Who is planning to trade in for the Note 10?

[j_hansen]

there was only 150 and 300 offered for the Note 8 and Note 9 here so just Note 10 bought straight out instead, not letting them go for that price, I'll sell off the Note 8 but the 8gb/512gb dual sim Note 9 is hard to let go considering I only paid 607 quid for it brand new a few weeks ago

I keep my phone in my left pants pocket, upside down, screen facing inward. When I reach for the phone, my left thumb can press the sensor before the phone even exits my pocket.

When I want to use the phone without removing it from its charging stand, it's similarly quick to use the fingerprint sensor. When I'm already holding the phone, I can use the thumb of my other hand, also quick and easy.

I keep mine in a holster or in my pants facing outward to avoid accidental capacitive touches. I take it out and it is usually unlocked just by picking it up.

For me, I can think of one very specific, but uncommon, situation where a front fps would be best. That is when I have managed to let my phone lock while in the car dock

What features are removed in 10plus?

Don't think that he meant the 10+ specifically. Though features that have been removed in the entire S10 series are why I wouldn't buy anything Samsung has released this year

To me the 10plus IS the Note 10. The smaller one is just a cheaper alternative. Note light.

If I had a phone to trade in to get it down to $600 or so, it would be a no brainer. But, I don't. So, I can't. Sticking with Note9 for foreseeable future. I didn't get excited over any of the new features, as few as there were. I want physical camera sensor upgrades, not smoke and mirror upgrades.
Enough with the tricks. Just replace the main sensor already.

I'm confused. If you have a Note 9, you have a trade in worth $600. That gets the price (before tax) down below $600 for the N10 or N10+.

I found this video on a Note 9 vs Note 10+. It shows the phones side by side with not much difference in size, just screen display. Also a few other items and specs. I'll be upgrading because I can and want to. Not sure about preordering yet since my 9 isn't paid off and I'll just trade up. My phone is my major purchase. I don't have cable or internet at home and still a small 24" TV (crochet or play with my phone while I watch) and my laptops have been inexpensive ones.

I'm trading my S10e for the Note 10 since it isn't much larger. At least I will try it a few days to decide if I want to keep it or not.

Excellent video, thank you for posting that. All things considered, I would say it's a decent, if not overwhelming upgrade. I'm going to give it a couple of months and see how it holds up in a long length review and then decide whether to upgrade. I expect it to hold up well, though.

If the Note 10 got the new camera module with 5x zoom, I would be all over it. But Samsung decided to hold that off for the S11 (which is highly disappointing as they could've added it to the Note 10 I read) , so I'm not excited about anything on the Note 10 enough to upgrade my Note 9 512gb version. Guess I'll wait for the S11 or Note 11

Samsung is offering $150 gift. You can choose the galaxy buds and aimething else.

Right now I'm thinking I'll keep my Note 9 another year. Based on the missing headphone jack and the lack of new features to get me excited. I'm too cheap to upgrade to wireless headphones. LOL

 

[kevinpleasants]

The Note 10 Plus has the same footprint as the Note 9. It has a sd card slot. Led can function around the front camera. Use the USB-C jack in place of the 3.5 jack , with a $15 adapter. Put a pair of good USB-C headphones on your Christmas list. (a pair comes with the Note 10s). Or maybe some Galaxy Buds. The Note 10 Plus is a nice and meaningful upgrade regardless of what the reviewrs say because they compare it with the S10 but it should be compared with a Note 9 in regards to upgrade features. IMHO.

I really can't see myself upgrading and I would have done if it was worth it. BUT... No iris scanner, no LED, no SD (unless you want a 10+ which is too big for me and my wardrobe(!)), and no headphone jack is a hell of a sacrifice for a couple of mills less bezel (and a thinner phone... but the N9 is hardly a brick!). Plus a hole in the display, plus a fatter notification bar which takes away the advantage of the thinner bezel in any case. Why on earth would I choose that? Plus I'd have to wait for a new Brodit car charger to come out and they are expensive. (OK I don't need to do that but they are my favourite and the best IMO). Plus the cost of a new Clear View case... No thanks. Lucky I love the N9!

 

[kevinpleasants]

Yes it does.

I think the N10+ has face recognition

 

[kevinpleasants]

Note 10 Plys has sd card slot. Headphones can be used by using a $15 adapter thru the USB-C port.

I plan on staying with my Note 9; no compelling reason to upgrade. My device still works well. Besides I like having a headphone jack and a microSD card slot.

 

[kevinpleasants]

The Note 10 Plus has more several new features compared to my Note 9. 256gb storage, 12GB ram, 4 cameras on read including time of flight camera ., 6.8 screen vs. 6.4..... 3.0 storage, new SPen features, narrower, lighter, .

Underscreen fingerprint scanner, Snapdragon 855 processor vs. Snapdragon 845, Samsung Dex now works using USB-C cable, screen recording, link to Windows, stream games from PC to Note 10 Plus, AI game booster, and more.

Keeping my new note 9 and pre-ordered 2 of the Aura Glow.

Last phone possibly from Sam with a phone jack?
Trading in hers, keeping mine.

 

[Carrie Greicar]

I actually like the smaller Note. I like that I will be able to hold it in my hand better and I can still have an s-pen

Correction...

Still at BB playing with them and now playing with the Regular S10s...

The only time I'd consider the smaller Note 10 is if I was considering the S10+... Yeah... You lose QHD again with the Note and headphone jack but... But.. and... Uh...

Hmm... Now that I said it,... maybe I'd get a heavily discounted S10+ over the smaller Note 10. And I definitely wouldn't let go of a Note 9 for it. Lol.

What is the purpose of the smaller Note??

 

[nuangel2]

Me I am trading my note 9 for unlocked note 10 plus

From the specs, I don't see much difference, especially if you're using a Note 9 right now.
The dimensions aren't that much different.
N10 : 5.94 x 2.83 x 0.31
10+ : 6.39 x 3.04 x 0.31
N 9 : 6.37 x 3.01 x 0.35

But some do like smaller phones. I suggested to a manager to get a bigger phone. He had an iPhone Max. Went back to a small iPhone. Said he'll go to a flip when he retires in a few years.
