Would you buy a Note 9 in 2020? Here's a link to the Amazon Renewed page. amzn.to/3ftKckW
Yes, there nothing SIGNIFICANT about any phone since that would make me want to spend $1500 for a hole in the screen... yeah yeah a few cameras have gotten better, but that’s not worth the price. Processors are negligibly better, frankly I don’t think anyone would notice a difference in day to day use compared to Note9. Even the note8 isn’t much different from the Note9
Helll yeah!
absolutely, If my existing note 9 fails.
PAINFULLY HONEST TECH I would argue oneplus7pro is
I did 2 weeks ago. Great phone for 350 £. No need to spend 1000£ for a flagship phone anymore.
Note 9 gang hit the like😎😎
@Deion Crews Lol got mine Sunday and it is amazing
Love it
Indeed Note 9 Gang!
@@jcooley286 Note 9 gang is in the house
Got my *New model today. She a good one! Note 9, really fine..., Note 10 never again! Just JK lol but Note 9 won't mess you around. He he he
Proud note 9 user here. And by the crap Samsung is doing latelly it will stay in my pocket for a while
Same i'm waiting for graphene batteries
Why do you prefer the note 9 to the newest models?
I ordered note 9 from amazon. Currently on note 5. Can't wait.
@@welcomecreator7653 It has no compromises. Each of the newer models has something lacking.
@@welcomecreator7653 Note 9 is amazing, no compromise, no stupid hole punch, an has a headphone jack with led notifications.
I'm still using the Note9 and the more I look at newer more expensive phones, the more I love this device. There are no compromises in this device. Has everything you could want in a flagship phone without losing any other features. Do I want a gorgeous full screen display? Yes, but the whole punch and the notch makes me vomit a bit when I think about it. Do I want a ultrasonic fingerprint scanner? No thanks. 128GB, expandable storage of 512GB SD card, 6 GB ram, a headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, iris scanner and face detection, pen and a snappy processor with the somewhat latest software is all you can ask for. Oh and did I mention there is a heart rate monitor built into the device. No one talks about why they killed the HRM in 2019. In 2020 to get a flagship for $350 like the note9 with all these features is a steal. I would buy it again especially for that price. It kicks the pants off of any new midrange phone at that price and the flagships right now must be a joke or a way to scam people into spending over 1k on a device that does the same things l, if not less.
Thanks for the video again. Love this series of renewed phones in 2020.

Watching this on my almost 2yr old Note 9, still a beast 🤘
I love how everyone is happy about how great the Note 9 is and is happy that Jason just called it the best phone in 2020 even though it came out in 2018. Remember this because the next time Jason goes on and says anything positive about iOS, or anything negative about Android, many of the same people leaving happy comments here, will have their pitchforks out calling him an iSheep, or an Apple Fanboy while discrediting this channel.
Oh and thanks for the content Jason, the Note 9 is easily the best Samsung release since the S7 in my opinion
Fanboys will be fanboys!
@@markfinlay422 Ain't that the truth
Switching from S7 to note 9 last year, when note 10 was released. Very very satisfied indeed
@@markfinlay422 y iPhone fan??🤗
Watching this on my note 9. Still a beast, head phone on deck.
Love my Note 9! Got an iPhone 11 because I had to use "jump" feature before I paid it off. Watched your reviews on Note 10 & iPhone 11. Thought, "what the hell, I'll go back to an iPhone." Had for 3 days & couldn't send it back to my carrier fast enough! This baby does EVERYTHING and then some! After a almost 1.5 years of HEAVY use, 5000+ pics/videos, still only using 20% of capacity and battery lasts 8 hours or more. But the final decision to stick with the Note 9 was when I realized how much I used my S-Pen when I literally had a real sticky note stuck to the front of that iPhone! Thanks for keeping it honest and real always. 😘📱💰👍💖
Still a Note 9 user... And don't even plan on upgrading 512 storage, 8 GB RAM who would?
Thats what mine is and I'm sticking to it.
i did. so i could keep it longer i thought it worth the upgrade and the money. note 9 is a beautiful beast.
Watching on a Note 8. Still good in 2020. Zippy and fast like the 1st day I got it. Great Pics and video. No need to upgrade... yet
Watching on note 3. Still works great but got a note 9 coming.
Greetings from Australia. Absolutely agree with you. I bought my used note 9 on eBay on a private sale. Not a mark on it perfect condition for $500 Aus. This equates to about $430 US dollars.
I'm happy with it. With the updates it's as good as the Note 10 and some UA-cam reviewers are saying it is better than the Note 10 in audio quality.
