Samsung Galaxy Note 10

So I spoke with Samsung again and apparently this delay is all because the Note 10/10+ exceeded pre-order expectations in Canada. I was told this is a supply issue and their working on it. The CSR said she thinks I should be in the next batch of shipments. Apparently the only people that got their pre-order were first day pre-order customers, and some second day orders. These are strictly Samsung website pre-orders. The wait continues....

Well Apple apply to $1 to £1 conversion. I don’t even need to wait until prices are announced in the UK. Once the US pricing goes up I just need to put a £ sign in front.
 
I ordered the 10+ specifically for the stylus, screen, & battery features so the improved camera/image processing is icing on the cake! I really liked the size of the smaller Note 10 but wanted that higher resolution screen and larger battery. I am interested to find out how the smaller Note’s battery life compares.

Good choice! ;)

I gathered as much.. I ordered a case as soon as I ordered the phone anyway.. would have been nice to have one in the box.. oh well..

The UK never get much in terms of incentives for the Note line anyway.. I guess we are too loyal.. hehe!

The only comfort I have is I got 20% off the RRP from Very for both the Note 10 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 (the free preorder duo charger gift for that will come in handy)!

It’s here! Oddly enough the Samsung rugged case arrived in a box labeled LED Back Cover and is clearly the box for the case that looks like it has stars on it. The LED Wallet cover case was in the right box. The instruction sheet for the rugged case is the correct one. ???:confused:???? Go figure.

I want to set it up but I’m so tired. I fell asleep in a chair by the front door while trying to watch the blind camera comparison video.

The phone is gorgeous. I love the aura glow after all. But I do think it could be a huge distraction when I’m trying to take pictures and videos of the family. It could even hit them in the eyes with glare from the sun. So I’m glad I have a bunch of nice looking Samsung cases coming to me even beyond the clear case I got from Amazon and these two that arrived from Samsung.

The LED wallet case is a gorgeous deep blue. Since my S Pen is also deep blue I’ll be able to pretend I got the Aura Blue phone when the mood strikes me. :D

Ugh I got 4 hours sleep so I’m here zzz-ing out in front of my new treasures. :rolleyes:

The Fed Ex guy was super nice. He was befuddled because he said the boxes are the same size from the same place but one needs a signature and the other doesn’t. I explained one is a phone and one is a case. This dude was the most professional of the Fed Ex delivery dudes I’ve met so far. I am very surprised to see him this early.

The box this time didn’t look like it had been used as a soccer ball. Everything inside was intact. I think in my last post about my S10+ I said it had arrived in a bubble envelope. I don’t know what I was thinking. No all my phones have arrived in boxes. I’ve got bubble wrap for brains, though. :rolleyes:

I’m trying to figure out if I’ve got enough time to get the phone started before I have to leave for school. Sigh. I think I’d better get to the laundry and work on the phone later. :(

Catch you all later!

After using the Note 10+ for the weekend...here are a couple quick thoughts


Best display ever on a smartphone. I have my brightness set manually to around 40% which is plenty bright for me.
I am using face unlock and i am really liking it.

Love the S-Pen as a camera remote control!
I like the Samsung Music app...a lot. The sound on the N10 is really nice too.
I wish all phones had AOD.....love being able to customize AOD on the N10


I wish the N10 had the same kind of raise to wake and double tap ability as my Xs Max. I can still double tap...but it is not quite as good and the Max.
Wish all phones hard a mute button like the iPhone and OnePlus phones.
Wish there was an flat display option Note 10

Go to settings, advanced settings, motions and gestures and you can set double tap to wake and rise to wake.

One thing I can't stand about the iPhone mute switch though is that sometimes audio from videos are dependent on it. For Samsung phones, I just put my ringer switch as one of the top 6 controls on Quick Settings Panel so I can quickly swipe down and change it if needed. But it is nice being able to mute your ringer on Android and not suddenly have to click a switch when a video starts playing and you have no sound. IMO, that's still one of the annoying things on iOS that I can't believe they haven't tweaked.

Oh! And curious, now that you’ve had a weekend with it, whatcha feeling in regards to the Note vs a Pixel?

Just do yourself a favour and don't buy it from John Lewis. Coz if a fault develops... :rolleyes:

What's wrong with JL? We've had faults develop in stuff we've had and they've been fine. They even let me swap my partners S10+ for the white one (when we got the black originally) without asking too many questions.

I have bit the bullet on the 10+, got a Spigen case and 2 headphone dongles for it, hopefully that'll do me.

Any idea when we can buy another 25w charger on it's own?

See...I'm torn now......
I want to keep the Note 10
I want to get the Pixel 4
I want to get the iPhone 11

But my wallet says pick one :-(

I haven't decided yet if I am going to keep the Note 10+
My plan is too wait and see what the Pixel 4 XL brings then decide which Android phone to keep.

Haha welcome to the fall right? I've definitely decided that I'm done with iPhones for a while. I've just really grown tired of iOS and how quirky some things have gotten. Where the Note makes a bit more sense for my needs is that they have a pretty good ecosystem with the watch, the buds, and unbelievable trade in deals. It's kind of built more towards keeping someone long term.

I love Pixels though, just wish they were in a more mature phase with their entire ecosystem and I really don't want to try to use their WearOS or whatever it's called.

Couldn't be further from my experience with them and I'll never buy a thing from them ever again.

Guess it depends on the level of moron you get at each store.

I'm in the same boat but it will be the Galaxy Watch Active 2 (GWA2) that will decide which phone I eventually end up with..

If GWA2 is pants then I will go back to Apple Watch 5 and iPhone 11 set up..

Pixel 4 is just a wild card.. it all depends on what Google release.. hehe! I may even have to give up the smartwatch this year if the Pixel 4 is that good..
