Fits in the hand like a glove. Can't complain. I'm a small woman (5'0") but I have long fingers. I can pretty much one hand most of the screen. The finger print sensor is in a great spot too and with the screen being longer, it's harder to cover the camera when holding it (except when in landscape)
It is a little slippery for one hand when taking pictures though. Of course if you get a case, that's easily solved.
Coming from a note 5 this phone feels prefect. No more needing to stretch the fingers
PERFECT in every way. And the fingerprint, OMG. It works SO FAST!!! Like literally immediate reading with no errors yet. If you input your fingerprint properly there is never and issue and the fact that I can just pick up my phone and use it while others cannot... AMAZING! I do have extra lock screens set (of course) in case I'm sleep and someone wants to touch my finger to the back of my phone (use common sense people) but to just open and make calls, perfect.
I'm loving how this phone feels in the hand compared to how that s7edge felt. The s7edge was a good phone, I loved the screen but the palm rejection kept bugging me. With the G6, that no longer is an issue at all. The phone feels nice and sturdy in the hand and I don't feel like I have to baby the phone. Having said that though, I still got a spigen carbon fiber case for it!
My previous phone was an S7 Edge, which felt like a piece of jewelry. It constantly slipped around and generally didn't have stability (particularly for one hand operation). After a couple days of use, I have no complaints and really like the LG G6 so far.
My biggest nag: for users of the Twilight app (or similar), you cannot dim/red-shift the soft buttons (i.e. back, home, app switch).

very good feeling
I come from Notes 3 and the feeling is the same, I felt good from the start!
Coming from OP3 (and S6Edge before that).
1. Can't believe that it's the same size as the OP3 (OK... Perhaps millimeters bigger), so I felts the same whilst holding/carrying it around.
2. Strangely odd to not have the fingerprint scanner on the home button, or the home button itself. Definitely not used to that... For years.
If my phone is in its back. I can't unlock it whilst looking at the screen. I'd have to either type in my pwd or lift it up for fingerprint authentication.

Coming from an iPhone that's my biggest gripe.

How does it feel in the hand compared to the iphone 6s plus? Same, slightly bigger, need 2 hands to use, etc.
It's wider than the iPhone. You really can't tell, but if you hold the M9 you can freely slide the IP7+ in and out of your hand with ease, because you never grip it.

Mate 9 is a bit wider but shorter.
It's easier to pull down notifications from M9 than iPhone. Mate 9 just looks bigger due to bigger screen, but that's only optical illusion

True that. The fingerprint sensor gestures makes it a breeze.

I think the size/shape of the phone, as well as the quality of materials, is great. But coming from using a Note 3 for 3+ years, I do have a few disappointments, which aren't really specific just to the Mate 9, but the trend of many phones today: My Note 3 had a very grippy back. I felt confident using it without a case that entire time, and no cracked screen. I only used a tempered glass screen protector. Lack of a case allows me to use a "big" phone while still being pocketable. The Mate 9 is VERY slippery. I ended up having to get a case, as I knew I'd be dropping it all the time. So the screen to body ratio, which is one of the Mate 9's key strengths, effectively gets reduced. And while the 2.5D screens LOOK nice, they do make it difficult to get a glass screen protector that goes to the edges. So once you put a protector on, it looks worse than a phone that has a completely flat screen (this, by the way, is why I've never wanted an "edge" phone - to fragile, and impractical to protect). Lastly, I too prefer a front-facing button/scanner. My phone spends much more time face-up than face-down. This is the biggest "usability" gripe I have. Ultimately, a rear-mounted scanner PLUS an under screen scanner will make everyone happy.
I use alien surface for protect screen. And it's edge to edge

I don't know how to rate a post in the Android app, but I'd give it 11 out of 10. The best phone to buy right now if you care about ergonomics. Some people might say you can get a larger screen in similar size, but trust me, those crazy thin bezels just make it harder to hold without pressing anything. X Compact is just perfect. In fact, I'd prefer it to be even smaller with a 4.3" screen, but it's literally the very best option we have right now, without any competition.