As far as phones go I believe that we can't get any better. We are at saturation point now if I can use that term.
Keep the videos coming.
I just ordered a note 9 from amazon renewed today. This will be my first note phone. Super excited!!
Nice. Let me know how you like it!
Good choicee ,i have one and you will not regret, fantastic
You're going to LOVE it! I had a Note 4, switched to an iPhone for a few years but watched review here on Note 9 and got one. Best phone I've EVER had! I rarely, if ever, even turn on my laptop or iPad anymore (only if I'm editing mass pictures or writing an article for work) because this baby does 95% of everything! Enjoy! 😎🤟
The note 9 brand new in box cost $419 on eBay....i mean brand new
dude you should have ordered one from Ebay, brand new for $439 only lol. I got mine two days ago, fucking love it.
I ❤️❤️❤️ my Note 9!
"The only phone worth $1000"
I have been saying this since day 1 when I purchased the my Note 9!
Watching on mine Note9, bought in mid 2019 for half the price of the Note 10. Love it. Best phone I ever used. No intentions to buy another phone at least until mid 2021 or even 2022.
The Note9 IS the last true Note.
UA-cam Algorithm, please push this video
It's informative, it's calming, it's entertaining, it's enjoyable, it's useful and inspiring
Sharing helps sometimes if you’re interested.
@@thejasontlewis I know
By the way, I have NO IDEA if this comment will work or not.
I mean, - UA-cam sometimes asks me if video is one of those things? So, probably?
This is voodoo magic, basically
@@thejasontlewis yeah, shared. Also, screw manufacturers for licking up to Apple and removing headphone jack.
Yes I am still using the Note 9 & I will be using it for at least the next 2 years. New flagship phones are just to expensive & do not justify the upgrade for miniscule gains. Long live the Note 9!
Samsung note 9 user and not planning to change until it goes to paradise 😎
Perfectly fine with my note 9. Grabbed the buds + slapped a new case on my phone and it feels brand new !
I do still have my Note 9 and still runs as beautifully as u say. It's a totally great phone.
Yes it is but it is getting slow you are missing out on faster Flash storage, better cameras and way better battery life
I traded my Note 10 plus yesterday straight up for a Note 9 on OfferUp all for the headphone jack alone. I wanted an LG phone but sadly no takers, lol. Boy oh boy I forgot what I was missing!!! The physical fingerprint sensor instead of smudging the damn screen constantly, the iris scanner which people seem to forget is the most secure way to lock a phone, and the Bluetooth S-Pen is still there with this joint!!!!! Using this phone there is ZERO difference with my real world use lag wise or battery life wise. Will be holding on to this for a LONG while!!!!!!
watching this on a note 9 I got for $300, new, on a superb deal, FeelsGoodMan
Had a Note 7. Loved it. But had to turn it since some were supposedly blowing up, catching on fire, whatever. Had to downgrade to an S7 Edge. Worked, but ugh. Then got a Note 8. Worked, but battery life sucked. Note 9 is the bomb (and not like the 7 supposedly was). Awesome phone!
I did the same transition, minus the note 8. Loved the 7, hated to give it up but have been very pleased with Note 9.
Note 9 user! Bought mine in 2018. I'm still happy with it. First phone I've had in a while that I have wanted to keep more than a year. Lol. Came from an iphone 8 plus. I was an iphone user for years. I have not regretted it. Love the S-pen feature! 😀
Similar story here - came from iPhone 6Plus back in Sep 2018. Note 9 (512GB+8GbRAM) is my first taste of Android phones and am still loving it. Can't see myself changing anytime soon. 👍😊
Great re-review. If I was going to get a renewed Android phone, I believe you’ve convinced me. This would be it.
Watching on my Note 9 😎

Only thing I would want is 5g capability, other than that still an awesome phone
yep, it is still the best phone with the most features and the battery life is still good. My only advice is to not upgrade to oneUI 2 cos with that upgrade, you lose the ability to change photo size. Note 9 is miles ahead of other flagship phones of 2020 in that it has the spen+3.5jack+512gb+never gets hot+hardware fingerprint sensor+dual speakers - where else can you get this combo? Deficiencies? i can only come up witth the wide angle camera. Even in terms of screen, i don't think my s10+ has a better screen so i would venture to say that Samsung has hit its display peak with note 9. subsequent improvements are marginal/gimmicky possibly.
I have both Note 9 and Note 10+, and I actually went back to the 9. The single reason I went back after the Android 10 update was the bezels. In horizontal mode handling was crucial to gaming and accidental touches when taking pictures. That hole punch looks pretty and all, but in practical use, the Note 9 is probably the best phone of the decade.
