Introduction: What makes Note 9 a good gaming phone? 

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is packed with many optimisations that make it one of the best smartphones for gaming.

Here’s why you’re in for an amazing mobile gaming experience with the Note 9.

Speed

The Note 9 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which can run at a speed of up to 2.8GHz- perfect for restless souls who want their apps and games to load instantly. You can even activate the “beast” mode on Note 9 to make your apps load even faster.

Ever worked your way up to a new highscore, only to die due to a sudden lag in your game?

Fret not, because the speed of the Note 9 will also make all your apps run very smoothly. Never again will you face the problem of lags in the middle of your game!

Large display screen

The Note 9 also features a 6.4 inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display. This is perfect for games with high graphics – you’ll be able to enjoy the full experience of your game on a large, high quality display. 

Large battery

The Note 9 is fuelled by a massive 4000mAh battery, maximising battery life. In fact, this battery can last for approximately 22-24h.

With such a long-lasting battery, you’ll be able to play your high quality, graphic-intensive games without fear of your phone running out of battery mid-game. 

Large memory

The Note 9 can have up to 512GB of internal storage, and this can be further increased to 1TB with a micro- SD card. Such large memory is especially useful, since your favourite high-resolution games tend to have bigger files and take up more storage space.

You’ll be able to download as many of such games as you want!

Water carbon cooling

Gaming can be extremely taxing on your device – to the point where it becomes really hot.

Fret not! The Note 9 comes with a Water Carbon Cooling System, ensuring that your phone does not overheat even as you game for hours on end.

S Pen

The Note 9 also comes with the new and improved S Pen, an excellent tool for gaming! Read on to see some games that are played best with the S Pen. 

Gaming Tools

And if the above Note 9 features aren’t enough, the Note 9 even has some built in tools just for gamers! 

Note 9 has Game Launcher, where all your games are gathered for easy access. You can also use Game Launcher to manage your notifications, minimising disruptions to your gaming session; you will be able to  mute notifications and reduce incoming calls to a mere pop up.

Game Launcher also has other features: enabling full screen, saving battery life and recording gameplay. 

Now that you know what your Note 9 is capable of, here are 7 noteworthy games you can play on your Note 9 to experience its capabilities! 

1. Fruit Ninja

Introduction of game 

In Fruit Ninja, your job is to slice fruits that pop up whilst avoiding the bombs (slice the bomb and you are out!)

Watch out for the combos and the pomegranate, because hitting them can give you lots of points. 

The longer you play, the trickier the scenarios get. You’ll be thrown a whole bunch of fruits to slash, oftentimes topped with a complementary bomb.

In times like this, you’ll wish you had something to help improve your accuracy. 

Feature of Note 9 

Fortunately, the Note 9 comes with the S Pen- a lifesaver in your game of Fruit Ninja. 

How the feature enhances gameplay 

While Fruit Ninja may seem outdated and even juvenile, it’s definitely worth a shot on your new Note 9.

Because the S Pen that comes with your Note 9 brings the game to a whole new level- no more fat fingers slashing a bomb instead of a berry by accident.

With the S Pen, you can be incredibly accurate, hitting every single combo that comes your way. 

Besides, you’ll be surprised at how much more satisfying it is when you get to use your S Pen to slash the fruits.

It almost feels like you’re wielding an actual blade in your hand! 

2. Scribble Racer – S Pen

Introduction of game

In this game, players have to race through a path while avoiding obstacles as well as the wall.

The goal is to stay on the path and last as long as possible without running into anything.

Additionally, players can collect fruits, coins and prizes along the way to boost their scores. Very addictive gameplay suitable for players of all ages!

Feature of Note 9 

The game Scribble Racer is designed for the Samsung Galaxy Note series, and even has S Pen in its name. Unsurprisingly, this game is best played with the S Pen.

How the feature enhances gameplay 

The S Pen gives you the precision you need to manoeuvre your way through the narrow, winding paths of the game – it is almost impossible to achieve such accuracy with just fingers, especially when the game gets increasingly difficult! 

Another interesting feature of the S Pen is that you can simply lift it to pause the game and put it back on your screen to resume the game.

This is extremely convenient if you want to pause in the middle of an intense game without being thrown off the path.

3. AirAttack 2

Introduction of game

Unlike the first two games, this game is a lot more intense and action-packed. 

AirAttack 2 is set in World War II. In this game, players first choose a type of warplane, then use the weapons specific to the plane to destroy buildings, vehicles and ships.

Put simply, AirAttack 2 is your typical mobile shooter where you move around to avoid fire and of course, fire at your opponents.

This game consists of 22 missions, and you’ll receive silver ingots and stars upon accomplishing missions.

Feature of Note 9 

AirAttack 2 is the perfect game for you to try out the S Pen’s new hover function.

How the feature enhances gameplay 

Playing AirAttack 2 on the Note 9 is just so much better, because all you have to do is hover your S Pen slightly above your screen, and you’ll be able to control your plane!

The only time you have to touch your screen is when you want to drop a bomb.

4. Fortnite

Introduction of game 

Fortnite is a battle royale style survival game. Each match begins with a character in a flying bus that takes a random route over an island. Your character will then land at a random location. He uses his pickaxe to gather as many weapons and armour sets as possible while fighting off enemies.

In the game, 100 players fight against each other, with the goal of emerging as the last one standing.

