Specific to India :

Can anyone help me which is best screen protector I can buy from Amazon or Flipkart. along with case. If some one can post pics and experience that would be helpful. thanks in advance for the help and guidance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] discoveranu:
If you want classy case with optimal use of Note 10 plus, go with Samsung official S view case. I am using it, top and bottom are open and gives no protection but case is classy. If u need protection then go with UAG. Ringke is also nice and cheap in comparison with UAG. Don't go for spigen, for Note 10 their products are substandard. For screen protectors search is still going on.

Why The iPhone 11 Pro display DESTROYS the Note 10's..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i10OY9xYyg&feature=youtu.be
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
Do not get deceived by the more brightness on homescreen with ip11, had it for a couple of weeks it's not much of a use in real time usage ,you will automatically end up with less brightness as it will burn your eye balls. Ip11 dosent get brighter with Netflix or prime hdr , even YouTube for that case (as of now) unless you manually push the brightness all the way up.

Samsung much much better on this regard and also for playing your own hdr collections, its a nightmare on ip11 pro

Can anyone notice tthat white color seems like yellowish not pure white..

That problem is with only with my device..

I am from India
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kiran-Kumar:
Thatz coz the dynamic amoled display reduces 42% of blue light which is harmful to your eyes.

If you want more natural looking whites go to SETTINGS > DISPLAY > Screen Mode slide the white balance all the way to the left for more cooler looking whites.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Din-Ace:
That option is only available for vivid setting..

And on the vivid setting some color looks oversaturated like red..

So i dont need to go to the service centre for display?

Can you try it with vivid setting and see if the whites are fine.

If not can you post a picture of the yellowing of your screen.

I just want some info about this device (for development purpose)

- Does ths device have Dual SIM support?

- If yes, can you use as hybrid SIM? I mean 1SIM + 1 SD card ?

If having dual SIM and still unable to use SD card then what is the issue? Tray doesn't fit? or card doesn't recognize?

Anyone got hands on 45 watts charger yet...?? I ordered one from US but got lost in transit.

Thankfully I got it insured. Now claiming the amount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhi117:
Finally got my hands on a replacement charger for Note 10 Plus. But sad part is that Samsung has locked 45 watts charging.

It's PPS + PD 3.0 based & power delivery is compatible with Note 10 Plus (may be with Note 10 too).

Using this charger, handset goes from 0 to 69% in 30 minutes. Have not checked for 100% yet. Will update as soon as I can.

Also I used 100 watts 10 Gbps USB-C cable.

Charger wattage keep jumping off to 30.97 watts now and then but handset push it back to 25 watts.

Also, when screen is turned on with original charger plugged in, wattage drops to 8 watts from 25 watts.

This phenomenon does not happen in this charger, it keeps steady at 25 watts no matter what.

For now I am having peace of mind that if anything goes wrong with original charger & cable, we have something easily available to replace it with. As even 25 watts charger is not available in Indian market.

97%. 3.10 W

98%. 3.05 W

99%. 2.90 W

100% 2.87 W @ 65 minutes

Take Home Points:

1. Samsung has locked maximum charge intake to 35 watts.

2. There is no difference in 30 minutes charge percentage, beyond which 45W charger starts to lag behind in the box 25 watts charger.

3. There is excessive heat generation uptil 25%, if cooling is not maintained, handset will thermal throttle charging leading to more lengthy times.

4. Beyond 85%, 25 watts charger effectively maintains charging at 10 watts which 45 watts charger fails to provide.

5. 45 watts charger maintains the lead only upto 30% beyond which it continues to fall behind 25 watts charging, which is more efficient.

CONCLUSION:

Samsung has clearly failed to implement 45 watts charging for now.

However, 25 watts charging outperforms the competition capable of even higher wattages.

how many note 8 owners planning to upgrade to note 10+ ? what do you feel s10+ or note 10+ ? is better upgrade for 2 year old note 8 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strategist:
Not interested in Note 10 but the 10+ looks interesting. Unfortunately it's way above my budget which is 50k. I purchased the Note 8 last year at a price 45k and I am still very happy with it. I don't know if the 10+ will reach a price of 50-55 after a year in which case I may consider it.

I remember fondly the days when a new flagship like the Galaxy Note 1 cost around 31k on release when I purchased it. Those days are long gone unfortunately. Every year the flagships seem to get more expensive even though mid-priced phones provide better and better value.