I agree with you
if you go to the the site via chrome browser rating is under topic name(when you open the topic)
I gave 5 stars
From my experience with the moto X 1st gen, it's worse in the hand but it has some points elsewhere.
The shape + thickness (the brick) makes it uncomfortable for me as I feel like I need to put strength in my fingers as a claw when walking. My moto X was just resting in the palm of my hand.
But the fingerprint just hits home as it comes under the thumb or my left hand's midlle finger. Same for the camera button which I always used for portrait pics.
Excuse this froggy for his english.
I think it's quite the opposite. The Moto X 2013 was heavier in the top and the super thin rim at the bottom meant I had to hold the phone quite high to use the keyboard. The phone threatened to fall out of my hand during swiping. Only a case with a cutout for the dimple fixed this for me. I could rest a finger in the cutout and secure the phone.
The XC is a joy to hold and just that tad smaller than the Moto X to be perfect for my small hands. Especially that bigger rim at the bottom makes it so much easier to hold and use with one hand!
A huge step down from the Z5c and Z3c. these sharp corners make one hand use pretty much impossible. Tearing open the phone proves there is nothing but air in the corners so Sony is making this design choice on purpose, WHY?
Slightly too large bezel for size. Not quite as comfy as Z3 compact or z5 compact but better than larger phones netherless.
I really like the X Compact's feel. I have large hands, so all small phones are a touch "cramped". XC's rounded edges and material is really comfortable in my hands. I even like the bezel size.
I just ordered the official flip case, no idea how it will change the ergonomics.

Love this phone best phone I have ever owned.
Love the phone, AT&T/Samsung bloatware I can live without, especially Touch Wiz UI!
I had an IPhone 7 Plus, then a Galaxy S8+, now the Note 8.
Dear me, this is one gorgeous phone. I got my iPhone out the other day to prepare it for sale and damn I didn't miss it at all. It felt far less premium than the Note does, for me at least. This is the most beautiful phone I think I have ever owned.
are you finding that the screen gets scratched easily? mine has the samsung led flip cover and there are still small scratches along the edge.

My screen hasn't scratched but the framing around the back camera already looks like it was dragged on concrete (not really, but is is very noticable). There were a few days I had this phone before I had a case for it. Not sure got it got marked up so much. Must be delicate.
Regardless, this phone is by far my favorite I've ever owned.
Absolutely love this phone! Using it is a joy. And taking out the pen to jot something down or do a quick sketch, just confirms every time for me why I love the Note. For me, it's the most useful device that fits in my pocket. It baffles me why so many others seem to be rushing to remove features and make these things we all carrry around less useful, but the Note series is still a throwback to the opposite approach. Long live the Note!
Lag/Stutter/Jank whatever you call it, single handedly ruins this phone for me, why in 2017 do we still have framedrops? its the only reason I even consider iPhones, as they have far less of it.
Its great all around. I miss the IR blaster, and the fingerprint reader on the back is annoying. But its super fast, has the SD card slot, has great features and a great camera and a great battery life.
So far fantastic.

Extra weight over my old Note 4 and J700T1 makes it feel more solid. With cases off, Note 9 is more slippery than my Note 4 or J700T1. Note 9 feels fancier because of smooth back but would never dream of using it without a case.
It feels almost the same as my Note 8. Slightly wider, slightly shorter, slightly heavier than the N8, but so little difference it's tough to notice. Unless you have one in both hands at the same time, really hard to tell the difference.
I still like the Note 7 for in hand feel overall. I think that phone hit the sweet spot for size/weight and height to width ratio. Alas, our N7's are no more (well, some may have a stray around yet), but that was my favorite phone ever for in hand feel (and my favorite phone ever overall honestly I think).

So funny, I actually still have 2 Note 7's that for some reason Verizon never wanted. I walked in, called and begged for them to take them, but they never did.
That being said, I think you're right about the feel of the 7. It was a perfect device in the hand. But, boy does the performance stink. Turned it on and compared it to my 9 and it is a slug, even with nothing on it. So strange how I don't recall it being so slow when I got it 2 years ago.
Having come from an S7, this unit, while esthetically pleasing, is definitely not a one-handed experience like the S7.
The feel of the Note isn't as comfortable as the S7, the thinner bezels and sharper corners makes holding this device a little more worrisome. Especially when you don't have a case to protect your investment.
While the home button isn't in a position that's ideal, at least it's not right by the camera lens.
The S-Pen is great! It's a nice piece of engineering.
The addition of the Bixby button is a brainfart that needs to disappear, as I have NO use for Bixby at all. Samsung is trying too hard to be Apple. Screw Apple, stop following and start leading Sammy.
Just my 2 Canadian cents.

I think Samsung nailed a home run with this phone. It's not even a comparison with any iPhone, much less a fair fight.
One of the biggest things people don't mention is the input latency with fingers and the s-pen. Better than the 3 iPhones I've had. S-pen latency is great. I still have not seen a number but it is quick.

