Is it even worth getting a note now with the s9+

Originally, the note was the ultimate 'phablet' because phones were smaller, but now every phone is a phablet, especially the s9+, is there even a point to getting a Note now?
Apart from the pen

For the retail price nope. But if i had the money to spend i would get a note for around $550 which i see new on ebay. Instead of the $850 for the plus.

I have both, for now. While I do miss the S Pen from time to time, the 9+ is definitely the better device.

I'm a long time Note user and went S8+>Note8>S9+. The Note8 isn't much bigger than the S9+ statistically but it's bulkier in every day use and viewable screen area isn't that much bigger on the Note. My biggest beef with the Note8 vs. earlier Notes is 18:9 isn't a great format for note taking. It felt awkward trying to write on that narrow a display which was compounded by the curved edges. I have a Tab S3 and its my lone S Pen device for now. The Note-series used to leap frog the specs of the S-series but outside the dual lens camera and more RAM that didn't happen this round. I'd still be interested in the Note9 if it isn't a bigger-for-no-reason rehashed S9+ with a pen.

Yeah me too. I miss the S-pen from time to time but when u was using the Note 8, I didn't use thes-pen, even from time to time.
I'm keeping both for a little while longer. S9+ better phone in every way for me, for my use.

agree, would only go back to the note if I needed the pen on a daily basis, the pen is nice but I would rather they use that space for battery lol

Just came from a note 8 to the s9+. S9 is better in all ways and don't miss the spen at all. Plus this is just a better looking device and feels better to use

The bulkiness of the Note 8 was what made me upgrade.

Yeah. I used the S Pen heavily when I had the Note4, Note Edge, Note5 and Note7, but found myself using it significantly less with my Note8 for whatever reason. I would almost forget about it until I had to select some small text, edit an image with instructions and notes for a client, or create/accept electronic signatures.

I have never used my S-Pen, not even on my 12.2 Pro. I am considering making the switch. I can get one for $650 out the door and I just sold my other Note 8 for $550, so not much out of pocket.

The battery on s9+ is a godsend. I took off charge at 3am, read news for half hour, listened to spotify on way to work(40mins), worked a 12 hour shift, spotofy on way home and alot of texting on breaks at work and 62% at bedtime at 930pm. Work has alot of areas with no reception so standby usage was 1.8% per hour instead of the usual 0.5% when there is a strong signal.

Yeah I was just testing the stand by on mine today. I unplugged a little over 17 hours ago and didn't turn on any sort of power saving features. Just let the phone sit and do it's thing. Over the course of that time it only dropped from 100% charge down to 96% charge and then when I picked it up to use it I updated a bunch of apps which dropped it down another 4%. But 4% discharge over 17 hours is pretty remarkable in my opinion.

BarryH, I agree 100% with your statement. My biggest gripe with the note series is the curved edges. It's almost impossible to write as you get to the curve edges, which lite you stated the screen is narrower. Note series needs to have a flat screen for better Spen functions.

Question Screen refresh rate in S22 Ultra

Hi, does anybody have a legit/real life information regarding the real refresh rate in S22u?
Does it go down all the way to advertised 1 Hz? I've seen some scraps of info stating that it's only capable of 24 Hz.
*pre-order confusion intestifies*

refresh rate for s22u hasn't changed from originally advertised. for more info see

Thanks for the reply. I've seen the official, updated statements regarding S22/S22+ refresh rates but I was wondering whether someone is already using the S22u and can check/ report how it works IRL.
For instance IceUniverse Claimed it's only going down to 24 Hz - see below

I'm thinking the 1hz is reserved for special scenarios? idk how this all works but I highly doubt they'd lie about that. People were all saying Samsung lied and that it only goes down to 48hz... obviously that was fake news.

It sound really plausible that 1 Hz is used only in certain circumstances e.g. AOD. Which is why I decided to ask if some of early users/testers are here with us on the forum and could try it out

They said s21 ultra would go down to 10hz and it only went as low as 48hz so I’d expect same old bs

Apparently the hype train is derailing as first users report glitchy, buggy software, and disappointing performance including the refresh rate(24 Hzvs declared 1 Hz) and SOT.
The question tho is whether they can fix it with incoming updates.
At the moment I'm seriously considering cancelation of the pre-order and sticking to current n20u

Cancel it! If you are already trying to find fault with it then why bother.
The 1 HZ has to be a static screen so that means no notification bar, nothing that is being updated in the background. So a photo in full screen would probably reach the 1 Hz that you seem so hung up on.
You're talking about spending £1200 on a phone and the killer feature that it claims reaches 1 Hz.

Why do you seem so upset that he's upset. Let the man have his opinion

Ice universe claimed the s22+ can go down to 24hz not the rumored 48hz that was going around. Read the tweet you posted. He clearly says s22+. The ultra goes down to 1hz like Samsung says but no one has actually tested it to see what scenario makes it go down that far. There’s no reason to believe Samsung is lying until someone can prove they are lying.

