Hi everyone.
First of all, I`ve searched the forums for this type of threads, and couldn`t find any.
Secondly, I`m thinking on changing my Mate 10 Pro with a Note 8 device. What I want to know if there`s someone who made this switch so far and if not, I need someone to tell me about Note 8 software performance and battery with more than moderate usage : social apps (fb ,instagram) , chat apps ( WA, FB messenger, texts ), about 1H calls daily, news apps, youtube 1H daily, WITHOUT games.
The Mate 10 Pro`s battery is excellent, I get at least 24 hours daily, and this is what I like the most. But here comes the software. I keep app animations at X1.5 and still encounter stutters and freezes and a bit of lag. And this is what I hate the most on it.
Can someone please tell me how`s their Note8 running so far after 2-3-4 months?
Thank you very much for your answer.
zero lag for me, animation set at 0.5, easily get a full day and always running high performance mode, I'm pushing 8 hour + screen time some days plus few hours of music.

Have not made a switch from Mate 10. I don't know to much about that phone.
Phone is excellent packed with features*
Updates slow, samsung known for that*
Bsttery pretty good, not the best*
SOT average 5-7 hours depending on usage*
Will last most of the day with average use*
Spec wise blows most phones away*
Best phone I've ever had*
Hey maybe i can help you with my experience
3 of my Friends have the Mate 10 Pro and i own a Note 8. So you can think that we lay down the Devices side by side and test very much. Some Things i can say so far..
Display: Note 8 has definitive the better Display. Colors, Contrast and the overall visual Qualitiy is amazing. The Mate 10 have, compared to the Note 8, a bit milky Display with low Contrast (For my personal opinion)
Battery: Yes, The Mate 10 can run a bit longer then the Note 8. But for me, this is not the Big Point, cause i load every 2. Day my Device.
Performance: Compared to the Mate 10, i think the Note 8 runs better and smoother. Scrolling performance with the Mate is not so good, often little Lags and things like that.
Camera: For my personal opinion, both Cameras have there best and worst cases. No Camera is better then the other, but both of the cameras have there own special things where they can Rock the Rest away.
Updates: No Commentary.. very Bad. You should know that with Samsung. But Things getting Better in Time.. but very slow.
Sound: Mate 10 Pro's Stereo Spekaer are compared to the Note 8 a HUGE difference. The Mate Speakers are fedinitly better then the Note Speaker. But with Headset on.. i think the Note do Things better but i'm rooted anyway..so i use Viper4Arise Maybe you sould ask someone else for Sound things..
So for me, the Note 8 is the very better Device overall.
Hope this few things may help you. When you have questions or you want more comparision, write me..

Hey I own a note 8 from his launch and a few days ago I bought mate 10 pro bla l29 so...
1) Note 8 superior in most case screen, camera Samsung experience, no updates if you like update you have to WAIT
2) Huawei mate 10 pro battery life awesome
Great build quality 2 updates in the past week
Both work great. No lags
My opinion as I own both devices
Go for note but if you like and you're use to it emui stay with Mate 10 pro
Didn't the Mate 10 Pro just get released? LOL

I`m living in Romania, I have the Pro since the end of november or something. Huawei release phones earlier in EU
As I always have said, the number one factor for any person considering to buy a note 8 should be the s pen, if this is of no relevance for you, go for some other REAL flagship from a REAL good brand

Thanks for your comparison. I don`t care about the camera, since both of them are pretty good ( I can say that I`ve tested the Note 8 in a shop for 30 minutes and the Pro made better pictures). I`m interested in the battery ( 3300 mAH with QHD+ screen vs 4000 mAH with FHD+ screen ). Also, from my experience with phones, my eyes don`t really notice the differences between screens. i can get used to any screen in a short time. Also, I also wanna know if the software experience from the Note 8 tends go be the same as S8+ ( which is really bad )

