ALL of the points you listed (power button, headphone jack, fingerprint scanner) are ALL GARBAGE on the Note10+. Battery life VS my Note9 IS INDEED phenomenal. But the in screen fingerprint scanner is TRASH. It is TOO slow and too small!! The power button location is asinine. Lastly, there is...

There are certainly ppl that fall into both use/need and never used/no idea. Personally, storage expansion is critical to me. Just as ppl have said on board memory is all they need, but if that device is broken your pix, downloads, etc are all lost. Some will go for cloud upload of pix which is...

Indeed Samsung has used the S and A model increasingly to test/demo new tech features. And yes i realize the Note line is NOT the premier model. Not since the Note5 has the Note been specifically better spec wise. And the Note10x isn't impressive anymore. It is simply an S model with Pen tech...

Removing core features, increasing prices AND failing to actually develop innovative product is what just killed the Note line. Buying a Note USED to mean getting a bump, albeit tiny in SoC. You got a better camera and tweaked/improved software experience too. Since Note 7, fans receive also...

The loss of features, increased price (for nothing really tangible) and a Hole in the screen really make the Note 10 unattractive. My Note9 is literally everything I want a Note to be.

Re: Call & Message Continuity The Call & Message Continuity app is on my factory unlocked (USA) Note 9, running Pie. But app doesn't appear in themy "setting > connections" menu. I tried making an activity with Nova launcher, but couldn't find the app. Really want this to work with my Tab S4 &...

If the N9 is an "S9+ PLUS pen & smaller battery then 9+" then NO. Everthing I have seen so far it will be. The Note line today EXISTS as a device to showcase a PEN. Notes launched since N7 don't have the faster SoC, more RAM, bigger battery, better screen, better camera than the S line. You pay...

Don't mistake my disappointment the pen feature is now a $200 upgrade from the S line. I currently own the Note 8. And the S8+ before it and S7E, Note 7, and Note 5, Note 4 and 3 too. So I totally understand the interest of the pen. However, on those older Note models, there was a concrete...

Once Samsung stopped using the faster SoC for the Note and made the battery noticably smaller than the S line, the Note stopped being really compelling. You can get 95% of Note features in the Sx+ model. If Samsung returned to bigger battery, refreshed SoC and Pen, that would renew interest. As...

Sadly, I think the Note and Samsung in general has now reached a required 2 year upgrade cycle.

The last 3 Notes ALL sported the EXACT SoC and SMALLER battery. With the occasional and inconsistent bump in camera or RAM. Nothing about the last 3 Notes were truly superior to the S line.

In the last three years, Samsung has chipped away and finally made the Note line unnecessary. As the newest S9+ sports 6GB RAM and dual cameras PLUS a bigger battery the reasons to pay $200 more for a PEN, A DAMN PEN are pointless. The Note gets you 6 month or more old SoC (as the S series), a...

At this point in bland yearly releases, you need to wait at least 2 years for the bump in specs is noticable.

I had a case on since my 8+ came out of the box. Nothing on the screen. When I put my phone in a pocket (pants, jacket) it is THE ONLY item in that pocket. Simply makes NO sense to force a thunderdome cage match between a $1,000 phone and some keys. And who TF has pockets full of abasive sand...

I checked this morning at 9:14AM EST. It downloaded and installed without incident. I did NOT factory reset. If any issues pop up, I will reset.
