Something to think about!
it's not money wise to upgrade/buy when products first come out!!
These days, I did upgrade from Note 8 to 9 for $100. That's the cost of 64 gig capacity, 1gig RAM, larger screen, longer-lasting batt, etc!!!
Now...this makes total financial sense to me!!!

He's right.. if you going to upgrade wait until the Galaxy Note 10 comes out next year, Not unless you going to drop $1, 000 on a phone every 8 months..I'm keeping my Note 8 it works just as good besides the extra minor features.. Cause when the Note 10 comes out you going to be saying that I should have waited lol..

It's worth it if you have the funds to blow on it for sure, but if money slightly tight and you are holding a note 8 it's still very good so can probably hold out

I think it's time to upgrade from my S5

Man I upgraded yesterday from a iPhone 7 to a note 9 and I completely fell in love with my new note 9

Ill wait for the X. My 8 has served me well..

Traded in the 8 for the 9 since Best buy deducted 450 for the 128 gb and truthfully I could have passed. Speakers and battery are nice, but you live once and you learn often. -Keep your money like I should have. The price you pay when you want the latest and greatest.

One word: YES its worth the upgraded from Note 8 to 9 especially if you can get a trade-in deal from a carrier. I did it and was a huge difference

Note 8 is good for the budget now. Some under 500 dollars for the unlocked phone. Still packed with amazing features

I am keeping my note 5 that i bought the first day it went out 3 years ago. Still works flawlessly, in mint condition, fast and reliable. I will buy a new note when they stop with the glass back cover that leaves fingerprints. It sucks to have a cover on this beautiful phone because of the back cover.

Let me tell you why it's worth it for the upgrade for me. I have a Note 8, but the internal memory was just about full. I had a 256GB micro SD card in it, and moved everything i could move over, including some apps. This KILLED the performance of the phone, and frustrated the hell out of me. Plus the battery was ok, but i feel like it dropped 15-20% an hour. which is no bueno to me. So i traded in my Note 7 (yes, that Note 7) and got the 512GB Note 9. I have been riding REAL hard today, music, video, talking and even used it as a Mobile Hotspot for 3+ hours as it powered my laptop. it's at 13 hours and 12 minutes and had 18% battery left. and i have a combined 700+ Gigs of free space (little over 400 internal). it's runs super fast, the fingerprint scanner is perfect. I have no complaints. I'm glad i got this device, the real question this the last phone i'll ever have to buy? with 8GB Ram and all that internal space, i don't forsee a practical reason to need another phone for a very very long time. and I guess that is the real value for me. cost me $200 out of pocket this year. Saved me a grand next year.

Why is everyone taking about the price of the Note 9 is too high. When the Note 8 came out it was 989 only vs Note 999. It'll last longer camera better, pen better, finger print in better place, more storage for only $10 more etc.

The only reason I don't recommend the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is it's battery resistance. If you want good battery life, take Samsung Galaxy Note 9. But if you don't have a problem with the battery resistance, please take the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Don't get me wrong, I am a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 user and I really love this phone . For the next few years I will not replace my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 <3

I'm too broke to keep up with the latest tech.

Here I am still using my Cracked screen S7 edge.

[jayontario]

I agree...my Note 8 is still a great smartphone. Just like they told me last year

[davea]

Note 9 over Note 8... For me its the Updated S Pen functionality, Dual Aperture Camera, Stereo Speakers, Bigger Battery, 128/6GB & 512/8GB storage options, Better Fingerprint Scanner positioning.
Looks a great device.

I took the uTube advice when I had the Note 5 and 4 years later, I'm still waiting for the next better Note.
