I've owned all Notes except the very first. After upgrading from the 9 I have similar regret to how I felt when I upgraded from the 4 to the 5 regarding some of the features that were lost.
I like that it is lighter, the screen is great and the camera is an improvement.
I use the SPen a lot and the motion features aren't just a gimmick to me.
Don't miss the lack of an audio jack because I hate feeling tethered.
The phone overall just feels crisp!
Still getting used to the hole punch.
Not of fan of the finger print sensor and to lose the Iris scanner is a step back for me and how I use my device. Also wish I could still use the gesture with the finger print scanner to see notifications, that was useful.
... My initial thoughts so far.