2020 still rocking mine, got it last year, Android 10 this year, Still pre tty awe soooooomeee! Flagship, great review bro!
Good to know but you are missing out on the wide angle lense, TOF sensor for better portrait and the note 9 was way too thick with its hideous bezels
@@tevin.c8315 Right, but, it's still awe sooooome for me
I'm still using my Note 9. I purchased it after being unhappy with my S10 and how awful its fingerprint scanner was. I have the dual sim 512gb 8gb ram version and I thrash it day in day out for both work and play and it has held up beautifully. While it is fast, the honest truth is compared to the S10, navigating between apps etc is slower for me, and I put that down to the faster storage of the S10 series. Otherwise, I love it, a very solid phone!
The Exynos version of the Note 9 is garbage especially the GPU and battery life, you need the snapdragon version to experience true power and battery efficiency
@@tevin.c8315, unless I import, I don't have an option in the region I live, but I have seen plenty of evidence that backs up what you're saying.
@@nivinhanna Really you haven't seen comparisons well I had both of them and I can talk from experience the Exynos Mali GPU is inferior to the Snapdragon Adreno, the only thing the Exynos really has is the highest single core score in CPU Benchmarks that's all
@@nivinhanna The reason Samsungs Exynos achieves the highest single core scores is because of their custom M4 cores which are very POWER HUNGRY that's why battery efficiency is so horrible with the Exynos flagship processors
@@tevin.c8315, my previous post said I did indeed see prior comparisons.
Been haveing my note 9 for while and to me it's still the best phone I had yet but I got a note 10 off eBay and it stop charging so went back to my note 9
Nice
Watching on my note 9 I've had since launch. Love this phone. I also have the s20 plus but find myself using my note 9 more often. I just love the s-pen! Great video!
Just ordered the Note 9 from the Amazon Renewed as well and got a brand new phone. I had to flash Android 10 but works flawlessly. Loving the phone and glad to be back on the larger size. Totally S pen this whole comment!
The Note 9 On eBay brand new cost $419 so it doesn't make any sense to buy used (renewed) at all
The only issue is we are not going to get android 11. Seriously Samsung. Support your products.
I'm still here with my galaxy note 9 🤭♥️📱🖊️
And yet it will only get updates till 2021. Btw only security updates, no Android version updates. It's a shame.
I think at least we'll have the OneUI 2.1
@@SilvioBritto If I'm not mistaken it'll get the Android update of 2020 but after that only 1 year of security updates. Which still is a shame for such a device.
I just got mine today from Amaz....
It said it was used but from Samsung with a year warranty. The plastic wrap may have been taken off the box but the thing is brand new. Never unwrapped, still had all the stickers on it. 330 bucks.
Coming from my LG v20 this thing is amazing
Nice
Last phone to support virtual reality
I saw most of your videos, and I'm also Note 9 user. But hope you aware of Note 9 discolorization issues after March 2020 updates.
And that is exactly why I own 2 of them.
Both are unlocked and have 8gb/512gb.
Midnight Black and Cloud Silver.
I am still using my Note 9. I did get the 10+, but I returned it. It looks nice and the smaller one actually feels better than the larger one and the display is awesome. Everything else just felt like the 9, and I actually need the headphone jack.
I am a cyclist, and many times when rising my wireless headphones may. Ot be fully charged and they run out on a ride and I used wired headphones for backup.
When I had the 10+, I carried 2 pair of wireless around, and I didn't want too.
I also have the 512GB model and I really dont want to spend so much to get the same on a newer phone.
Unless by new features exceed what I have now, I wont be getting the Note 20 either.
I was not impressed with the S10 Ultra and I hope they dropped the ultra idea for the Note.
At $350, it is a considerably better phone than the $399 iPhone. Even at nearly 2 years old, it is most certainly not outdated.
It is like buying a luxury car 2 years later. It is still in mint condition and you're getting everything it had from when it was new.
This device is better than any iPhone including the latest Pro Max for 1/3 the price.
Only sheep would consider buying and overpriced toy from Apple or even Samsung's latest options.
Been a proud user of the Samsung Galaxy Note9 512GB 8GB RAM Snapdragon 845 version since 24th August, 2018.
Yep, still rocking the Note 9 and having no issues. Would like a lighter phone next time, but will always want the big screen. I lost the stylus a while ago, but I don't miss it - never really found it very useful day to day.
Yellow screen gangs hit like
Still have my Blue 512gb Note9 and like you say...it´s the last True Note. :)
Even "old" it works perfect and for most folks it's a very solid phone.
