I love my Note 9. But I have to admit...I can't find a single, regular use for the S-PEN. I don't draw stuff, and I don't have much need for on the road notes that need to be drawn (I usually use voice notes if I need it at all).
I am not judging the pen...just saying that I have not been able to use it productively the way that I work.
However, for those that say the S10+ is no better, check this comparison:

Wifi 6, better cameras, FM radio, etc... it is a newer and more feature rich package from a technical perspective.
This being said, my next phone will be a Samsung S"something" when 5G is correctly and fully implemented by Verizon and Samsung.
