The Galaxy Note 9 features a larger display than the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

A smartphone's display is arguably its most important feature — it's your main interface for both viewing and touching your content.

Having more screen real estate is generally useful. Videos and apps look bigger and better, and you have more space to type and work, among other things.

The Galaxy Note 9 features a 6.4-inch quad-HD Super Amoled display, whereas the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus feature smaller 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch screens.

The Galaxy Note 9 has a bigger battery capacity than the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

The Galaxy Note 9 has a massive 4,000-mAh battery, which should outlast the 3,000- and 3,500-mAh batteries in the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus get close to 11 hours of battery life, but the Galaxy Note 9 should get around 12 hours.

You can get way more storage in the Galaxy Note 9 than you can with the Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus.

If you're always worried about having enough store in your phone, the Galaxy Note 9 is going to be the way to go.

The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus both feature 64 GB of built-in storage, with a microSD slot that supports up to 400 GB.

The Galaxy Note 9, on the other hand, features either 128 GB or 512 GB of built-in storage, depending on which model you choose, and its microSD slot can support up to another 512 GB of space.

That means you could have over 1 terabyte of space in your Galaxy Note 9.
