Good tanks .
same phone !!! with pen
Beefy-as Note9! 😀
It’s basically a rehashed s9 + as majority of the specs are the same!!!
Just a tiny bit of more screen, bigger battery and the s-pen. Note nowdays is all about the s-pen. Gone are the days where it had a lot bigger screen, battery, better SOC (or atleast higher clock rates), a lot more RAM and really different software experience.
conclusion is new S9 ++
