Who is returning and why?

[sqa4life]

You must see improvement in the screen and design? Of course the processor also.

Yes. Very little improvement over the s9+.

 

[NIZMOZ44]

Yes. Very little improvement over the s9+.

The S10 has the following over the S9.

1. Better cameras
2. Ultra wide camera
3. Better screen with the first HDR10.
4. Better design, edge to edge display with no borders.
5. Wireless charging 2.0
6. Reverse wireless charging.
7. More Ram
8. More Storage
9. Ceramic models.
10. Faster processor
11. Faster wifi antennas
12. Bigger Batteries
13. Lighter weight
14. In Screen FPS

On paper, yes. But if you have an s9+ to compare in real life you'll know.

 

[NIZMOZ44]

Dont assume I dont own the s9. I own the s9+ and s10+ and the s10 is much better than the s9.

Yes, but be careful. They’ve been known to ban people from making returns for a year if they return expensive items.

I wouldn't worry about it I've done it a couple times no questions asked.

 

[andrew_ackley]

I have been considering it as seamless unlocking for me anyway requires the use of the un-secure face unlock.

Overall though the feel of that ceramic, the look and that lovely screen are enough for me to keep it. Having said that If Huawei added an AOD to the Mate 20 pro I'd seriously consider returning it for the M20 as I also love that phone.

M20 pro has aod it's just not as good as Samsung's. It's in the settings to enable it.

Two words: Butt dialing. The phone butt dials like crazy from the pocket. If I keep AOD on and "Tap twice to wake" on (both great features), it will do any random thing imaginable in the pocket. LG has had both of these features for years and they have worked flawlessly. Why not Samsung? LG V50 is looking appealing.

LG is dead

You can return all models within 14 days irrespective of it's unlocked or carrier model. They charge restocking fee of $35.

I've returned a phone at Best Buy without a restocking fee.

I waffled until this morning, when I sighed and put my S9+ in FedEx for return.

The S10+ is really not worth an extra $450, at least right now; that's more a testament to the S9+ than anything else. I'm annoyed by the 10+ wonky fingerprint reader, and even face unlock--while it works great--doesn't always trigger for reasons I've yet to figure out.

And the notification volume is WAY too loud.

But, I figure I can deal with these things for now, or even for a year. I'll reserve judgment until Sammy puts out an update or two to resolve some of these things, and I'll simply adapt otherwise.

I fully expect to pay Sammy another $450 next year for the S11+...

Notification volume is adjustable

This is on the best buy receipt of my S10

To only happens to people who do 3 returns in a short time frame

 

[Mike Dee]

You have the update, every carrier and unlocked model got the day one update. You can go and check update again, if it says you are up-to-date then you are good.

Some have not gotten it despite all that

I guess they have changed their policy or maybe that's for carrier models.

As a friend of mine posted earlier that's not bad to try it out for a couple of weeks.

Not here. I absolutely love this phone. So much so that this is the first phone in a looooong time i got insurance on just so I can rock it naked. I'm one that buys all the latest flagships. I've never enjoyed a phone as much as u have with this one. From the software to the build. For me this is one great device.

But I totally see where if you came from a note 9 or s9 it wouldn't seem like much of a upgrade. To each their own. Do what's best for you. We all have our reasons.

This! I haven't been this excited about a phone or loved a phone's looks like this in years. I should have gotten that insurance as well. Pretty sure it's too late now (T-Mobile).

Mine went back. Not a $1k phone. Beta FPS. Speaker worse than 6T. Apps were slower or had errors more often than my 6T. Screen had more blue tint, less contrast and poorer viewing angles than my 6T. Battery worse than 6T. Their "reachable" UI is half baked, open an app from the home screen folder and you are reaching way up to select it. Not a fan of power button placement, yep 6T got it right.

8gb 128 6T = $580 + $50.75 $630.75
8gb 128 10+ = $1,000 + $87.50 $1087.50

I'll keep my $456 and my 6T.

And here I actually replaced my 6T with the S10. I did enjoy the 6T, but man the S10 is on another level for me. Kept the S10 and sold my McLaren 6T.

I wanted to love the S10+ but just didn't.

Well you can't go wrong with that 6T either. Thing is a beast. Just, different I guess. All depends on what things you're looking for and what you value most.

Everyone is different. I wasn't all that impressed with the S9. I like this year's models so far.

Funny. I broke my 6T and got the S10+ to play with until the OnePlus 7 or Huawei P30 pro came out and had it pre-sold to a friend for a couple hundred off. Now I'm not sure... I like this thing. If they get a few camera improvements in an update before mid April I may stick with it.
