[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] FYL21:
Actually I get a fair bit of shutter lag in Auto mode, especially in low light. The paused image isn't actually the one captured. Maybe this is due to focusing and post-processing but there is still shutter lag with HDR turned off. It also seems to me as if the 2X lens actually has less shutter lag than the main camera, but both have a tendency to favour low ISO and shutter speed (great for scenery but poor for pets or kids). In Pro Mode there's virtually no shutter lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ZayaanAhyaan:
Well i got a quick workaround for shutter lag while taking quick pics at low/indoor lighting conditions

Apparently it's the autofocus speed that causes the lag for me..... instead of trying to take successive pictures while holding the camera still , move the camera slightly or just give it a quick jerk and it immediately refocuses and clicks.....was able to get same speed shots as my note 8 this way

Sorry if i wasn't able to explain myself better

The best thing about the One UI update is the ability to get rid of the navigation bar and use gestures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] robhug:
will/do the Exynos variant support faster charging than s8, something similar to quick charge 4.0 or even 3.0? as on s8 adaptive fast charge is same as quick charge 2.0 so hope it will improve
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] 0alfred0:
I am sure they had mentioned it if they changed it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] MarcusNow:
Can anyone who has a Galaxy Note 9 measure it using an USB wattmeter or multimeter?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] gCloud:
Does anyone know if the wireless charger that has just been released with the note 9 (the single pad not the duo) charges faster than the convertible wireless charger released with the s8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] gCloud:
I looked up the specs of the Samsung fast wirless charger pads that came out with the S8, S9 and the Note 9 on the FCC, and all 3 have the same power spec, so they probably all charge at the same speed.

The Duo that has just been released can draw more power, probably due to needing to charge 2 devices.

the F@$%

why is Samsung insist on stucking in the past and can't move on.

quick charge 4.0, charge 5 minutes get 5 hours battery life. I wonder how many percent is that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] robhug:
very true, Exynos are great but as they are not Qualcomm we are stuck with Samsung rebranding of Qualcomm FC 2.0.. great

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] alltaken123:
Is the latest Quickcharge technology compatible with Samsung's 95% after 1 year battery promise? (Applicable to Note 8, waiting on confirmation for Note 9)

I'd lay odds on the feature being omitted for battery reasons at this stage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] GouryellaIV:
If it works with Note 8, i see no why it shouldnt with 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] alltaken123:
So the Note 8 has faster charging than the 9? My response was getting at that QC has not got faster on the 9 due to Samsung maintaining the 95% promise, it might not be possible under a faster QC....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Drunk Piano:
heard huawei announces put next-generation super charge technology on mate20, Samsung did no good on charge and battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] illetyus:
It is actually so fast, it got me worried that i'd damage the battery. So i disabled it. Normal charging is fast too. (Faster than iphone 8 plus standart charger)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] alltaken123:
How is yours faster than the charging times I posted on the first page?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] illetyus:
How do you check battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] rowihel2012:
Not satisfied with battery life and fast charging is a big joke besides my old p20 pro ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] iggibar:
People, don't forget, you're charging a much larger battery. It's not really comparing apples to apples unless the batteries are all 4000mAH. So, if you quick charge your 4000mAH battery, and adds 20% of battery power in 15 minutes, it added 800mAH, while charging a 3000mAH battery for the same amount of time will also add 800mAH of battery life, but will show that it charged 26% of the battery. IT'S THE SAME THING, and it didn't charge it any faster!!! A larger battery is going to take more time to charge than the previous Note 8 battery!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] holywhitebread:
Common sense ain't so common, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] SAO:
coming from a P20pro... it's slow. I really wonder why they didn't upgrade to QC 4... at least
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Tidbits:
They don't have a fast enough charging system for their Exynos processors. They could have at least used PD2.0 to make it uniform and deliver faster charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] rockbastard:
I can't find the wireless fast charging menu, its mentioned in the manual but there, I have a Exynos model? Do any of you have the option? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] aznmode:
This is using my note 7 fast charger. Note 9 is double the mah charge input vs note 8. I do notice note 9 charges faster than my note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] fulcrum1971:
The option isn't there in the Note 9 but it fast charges when you connect one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
So the note 8 and 9 chargers are different? I'm talking about the black brick wired charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] aznmode:
They're all the same chargers. Note 7 is just white. But just wanted to point out I was using the one for 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] star12133:
Here is my Note 9 fast charging at ~50% battery life.

This is consistent with what the charger is rated for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] elpindian:
I know past Samsung devices that supported fast wireless charging wouldn't have the option to toggle fast wireless charging on or off until you've used a fast wireless charger at least once. Can anyone else confirm this? First thing I did when I opened my note 9 was throw it on a fast wireless charger so my option is showing in the accessories section of my settings menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] rockbastard:
I was at Samsung service and promotion center in Copenhagen yesterday and, can confirm that the menu shows up after using a fast charger the first time. My old wireless charger (bought it for the note 4) is not "fast" although says so on the front...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] hinnn:
Is your phone Snapdragon CPU?

