| + | [* black] The Note9 looks very (very) similar to the Note8—and in principle at least, we're fine with that. Smartphone evolution has slowed, even we don't think you should try to fix what isn't broken. |
| [* icon_reminder] That said, the Note line has never been our favorite in terms of fix-ability, so we'd welcome any design improvements in that department. | |
| [* black] So what ''is'' new? Well, it's very slightly wider and shorter than the Note8, and a hair thicker at 8.8 mm versus 8.6 mm. | |
| [* black] Despite the nearly identical form factor, the already massive display measures even bigger than last year—if only by 0.1 inches. | |
