What's Your Greatest Fear/Concern About The S10?

[MaddMyke]

If I choose the S10+, the larger hole punch bothering me too much. if I choose the S10, regretting not having the bigger screen and battery.

Looks to me like Samsung has checked all the boxes. while I dont think an in screen finger print reader is a must have, if its how Samsung was able to get a bigger battery in there, Im all in. the biggest question, for me, is throwing my lot in with Samsung. It means all their software crap that I have no need for and a guaranteed long delay to get Android Q.

I used to chase the Android updates, even to the point of hacking my phones so I could install ahead of time. I found that years ago the Android updates meant less and less. I tried the various launchers associated with the different versions and kept going back to Nova. So updates mean very little to me. I still install every security update available but since I have never had a security issue with any phone I've owned not sure that is even necessary.

Ive been enjoying the gesture navigation on my Pixel 3 since the beta. Since then, I havent used Nova, which i also used almost exclusively. IMO, Google is where it needs to be from a software perspective and I dont want count on Samsung for that. From the hardware side though, Google is still not close to Samsung or Apple. Battery life too.

Wow @ that pink color

And while I love the S line up, I'd wait for the note line up. I don't use my S-Pen that much but when I do it comes in handy

And to stick to the topic, my greatest fear is that those AR "Memoji" animations are going to still be God awful

I agree. I love the gestures on my P3XL.

One I totally forgot. Reception. My reception from the S8+ to S9+ got slightly worse. Especially inside buildings.

Just hoping it gets better with the S10+.

My biggest fear is caving into buying one. So far so good.

I'm coming from an iPhone. i had a Note 8 which was awesome. My biggest fear is losing Facetime and not having a stylus. I could mitigate the second one by waiting but damn, this S10+ looks simply amazing and i'm probably going to cave and get it. My wife despairs...

I think folks will slowly get a lazy eye, due to the hole's position. This is like the movie The Jerk, all over again! This wine is old, bring me some fresh wine!

My biggest fear is the fingerprint sensor being janky. From what I've seen so far, early impressions are that it isn't great; especially since it was touted that it could be used with wet or oily fingers. Also, I'm iffy on the pill cutout. It looks like an eyesore that ruins an otherwise gorgeous, bright screen.

Next, the reception and call quality. I currently have a Nexus 6P, but I did end up getting a V30 last spring, thinking I'd be set because I loved the quad DAC. Nope, the radios were terrible, and LG's UI is hideous, not to mention their pittance of a theme store, when compared to Samsung.

Lastly, I'm concerned battery life won't live up to the hype of its capacity; especially in standby mode. I've seen an early battery test with the Exynos variant where it came out on top with 7:30 of SOT from simulated "real world use", but since I'm in the US, the SD 855 is it. This would be my first Samsung phone since the S3, which I hated, so the fact that I'm willing to try it again, I have high expectations.

Someone with a 855 already did 11 hours SOT and 18% remaining on their plus.

My biggest concerns are accidental touches and that the camera won't perform as good as I'm hoping.

that it will explode.

Let's all hope that we don't have to go through that again.

Exynos crap performance
Not great low light photography
Not great battery life
Security updates

Security updates

Since the S10 series was released, it has been proven that the phones have decent-good battery lives, low light photography is pretty good (not better than Pixel 3 or P30 Pro but better than iPhone), performance is fast and smooth and it does receive regular security updates (slightly behind Google’s schedule due to optimisation for OneUI).

Should help ease your worries

it is not a note 10+
