So it's time for another smartphone switch, your favorite segment here on Unbox Therapy
0:05
Now you know I was using the Pixel. As I insert this SIM card, what is worth your hard earned cash
0:13
It's real. Boom. Ping. Bang. I started with the 3XL, then I moved to the 3
0:17
I thought, why not try out the smaller one as well as the bigger one
0:22
So I did that. It's a Pixel. You know what it is. Solid, camera, night mode, beauty, stock Android experience, G logo, because it comes from Google
0:33
Wireless charging, probably my favorite wireless charging dock to go with it
0:37
Smart wireless charging dock goes into do not disturb mode immediately. When I slot it in at night, I'm a big fan of this device
0:44
You already knew that. Some people, they have their concerns with the hardware, the scratching on the black device
0:49
I showed you a video about it. The hardware for me was fine. Worked perfectly
0:53
Big fan of the camera, but the front one as well. Wide angle, alright, certain situations and scenarios
0:59
you got a big group, boom, you make the photo, they don they can they don have that lens There was a lot of criticism from certain individuals about that second camera on the front Google doing all the software and all the fancy stuff on the back
1:12
With the computational photography, they only need one lens back there. And then you put two on the front? What are you doing here
1:18
Well, it's for that purpose. On the front, it's actually more important because you have a smaller sensor there
1:23
You can actually do less. And the wide angle thing, super useful. Real humans are going to use that feature
1:29
You might be one of those humans if you pick up this device that said
1:33
I do think it's a bit expensive for what you're getting they discounted it a little bit
1:37
I think on black Friday and they're talking about doing a light version to potentially address that
1:42
I don't think this is the cost to performance ratio champion But it is one of my favorite smartphones
1:48
I've used in a long time and that explains the extended usage that I put into it. It's been like months maybe
1:55
Maybe, God, it's been a minute, as the youngsters, as the kids say, as Willie Doo says sometimes
2:01
But today it's time for a switch, and you're wondering, what is that gigantic slab
2:05
on the table, what is that thing, and why are you switching to it? It is a Note a Note 9 Came out a while ago Lou What Mate 20 Pro OnePlus 6T you switching to a Note Have you lost it
2:19
Is your finger no longer on the Pulse? No, that's not the reason. My finger's more on the Pulse, in fact
2:24
Because I got some emails from you guys, and messages, and tweets, and everything else
2:28
Some of you have concerns about this phone. Some of you spent a lot of money on this phone, and you're saying that it's got problems
2:33
Specifically, with the camera. A lot of you guys are telling me that the camera is freezing
2:38
is freezing, lagging, maybe some sort of a RAM situation, RAM management issue
2:43
I thought what better way to investigate than to slide the sim from the Pixel into the Note 9, use it every day
2:50
and try to replicate some of your findings, because I know it's bothering you guys
2:54
and as far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like Samsung has responded yet
2:57
So, Detective Lou, back in business, I'm looking at the Note 9
3:01
I never put in the long-term usage scenario with this phone, even though it's a flagship, even though it's got a lot of attention
3:07
and there's things that I think I might be more inclined to try out now than in the past
3:14
Like the pen for example. I don know if you guys saw my recent stuff on the iPad Pro I kinda became a pen guy Can I use this pen Will it happen Will it work Do I care enough I about to find out Of course you got the big battery in here
3:26
You got Samsung Pay. You can use it on the MagSwipe style old school terminals
3:32
So there's some things about this phone that are still unique in the space
3:36
And unique in the space is becoming a thing that's harder and harder to see, say, and find
3:41
Anyhow, let's switch the SIM card over. Let's do this experiment. Let's see if I can uncover the problem that people are telling me about with this device
3:49
Out of the Google Pixel. Okay, there it is. This is the moment
3:53
Another smartphone switch. It will not be the last. The moment of truth
3:57
It begins right now. Boom. There you go. It's in there, Jack
4:02
You happy? We are active. We're gonna find out. You can see I already have this phone set up
4:06
Got the Nova launcher on there. I was ready to go. I just never got around to switching to this phone
4:11
because so many others were launching rapidly. I can't leave this stone unturned
4:16
I gotta get to it. It's my job. It's my duty. It's the Note 9. Is it a good buy
4:21
Let's find out. Is the camera really that problematic? I hope not