'' I`m interested in the battery ( 3300 mAH with QHD+ screen vs 4000 mAH with FHD+ screen )''
I use every Day QHD+ with an very colorful Wallpaper with much and intense Colors..so no black or dark Background all the way. I can make you Screenshots with my Batterylife but i think this is a thing where every person get another experience, cause of his personal usage. My usage case is mostly like yours, except the phone call duration. I can say you (with my Rom (Ironman Rom nearly stock) and Kernel(Xceed)) i have 7.5 - 8 hrs SOT all the Days. The Mate is in comparison with the Note in this case better. I talk about 2-3hrs more SOT. So its your opinion where your priority is. Anyway i compared the Mate and the Note so far but never used a Mate longer then lets say about 4 hrs. So maybe my results are a bit diffrent to the real case. Anyway the Softwarelags from the Mate are not lucky and i hope for my Friends with these Devices Huawei will fix this in the next Updates. For me is that a realy bad thing when i buy a new phone and get srcolling Lag and other things. But maybe they installed some crap and the lag comes from 3rd party Apps or bad configurated system. I dondt know, what i see was okay so far from the Apps.
'' Also, from my experience with phones, my eyes don`t really notice the differences between screens. i can get used to any screen in a short time.''
Okay thats a thing like the Batterylife things (for me). Its a personal thing and maybe your eyes can handle that. For me, Samsung is the best Display producer so far beside Appe Displays. I have never see any other Screen that can handle with that quality from Samsung. But one more time.. its more a personal impression that everybody make in a different way i guess.
''I also wanna know if the software experience from the Note 8 tends go be the same as S8+ ( which is really bad )''
I think so. I do not have a S8 or S8+. 2 Friends do have these Devices but i never looked closer on this, cause the Software is mostly the same for my experience. The Note have the Spen feautures but i cant see if there are big other things where are Note Special feautures. If i'm wrong, then please somebody correct me. And yes, the cam but this is not the reason for you i guess.

Apples displays made by Samsung. Goind points made though.
This part not geared toward you, just facts.
Apple and Samsung= Best all around features
LG= Best Audio
Mate/Others= Best Battery
Pixel/Sony= Best Camera/-Updates Sony
OnePlus= Best Root/Roms
You take all this and decide which is most important to you. They all make pretty good phones. Some just have better things then others. IMO Note 8 best overall. But my opinion may be biased. There's a reason you search top ten phones and Note 8/Apple always #1 or #2. I wish we could have a phone that had all these best highlighted feautures into one.
If I didn't get my note for free(ish) I would be using Huawei mate. Battery life is subjective but same type of use on my mate 9 would easily get me 1 1/2 days.
Before note 8 my last daily Samsung was note 4. Same issue I had then is the same now. Phone does have a slight lag to it. If coming from Huawei and maybe pixel you will notice it. Gets worse over time.
I forgot what lag was using nexus and mate 8/9 for the last few years.
Great phone but once you get pass the non essentials I personally would go for Huawei. Emui is the biggest con of Huawei products.
Huawei sucks with updates also.

they don't, it's owners that start lagging in looking after their devices
I have had samsung devices since S3, NEVER seen that lag over time, really, I do not know where or whom the people claiming these lags get the devices from, I am talking just about my experiences with 6 different REAL samsung flagship devices Obtained through official distribuitors
Lag might be a harsh word to use but there are slight system hangups that happen. Don't take my casual experience, I'm nobody. Plenty of techie youtubers and including xda, post fixes for that imaginary lag in every forum. It's okay every phone has it's issues.
I've also purchased and owned every Galaxy since the first. Every high end ssung tablet under 12 inches. WTF does thst matter, they all experience it. This is my personal experience. Can't speak for other folks. I do install some form of Nexus/Google/pixel or Nova launcher so maybe my experience is different. I don't lower screen or limit things so take that for what it's worth also. I would hope 5he first thing anyone who knows what xda is, turns the animations up.
There is a clear difference between Nexus/pixel vs Samsung(or any other oem) flagships. There is a difference between Huawei mate(strict resource management) and vs the note.
With that being said, Samsung makes the best phones. Note 8 does everything with the best screen plus amazing specs. It's just not as fluid. Been using since release. It's not a laggy mess like a cheap prepaid phone . Far from that.
My biggest thing while using Huawei was not needing a custom rom. Once I got past emui sucks and having to pay to get steady updates early, I never looked back.
Note. If all the Knox and losing important resale features I would be flashing like the good ol days. Every day. Custom roms would benefit this phone.
Fingerprint sensor alone is worth keeping the mate.
My last point and them I'm out of the convo. You asked this question in the note 8 section. Likely hood of getting unbiased opinion are very slim. You will have some folks who keep it real. You'll have some that get 10+ of sot, no lag, perfect fingerprint placement, etc.
All in all
Take it all with a dump truck full of salt. If you want to trade let me know. Cash from my end.
And what would be a black market unofficial distribution source.