Agree..
Until I remapped that painful button it was giving me the ****s..
It would almost drive a person to root the phone and put on one of the ROMs that turns it into something useful.
Overall I am coming off the Hauwai P9 that I was pretty comfortable with for 10 months.. it did everything I needed and I didn't feel like I needed to root it.
The note 9 is feeling good..I have big hands so don't have a problem with it in one hand.. so between 2 thumb typing and a finger and a thumb (2 hands).. I can get a good typing speed up.
Still not sure on the case and screen saver I will settle on.. have got a few going at the moment and playing between them..
The heavy duty one makes the phone a bit big.. but still feels fine and don't get the feeling that I have to be too dainty with it..
The carbon fibre cover I am using now feels a bit like the phone is going to slip out of my hands.. today I was concerned while I was shopping and pulled it out..
I use gnotes for shopping lists thus will have it out a few times with one hand on the trolley and one hand ticking off items..it's at that time I am feeling that I would not want to drop this or it's going to make for a bad day..
But in saying that.. I use a tablet holder in bed for YouTube/gaming or reading..and finding the using it as a back rest while I flick through threads and type them this takes that too heavy feel out of it..
I would say this is a big as I would want with a phone..
I wish one day Samsung would banage the curved edges.

Yes they are a pain in the ass. It cause me problems instantly when I bough mine yesterday. Had it in the holder in my car and the sun shine on the phone and the edge reflected the bright sunlight and blinded my eyes. It also catches smudges all the time when just holding the phone. It reflects light when looking at the screen taking away screen estate. There´s nothing good with edge at all! Only problems.

I guess edges are less pronounced on this Note than S series ? or may be just got used to it.
Reflection on the side is an issue on curved screen.

Well used to have the iPhone X and to be honest I do have small hands so the note 9 feels a bit big on my hand, but also with time I'm having a blast with it, I wish the the fingerprint scanner be a little bit lower.
The back scratches easily, is a fingerprint magnet and is slippier than a penguin on ice.
I prefer Oneplus's sand back or rubber. These high gloss high slip phones are the dumbest thing to ever be invented. The slip off sofas, smash. Slip out of your hand, smash. Yuk.
Hi there! Did I read you correctly ...

Is not as confortable as the S series but pretty good
Would anyone care to comment on overall durability? Obviously if you drop it without a case on it is going to smash to pieces. Those who have dropped the phone on a hard surface with a case on, how did it fare?

Got 2 drops of about 1 meter high. No cracks, no damage luckily I'm using a cheap silicon case with whitesone dome on screen.
Phone feels solid but you know....glass is fragile.

Thanks for the reply. I was actually just about to purchase but did not realise the entire back is glass!! Pretty big deal for me, I'm coming from the Galaxy Active series. Obviously I'd put a sturdy case on it but not sure if this is the one for me, I'd be absolutely devastated if I smashed the back. Goodbye waterproof.
Stylus
The Note 9 feels great... but the stylus "clicker" hurts my hand when using. I have to wrap tape around it. The edges are sharp.

Just received mine today. Two words , it’s beautiful.
I didn’t think I’d like narrow screens but this feels so good in the hands. Winner.
Didn't like the waterfall screen at first, kept accidentally touching it, but I think I'd struggle going back to a flat display now.
Aesthetically it's a gorgeous phone, the glacial green is not my colour on paper but it's a handsome device when you first see it.
Changes colour to a light blue in the right sunlight.
Probably the best looking phone I've ever had
Received my Onyx Black yesterday, coming from a OP 3T.
The first impact is how big it is. After some hours with it, my OP3T seems so small that I don't want it anymore!!
I still don't like the curved borders. There's no real advantage on having them and on white backgrounds the curves seem a bit transparent and you can see like a "shadow effect" on the borders.
I still am not amazed by the QHD screen. I find the ones from Samsung or Huawei better. Even the 120Hz is not a revolutionary thing to me yet. lol
The glossy black is indeed a fingerprint magnet. I will use a case, so the phone color doesn't mean much to me. Knowing this, I opted for the Onyx because it will be fine with all cases, is stealthy and because everyone went for the other color. I want to be different. lol
The camera bump is much bigger than I thought, but with a case the problem is solved.
Overall I'm satisfied, but not so amazed as I expected to be.
Heavy brick for real. So the in hand feel is shyte, and it falls off the magnetic charger in car due to massive weight. Reminds me of bulky Note9. Mi9 had the optimal weight for a big screen - 175g but i'd go lower. Would be good to produce smaller Oneplus phones like Samsung has. Let's see what happens next year.
Looks like every other phone when you put the case -- a black screen stairing at you, undistinguishable from any other current phone -- but this is slightly improved by the edges and AOD. That is good flagshippish improvement.
Fits like a glove for my larger hands. Best device currently for my usage!
Very good looking phone, but veeery slippery /smooth..I would smash it without a case, just a matter of time.
Size is perfect for me though.