Back when it came out it's was the phone that had most things folks wanted...they did not skip out on much on the N9.
Different story after tho, now it's back to a Galaxy with a Spen again...AND they keep the crappy Exynos for many countries that they should have change to SD worldwide.
I just got my note 9. I love it 😍
I just ordered this exact phone off amazon from their renewed program and your review makes me feel like i made the right decision. I switched from Apple back to Android a few months ago and picked up a used LG G8X thinQ and I was profoundly disappointed in it's performance overall. Thanks for the review buddy and keep up the good work.
I've had the s9 Plus for a couple of years and really liked it. I couldn't really see anything that I really liked at the moment, so I decided to get a brand new note 9 and save money, I must say that I've been very happy with my decision. Thanks for the review ✌🏻
Picked up my Note 9 from amazon renewed for around $370 in May of 2020. There were a couple very small scratches on the back- nothing to be concerned about,. No complaints here on the condition, but the phone did fall just a little shy of appearing new, which is how they are advertised. Overall, I am very satisfied with this buy, and will probably get 3 or more years of use from it, Buying brand new tech is just a huge waste of money to me. My last 2 phones were on the market for at least a year before I bought them for a lot less than they went for at introduction. I have also picked up $300 headphones for $70 by waiting for the model I wanted to get a couple years old and finding a renewed set on amazon. I still watch reviews for new tech- gotta stay informed on what I'll be looking for in years to come.
I'm saving up and planning on buying a note 9 in November or December.I have a note 8 currently and honestly am perfectly happy with it except the battery life. I laugh at people asking if the note 9 is out of date when the note 8 isn't even out of date.Its a very fast phone with a beautiful screen!
This video urks me bcuz Samsung does not pay full attention to the consumer. As good as this device is, they still move further away from the last great Note. Samsung needs to let Apple b Apple and stop trying to follow suit. We want the headphone jack. We don't want a hole punch. What was wrong with the flat screen??? Bring it all back!
The Samsung galaxy note 9 is an incredible device. When you talk about innovation and productivity it ticked off all boxes in that area. I'm thinking about getting one soon. PS. The UI is upgradable which makes it a good competitor among the new flagships.
Got rid of my Note10+ to stay with my Note 9. The call speaker on the top instead of front and no notification light along with the removal of the haptic home engine made the Note10+ experience less enjoyable for me. I can deal with no headphone jack, but they removed more than that. No iris scanner? C'mon Samsung. I didn't even give the S20 Ultra a glance and I probably won't look at the next Note. I found my perfect phone in the Note 9.
note 9 350 vs the little iphone se2020 400..... Im picking the note 9 (100 out of 100 times) real bang for your buck
Still a loyal Note 9 user. Better than any new Samsung phone. And honestly it's still the best phone on the market. Great camera great headphone jack. Amazing screen. To get something equal I would have to buy an Ultra and in all honesty any newer Samsung would be a downgrade.
I love my note 9. It's my second smartphone, my first was a budget £60 one. I researched for a few weeks before deciding on a note 9. It's the best piece of hardware for your money that's out there, I spent £300 4 months ago. I can't see myself upgrading for a good 3 years or so, beautiful.
What I want in my next phone is an unintended screen, so underscreen cameras, and a full desktop operating system instead of Dex. Dex is cool but it's not quite useful enough to use everyday.
The *ONLY* thing missing is the IR blaster
I was hoping they would bring that back with the note 10+ . I still have my galaxy s5 because of the ir blaster
N 5g.
Note 9 is Awesome!
i was using note 9 6gb 128 but so i could keep it longer i upgraded to the 8gb 512 variant. until i find what i consider a worthy successor.
My note 9 is to date the best phone I've ever used.
The invitation gap is very small and it's not worth it to upgrade to the note 20, Samsung take your time and open your minds and make a note phone worth having. The Note 20 line of phones is a bust, not what we wanted and not worth the money.😤👎
Had a note 9 I had bought for 600 bucks, broke it after a year and got a oneplus 7 pro, I've wanted my Note back ever since
Yes i am using note 9 and waiting for ui. 2.1 update. This phone have all the features if galaxy s20 ultra and note 10
Suddenly yesterday my note 9 display got yellowish, no falling no physical damage.
Then I searched internet to find that I am not alone and a lot of Note 9 users are having this issue. The display is ugly af for some reason. Many are saying some software update has caused it.
My faith in entire smartphone indusrty is ripped off.
Yep still using my Note 9 for media consumption and prefer taking photos on this over my daily driver iPhone 11.
I still think people spent too much on what they should and this kind of video really teaches people something.
