I haven't with my Note 10+ yet but did with my Note 9 and iPhone XS Max. They both had extended warranties that explicitely covered accidental damage including water. My Note 9 took some pictures in a pool while my XS Max went into a couple of oceans. I'm sure my Note 10+ will make it into...

I've been pleasantly surprised. Switched from an iPhone XS Max to Note 10+ 5G 3 weeks ago. The camera has been an improvement (especially when using the shot suggestions), videos are super smooth with that setting enabled, the screen is great, and the Galaxy Buds (along with their connectivity...

I jumped on it just because. My phone plan price didn't increase and the 5G version of the Note 10+ was $200 more. I only financed $350 through Verizon (which will be paid off here in another month) so I didn't really care. I'll be in one of the first markets for it by the end of the year. I...

I did the exact same thing. My wife and I participated in the Note 10+ BOGO (actually $950 off the Note 10+) and the BOGO on the Galaxy Watches through Verizon. I love the phone, more than I thought I would and the Google Assistant has been a better overall experience compared to Siri...

It depends. Mine has slowed down considerably after the update to Android 5.0.1 and many other things have also happened with that update (skipping in Bluetooth audio, reduced battery life, apps constantly crashing, the Edge display no longer wakes up, stuttering performance with TouchWiz, the...

Yes, keep it running 4.4.4 for as long as you can. I went ahead with the update and I now hate my phone. It constantly stutters when playing back audio via Bluetooth (these are mp3 files stored on my SD card), I will sometimes not be able to receive a call (it just hangs up) or I won't receive...

My standby battery life has been improved but the phone drains faster when it's actually being used. Before I could get a solid 12 hours of use (that's constantly browsing the web, playing music, taking pictures, etc.) but now it's about 4-5 hours of the same level of use. My phone's battery...

My fiance was with her S5 and now Note 4. But that wasn't until after Verizon pushed out updates to them too. I tried following what people were saying on the PowerAmp discussions (increasing cache size, increasing allowable resources, etc.) but it still skipped like crazy whether we were...

Honestly, at this point, I don't think the Note Edge is worth it. In fact I'm going to pay more just to be done with my Note 4 before my 18 month period is up. The phone was great when it was running Android 4.4.4. It was fluid, smooth, and could easily last into the night with heavy usage...

It depends, what OS is your phone using. You might experience stuttering (particularly with Bluetooth playback) with PowerAmp if you are running Android 5.0.0 or higher (I did on both my S5 on 4.4.4 and 5.0.0 and my Note Edge with 5.0.1). I had all of my mp3 (mostly 320kbps) and mpeg-4 AAC...

That's a downgrade. My S5, before 5.0.0, would last all day but require a recharge around 9:00 PM (after unplugging it at 5:30 AM). Android 5.0.0 meant recharging it at 3:30 PM on my way home from work. My Note Edge would easily last to past midnight if I would let it but Android 5.0.1 means...

But you are assuming that your positive experience is common. We are so far the only people who have voiced our issues, there could very well be more people experiencing both sides. Nobody is trying to start a mass panic. OMG, run to the streets, a smartphone that sold to a very niche...

Your math is off, by a lot. That assumes that 4 people here on the forums are the only ones having issues and that there are tens of thousands of people who browse but haven't said anything because their update went smoothly. There aren't many active members in this sub-forum and for 4 people...

This update went about as smooth as it did for my S5... Which wasn't smooth at all. I upgraded and cleared the cache, I thought that would be enough. Battery life took a complete nosedive lasting only about 10 hours before needing to be plugged it (it was 100% at 5:00 AM and died at 3:00 PM...

I would actually welcome a 5.9" phone, I almost purchased the Nexus 6 because of its 6" display but didn't because it lacked an SD card reader (something that Samsung hopefully keeps with the Note line). For the most part, every phone I have upgraded to has been a minor increase in screen size...
