The Note 9 comes with a dual-camera setup, featuring a wide-angle camera with 12MP sensor, f/1.5-2.4 dual-aperture lens and dual-pixel autofocus. The second camera offers a 12MP sensor with a 2x “telephoto” lens and f/2.4 aperture. Both lenses are optically stabilised.

The handset achieved an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 103 points. The company said, “It offers a well-balanced mix for both stills and videos and delivers very good image quality across a wide range of lighting conditions”.

With a total Photo score of 107, DxOMark called the Note 9 “one of the best-performing smartphones for stills”. Autofocus performance was rated as “excellent”, and the camera scored high for balancing detail retention and noise reduction, zoom quality and realistic bokeh effects.