This is not claiming the ultra goes to only 24hz. He says atleast the + can go to 24hz because of the previous rumor that it can only go down to 48hz. He’s just showing the ultra for comparison.

I've shown the tweet from IceUniverse, because it was one of the first legit source I could find. It's not that I'm obssed with the 1 Hz, it's just that I don't like to be lied. Since there's a discrepancy between the claims and actual state in S22/S22+ it was sheer curiousity to check how's like in S22U
So far first users' opinions are not favorable but perhaps upcoming updates might fix few of these juvenile problems.
It's a shame tho that Samsung releases "undercooked" product. As far as I am concerned I'd rather get it a bit later on but in flawless condition than trying to get rid of nasty first impressions.
Anyways, I'm patiently waiting for my device to come and try it out myself.

How is it under cooked? Do you have a source saying it doesn’t do what is claimed? They aren’t even the same phone spec wise. The ultra uses a completely different panel technology from the +. Seems like you are jumping to conclusions.

S22 Ultra Very Laggy and slow
I got my new S22 Ultra this monday and I have been having quite a lot of problems with it. The battery life is terrible, only around 2-3 hours of lite use. Snapchat is near unusable because it is terribly slow and laggy to use and the viewport...
forum.xda-developers.com
My device is scheduled to be shipped 25/02 and then I can add few words about stability, SOT and other reported problems. So far my opinions are only based on early users' posts.
@freebee269 You might be right, extrapolating from s22/s22+ is propably inappropriate in this case.
Cheers

I received mine and I can confirm that my first impressions are not good, especially on the battery. But this can be fixed with updates.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully my first impression isn’t the same. I don’t get mine until Thursday or Friday

Got mine s22ultra 12/256 exy 2 days ago. As stated before by other users it goes down to 24 Hz and can be forced to 10 Hz by GalaxyHz.

Question No camera updates?

Its been few months since relase and tons of updates, but still, no updates for the camera. How is that possible?
I remember, that S21 Ultra got plenty of camera updates straight out of the box. There was neither one camera update for our S22 Ultra.
Do you think its still coming or we should accept camera as it is ?

If you haven't noticed updates can and do break things. Do you have specific issues?
Invariably Samsung will issues updates for the cam. Unless there's a gross firmware issue(s) the improvements may be more superficial and likely not greatly increase performance.
The more that Samsung seems to emphasize their phone's cam performance, the greater the overall decline in their product. Sammy is drowning in their own hype marketing bs. 2 years straight of not hitting the mark with their flagship phones in my opinion.
This N10+ in my hand isn't small or light but the S22U is bigger, heavier, thicker with a worse display/bevel ratio.
Worse, no expandable storage, SOT isn't better, spen on the wrong side again, in actual usage only barely faster and that all goes to pieces once the ram loads up. Now there are reports of cam issues coming out that appear to be with the optics of the N22U.
Updates will fix some of these issues but not most. Samsung, innovative ball dropping.

What specific issues are you having with the camera? I haven't experienced any problems with taking quality photos. I don't think there is a need for updates unless there are known issues.

This Blackhawk character has been on Note 10's d**k since it dropped and has spammed literally hundreds of threads, where he's just ****ting on every subsequent Samsung release. I think we should get a fundraiser together to get him a new phone. I feel like he can't afford a new one and needs his self worth validated by claiming the Note 10 as the only viable Samsung phone out there It's quiet sad and comical at the same time at this point honestly.

Exactly! I called him out a while back and the moderators deleted my response and basically said dont feed the troll.
Yet they do nothing to stop the trolling. I come here to participate on a forum about my phone and every day the troll with the annoying avatar shows up espousing the virtues of his N10+ and how superior it is to anything else. He's not the only one either but he's certanly the most annoying.

It has issues (towards end of vid)... and so does Android 11 and 12.
Members are posting a crappy blur pattern when trying to simply make a copy of a letter with it too. We'll see what's up when the updates and the dust settles. Regardless it's not not getting a better form factor, any lighter or any more memory. It can never boast a 1.5 tb dual drive or have the advantages that confers.
Actually I did get a new phone half year ago
To be frank I'm napalming Samsung for screwing up again. No token trophies.

Question S22U images look like oil paint.

I have been using the S22U for 2 months but I'm not quite satisfied with the camera as Samsung marketed with camera feature the most.
My S21U does a better job than S22U. Most of the time, the images look like oil paint for some reason. And sometimes it does a great job.
I'm attaching 3 photos. All these are shot using the same phone. You can see the difference. The first two photos are on same day, 3rd one is on another day.
I was even thinking that my phone might be a factory defect one. I bought the same model (N908N) for my brother. That one is also the same. Then I used one my colleagues' S22Ultra for a few hours. That one is also the same. So, I dropped the thought of a factory defect device.
Is anyone facing the same?

i just had an update

I do not have this issue on my S22U SD device (at least that I have seen yet). I have the SM-S908U model.

