Is there anything vaguely similar like the Samsung Galaxy Note "screen-off memo" available for OnePlus 7T Pro?
I couldn't find anything on the PlayStore.....
Ideally, it would be gesture activated when screen is off, & recognise finger input for drawing/ doodles (not just typing-input).
Any recommendations?

Haven't seen an app like this, and that was firmware based on note products with a s pen built into the phone and the s pen triggered that so called gesture. If you wanted another stylus phone, I think you picked the wrong phone. As for me my last Samsung was a note 8 and really didn't use the s pen so this phone is great for me. If you want quick notes, try voice dictation with Google. Ex ok Google. Take note then speak note
This is why I got a Tab S4, my tablet has some cool features, but I don't use them nearly enough to justify the price tag and bloated software on my phone

I did not want another stylus phone - this is not what I meant.
There are many apps available for all android phones which accept finger input for drawing/ doodles etc. If this could be (technically possible??) made available for when screen is off - can be very handy (same reasons as SG Note series "screen-off memo".
Only difference being, instead of stylus removal activating this feature, in non-stylus phones it could be activated by gestures (similar to those gestures which activate torch or camera while screen is off).

Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 2. I don't find the need to upgrade to Note 3. I use the S-pen often to write notes and use the devise to read/annotate pdf. I also take photos very often and sometimes videos as well. I also use the voice recorder. I found the screen of the Note 2 a bit small. I have to change my glass and zoom in all the time. I have been waiting for the Note Pro 8" but disappointingly Samsung only announced the Tab Pro 8" without a S-pen. I suppose that in the summer or later this year, they will make the Note Pro 8" available. At that time, I will certainly buy it. Between now and then, I am considering whether or not to trade in my Note 2 for the Xperia Z Ultra. Any opinions appreciated.

Do you take a lot out photos? If yes, i would skip the Ultra to be honest.
I have note 3 and XZU and if you take a lot of pics then stay away from Xperia Z Ultra. The camera is very bad and pictures have a lot of noise in them.
I am going to do a photoshoot with the Xperia to see how bad it really is. I am an amateur photographer but I will only take the phone this time to see what I come up with because when using ISO 50 and 100 I am getting decent results unlike when I first got the phone and was shocked how horrible things were.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. Somewhere I read that there is an optional lens that could make the device one of the best in terms of photo quality. Anybody tried it? Can't find it on the local Sony website.
2. I have an extra stylus from Note 1. In terms of drawing and writing, how the Xperia Z Ultra compared with the Note 3?
3. Is there a good screen protector to avoid scratches?
4. How about the voice recording capability?
5. Is it easy to do file transfer between the device and PC especially the Mac?
6. I use ezpdf reader. Does larger screen means seeing more things at larger size?
Before the Note Pro 8" comes out, if not trading-in for the Z Ultra, what do you recommend? Too bad the iPad Air and rMini do not have a phone function.
1. That's the QX10 and QX100.
2. The S-Pen and other Wacom styluses doesn't work.
3. I would think so, but I'm not using one, so I don't know.
4. Quality wise? No idea. Not using it.
5. No tools or programs are necessary on Windows to transfer files. It's just drag and drop. There is an Android transfer tool for Mac.
6. Yes. If you want even more space, lower the screen DPI. I think you'll be fine though.
Overall, it doesn't support the S-Pen or other specialized styluses. It supports regular pens and stuff like that. The camera isn't good either, but video recording is okay.
The Ultra is mostly targeted at business people who has to handle a lot of documents (especially reading) and stuff like that, and it won't match your criterias if you like to draw and use styluses. It's a powerful tool, but I personally think you'll be happier with something that has all these stuff you're asking about integrated in a better way (like a Note).
Can I ask you what you plan on using it for? Work? Studies? Hobby?

