Hi everyone, i have some question..

is it too late to buy note 9 right now since note 10 is just like few months away?
I saw the 6/128gb version only RM2515 at shopee quite tempting, will you guys recommend other people to get this phone after using note 9 for so many months?

So far are there any major issue with this phone?

Browsing through the thread, saw people complaining note 9 battery draining fast after latest update, is it true and so its best to not update the firmware if i bought note 9?

About wireless charging, does it work with any other brand wireless charger? Will the battery degrade faster with wireless charging compared to charging with cable?

How about the phone GPS? im using average 2-3 hours of waze / google map daily, does the battery drain fast?

Thanks and appreciate if anyone willing to answer my question

question to all have battery drain issue, did you guys use wireless charging? is it original samsung or 3rd party?

Thanks, appreciate your info

Performance wise no issues for me. Battery life is around 5 to 6 hours sot before i have to charge. Only major issue is the camera buzz issue which is covered under warranty. Apparently it affects first batch of note 9. For me GPS use still ok but then i never really bother much about battery drain so far cause I just charge it when its low. Never really notice any battery drain.

Would I still get it now? Well at that 2.5k price probably this is the best value you can get. Other options would be the base p30 or an s10e (smaller phone+battery). If you don't have an urgent need to upgrade I'd say yeah just save your money and wait for the note 10. Of course getting note 10 at launch is going to cost more too.

I also bought my Note 9 just a month ago, hopefully a different batch from the earlier owners who have the camera problem. I bought from Shopee too, for around RM2.6k

I use wireless charging everyday in my office. No comment on whether the battery degrade faster or not compared to charging with cable. I do use Samsung original fast wireless charging though, a free gift from my earlier phone, the S8+.

I will probably change to Note 10 when it comes, because I would like to have the super wide angle len as per S10, but probably not preorder it (unless the preorder bundles are amazing).
Will wait for it to drop to RM2.6k again and hopefully with the initial problems already ironed out.

I personally don't find 8gb ram on 512gb will do much improvement over 6gb version. So 6gb/128gb version for 2.5k would be great. Performance very nice and fluid. Stigma of samsung phone getting slow over time should be gone now.

And for battery, i realized it's depend a lot on how your telco network area. If bad, then will drain more. Nowadays telcos are having issue with their tower. Might consider that too.

The front camera that unable to focus sometimes, is it the lens problem or software? It seems affected few owners.

I've read/ heard contradicting info about using DeX for note 9. Read note 9 only need type c to hdmi cable to use DeX but guy from Samsung told me cannot. Pening. Btw, has anyone tried this dock before?

what case you guys are using right now?

it works. some of us using it. mine is just a mere rm19 convertor. Those guys just want to sell their product.

4 months away

i would say yes

but if the note 10 is not up to your liking or its way too expensive for anyone

we can always go back to the note 9, im sure they are still selling it + lower price in 4 months time

unless its tempting, can always go with telco

Battery drain is after the battery was charged so it doesn't matter whether the wireless charger is samsung or 3rd party. What matter is the price between samsung and 3rd party's

guys..

regarding accubbattery app...

That Samsung guy is obviously wrong....you can get answer just by googling.

Note 9 so far so good
No issues of battery drain
Can use any wireless charger
All depends on personal preference using the phone

For those who were asking about whether to get Note 9, i still recommend it. But better top up a bit get s10 or s10e lah. Much better processor. On the other hand,my SOT with heavy usage still around a day with 8 hours on screen. So not bad at all.

And for the case, i bought uag ciplak from shopee. Not bad also lah. Two major drops still survive haha