Features of Note 9 

Fortnite is now available on Android and only playable on Samsung devices- so it’s a must-play on your new Note 9!

Besides, the Note 9 features such as its amazing speed, large battery and cooling system all work together to give you an amazing gaming experience. 

How the features enhance gameplay 

The competitive element of Fortnite is one of the reasons why the game is so popular.

But on top of that, its colourful, high graphic animations definitely play a part in increasing the game’s appeal. This is further enhanced when you play it on the Note 9, which supports high graphics – in fact, the Note 9 has one of the best hardware capable of supporting such high graphic games.

On the Note 9, Fortnite can run on its highest graphics setting, and this increase in colour and saturation really brings out the intensity of the fights!

Secondly, Fortnite is notorious for draining vast amounts of battery- unsurprising, given its high graphics.

Nonetheless, with the Note 9’s 4000mAh battery, Fortnite will run just fine and you’ll be able to enjoy a long game (while maintaining decent frame rates!) before your phone runs out of battery.

Not to forget the water carbon cooling system that prevents your phone from heating up!

Best of all, when you play Fortnite on your Note 9, you will get an exclusive galaxy skin that only Note 9 and Tab S4 users can get.

5. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)

Introduction of the game

PUBG is another battle royale style game, similar to Fortnite.

As in Fortnite, 100 players parachute onto an island in search of weapons and other supplies such as clothes and medical supplies to keep themselves alive. At the same time, they have to battle it out with one another.

As the game progresses, play area decreases in size and players are forced closer to another. Those left stranded outside of the safe area will have their health reduced till they die. 

The goal of this game is to be the last one standing.

It takes a whole lot of stealth, strategy and fighting skills to win! And of course, it’d also be great to have some luck on your side.

Features of Note 9

While you can’t always have luck on your side, playing PUBG on a good gaming phone like Note 9 will definitely give you a boost.

Be it fast frame rates or large screens, all these Note 9 features will prove to be extremely useful in your game.

How the features enhance gameplay

Due to the similarities between the two games, you’ll be able to experience the same enhanced features as those in Fortnite when you play PUBG.

In addition to those, here are 2 other ways in which the Note 9 enhances PUBG gameplay. 

With the Snapdragon 845 processor, the Note 9 features amazingly fast frame rates. You’ll get to enjoy smooth gameplay with no lags that slow you down! This is perfect for the highly competitive, highly demanding PUBG.

Every additional frame per second you can get will give you an advantage in the game – after all, quick reaction is a crucial element of combat.

Hint: set your frame rate to Ultra for an even better gaming experience!

Besides, PUBG has a bolder, more realistic look as compared to Fortnite. The Note 9’s large 6.4 inch screen will bring out these graphics really well, making your gaming experience an immensely satisfying one.

6. Asphalt 9: Legends

Introduction of the game

Asphalt 9: Legends is a hyper-realistic race game where you get the chance to drive your dream car across many real locations.

You take on a wide variety of tasks such as running away from cops and completing stunts, with the ultimate aim of winning each season of races – it’s a thrilling game where you get to perform amazing stunts with your car.

You can even form your very own race club and compete as a team with other like-minded individuals. 

Apart from the fact that you get to race over 50 dream cars across 70 amazing tracks, something else that makes this game one of the most popular racing games is its ultra detailed real cars.

You’ll be able to choose from popular branded cars like Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and W. Motors! You can even modify your cars, changing their colours, materials and parts to suit your liking.

Features of Note 9

The Note 9’s Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display brings Asphalt 9 to new heights with amazing gameplay visuals.

How the features enhance gameplay 

With such an array of glamorous cars, you would definitely want a device that is able to bring out the brilliant aesthetics of the game. This highly graphic game is definitely enhanced by the Note 9.

The Note 9’s Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display will leave you so fascinated with just how realistic your cars look. It’ll be just as though you are playing Asphalt 9 on a console device, or even better- in a real-life racing game. 

Of course, you’ll also be able to enjoy the above-mentioned benefits of fast frame rates, lasting batteries and all!

7. Shadowgun Legends

Introduction of game

Watch out & gear up! Humanity is under attack from an alien invader!

Shadowgun Legends is a sci-fi alien invasion game and also a role-play shooting game, where you take on the role of Shadowgun, a soldier.

In this game, you advance by completing the various shooting missions – when you complete a mission, you gain experience points, allowing you to progress further. 

Shadowgun Legends is also a cooperative multiplayer game where you can interact with others and play in teams.

Features of Note 9 

With such an intense game where every second counts, you’ll need a gaming phone as speedy and durable as the Note 9.

How the features enhance gameplay 

The most obvious way in which Note 9 enhances gameplay in Shadowgun Legends is how well the controls work.

While the controls are pretty much the same as that of any other mobile shooter, Shadowgun Legends runs at both 60 fps and Ultra High graphics setting with no performance issues on the Note 9.

Despite this, your Note 9 is still able to support the game well, thanks to its large battery and cooling system. 

And as in all other games played on the Note 9, the graphics of Shadowgun Legends are a whole new level.

The game looks amazing on the 6.4 inch Note 9 screen, and such a beautiful display will guarantee you an immersive experience while playing your game.

Besides, Shadowgun Legends was developed with Unreal Engine 4 with optimisation for mobile, so its graphics look amazing – made even better with the Note 9!
