Samsung Galaxy Note 9: How good is the battery life, and how fast does it charge? | Android Central. A day at DisneyWorld is a real test of phone battery life. I even got into the habit of carrying extra batteries in the days when we could remove the backs of phones. After that, I purchased about every external battery pack made and carried one while doing the parks. The Note 9, however, is the first phone that lasts from the minute I get up in the morning until 11 at night when a Disney day is done. I use it all day for checking Disney reservations, looking up wait times with the Disney app, making and receiving phone calls, and just generally using it all the time. Just one more reason to use a Note 9 as a daily driver. It is a perfect traveler’s phone, and you shouldn’t leave home without it. Note9battery
