It did not take long before the new Note 9 ended up under the magnifying glass of the various benchmark programs . In fact, Tom's guide tested the Snapdragon 845 version of the 6 GB Galaxy Note 9, using Geekbench 4 and 3DMark Slingshot Extreme 3.1.

Recall that the Korean manufacturer kicked off the release of this update last week but still may not be available for all models marketed. Still a little patience.
