S10/S10plus vs Note 10 (signal strength)

[neil74]

Hello all,

I have owned both the S10 and Notes over the last 10 months or so but never had both at the same time.

I have the S10 plus right now and due to mess up on my part have been without broadband at home for a week now (moving house!) and what has really jumped out is how weak the signal is on the S10 plus vs the other phones that I have. It is also weaker on wifi too.

I am on BT Mobile (which uses the EE network) and the coverage at my house is not great and compared to the other 2 phones that I have (P30 Pro and 4 XL) the signal both in terms of visible bars and actual signal is always lower. For example the P30 is the best and shows a consistent signal of -99- to -102db The S10 plus -116-119db. For WiFi, I have a BT Hotspot near my house, it is a little too far to be useful but the P30 and Pixel can both see it and connect to it, the S10 plus cannot even see this network.

My question is for those who have both the Note 10 and S10/10plus how do they compare? Is the Note any better or worse?

Thanks

Neil

My Note 10+ got worse reception than the S10+ at the same location, conditions, etc. AT&T.