Mine is Exynos, I never get 9v during charging, always around 4.5v with original charger and cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] iKocka11:
Try AMPERE app , you can download it for free on PlayStore !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] DeanSF:
Its not as fast as i would like but it meets my expectations
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] rowihel2012:
Charging speed really makes me upset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Spudals:
I know this is old, but thought I'd reply for others..

If you are using a charge only cable the phone will not fast charge, you need to use a charge & sync cable, as the phone will actually communicate with the charger via the cable to enable the fast charging.

(This is done so the charger doesn't just pump 9v into whatever device connects to it, the 9v fast charge feature has to be acknowledged by the connected device)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] preetikishor:
I can't find the wireless fast charging menu, its mentioned in the manual but there, I have a model? Do any of you have the option?

I ve been a samsung fanboy since forever and after seen what my wife huawei p30 pro charge and drain battery all i can say is: Why Samsung? Huawei p30 pro can last easily 12 hours of screen and can charge from 0 to 70% in only 30 min 0 to 100% in 55 min. Note 9 can last only 8 hours screen and charge from 0 to 100 in 2 hours. And my note 9 overheat if camera is in function more than 10 min or when navigate waze in car when charging in hot day. Why samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Flica77:
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 take 1h 30min time to charge 30% to 100%..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] omnimax:
They've been very cautious with batteries, both charging and size, after the exploding Note 7. But it's annoying indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] TawkinTrash:
It charges really fast from 0 to like 80.

From 80 to 100 it goes slower with the slowest at 99%.

Once you top it out at 100% it holds its charge a lot longer.

Seems to drain quicker if don't charge it to 100.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:

I am so happy with the battery life, it is so good after Note 8. This is the result after 4 days of usage with Note 9

Is that on wifi only? or also 4g?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] iko11:
Including 4G as well, I was out of home between 11.30-17.30 and 4G was on all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Drunk Piano:
guess that can't hold on for one day , although i don't have one .:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Zappapp:
This screen on time is pretty similar to what many get in Note 8 . So reviewers r right, there is very little or marginal battery life improvement as compared to N8 .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Josh LaCelle:
There are no reviews out. Just first impressions. And most are crap. Android Pit just posted on article where he got 9 hrs of SOT over the weekend. That is pretty damn good if that keeps up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Cool Person:
Note 9 seems to gain 1+ hour only of screen on time compared to note 8. Regulary my Note 8 when it reaches 30% my SOT becomes 3.30 at max brightness (seems like note 9 SOT becomes 4.30 SOT). My note 8 with optimisation delivers me 6.30-7 hours SOT with 16 hours usage (using both wifi and mobile data).

Its predictable since battery is 20% increased only.

Next year they should pull 5000 mah. Still good job,sammy.

I am pretty sure those who optimize there phones will gain more than this.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Josh LaCelle:
My point exactly there are no reviews out yet! Toms guide is not reliable at all!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Cool Person:
Well come on 700 Mah more won't give you 2 hours SOT. Impossible. If your Phone lasts all day long (like me I get 6.30-8 Hour SOT in 16 hours period with black theme and optimization). Then no reason to upgrade, specially with barley any camera improvements or ui changes.

Josh from Android authority reported 5 hours SOT while taking too many pics during his day.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Josh LaCelle:
Another stupid review site that shouldn't be linked too.

Nobody knows until it is in the hands of people and reviews come out from legitimate sources. So far I seen a huge improvement from different reviewers on Twitter who posted screenshots. Either way, if you don't want to upgrade that is fine. Nobody is forcing you too.

Also, Joshua Vergara had 40% left after that. So at least be honest!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Zappapp:
Bro., no point in getting angry. Would love to buy N9, but trying to ascertain facts before i spend 1000 plus Dollars on this one. Everybody has the right to find & discuss facts and decide . Some facts may eventually turn out to be propaganda, maybe positive or negative. So, relax and lets try finding out facts, we are not pronouncing any judgements here and moreover, no body is going to listen to me or you if we praise or post negative about N9, everybody has the sense to Google or maybe look for actual life reviews and decide .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Josh LaCelle:
I'm not mad lol I just don't like people not posting all the facts. And you left at some important facts. The battery having over 40% left is huge with that usage.

I am not holding out much hope. But like I said I like facts. I could have a 6000mah battery and use it in half a day lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Zappapp:
Stop blaming me for something i haven't posted . Some other member has posted on N9 review of Android Authority. Check your facts before shooting your guns .

Pretty cool but not impressive considering you can get the same battery life on Note 8 (6.30-8) with black theme and optimisation. Note 9 seems to give you 1+ more screen on time than the note 8 as expected from 20% battery increase.

The Note 9 had 15% battery compared to a dead s9+.

It all comes to day to day usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] alex989898:
Your comment is plain stupid.

