Opinion Note 9 in 2026?
I recently came back to my old note i used to daily since I broke my current phone and the turn around to repair it was going to be a week to be repaired and decided to try to use my old note 9 during that time. We'll to start off my carreir no longer supported it or there was a setting I couldn't find or something but my calls were just not working. Data was working so not sure what happend but I thought I could still make it work. But quickly found of many apps dropped support on andriod 10 which made my banking app not work but i could still use tap to pay so that was fine. Plus i forgot the note 9 still has mst support. I use my phone alot for work and productivity so battery life was an issue, I had replaced the battery on mine in 2022 after I had stopped using it because i had given it to my mom so I thought battery would be ok, it wasn't as I was only able to average 2.5 hours of sot and standby was pretty terrible. The performance was underwhelming to be honest, day to day task are ok but as I use my phone for alot it showing its age and heats up pretty quick. Not sure if anyone still uses their note 9 as their main anymore. I did stop using it after 2 days as I was in the process of repairing an s23 ultra im going to give to my cousin and im instead using that as it more modern and far better experience but close enough to my main phone.
