Anyone going for the Note 10?

[Roy Campos]

Not sure which variant I will be getting but I'm always gonna upgrade to the New Galaxy Note phones. Only skipped one time and that was the Note 5. Didn't like the choice of losing the SD card slot. But have been with the note since the note 2 I believe.

Been on a Note since the Note4 - but the again, only have had 2 Notes the N4 and the N8. Skipped the N9 as my N8 is still great. That said - I am actually thinking of going with the Pixel 4 ... BUT I am keeping my options open. So, the Note10 is NOT a lock for me. ... but I'll miss the SPen ... and the waterproofing ... and ...

Just my 2cents in regards to your comment... the Pixel 4 will be alluring, but you might regret it.
I went from the Note9 to the Pixel 3XL this "gen" as I am kind of a google fanboy...
And I have actually gone BACK to the Note9.

Samsung's software has gotten less painful because of a couple things: There isn't that much good stuff in Android Q that will be annoying to wait for (waiting for the new android versions is usually the most painful thing about samsung) and Samsung's OneUI for Android P really isn't too bad this time around. And some little things that samsung offers in software is nice ("soundassistant" letting you easily switch which device is playing the audio when you are connected via bluetooth is really nice, and per-app volumes, etc)

Getting back onto samsung hardware from the pixel is SO nice. Little things add up. For instance - screen brightness. Pixel 3XL was not very usable outdoors, back onto the Note9 and its a lot better. Battery life is better (due to size alone I think, doubt that samsung's software is helping it) In-hand feel is better (just a tad narrower due to the curved screen edges. Doesn't seem like much, but getting your whole hand around the phone is helpful.

Anyways, I just think that samsung's hardware game is still a tier above what google puts out. Maybe that will change sometime.


Oh and I can't wait for the Note10. Might not be earth shattering but Sprint will let me send this (leased) Note9 back and get on a Note10 lease with no penalty (I'll pay whatever price diff there might be) so why not?
Would be AWESOME to get the rumored 5x zoom but it sounds like they might not do it :-(

Thanks for reminders. Nothing is final for me at this time ... but that's the big news for me, that the Note10 isn't an automatic lock.

And I wish Verizon had some sort of lease with free upgrades...!

I'm still dealing with an S8 Plus with its horrible 4GB RAM. Try playing Pokemon Go with PokeGenie running, listening to Spotify and having a Telegram message come in. It's not pretty!

Two things I need on my next phone: 512GB storage and 12GB RAM - if that's the Note 10, so be it. Granted I'll need to take out a 2nd mortgage, and dodge the better half's barbs about how she needs a new iPhone now, but I'll manage.

Just waiting for it to be announced and preoders go live. I'll be getting the unlocked. Sick of Verizons bloatware.
Just wondering what freebies will Samsung give seeing this is their 10 years on the note???

*9 years. The original note was released in 2011. They skipped the 6.

No, I am not!

Not going to upgrade to the Note 10.
I am happy with the Note 9. Does everything I need and want.

In fact, I still wish I had the Note 4. It died. Note 4 was the best Handset
Samsung ever made. Hands down.

12 GB of RAM isn't going to give much of an advantage over 8 GB. Maybe 3 years from now it may make a difference.

Bought Huawei P30pro, already has everything Note 10 is predicted to have. Have Note 9, put it away after P30pro. Don't miss S pen. P30 pro is my favorite phone. Have had iPhone up to 6splus, then Every pixel, then Note 9. Now p30 pro=true love.
Government of course is ruining that!

I am quite interested in the Note 10 but considering the price of the S10+ I'm probably going to get the S10e. It's getting harder for me to justify the huge price tag on these new phones. A slightly smaller phone would fit a bit better for me as well.

With the latest rumours of up to 100 watt charging things are really looking interesting.
Personally I like the pinhole camera on the front

Yes, I know that. I have read in the past about this being their 10th anniversary.

 

[kirksucks]

Just saw a thing that says there's not going to be a 3.5mm headphone jack.. Is this a deal breaker for anyone?

 

[srgonu]

Yes for me as of now

Don't believe everything you read or hear, and only half of what you see.

 

[dswartze]

I don't think I've ever used the headphone jack on my Note8!

 

[j_hansen]

Headphone jack is no deal breaker to me, if it doesn't have one, there will be an adapter in the box anyway

 

[toenail_flicker]

looking hard at the Note 10 and its impending arrival. I also skipped the Note 9 and still really hate the Note 8 when compared to the Note 7 and my Note 4. Hoping the Note 10 rocks my world.

I'm with you, and you can substitute Sprint for Verizon
