I don't think on first look it offers a huge leap over the Note 8.
I'm a bit stuck - no one makes the phone I want combined with the software I want...!
What are you after exactly.
The only improvements i would require myself, is a inscreen fingerprint reader, more processing power and less bezels. This note upgrade is just as good as the last, if not better. Its been highly underated. People forget that they expect revolution, but we have reached the age that there is very little to progress on. What happens when the bezels are no longer bezels, just screen. Well we move to hardware. What happens when hardware is as good as it needs to be. Well then we move to software.
We have nearly reached that stage where the body of the phone is almost non existant. So the biggest changes must come from hardware. What has samsung done with the note 9.
Increased battery capacity, something consumers have long awaited for the note series. Not just a small step, but from 3220 to 4000 mah. Nearly 25% increase.
The processing power has been increased nearly 50% over the previous generation, which is a much bigger step than the previous gen.
There is new product features accross the board, new s-pen features, new duel speakers, the option for more ram and internal memory if desired, new camera technology with dual aperture senors. If you dont know how important dynamic aperture is, then lets just say it makes a big difference. Increased cooling performance with new liquid cooling deisgn, improving gaming and heavy load experience by preventing heating induced slowdowns.
This is all while keeping it in a relatively simlar sized product as the previously gen galaxy note. But also reducing the height by 0.5mm, increasing the screen size by 0.1mm and a slightly increased width of 1.5mm to accomodate everything else they have added.
A Note that runs iOS...! 
I'd like dual SIMs ideally and I expect there is a version of the Note 9 that has that which we won't get easily.
It's attractive overall (although I wish we had more colour choice in the larger memory version) and I must say the extra battery would be nice - I run my N8 with the mid battery saver mode on all the time and get about a day and a half on a good day. I just can't quite decide - possible an excess of choice.
I was thinking of the iPhone again but no one will be handing out $900 worth of freebies with that when it is launched in September I am sure - just a $2000 bill.