Do you think note pro 8 gonna have phone function? as i recall, tab pro doesnt. Coz if tab pro have phone function, i might buy that one
It really comes to size I owned 6 of the note 2's nice phone but too small for me, I owned a note 3 which is a great phone to me it was much better then the note 2 but also too small - it lasted 2 days and I went back to the ultra once you use this Sony for a few days it is very hard to back to anything smaller. The note pro 8 does looking very interesting I am also looking for something bigger to replace my galaxy tab 7.7

I am a scientist. I use it mainly for work and hobby. In the past, I printed out lots of power point slides and pdf files for reading. However, I cannot carry all these with me while traveling. I am looking for a device that is excellent for annotating research papers and power points in pdf format. I like to take photos and videos. I spend about 1.5-2 hours on public transportation. Want to get some work done while waiting at the bus stop or on the bus or train. If there were a Note Pro of about 8" (with S-pen and phone capability), that would be the best. I would just trade in my phone for such device. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Samsung decided not to release a Note Pro 8" but a Tab Pro 8". Is this a marketing strategy? Anybody has an idea when the Note Pro 8" would be out? I guess probably in the Fall. Considered to get the 12.2" Note Pro. Not sure if it is too heavy to use while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
I tried the device in a store today. I viewed the same pdf file from both the Ultra Z and my Galaxy Note 2. Viewing the pdf from the Ultra Z was much better. The background was white and the letters were clear. Everything looked good until I tried the camera. The images were very bad compared with the same ones taken from my Galaxy Note 2. Wonder if I should buy the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air. Then, trade in for the Note Pro 12.2 or Note Pro 8 later.

The camera is not too bad in good light, and is even usable if you don't use the stock camera app
I tried it in a store. It was very bright! Do you mean using other camera apps could lead to better quality photos? Which one do you recommend?
Any idea on how to use S Pen on S9/S9+? I am Ok to use even a similar one.

Likely not an option. The screen doesn't have the corresponding technology to receive S-Pen input. Note 8, Chromebook Pro/Plus, and probably the S Tab 3 use a technology in the screen as well as the pen.
Thank you for the update. But are there any other options not necessarily S Pen?
I am using the galaxy s9 plus and if I add an activity using nova launcher, under Samsung DeX there is an activity called s pen input mode, calls on com.android.launcher3.settings.SPenInputModePrefer enceActivity, and when activated pops up permission denied. Maybe there is some sort of hope?
Stylus
Hi!
I'm an artist and recently bought an s9 because my s7 broke.
My husband loves having the newest phone and bought a note 9 and I must say I was very jealous of his SPen... even though a note 9 is not practical for me because it's too large!
He bought me a stylus from Amazon. Works great!

Which one is it, do you know? I want one so bad that works with the S9+
There are a number of styluses that would work, but they won't be as responsive as those that come with the Note series.
The note series phones have a piece behind the lcd that picks up the stylus from the bite series. It's physical hardware and software that allows them to work as good as they do.

a "stylus" you say....
firstly, i am very sorry if this offends you, i just saw the opportunity for a pun and couldnt resist.
Hey guys, new to all this so go easy on me. Over the past few years I have become a bit of a tech fanatic. I like to get a phone, use for a few months then sell on while it retains value. I'm March I got the S9 Plus coming from a Note 8 and from that coming from an S8 Plus. I love Samsung through heaven and earth but have become slightly bored with their design and UI. I have been strongly considering the Huawei P20 Pro and the OnePlus 6. Can I have your thoughts please? I have read/watch so many reviews on the P20 Pro and it's seems amazing the lag is the main issue as I do now want it. I don't game, I use a phone for emails, text, whatsapp, web browsing, Twitter, Instagram etc. ?
Why not ask in those forums? This is the Galaxy S9+ forums.

Agreed, definitely this over the OP6 or P20

If you are bored of s9 plus UI then undoubtedly you would definitely get bored of Huwawei's EMUI(yup, has bit of lags as well) and Note 9 UI will be the same as S9 plus(with slightly added refinement of samsung experience) . So as per your question and requirement, you are left with OP6. OxyGenOS is a well thought - out one with some nifty features. The OTAs bring bug sometimes but overall its a, fast fluid experience without bells and whistles.

Except coming from an S9 plus the OP6 is missing some key features.
Sd card slot.
Ip68 rating
Wireless charging
Stereo speakers (although there is a mod for this).
Sure the device is cheaper and some may not care about those features but once you have grown accustomed to them very difficult to give up!
For example, me i dont really care about the IP68 rating but will not purchase any device without the other 3 listed.

