used now for two weeks.
Torn.
Preface: After returning the note 9 ended up 150 pound better off. So this has to be weighed against everything.
Hardware. Beautiful, love the twilight colour. Screen great. Bright, vivid.
fingerprint reader. fine, it's just those tech clowns that even consider milliseconds. it's really good.
face unlock has me very impressed.
Camera. Excellent. Night shots. much better than Note 9.
Turbo charger very FAST !!
The rub . . .
software.
This is what annoys me, when I spend this kind of cash on a flagship I don't want to mess with new launchers etc.
I found this to be inadequate. No double tap to lock. no swipe down to bring shade down. no swipe up for app drawer. there's more.
Using Nova for the first time ever. It's making it much better.
notifications are a right mess. because of the notch there isn't much room. it permanently shows Bluetooth NFC (wtf) vowifi and signal. that means no space left!!!
so you never know what you have!
bearing in mind what I said about the launcher that is a bloody pain !
