack, no micro SD slot and overall feature set of the Note 9... I get why the Fairphone 5 caught your eye with its focus on repairability, but its performance is definitely a weak spot. It’s not easy to compromise on power when you’re used to the smooth performance of a flagship, even one from 2018. The Red Magic 10 Pro seems like a really intriguing choice for you. The full-screen display without notches or holes is a rare find these days, and the focus on cooling and battery life makes it ideal for heavy usage. That said, moving to something like the Red Magic might mean letting go of the S-Pen and the polished One UI experience, which could feel like a loss depending on how much you use them. If you're still considering other options, the Galaxy S24 Ultra feels like the natural successor to the Note 9-it keeps the S-Pen, offers incredible performance, and would feel familiar in terms of the interface. The Note 9's durability is remarkable, despite some screen, microphone, and camera challenges, highlighting its robust design. Current mobile devices frequently present compromises instead of advancements. The Note 9's S-Pen, One UI, headphone jack, and overall feature set (excluding the microSD slot) are noteworthy. The Fairphone 5's emphasis on repairability is appealing, however, its performance limitations are a significant drawback. Maintaining flagship-level performance, even from a 2018 model, is a considerable expectation. The Red Magic 10 Pro presents a compelling alternative. Its full-screen display, lacking notches or punch holes, is exceptional, and its cooling and battery life optimizations are advantageous for intensive use. Transitioning to the Red Magic might necessitate foregoing the S-Pen and refined One UI experience, a potential drawback depending on usage patterns. For alternative considerations, the Galaxy S24 Ultra emerges as a logical Note 9 successor, retaining the S-Pen, delivering superior performance, and offering a familiar user interface.
Using my note 10+ until now. I'm wondering if I should switch? and if so, which one wait for S24U to get cheaper or buy S23U now? The note 10+ has gotten quite slow and the battery dies fast and I have mobile connectivity issues
The S24 Ultra brings improved performance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, brighter display, better zoom, and longer software support. If you can stretch your budget, it’s the better long-term choice. But if the S23 Ultra is cheaper in your area, it’s still an excellent upgrade from the Note 10+ with powerful performance and great cameras.
@hoffenedi I have heard of grain issues and green lines(?) from the S24 Ultra. Should I still be worried about that now? And I guess my actual question is, which of the two would have 'lesser risks' like faulty displays or other common problems or, which is more reliable in the long term?
My experience with the S24 Ultra has been flawless so far. Not even a single bug or error with the screen or anything else. After all, it is bad luck if you get a bad unit, although the probability for it to happen is pretty low. And if you happen get a faulty unit (regardless of whether it's an S24 Ultra or S23 Ultra) and can prove the phone hasn't been physically damaged, Samsung will replace it for free.
Still using note 9 as my daily. Been using since release in 2017. Battery has degraded 20-30% ,other than that, phone works perfect 👍

Still holds up in my opinion.

@hoffenedi I see, if it's okay with you. When did you get the phone because I think it only had problems when it was first produced
I got mine in July...
So thats probably why mine is working perfectly fine.