Hi,
Wanted to check if anyone got their hands on with an Exynos Note 9 and noticed any performance improvements in terms of efficiency or sustained performance.
Did they made any changes to Exynos 9810 SoC since S9+ was released?
I hope they didn't cripple it with their implementation!
Thanks in advance.

It was Anadtech who first thoroughly lab-tested and rooted out the performance/heat management/battery endurance differences bet^n the Exynos 9810 & Snapdragon 845 in the Galaxy S9.
Hence, I contacted Andrei(one who did the testing and wrote that article) and he informed that Anandtech won't be reviewing the Exynos/SD Note 9 for now, but if there's any change in the behaviour of the SoC, it'll be visible in the kernel sources and he will check that without requiring the Note 9.
Andrei is famous in these forums. Thank you for your information. I wanted to email him as well but did it for the rest of us. Lets hope they made some improvements. Else even 4000 mah wont be enough. I have pre-ordered Note 9 exynos version and sold off my s9+ back to the Samsung store guys.
Fresh article - Anandtech's deep dive into Exynos 9810's M3 cores:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/13199/hot-chips-2018-samsungs-exynosm3-cpu-architecture-deep-dive/
Update::Sad news) :
Samsung released Kernel source code of Exynos Galaxy Note 9 and Andrei was quick to check it. Sadly, he confirmed that there are no changes.

I havent had the battery issues on my exynos s9 plus that others have but i think for the note 9 im going to give the N9600 snapdragon a try. Samsung knows there is an issue here and have had ample time to correct on the s9 and damn sure on the Note 9 and to do nothing is just pure laziness

Samsung quietly fix what they can. But at times they're not very good at fixing when they announce and "pretend" to not have an issue officially. Including sheer laziness, what if what they have achieved in the Exynos 9810 is the "optimum one" in the heat-performance-endurance ratio ? When they didn't do it in this S9's I felt they were saving something for the next big thing - Note 9 Exynos.
..
Will be happy to know how you would feel getting one snapdragon. I thought of doing the same, but it has network comptibility issues here, so didn't.
This Antutu Stress test prove that Samsung did some "tweaks" for Exynos: more throttle, lower freqs most of time to keep it cooler, less batt drain
We have reached that time where the price of the Note 9 has dropped enough that it has become a really attractive option for those of us looking for a feature packed flagship phone at well below the $1000 mark.
I have decided that I am going to buy the Note 9, it's just a case of deciding which variant. I live in Southern Africa where we don't have support for Samsung Pay and we are not ready for the latest LTE technologies, so as long as I have working LTE, I am not concerned too much about these features.
With that said, it's still desireable to me to have the fastest option I can get within my budget because I want a fast and fluid user experience.
Apparently the Android Pie update has improved the performance of the Eynos variants of the Note 9 by a considerable amount.
So my question is, as it stands today, how does the Snapdragon variant compare to the Exynos variant in terms of performance?
Aside from performance and rooting, what other considerations or differences are there when deciding between the Hong Kong N9600 and the global N960FD variants? (Are there any major drawbacks or issues to consider when selecting one variant over the other? Build quality, storage performance/ Inferior components in one model vs the other etc..) (I read that snapdragon has touch latency. How bad is it and are there any other issues on either variant)
One unfortunate consideration is that my favorite color, the Metallic Copper, is unfortunately not available in N9600 variant. I have seen that the new white color is available in N9600 but I actually prefer the Note 9 in darker colors.
Note. I have confirmed that both variants support the bands for local mobile operators
Please help me decide!!!
how does the Snapdragon variant compare to the Exynos variant in terms of performance? This question has been answered countless times, just search "note 9 exynos vs snapdragon" on YouTube and you'll find loads of content. The difference is pretty small, I'm pretty sure you'd find it hard to notice any difference in real life.
Fastest - Probably N9600
Build quality - The same
storage performance - The same
Inferior components in one model vs the other - As far as we know, there should be no differences other than the SOC.
I searched for "touch latency" in the N9 Q&A area and this thread was the only thing that appeared, so I'd say that's probably not much of an issue.
The only difference worth mentioning other than performance and rooting as you mentioned, is game emulation, basically the Exynos isn't really supported.

