Note 10 or Note 10 plus

I ended up ordering the Note 10 in the Skittles color last night; I had "reserved" a phone before the announcement. I would have liked the Blue but I'll have to settle for the Blue leather case (that I got using the instant credit).

I seriously thought about the Plus but didn't want to pay the extra $150 -- I can't see myself needing more than 256GB storage over the next two years (if I even keep the phone that long), so the SD card doesn't mean much; 8GB of RAM is plenty for what I do (most phones still have no more than 4GB). The larger battery would have been nice but I don't have to have it, chances are the smaller battery will still last a full day for me; and I'd likely keep the Plus in the "default 1080P" mode to save battery -- so not even that much difference in the screen. Beyond that, the Note 10+ is tall enough that it seems like it would not fit comfortably in my pants pocket, instead it looks like the top would stick out. So, I decides to save the extra money, the regular Note should be great for me.

I ordered the same one. I had the s10e with the same screen resolution and only a 3100 mah battery and I would consistently get 5vto 6 hours of screen time. I realize the regular Note 10 is missing an sd card and lacks the higher screen resolution but I feel like it will be a really good phone.
 
I am disappointed, pre-announcement I was interested in the standard 10 for the size, good sized screen and some middle ground between the S10 and 10+ also as a UK user the chip upgrade is attractive as we got properly short-changed this side of the pond.

I feel a little let down though, I do not understand why they have stripped the features from the smaller one it is not like Samsung and the small price difference makes the standard 10 a poor choice IMO. If they had made the price difference larger it may have been more interesting.

Lastly no ceramic option is a shame. Love my ceramic S10+. The processor bump has me curious but no sale for me and probably the pixel 4.

YMMV
 
Both phone are expensive but if opt i would go for the small note 10 because of the huge size on the 10+
 
pre ordered Note 10 plus Aura Glow 256gb 80k here in india expensive but 256gb with 12gb ram is krazy...who knew smart phones would come with 12gb of ram...can keep Note 10 plus easily for 2 years...used Note 9 nearly for a year
 
The battery life will likely be significantly better on the larger phone. I think it was a mistake to make it that big but I hate phones that can’t do a full day.
 
Tried ordering Note 10+ Tmobile Aura glow but somehow it would only allow $300 trade in for my Note 9. Only if I chose unlocked I was able to get $600 for note 9 trade in. Anyone else? Anyway, had to go with unlocked version.

You have to get the unlocked to get the $600
 
Lol I tried to get my husband to get the note10+ but he said na he just wanted the regular. He don't care what phone it is as long as he can text and call lol. Have you decided yet?

I'm leaning towards getting the black 256gb Note 10+. I'm so used to Google phones that I'm kind of hesitant. But I don't like the apple like direction they're going so I guess it's time to jump ship. Plus, one of my main things for my next phone is a huge screen! And the Note has it. Lol