Note 9 or Huawei mate 20 pro? Cant decide which to get😂
Been there, Note 9 is the one to go, no regrets
@@aubinbaldonado Thanks!
@@finparry6658 You are welcome
Yep, The note 9 is for me if I can get my hands on one. Great Video
Although I have the LG V60 Thinq q 5G and the Note 10 plus 5G . The Note 9 is still one a hell of a phone in 2020.
The Note 9 On eBay brand new cost $419 so it doesn't make any sense to buy used (renewed) at all
350 Dollars is definitely great price, costs in Germany also as Amazon renewed from 500 Euro ...
Honestly still one of the best phones you can buy. With one of the all time best designs.
Watch this from my note 9
Yes, I put my note 9 on the dresser and went out about a month ago and purchased the S20 Ultra 512gb ($1833.68 with tax at Best Buy) I too couldn't justify the price, returned it a week later & was happy to pay the restocking fee & go back to my Note 9. I still love it !!
One question though: how many years from now such Note 9 will get software Updates? At least 2-3 years or less? You cannot ignore this point ... I´m considering also buying one as renewed, but this question worries me.
Yuri Kostin in your case you wont get any software updates, the last one is 10 and most of the countries received it. But the question is, do you really need it? With every update companies are slowing down their phones, batteries etc... after two years flagships work worse than cheap Chinese crap. The main reason why I bought iPhone was software support, but after a year I turned off all updates and I am happy. Now I keep only for half a year my phone updated before a new model is released, because the new is not faster just old one is slowed down
@@MrLeonardodv Thanks for your point.
Very good review but shaky hands and dark indoor lighting is so annoying while showing the device
I am wainting fore the AMD GPU and better updated phones... maybe s12 or s22 :p
Yep! Still using a note 9! No issues so far. Mine has 8gb of ram and 512 gb of storage
just gonna say, when ppl watch phone reviews they wanna see the phone, not ur face
Watching on my S9, it performs like day one even after 2 years of heavy usage, screen and camera are amazing, and One ui 2.0 is my favorite skin over android. I wish it's eligible to get android 11 though...
Great video !
I'm considering getting the N9. I've always had low budget phones like Moto g6 🤢 can I use the USB cable and connect to my TV and watch Netflix if I purchased the note 9?
Yes
Hi recently I got note9,honestly this is the best phon I used.
okay so i just stopped watching your gaming headset video and i wanted to make sure you responded. so my question is let’s say i have a $150 budget what wireless gaming headset would you recommend for me?
The HyperX wireless. I for get the name right off the top of my head but they're about $130
Excellent work, JTL! My Note9 still does everything I need it to do, from productivity to gaming, and does it well. I plan to keep it until it kicks the bucket, which is hopefully far in the future.
I got the note 10 plus. Sometimes I wish I had gotten the note 9 and I'd have a headphone jack and saved a couple hundred bucks
The Note lineup is known to age well.
Got the note 9 when it came out. Switched to the iPhone xs max. After 9 months I had a chance to play with the note 9 again and I remembered why I loved it so much. Bought the 512gb version.
If newer phones were marginally more expensive due to their marginally increase in specs, I would consider switching phones.
Another reason why I'm keeping this is because when I broke the back, I got a new battery installed too. It's good to go for another few years.
Hi, thanks for the re-review, please look up accubattery in the Play store to check the battery capacity. Mine is 89% after buying it as soon as it came out in August 2018. I've only charged to 80% and never let go below 30% most of the time to help keep the battery with longer life
I bought a Note 8. I'm not missing anything as far as looks or performance.
Yes you are missing out on audio with that mono single speaker
@@tevin.c8315 And battery.
i have one but it get some green screen when brightness over 25%, i dont know how to fix this but i was a great phone
I really need my headphone jack. It has all that I need at and want. I am a note 9 fan and I will wait and see what they do with the note 20. For now though I'm a Note 9er
Still rocking my Note 9 since 2018.
Never felt the need to upgrade no anything, still rocking a Note 9 because everything you said.
I got a almost 2 year old note 9 and for the first time im not eager to get the latest and greatest. It still does everything that a note 20 ultra can do. Only the battery life is less than it used to be. Thnx for the re-review!
Nice
I want to buy Note 9 in 2020 ❤

just bought note yesterday brand new sealed £400 loving it have a note 10 plus aswell but find with the note 9 you get less accidental touches on the side of screen which is much better
Where did you get that from mate? Would love to pick one up
note 9 is the last real note, until they remove that punch hole and make it full screen again just like how a real note should be
Nice
I bought my note 8 refurbished and it was flawless.
Im using the note5 in 2020
What about updates ??
