I could be wrong, but I think this has come up before.

Yeah usually they do that in certain region , yet to be in the US

It's more Asia I think, don't see any in Europe.

I see that you have updated your review with some real world battery results. How does it compare to the S10+?

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.

Yes, I agree it's a good method if you're doing those other things. But if you just want to take a screenshot, pressing the buttons takes less than one second.

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.

This is the main thing that has me seriously considering the switch to the Pixel 4. It's also frustrating that, as you point out, reviewers rarely if ever address this. Seems phone reviewers must not have kids (or dogs).

The problem is, those are very unique situations. Not that they don't happen often, but they are hard to accurately and consistently reproduce for reviews. There are literally 1000s of variables that go into an indoor moving image. They are extremely hard to do well. They sound basic, but they are quite a challenge.

I imagine if you take enough indoor shots of kids and/or dogs, you can get a decent idea of which handles them better. YankInDaSouth is certainly not the first person on here I've seen suggest Pixels handles such shots better than Samsungs.

This is something that I will be testing heavily when I first get my Note 10+ ... It led me to return the Note 9 and S10+.

I love what Galaxy devices have to offer, and admit they have a lot more features to offer than Pixel devices. But my philosophy is this - the pictures I take with a device will be around a lot longer than the device I took it with. So, if picture quality is not what I like, I will not settle regardless of what ever else that device is capable of doing.

I'll be on the lookout for your feedback. Maybe it'll make a good thread? Or part of a more general camera discussion thread more likely.

Phone should be here tomorrow and I will certainly be sure to post some comparison pics.

I am not arguing that point... I am just saying that this is why the reviewers don't review that aspect.

I'm pointing out they certainly could (and should IMO) review that aspect regardless of there being more variables. With a number of people use their phones to take pictures of their kids/animals, it would make sense to review such a feature.

Quick question about the included AKG USB-C headphones (acting as antenna) for the NextRadio app. Are you able to pick up local FM (not streaming) using the included headphones and that app? I'm assuming FM chip still embedded though haven't seen that validated anywhere.

 

[photogwilly]

I guess all Samsung can do is go up at this point in regards to haptics. That's one thing I always dislike about my Android phones. They don't hold a candle to iPhone with their Taptic Engine.

Been thinking about this ever sense you brought it up and now that we've had our phones for a few days, I agree. These are vastly improved. I love the feel.

When you share photos thru NFC where do the go? I took about 60 pics this morning with my N10+ and shared them with my wife through NFC and I can't see where the pics are at on her phone.

 

[KruseLudsMobile]

please do a battery test and charging test from 100-0 and 0-100 with the Note 10+ vs Note 9 and other phones if possible such as S10+, S10 5G. Post it on youtube too if possible.

Such an easy test is do difficult to get from the media.

And do a test like this one that I did!

 

[KruseLudsMobile]

Curious if it still has FM radio capability. Previous Samsungs have it (including the S10's) but these new Notes have no headphone jack.

I have a pre-ordered black Note 10+ 512GB 5G unit. I used NetRadio on my note 8 with no issue - using the radio circuitry in the phone. However, NetRadio cannot find the AM/FM circuitry in my new Note 10+...

 

[KruseLudsMobile]

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 !