I have searched for the difference on YouTube and google but the results are related to tests that were done before the Android Pie upgrade, as mentioned in my post above. There are some comments on those YouTube videos and on the Anandtech website where people are claiming that the performance of the Exynos variant has improved significantly, however there don't seem to be any official tests to confirm this. With so many members in this forum having both variants, I am hoping that we can get some answers here.
In the Anandtech tests, the Snapdragon variant was quite considerably faster in nearly every test. Certainly nowhere near evenly matched.
So, how close is the performance of the Exynos variant now after the Pie update with One UI?
Thanks for the feedback on the other questions.
So all you really need is someone to test an Exynos device on Oreo and Pie and see if the results differ. I'm happy to do that for you a bit later, name me the benchmarks you'd like to see and I'll see what I can do.

If you don't mind (Since this will be quite a time consuming process), yes please, I think it would be really interesting to compare the Pie (On One UI) results with those in the Anandtech tests.
I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the link but you can Google the Note 9 Snapdragon vs Exynos test by Anandtech.
They used the following benchmarks:
PCMark 2.0
3DMark
GFXBench
Speedometer 2.0 (Runs in your Browser. Google it)
WeXPRT 3 (Runs in your browser. Google it)
Sounds good to me, I'll be flashing the Oreo and Pie versions of Devbase as it's as stable as it gets.
for what its worth here are some geekbench results done on a korean n960n exynos ( its not a 9600 or 960f as stated in recent discussions but i can vouch for the build quality, have not seen one screen or other defect issue reported from an other n960n user. cant say the same for 960f or 960u...forums are full of them)

Out of interest, where was the n960n manufactured? It seems like the n960n is considerably less popular on XDA (a quick search in the Q&A area shows a total of about 5 threads referencing the device, out of the ~770 total threads), which is probably why we see less issues reported.
I know that 960f is for Australia and Europe.

I've just finished testing Oreo vs Pie. Unlike Anandtech, I'm not using obfuscated applications IDs to avoid benchmark detection, I'm just installing direct from the Play store, so I don't know if that will have any effect on the scores. I'm also letting the device cool between tests and running on battery power (In the 50 - 70% range) as that seems like the best way to keep things consistent.
Here are the Oreo results: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JrA2XdaB8zcTZbNV9
And the Pie results: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HDGmEENdVsPLkdCJ7
It does indeed seem like some improvements have been made, I don't know where the improvements come from, whether it's the newer version of Android or tweaks Samsung have made. It'd be interesting if an owner of a Snapdragon device could do similar tests.

Those are some interesting results across the board. It is clear that Samsung has done a fair amount of optimization although the SD845 is still faster in most of the benchmarks according to Anandtech results.
Thank you so much for the detailed time and effort that you have put into running the benchmark tests and uploading the results.
I think you just may have convinced me to go for the Exynos variant in the color that I want, knowing that the performance has improved to within reach of the SD845. :good:
I wasn't really trying to convince you one way or another but to be honest, I'd say the colour of the device is possibly more important, you're looking at the device every time you use it but the performance difference between the two SOC's in real life is pretty negligible.
Exynos version has a stock call recording feature. Snapdragon not. This thing it a most important for me.

korea!
yeah i know but of those threads, i would of thought that at lest once would an issue come up. i also had a note 8, same deal, n950n pristine device. no one ever complained. but again as you point out, might be simple probability
one thing to consider, if the devices were not targeted to as a big population as the F's or U's( no pun intended lol ) then quality control might have been better because they simply produced less and... Maybe they produce nicer phones for themselves...lol you don't chit where you eat as they say.
edit
for what its worth, i had started a thread about note 9 issues:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-country-origin-vs-defects-t3841388
I wouldn't bother with any of that. Get a note 9 from whomever offers the best warranty would be my first choice of criteria.

