Thinking of moving from pixel 2 XL after the disappointment of the 4 XL. Considering either the S10 plus or Note 10. I've looked at the specs side by side, but can't decide.
Any advice would be appreciated..
I've been weighing the same decision, and I bought one of each on Swappa. As of today, the Note is going back up for sale,
probably. I can't justify the price difference, and I'm trying to. That said, I don't think the regular note 10 deserves all the hate it gets at all.
I'll say this: The Note
feels better. The haptics are really solid. That said, I never thought Galaxy haptics were bad. The Note is just much more solid and precise. The size is perfect for me. The S10 has better corners, but the Note feels more solid.
Camera is a bit better on the Note. The s10 is set to get the update to bring the Note 10 features. I haven't gotten that yet. Even with that, I have to look to find the difference, and I honestly wouldn't really notice if i didn't have them side by side, which almost no one does..
I wanted to keep the note for 25w charging. Then i remembered that it doesn't really matter. I only have one 25w charger right now. All of my other ones are Adaptive fast chargers I've collected over the years. This means that unless I was at my one 25w charger, I wouldn't really reap the benefits anyway.
I have to admit that the screen on the Note 10 looks better to me side by side against the S10. I have the S10 on WQHD+ and it still looks like the Note has better white balance, clarity, brightness and legibility. I have had instances where I wished video was a tad clearer, but when I watch the same video on the S10, i see that the fault is the video, not the screen.
Battery life is comparable in my use, with a slight advantage to the Note. Face unlock and the FPS us a slight improvement as well.
The thing it really comes down to is the $200 price difference I have between the 2, being that I got a helluva deal on the S10. While I think the Note is a better device, with my sparse s-pen use, I don't think its a $200 disparity, YMMV
