I miss the Note 9. Between the fingerprint scanner on the back, the lack of a camera bump, and a headphone jack, it was a nicer experience than the Note 20 Ultra I have now.
That fingerprint scanner on the back is the best placement. I wish they went back to it. I, too, miss my N9.
Yeah, the high end 9 series are (were) great. I’m still using my S9+ and just don’t have any good reason to “upgrade”. I don’t intend to get a phone that doesn’t have a headphone jack and memory card slot.
I do kinda miss having a stylus, though, having come from the Note 4 previously.
Lack of phone support after 2 years has always pissed me off. There are almost always no limitations when it comes to the hardware. For me I like to average 4 years a phone and hope for 5-6 if I can. I, for one, can’t wait for this method to change.
I also loved the Note 9, I always felt they put a lot into it due to the disaster that the Note 8 was. I also loved the 8, but of course a complete recall doesn’t look very good.
I still have my note 9 in a drawer but moved on to a nest phone because the display started having issues, where it would get a green haze and slowly freeze and become unresponsive.
Favorite phone though, also perfect size.
Its not. I’m writing this on a Note 8 with Android 9. It can run 99% of Apps on the Playstore, has an up to date browser and even gets access to new features like Google Lens, Gemini or Quickshare. Would it be nice to have Android 14? Yes. Does it need Android 14? eh not really.