So i have now the note 4 ...i know old runner
But it's amazing phone
And of course i need to upgrade
There's a deal for note 9 for about 660$
But the problem it is exynos version
I can't make a decision
I wanted the snapdragons version it's not available any where i live
And there is no option expect the (one plus 6t) and it is near the same price
I think every advantage go to Samsung
The display the camera The mic the vibration motor
Just the processor is the advantage to the OnePlus and the 2gig of ram
But again it's exynos and i read allot of thing about the performance and the battery drain withe allot of benchmark and test
I play games ((pubg)) especially
Can you advice me ..?
How is the phone after pie update?
And did you play games...how was the performance ?
I consider my self heavy user
I don't know what to do i think my head is melting ....these a big thing to me i don't change my phone offen
And Samsung was good with me in the note serice
But the SOC is very frustrated
Thanks and sorry for my English

If your budget allows you to spend more, you can get a Note 9 with a Snapdragon processor from eBay (imported from Hong Kong) for around U$700 - 800 including shipping. If you are fixed at $660 then there really isn't anything to consider, just go for the option (Eynos Note 9) that you have available to you now.
I think its clear from the results posted earlier in this thread that the performance of the Exynos variants has improved with Android Pie and isn't trailing too far behind the Snapdragon variants anymore. Battery life has also improved a lot since the launch of the S9 series with the same SoC.
As stated in earlier posts, the real-world performance difference is very small. The Eynos 9810 is still very much a flagship SoC and is more than capable of delivering top performance in the games that are currently available on Android. Coming from a Note 4, your new Exynos based Note will feel buttery smooth while delivering plenty of value in other areas as well. (Battery life, screen quality, features like new Bluetooth S-pen and wireless charging, camera image quality etc..)
As a side note, the Exynos variants seem to be getting updated to Android Pie with One UI already, while the Snapdragon variants are still waiting.

Thank you very much for answering
I think you convince me to go with note 9
I can't order from eBay it's out of my budget
I think the performance gab between the two has decreased now after pie update
And i care allot for developer community in the long way
That's what makes my note 4 useable until now
One thing i can't keep out of my head
There's a phone half the price of mine with faster SOC and better game play (pocophone)
But as a package
I will go with note 9 exynos and try to forget :victory:
Good move! Your going to like the EXynos...

Is that a sarcasm
Hi guys,
It`s here. It is happening. The leaksters were wrong! Samsung unveiled officially the Exynos 2200 and it is full of surprises and promises.
Big promises were made by Samsung and I really like it! I will make sure to check all of that once I get my hands on the S22 Ultra.
One of he most exciting topics is the new AMD RDNA v2 coming with the brad new Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU! So no more Adreno, no more Mali, let`s see what Xclipse can do! Also new ISP supporting up to 200 mpx and zero shutter lag up to 108 mpx (insane), new NPU unit (2x smart as S21 series), new display supporting up to 144 Hz, of course HRD10+ and with over 1700 brightness nits... It all sounds too good to be true!
Check this video and learn ALL you KNEED to KNOW for the Samsung Exynos 2200.
It seems not very good
First Exynos 2200 benchmarks emerge
We'd advise against reading too much into those at this point though. Samsung just unveiled its Exynos 2200 flagship SoC for 2022 and MySmartPrice has the...

Honestly speaking it depends - I for one would prefer a good compromise between performance and battery life to plain High-Score-grabbing....
But admittedly it's a bit early to judge
Good afternoon.
I'm interested in a L29 and I don't know whether to buy it second-hand because the battery issue scares me, so from my experience there are two factors that I think are crucial to get the maximum battery life, let me know if someone could reach 6h of screen or more.
One of them is to get the lightest ROM possible, I currently have on a nubia z17 mini, lineage OS with Oreo 8.1.0 and it is the best version I have found to save battery. I think from android v8, whole new versions of android penalize the battery a lot. What do you think about it?
The second is to underclock the processor, it needs to be rooted, but there is a noticeable difference in consumption even if the phone is a little slower. Is it possible on the L29 to do this? Does anyone have experience.
All the best.
Thank you.
up!!
