AC editors have the Note 10+ in-hand and we're answering your Q's!

Yep! Holding those two buttons now triggers the power menu but if you quickly hold power + down volume you take a screenshot. I still prefer the palm method, which works really well.

Screen write with the sPen is my preferred screen shot method

does it support RCS like the 10e?

Google's messaging app supports RCS as long as your carrier does.

I second the battery test request. And not like the ridiculous way everyone else does it by running it into the ground with cpu intensive processes for hours on end. Most of the time the phone is on standby. How well does it do on standby. And with widgets running. I have a Max and want to get rid of it but not if the Plus is 25% worse with battery life which has been my experience through the years.

How does the battery life of the Note 10+ compare to the Note 9?

 

[YankInDaSouth]

There's a wide-angle camera, and a telephoto camera. Those are the only places the Note 10+ is better than the Pixel 3's camera experience. The Pixel 3 still beats it in the main camera and selfie department.

As a current Pixel 3 user, this concerns me

I preordered the Unlocked version through Samsung and I have AT&T, will it still be supported or is it only for carrier branded phones?

Both parties need to have RCS and I have a unlocked pixel on tmo and it works when the other party has the same. It will take a few more years before all carriers use this protocol.

I ask if it's carrier branded only because on this [URL="https://forums.androidcentral.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kqzyfj.com%2Fclick-7301867-13650413%3Fsid%3DUUacUvbUpU6607238%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.att.com%252Fglobal-search%252Fsearch%253FcatField%253DShop%2526group%253Dfalse%2526q%253Dadvanced%252Bmessaging%252522&token=J3-ApMYF]list[/URL], it shows that my GS9+ is supported, but I have an unlocked (through Samsung) that doesn't allow Android Messages advanced features (even when I type to other samsung users)

It shouldn't. The cameras on most high in flagships have gotten so good that it's not that big of a drop off.

 

[arunma]

Daniel, quick question about the included AKG USB-C headphones. Is it true that they feature active noise canceling? If so, how does it compare to the AKG NC60?

 

[dario12v]

Has the FPS improved from the S10+

Yeah fps 2.0 I heard a YouTuber call it that today , they say it's twice as fast , is it true?

 

[dario12v]

And please find a late model 45 watt charger if you don't have the Samsung one and do a charging test , a lot of us are waiting for that !

What about indoors (or outoors for that matter) of moving subjects like kids, pets, etc.? All reviews and camera comparisons videos/articles seem to always use stationary subjects when shooting pics. This is where I've personally seen the biggest difference between Samsung's latest phones (Note 9 and S10+) and the Pixel. Samsung phones have blur and often focus on stationary items in the background or foreground whereas with Pixel simply pointing and shooting in almost any scenario yeilds excellent results 99.9% of the times.

How do you take a screenshot? Still Power/Bixby + down volume? I assume hand gesture wave is still there as well.

Pull out the S-pen and click screen write. Done.

That's an awkward and time-consuming method, unless you need to write something on the screen. I haven't received my phone yet, but according to the user manual, power+volume-down still works, as does the palm-swipe gesture, if enabled. There's also a screen-recorder feature.

I think the noise cancelling AKG headphones were not included from what I can see, they are soon to be released though but at a cost as usual!

It's not awkward and time consuming, it's been my preferred way of taking screen shots since the note 3. It's quick, easy, and you can share all or just part of the screen in a quick message without saving the image.

I just tested it; took a screen shot and sent it via text in less than 4 seconds.

I’ve seen in a couple unboxing videos that there is a clear, rubber case included in the box, but on other videos they don’t show it. Does it come with one?

I think ones outside the US do - not inside the US.
