The short answer is they're both great phones that serve different functions. The Note8 has a bigger screen, (6.3 inches as opposed to 5.8 inches for the Galaxy S9). It also has dual rear-facing cameras, giving you the option of 2x optical zoom – so you can get closer to your subject without compromising quality.

In terms of performance, the phones are pretty similar. The Galaxy S9 has the faster, more efficient Exynos 9810 chip, which lets it run AI applications like facial recognition – but the Note8 has 6GB RAM (as opposed to 4GB for the Galaxy S9) so it should be able to multi-task more smoothly.