True. Had the OP asked for a comparison I could go on and on including your points. But it seems he is bored of Samsung UI, design and trying to choose in bet^n P20 Pro and OnePlus 6. Also based on his additional requirements, I can assure that he would get a pleasant experience with the OP6.

Why won't you just install another launcher on the S9+? That should give you plenty of options to configure how the phone looks. Not all will change of course, but how many time do you spend in the phone's menu's
I had the Mate 10 Pro and P20, had issues with screen dimming on both phones on most all apps, great phones aside from the screen dimming. The screen would dim a couple of seconds after launching any app.
This bothered me to the point of switching to the S9 Plus, if you want a phone that works like its supposed to the S9 is it. Nothing beats the Samsung screens and design. It just works...
I had Mate10 non pro (now stolen, it was a fine Phone, but cam was not naturally for people.).
After them, my old Oneplus 3 (happy with Miui ROM),
then a Xiaomi MiA1 (boring stock Android), then MiMix2s (really good phone, but missing Netflix HD. For me Netflix HD is Import cuz i have 1:10h Train every day).
Now i got the S9+, this is the best package and also the best compromisse!
I've been also a true Samsung user for a long time and getting kinda tired of limitless samsung features and services that prevent the phone from being super snappy and eat up batterytime. Flashed Resurrection Remix ROM on the G-965F and it gave a complete different feeling i.e. near and dear to my liking but still not found a cam mod that works in portrait mode. Rooting, flashing ROMs and the like don't come without sacrifices.:cyclops:
Owning both G-965F and G-9650 models for months now and Pixel 3 XL/OnePlus 6T are in my wish-bucket list.
I had the P20 Pro and sold it mostly because I could get the S9+ for 400$ new. It has its fair share of quirks....It is noticeable laggier than the S9+ and the camera was not great when just trying to point and shoot. You could take great photos with it, but you had to fiddle with it every time to get the shot right.
The battery life is absolutely phenomenal though. The battery could easily last me 2 days. Huawei also has the same problem as Samsung though, and it is a big one for me, updating in a timely fashion.
I am waiting for the Oneplus 6t and Pixel 3 XL and will most likely be switching to one of those and giving the S9+ to my son when I do.
Hi, I've never used a Chinese handset before. I normally go for the iphones for their smoothness or the Galaxy series, but lately I've been wanting to get a Mate 20 Pro. Would you or would you not recommend it over a Note 9? I heard the EMUI in general, is lacking behind Samsung's One UI and feels "outdated", and there are small issues here and there with notifications and things generally not being as smooth as the iphones or galaxy counterpart.
I WILL be rooting and using a custom ROM if that helps at all, but what I'm looking for is:
- Great camera
- Great selfie-camera
- Great battery life
- Superfast device unlock (whether in display fingerprint or 3d face scan). I usually use the fingerprint scanner on my Note 9
- Smooth and intuitive UI, preferably with nice features like those on the OnePlus series
- I don't care about the speaker sound, since I use bluetooth headsets 99% of the time
- No major bugs or freezing etc...
TIA,
JC
Mate 20 pro no doubt.

If you really want to root, forget about the Mate 20 Pro, it's almost impossible to unlock the bootloader.
Unlock codes are only available for a short time and cost around $50
I've got both but my sim mainly stays in the mate for the camera and battery.
Handing a htc u11 before and now switching to m20p,I must say that m20p is so amazing with its camera, smoothness,and so many convenient functions such as ir remote and so on

i have both, and both is rooted, BUT forget rooting mate 20 pro since it's impossible getting new bootloder unlock codes.
the sim almost always stays in my mate 20 pro, but there are som things that's annoying on the mate, one thing is the fingerprint sensor, another thing is the update frequency. i only use the root to get new updates.
I got my BL unlocked for $20
Hi all,
So here's the deal... I was scrolling on facebook and because they know everything about me (except what phone I use apparently) I saw an ad for a pair of matching cases for the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPad Pro. Before I realised I wanted it, I'd closed the app and lost the advert.
So, I wonder if anyone knows a similar thing for Samsung devices?
