As expected, the Note 9 looks almost identical to the Note 8 or even the Galaxy S9+. It’s just bigger than them all coming in at 6.4-inches. That said, there are a few exciting upgrades that might help you make up your mind. Things like longer battery life, a bigger screen, or the new and improved S-Pen.

If you’re on buying a new phone in 2018 you have lots of options so far and more are on the way. You can snag the impressive Galaxy S9+, wait for the Note 9, or wait even longer for the Google Pixel 3 XL. It’s a tough choice. And if you already have a Samsung phone it might not even be worth the switch.

That said, if you’re debating between the Galaxy S9+ and the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 we’ll answer some important questions. You will get a better phone, but whether that’s worth the $999 price is up to you.

Both of these phones have huge screens, fast performance, tons of features and plenty to love. If a big screen is all you’re after, either phone is a great choice. With a big 6.2 or 6.4-inch curved AMOLED display, everything looks good. That said, the big screen isn’t all these phones have to offer.

Our slideshow below compares all aspects of both phones so you’ll make the right choice on your next phone.
