I guess it's considered a pretty phone really.

Yeah.... every single one has issues there are no perfect phones. Pick one that suits your needs and be happy!
Go to any phone forum and you will see all the issues being reported.
If it doesn’t come first every single time (no phone does), it’s usually somewhere in the Top 10 anyway.
Are the Exynos versions affected by this Camerag bug? Have not seen any complaint of it in my local tech forum, we get Exynos down here, and I know the Exynos Samsung’s usually come with a Samsung ISOCELL Camera, instead of a Sony, at least going by some past trends.
As a owner of Note 9, I've stopped reading this thread. First there was 10+ pages of battery argument (iPhone vs Note), then camera, etc.

I've never heard about it until I read it in this thread, but I'd be annoyed if my camera stuttered, it'd be going back for a replacement, and if that stuttered, it'd be going back for a Mate 20 Pro or something as good as that.
there's so many good phones right now, Apple and Samsung are going to have to step it up in the coming years, a pen or a superfast cpu just isn't going to cut it when the competition can offer just as good for much much less.
For some, there has been camera freezing. Samsung is working on a fix.

Ah, okay, so it seems to affect some US Snapdragon variants, I wonder if it is a Camera HW issue.
There was once a bug like this in the Galaxy S4, but it only affected the Exynos5410 units back then, however Samsung fixed it shortly after release, absolutely annoying issue.
Per what I read it’s the Sony camera that has the issues.

It’s about the note 9 this thread. And we are discussing the camera.

Here is a new video mentioning the camera issues. Hopefully Samsung does come out with a fix.
Note 9 officially launched in white. Hope the Note 10 gets launched in white. Glad they continue to make the front all black. Gorgeous.
Uggh, I hate how they are all Black at the front, lol
I love black phones, haven't owned anything not black since the Galaxy S2 and up until now with the Mate 20 Pro that is Twilight, but do you know what I liked with my White Galaxy S2? It was White all round, absolutely loved it. The Mate 20 Pro has this stunning Twilight colour but I hardly see it because I need to look at the screen and not the back when using the damn thing.
Same when I was using the Copper Note9.
I hope Samsung and Huawei get off this stupid Black front trend, although I do understand it's done to hide all the sensor trickery these devices are using, but the same old black front is getting boring.

Lol, well it's all about the immersive experience. You can't really get that immersive feeling with a colored border.
Nice write up on DEX

The amount of class action law suits against Apple. The posters comment is ridiculous.
I got a Black Note 9 yesterday.
I learned something new about the S-Pen....you can use it to unlock the phone! I did not know that. The S-Pen becomes a trusted device to unlock the Note. Love it!
My new Note 9 got the November Security update this morning

It's good....not quite as good as my Note 9 or Xs Max. The display quality of those 2 phones top of the line.
Oh hey, I finally got the November update. I sure do wish Samsung could release their updates to the unlocked models first.
I thought you already had a note 9?
Anyway, smart that you waited, next year I will wait until Black Friday before buying any new android phone, the deals were really good. The only way I’ll get it earlier is if they do another double your trade in value.
Also, wouldn’t recommend using the spen as a trusted device, since it’s always on the phone, very easy for someone else to unlock it.
The great thing about Samsung is, they have quality pre-order offers. Whether it's wireless earbuds, charging pad, Galaxy Watch, or any of their other products, it makes the pre-order worth it. Definitely gonna preorder the Note 10. I want the Infinity O or New Infinity display, and the on-display fp reader. The improved camera will be a bonus too. I'll be keeping this phone for 4 yrs, at which point folding phones should be good to go. Flagships are at the point where they have some solid longevity.