I don't play game on my phone (except occasionally on emulators, but mostly I use my PS4, my switch or my PC to play games. And I don't play the kind of game that are power hungry on smartphones cause I seriously wonder who want to play PUBG on tactile) and I don't use social media at all (I have a Facebook account only to use Messenger...).

So, what should I do ? Change my usage patterns just to please you ?

I use my phone to text, call, watch videos on Netflix or YouTube, listen to music in streaming, do maths using the stylus, take photos, browse internet, send email, use a lot of apps, ...

My usage might not suit you but it's mine and yes, even with that usage, I'm happy to have 6h SoT with 50% battery left because with the same usage I have never had a phone that give me this kind of battery life.

And concerning the fact that I might be a Samsung fan, I'm certainly not. The Note 9 is the first Samsung phone since the Note 4 that I brought because I think it's my best option. It's been 4 years that Samsung hasn't been my first choice (I brought a Note8 only cause the Pixel 2XL wasn't available in my country and I still think the Pixel 2 XL was a better phone).

Ps : I don't use dark themes (except on YouTube because it's new)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] RANJITH THRISSUR:
Do anyone else thinks that when it comes to battery efficiency, exynos is better than SD845?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] gCloud:
I think most reports point to the opposite. There will be side by side comparisons soon enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Two years ago maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] RANJITH THRISSUR:
The reason iam asking is , samsung can work further to optimize the exynos considering its only used in samsung..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] androFRUST:
Im thinking based on the S9+ SOT threads, your wait is going to be futile. Doesnt seem like they're getting anything from samsung and this exynos chip is nearing the end of its 1 year lifecycle. They may already have dedicated their resources into developing the next gen exynos chip. Guess every chip maker will have their hits and misses just like the Snapdragon 810 with their heating isssues. Doesn't hurt to pray nonetheless. :( I have already given up with Note 9, just go with it and bring a charger along wherever you go. Ever since my LG G4, battery life never seemed to have made headways in innovation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] hackdrag0n:
No it hasn't and probably won't until someone comes up with a new cell technology. Personally I think the removable battery was our best bet for off charger longevity but nothing has those anymore. Just gotta manage as best we can with external power packs or just grab a few percent of charge whenever we can.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] illetyus:

Last weekend I was away from my charger so I used the opportunity to keep an eye on the battery.

After 44 hours off charge I was down to 40% with 2 hours SOT. I turned BT off and made sure I had the phone face down so AOD would be off while not in use.

I think that's pretty good... Exynos chip.

2 weeks post August OTA update(exynos). Same "measures" , mentioned in my last screenshot post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] flipsonic:
Exynos/128GB/6GB RAM

FHD

Brightness - Around 40% to 50%

Power Saving Mode - OFF

AOD - ON

16 hours on battery with 6 hours SOT is great. Wish it could last at least 2 hours more on battery, so that I wouldn't have to charge it until after 11pm. But it's the best battery life I've had so far.

My day usually consists of watching videos on my commute to work (1 hour there amd back). 4g (no WiFi) during my 8 hour work day, Spotify, browsing internet, social media and YouTube occasionally (regularly ;)). Wifi when I get back home to do more of the same.

With my Note 8 I had to fully charge it during work and also top it up before I left work, to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] adelistiawan:
Same settings, Exynos 128/6GB
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] beta546:
I'm really really happy with the battery life. I mean 4 hours SOT with a 40 min phone call and still on %60, that's pretty good

Oh and I'm completely stock, just disabled about 90 apps with adhell, screen brightness pretty low as I've been inside all day it's about %20, and that's plenty bright enough. Resolution fhd, battery optimisation turned off for things like WhatsApp Facebook messenger, Gmail and such to not mess with notifications, all apps that can be permanently sleeping, are sleeping and mobile data and GPS on the entire time. I'm impressed.

Anyone who shifted from note 8 to note 9... can you temme is battery life improvement was worth it? #exynos #dualsim
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] billu:
Went from exynos note 8 to note 9

On 3G, SOT improved from 6 to 8 hrs+

On WiFi, from 8 to 11 hrs+

I have dark theme, FHD+, medium power setting, sync, location AOD disabled. Only have data/wifi on when using the phone and not all the time.

I have the phone on airplane mode at night and uses around 1% in 5 hrs.

The dual stereo speakers with Dolby atmos are worth mentioning too. It's the best sound from a phone I have come across. View attachment 4596530

Using without powersaver on, and posting would have helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] billu:
I have described my usage and documented the results.

I find my configuration plenty quick enough and not at all limiting. If you have a Ferrari, you don't need to drive it with the pedal to the metal at all times to enjoy the ride.

Everyone's usage is different, so it's not going to answer everyone's query.

Hopefully someone will post their experience with it on full power.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Yes, that Ferrari is giving 1000 miles per gallon, ofcourse when you are pushing it everywhere.

Anyways, you mentioned "power saving" as "power setting" I think, that I couldn't understand first , hence was my first response. :good:
