Samsung Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+

TitianGerm

Just had the Note 10+ in my hand in Amsterdam. Not to big at all and super screen on it. Didn't feel as big as it is either if that makes sense so I think I'll go with the + over the regular note 10

As I always say when you're used to having big things in your hands the Note isn't that big

Just picked up from parcel motel, all went well.

Why are people buying the non 5G version?

Maybe they've no need for 5G or they feel that the 5G coverage wont be good enough for the minute to justify the extra cost?

Buying a 5G doesnt really make much sense if you not planning to keep your phone 2-3 years. I dont see it happening for another few years, maybe earliee in a few areas but even then it wont be that reliable.

Verizon in USA have a few areas covered that have been reviewed and not a single person has recommended buying a 5G model even there although they are well ahead than Ireland.

5G still in its infancy and right now has no real benefit to me. I upgrade my phone yearly.

Went for 5g thinking ahead for when u do go to upgrade.. 5g phones will hold their value better than 4g in a year or two. I tend to keep my phones for 2yrs

A 5G may be worth more because it cost more to get originally. A 4G Note 10+ will still hold a decent value. I just think about when 4G was released and don't have high hopes for it being ready at all for next year enough to worry about it. Buying 5G phone now is basically being a beta tester, which is fine for some.

Coming from a Note 9.
Screen is excellent fingerprint on the screen is taking a bit of getting use to, speaker sound is good. LED cover is better on the 9 as it would flash icons for missed calls or message.

Only starting to use it now, was transferring everything over.

Picked up my Note 10+ from Three earlier. Haven't opened it yet as I'm backing up and preparing my Note 9 before I copy over my apps/data. Cant wait!

Was going to wait till I am in Dubai next month and get one there as they are alot cheaper but couldnt wait so went into store and asked them if I could have a look at box of one.

They are all dual sim unlocked (10+) so just bought it.

I remember when this used to be important, and some manufacturers had a quick boot mode. Then it went back to nobody caring.

Im confused my phone says it can have two sims but the tray only had one slot for a sim?

Has anyone a link to a good screen protector that works? I got ones for the note 9 before and they either fell off after a bit or didn't work right with the curved screen. Then it fell out of my hand when i was carrying stuff and cracked the edge

Didn't have much luck with ones for the missus so either.

My main concern is scratches as I'm pretty careful with the device. I have a good Samsung hard cover for the device and the screen protector it comes with should be enough to protect against scratches.



I've an S10 since April and the included screen protector is is still looking good. Although as I said it's just there to protect the screen from scratches.

I was sick tbh. I never damage any of my devices. I was rushing and had a few things in my hand and it squirmed out

I got a great on for my last watch that was like flexible film. Very slight rubbery touch to it, but havnt found similar for the phone. Normally get a glass screen protector for the phones and tablets, but the curved ones just don't seem great.

On a related note, what cases are people getting? I've gone with an open fronted one for the last few phones, don't like to be flipping a cover off every time I want to use it.

I posted this before:

I've had them for the S9 and S10 and I find them sturdy. The kick stands are useful too.

I am thinking of getting this phone. I will be coming from a Galaxy S8 because the battery life is starting to drop a bit. I'll have the time to go into a shop on Monday to see the phone.

How have people found it so far? I take it Amazon is the way forward here? Are there any deals with the earbuds going?

Beersmith

Got hands on with the plus and wasn't that impressed. The A70 beside it looked as good and the same size. I know the specs aren't the same but i was thinking i dont think this looks good enough for 1k+ price point.

Sounds like you saved yourself a few bob there.

Has anyone any issues with the Note 10 size?


Correct me if I am wrong about any of this.


I have the Galaxy Note 8, which from memory was marketed by Samsung as 6.1". I believe Samsung offered the Note 10 as 6.3" and the Note 10+ as 6.7".


I saw the Note10 in Carphone Warehouse and it is much smaller than the Note 8. Not only that, it seems even smaller than even the Galaxy S10.


Whereas they don't have the Note 10+ in store they assure me that it is (according to their system) the exact same size as the Note 8.


How can a 6.7" phone be the same dimensions as a 6.1" phone, or is any of the above wrong??


I was ready to upgrade from Note 8 to Note 10+ - but that was based on the increased screen size. Can anyone confirm this please??


After 2 years, I am willing to upgrade to a larger phone, but not to a pretense by the manufacturer on specs that (on the basis of the Note 10) do not exist?

You're confusing screen size with phone dimensions. The Note 8 and 9 had bezels at the top and bottom, so a smaller screen on the same dimension phone as the 10+.

For all intents and purposes, the Note 8, 9 and 10+ are the same sized phone, with the Note 10 a bit smaller.

I don't even think the 10 should be called the Note 10. It should be the Note 10e or Note 10 Lite, because it's not a real Note.

Not going for either. Want bigger and high end. Will check out the Fold whenever it comes out.

High end? The fold screen will be plastic to allow it to fold. You wont be able to cover the screen with a protector so how easily will it get scratched? The specs of the Note 10+ (like most current premium devices) are all the same.
There's little to no difference between the two devices aside from the screen:
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9523&idPhone2=9732


And the fold has a 7.3 and the Note 10+ has a 6.8 inch.
And price wise?
Fold: About 1750 EUR
10+ About 1100 EUR

Where does it say it can take two sims? Whats the exact model ? It should has DS in the model number.

If it does then you can put a nano sim in both slots. The second SD card slot also holds nano sim and the tray is cut in way that it can take micro sd or nano sim

On mine one side say Sim 1 , the other MicroSD/Sim 2

Yes, but other people won't confuse it with an A70.

To be fair, surface area of the screen of the fold is much much bigger due to the dimensions.

Yes but who's looking at a note 10+ and not thinking about the specs, the HDR+, the s pen, the camera etc...


Most buy their phones for themselves not for others to see. I back that comment up by the fact that the vast majority of people stuff there's circa 1K euro phone into a 10 euro phone cover. Pius all phones look now like glass slabs.

I could have bought a vertu if I wanted to stand out.

Beersmith

I wasn't saying the note isn't high end. I was saying i wanted high end and a bigger screen that was all. The high end was in reference to the A70 which I wouldn't get because it isn't high end.

The note is certainly going to be crazy expensive. I probably won't buy that either but I might when I get my hands on it and see reviews.

Also i never use a screen protector or cover.

I'll check tomorrow but I'd imaging it should be flush. I've had S7's to S10's and none have been raised. I remember someone on another forum returning one due to the issue.


Have you check to make sure everything is seated correctly?

On mine one side say Sim 1 , the other MicroSD/Sim 2

In Connection settings -> Sim manager, it shows Sim 1 with my sim and Sim 2 no sim card. It also shows this when I put a sim in and gives me settings to use two at the same time. My model came directly from Samsung Ireland, its only an F model and not DS?

EDIT: it does in fact allow a 2nd Sim where the micro sd card slot is and it works with 2 sims. I have a 48 sim and 3 sim installed and it recognizes both.

cookie1977

My sim tray on the 5G is definitely flush.

How durable is the included screen protector likely to be?

Should i just replace it now?
