Exynos 9810 performance

11. Which processor is in this international Note9?

The international Note9 uses Samsung’s Exynos 9810 platform.

12. What process technology does it use?

10nm FinFET.

13. How many CPU cores are there?

Eight. The Exynos 9810 combines four Samsung custom performance cores with four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores.

14. What CPU speed should the retail listing use?

For the Note9 specifically, Samsung’s device documentation gives an Exynos 9810 configuration of approximately 2.7GHz + 1.7GHz maximum CPU groups. That is safer than mixing the chipset’s theoretical maximum frequencies into the phone listing.

15. Why does Samsung Semiconductor list 2.9GHz/1.9GHz?

Those are the maximum capabilities of the Exynos 9810 platform itself. Device manufacturers can clock a chipset differently; the Note9 device-specific Samsung material lists lower values.

16. Which GPU is used?

Mali-G72 MP18. Samsung specifically promoted the 18-core Mali-G72 graphics implementation in the Exynos Note9.

17. Is Mali-G72 MP18 manufacturer-supported information?

Yes. Samsung’s own Note9 gaming materials name Mali-G72 MP18.

18. Does the Note9 have dedicated cooling?

Yes. Samsung uses a Water Carbon Cooling System.

19. What was the purpose of Water Carbon Cooling?

Samsung designed it to dissipate heat during sustained gaming and demanding workloads, together with intelligent performance adjustment.

20. Is the Note9 still a modern flagship-performance phone in 2026?

27. Should the page say “QHD+ AMOLED”?

Yes. That is accurate.

28. Is the current ~83.4% screen-to-body ratio Samsung-published?

I would not treat it as a primary Samsung specification. Samsung’s launch material focuses on the 6.4-inch panel, resolution and 516 PPI rather than publishing that percentage.

29. Should the ~83.4% ratio stay?

For manufacturer-grounded copy, I would remove it rather than use a third-party calculated figure.

30. Does the phone support Always On Display?

Yes. Always On Display is part of the Note9 software/display feature set.

Yes. Both rear cameras have optical stabilization.

58. Does the camera have scene intelligence?

Yes. Samsung promoted intelligent scene recognition and automatic optimization.

59. Does it detect bad shots?

Samsung’s launch materials describe features that detect issues such as blinking or blur and alert the user.

60. Should the camera section include third-party sensor sizes?

For a manufacturer-grounded listing, I would keep Samsung’s verified 12MP + 12MP, Dual Aperture, Dual OIS and 2× optical zoom and omit third-party sensor-size figures unless you have a component-level source.
