OK, so I am just over a week into getting my note 10+ and loving it. Much of that is also Android improvements since my rooted and ecently static Note 9.
I was urturbed at first at not having a power button on the right. The Note 8 Bixby button that you had to force to do what you wanted deserved the scorn it got and they have answered correctly. If you have a multi finction Action button then why not make that turn it on when it is the only function it can serve? Why not default long press to the shutdown menu?
Basically I very quickly got to grips with the button change as a sensible and ergonomic design change.
Being right handed it is also on the correct side to press with the thumb I hold the phone with... And the S Pen on the correct side for me to withdraw with the hand I will use it with.
I have seen the supposed models of the Note 20 where the butons all move to the right and the S Pen moves to the left.
Surely that cannot be correct.
For a right handed person to then withdraw the S Pen while holding the phone they would then have to move their right hand over or under their left wrist then twist it up or down to extract the pen. I've experimented. It's not comfortable and I feel for the left handed folks with current Notes.