My Photos look fine on U.S. Unlocked using Samsung's Stock Camera Software.

Overly aggressive NR in post. Can't get past immutable laws of physics, computational photography be damned! ;-)
If you stay within the limits of the optics with adequate lighting (ISO 800 max) the pics look reasonable even when viewed on a graphics workstation. They will ALWAYS look better at 1:1 on the phone!
The 100X is pretty much a joke until you need to read a sign at the end of a street or see an equipment ID number at the top of a power pole, for example!

Using Samsung for the past 12 years, every single note model. And spent 1500USD for S22U. Don't you think I have the right to get offended by the quality of the camera?
I have mentioned that those photos were taken at 1x not 100x.
Also, the photos look the same on the mobile phone too.

Something is wrong. Mine don't look anywhere near that bad.
My main issue with Samsung is excessive over sharpening everywhere.
EXCEPT the Z Fold 3. Funny too, everyone says how bad its camera is but the SOFTWARE its using actually makes better pics when within the limits of the hardware.

There might be a problem with Korean Model. I have flashed 3 different Korean ROM (couldn't flash US ROM) with Odin. All the ROMs have the same problem. My brother's device also has the same problem. I hope they will fix it with a software update.

Question SMB performance exynos vs snapdragon

My Exynos is just what I wanted...no heating, no lag, stutter or whatever, it is fast, I have 6 hrs+ SOT, blazing fast 5G speeds and it lasts the whole day...

Have a try at using the Zf4 beside it. You'll see the difference, heck even the ZF3 with sd888 is more efficient and smoother/has less frame drops.

I don't contest a Fold could be faster, I also owned a Fold 3 for some time then returned it as it doesn't fit my needs so I know how they are. But the Exynos 2200 is very close with it's SD counterpart and to be honest I don't care about some marginal higher benchmark scores. I don't do benchmarks, I just use the phone (mainly business) and it never failed me, or had lag or stutter. It just works and is flawless at everything I throw at it.
I don't want to enter in the Exy vs SD debate, it is neverending but saying that it "sucks" at least for the S22 series is completely wrong, actually in tests SD is heating more and suffers from throttling

Both the Exynos 2200 and SD 8 Gen 1 both suffer from efficiency problems because the 4nm Samsung Foundry manufacturing process was a failure (hence Qualcomm going to TSMC for the 8+Gen1). It's good that you like the phone and it works for you but there is without a doubt frame drops and general stutter on the Exynos s22u, if it doesn't bother you then great but it bothers me and obviously other S22u users on this forum.

I saw posts and heard people complaining so I don't say it doesnt. Just that it is not general or for all devices. It is not that I am not bothered, I just never encountered lag or stutter on my device and I doubt mine is unique. Maybe I use apps that don't lag, dunno...can you give me some examples of apps where lag is happening? And I don't say about that Reddit thread with scrolling lags because there I have lag too. I am talking about aps or settings on the phone where you do something and it lags. I'll try just to test

Animations drop frames and yes scrolling on Twitter and Reddit stutter. Like I said, use it beside the Zf4 or even the ZF3 and you can see the difference even scrolling on the apps. FWIW, I had similar on the P6P which basically uses and Exynos. The S22u doesn't perform badly as such, it just doesn't perform like a £1400 phone should.

So, getting back to the topic that was posted, what does any of the above have to do with SMB performance? Numbers were posted via screenshots that are in a foreign language that most don't understand. SMB infers a network copy file operation so a lot to be considered here other than just the phone. As a matter of fact, I would say the phone factors in less that 50% with regards to SMB performance.

I backup and restore a lot of things with network shares. It is a common use case for me. Fact is the SD 8 Gen 1 is almost twice as fast.
Other than that the phone is not bad.

my exinos do its work no lags no loose of frame
twitter and reddit for me are unuseful and banned from all ny phones and tablets only good to waste time i have two s22 exinos and no problems al all
i use the phone don't play with benchmarks

I have the same but the point here was performance of network transfers via SMB....I don't use SMB shares so can't check transfer speeds at the moment but I might setup one just for the sake of testing. I find cloud sharing much easier to use for me tho

my files are all on nas and pendrive in Italia cloud is not very good and working is an optional like streaming (dazn docet) only in big cities you can use it and not always
for years I've worked in a public company and backup was something really not in the mind of our central company

Exynos I get around 20 MB/s with SMB2

That is insane. Are you on Beta? Did you change something?

accidently send it twice...

I often have performance problems when using SMB on android/linux.
Try to use SFTP, its much faster.

I think, my phone just had a lucky day. I've made some testing, and my speed sucks around 1-5 MB/s
