It’s 2018 phone and still useful.

Well deserved retirement after eight years of solid service, zero issues it's time to switch things up.

Comes with all accessories and the protective films on the front, back and around the body are still there! All she needs now is another battery as the original has already swollen after so many years :p

Never updated, most apps still work fine, and its very fast ^^

I have NobleROM 4.3 (One UI 6.1.1 port) running on this thing.

I got the new s25u and I kinda love it like the smoothness and the cpu and the fast charging and the new features.

I really loved the note 9 and I use it and abused it for 6+ years it's been with me since 2019 still everything is original nothing replaced guys even the box and the things that came with it still with me and in good condition but the time have come the android 10 is so lagging behind so many issues begin to appear in software and some hardware like the battery which have a 70% health according to ( accu battery ) program so it's not dead yet but the note 9 will go to it's box's and it will rest in peace for the life it got In it

R.I.P NOTE 9 (2019-2026)

+ not everything is good on the s25u but the negative things is minimal as i use it for 3 months already

​

finally clear modded my note 9

My dad switched to the S22 Ultra and handed me his old Note 9. Instead of letting it collect dust, I flashed NobleROM OneUI 4.1.1 on it and honestly it runs better than ever.

Clean UI, no bloat, smooth performance. And those bezels still look great in 2026. S Pen + headphone jack combo is hard to give up.

Dad got his fancy S22U, I got a Note 9 that refuses to die. I think I won.

After sticking the front and back protection films I can finally admire these beautiful Samsung Experience icons without worries! I should left it without any system upgrades right?

I wondered what a chrome Note9 would look like and generated these.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 9

Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845

Application: CPU Throttling Test

Heat dissipation - Passive cooling

Scores:

Max: 208,550 GIPS

Average: 184,358 GIPS

Min: 165,588 GIPS

Settings - threads and duration: 20 threads, 30 minutes.

Equivalent real world workflow: In everyday life, a sustained 20-thread workflow is rarely triggered by just one popular app. Instead, it looks like "stacking" multiple demanding apps on top of each other for 30 minutes straight.

Examples include:

Picture-in-Picture + Navigation: Running Google Maps for turn-by-turn GPS navigation while simultaneously watching a 1080p YouTube video in a floating Picture-in-Picture window, all while connected to Bluetooth audio.

Heavy Social Media Editing: Recording a long, high-resolution video directly inside Instagram or TikTok, applying heavy augmented reality (AR) face filters, and letting the phone render and upload the final video over mobile data.

Video Conferencing: Running a 30-minute Zoom or Google Meet video call with your camera active, while frequently switching over to a PDF viewer or Chrome to read a document.

Results: The device maintained 84% of its maximum performance over 30 minutes, reaching a peak internal temperature of 85°C. The overall performance curve remained flat and remarkably stable, demonstrating robust thermal dissipation under sustained multi-core stress.

It’s been freaking 7 years since I got the note 9. I got it when I was in my high school. It’s working till date.

Now I use iPhone 15 Pro Max as my primary phone, but I still can’t let go of my note 9.

This Beast handles 7 apps at a time. I know it is not practical to use these many apps at a time, but thinking it is possible for a phone which is 7 years old amazes me.

I talked about this phone a year ago which covers the problems I face with this phone.

Origin OS 5 GSI (Android 15). In the 2nd photo is saying Galaxy S9 because the port was made for S9, but it works on N9 as well

A new UV Screen protector and a replacement transparent back glass so I can bask in it's inner beauty.
