          Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Samsung Galaxy S9+ - User Opinions

            The S9 Plus comes with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 845 processor, whereas the Note 8 has last year's Snapdragon 835. The newer processor is faster, more power efficient, and enables a handful of other tricks. Since both phones have 6GB of RAM, we can unequivocally say that the S9 Plus is the better performer.Mar 16, 2018
