Ditching the curved screen?! Hooray...

I wouldn't count on it yet. Still lots of speculation and guessing.

Personally I am a note updater ... the note is almost a more refined version of the S series devices. and I get to utilize the SPEN which I do use frequently... and the battery is usually bigger. my vote.. note 10 plus.

We are now into Feb 2022. I am contemplating on whether or not I should buy a note 10 now at $400 brand new. I currently have the s9 plus which is now beginning to act funky. If I were to buy the note 10 today, how many years will it acceptably serve its purpose? If it will still do its job up until 2025 then I feel it is worth the purchase which would be roughly 3 years from today. Im just trying not to spend an arm and a leg for the S20/21 pluses of the world. Your thoughts?

Just got mine from Amazon Renewed for $415. It's practically new, and I have 90 days to make sure it runs like it's supposed to.

Pros:
256g storage. STANDARD.
12g of RAM. STANDARD.
WQHD screen is beautiful.
Snapdragon 855 is still plenty fast

Cons:
-Battery might not last whole day.
-Camera has been severely gimped, at least from what I remember in terms of standard options from Samsung.
-camera is also TERRIBLE when you live in a house that has natural light and want to take pictures of things that aren't statues
-60hz refresh rate feels dated.
-Curved screen means you have to shell out for actual screen protectors instead of cheapy ones...unless you like the look of that cutout for the fingerprint scanner
-no 5G (unless you get that version)
-older wifi and Bluetooth

I personally got it because it can emulate anything from NES-PS2, AND I can keep my ROMs on a micro SD instead of eating up my internal storage. I've given up on the camera, as my Pixel 3 and 6 are all I need.

In terms of a daily driver, it feels like it has everything you could need...except the amenities it provides are 3 years old, you know what I mean? Like being able to fly private, but it's a G2 instead of a G5, equipped with a Mr Coffee instead of a Keurig.