Saw note 10+ live in Samsung smart cafe speakers are very good like S10+ phone feels little heavy and screen is full flat like in 1st impression. Other than price everything seems upgrade for those who have note 8 gorgeous screen , stereo loud speakers ,1000mah more battery, gimmick spen integration in camera app. One thing is lack of 90hz screen like in OnePlus 7pro and lack of dual GPS.Aura Glow is really nice to look and is fingerprint magnet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strategist:
Is the Note 10 already there in the Samsung stores? Cool. Will drop by in one on Monday and hopefully they have a model.

I agree the absence of 90hz is disappointing. If there was one feature I could add it would be that. Otherwise I think the 10+ is a solid device and a worth addition to the Note series . I am particularly intrigued by the tof sensor and features like 3d scanning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] $had0w:
I have a Note 9 and would like to point a few insights to the people who are planning to buy a Note 10+ (I am also contemplating because of the below problem).

There is an ongoing issue with Samsung phones and HDR content. When playing HDR videos in Netflix or Amazon Prime, the image dims and shows a yellow tint that hides details in shadows (instead of the other way). You can check by playing Netflix original shows (Stranger Things, Our Planet etc) and also signing up for the 4K plan on Netflix. Similar problem is there in Amazon Prime in shows like Hannah.

The problem is lying with Samsung software and Amoled panels, and for some reason it's much worse in Phones with Exynos chipsets vs Snapdragon ones. Youtube doesn't suffer from the same problem as long as the video isn't low in brightness to begin with. This has been there for months and neither Netflix or Samsung has taken any steps to fix the problem as it plagues Exynos users more compared to Snapdragon users, the version we Indians get.

I'll try to load Netflix in a demo Note 10+ in the coming week and check the problem if the store allows me. But if anyone of you get your hands on a Note 10+ (Exynos), then can you check if the problem persists there as well? This plagues Note and S series both, especially the Exynos versions launched in India.

Also in the above context, if I want to Trade in my Note 9, how much should I expect? Samsung MyGalaxy app is showing a trade-in value of 32k, while I paid 62k for the device about 10 months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strategist:
Checked out the Note 10+ at Croma and it looked like a really solid device. It was of reasonable size in the hand, the screen was gorgeous as expected and the hole punch wasn't too intrusive. Didn't care too much for the shiny back which was heavily smudged but I would put a case anyway. I wanted to check out the 3d scanning feature but I couldn't find it in the camera app.

Spoke to 2 Samsung Cafes ( one near my home and the other next to my office ). As per them, very poor customer response and bookings of Note 10 and the plus version seems to be fairing just slightly better.

All the better if the response is poor. Soon they will be start giving better offers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
I have a Note 9. Where are you seeing the trade in value for Note 9 in the My Galaxy app? In the Samsung Upgrade section of the app, I see only exchange offers for S10/ S10+ and A80. No mention of Note 9.

I checked out the Note 10+ at a nearby Samsung Cafe, and a few things that pissed me off were:

- Removal of iris scanner. I do use it regularly. And I don't believe face unlock is equally secure.

- Removal of heart rate sensor. Again, I use it regularly.

- That punch hole camera mars a beautiful screen. Guess you will get used to it eventually.

- No support for Gear VR, I have bought a few apps and games and use Gear VR regularly.

- Notification LED is gone.

- The Cafe quoted trade in value of 30k for my Note 9. I think that is too low.

- The pre-booking offer on the watch is a joke. It is not even the latest watch released by Samsung.

If the Note 10+ sales are underwhelming (which I am pretty sure will be the case), I think there will be better offers down the road. Might as well wait for those.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

I too have experienced this problem on my Note 9. After reading through various forums, one workaround for Netflix was to first download the video and then watch it. Then HDR seems to work properly. However, if you stream the same video without downloading it first, it all goes darkish! Not sure if this a problem with Netflix or with Samsung phones.

I am on a 100Mbps Jio Gigafiber connection, so this mysterious loss of HDR is not because of a slow data connection.

It takes upto 90 days for cashback to be credited. So you will be paying full price now. If you are upgrading, things work a bit differently.

The nearby Samsung Cafe owner has worked this out (he did something similar last year when I upgraded from Note 8 to 9):

- Buy my Note 9 for 30k.

- Adjust 15k against the 80k price of the Note 10+ and give me the remaining 15k as cash.

- Swipe my HDFC card for 65k.

- 6k cashback will happen in 90 days.

Yes, the Cafe Manger told me that Samsung has asked them to commit 31st August as delivery date for 512 GB Note 10 plus, but then he said that the availability at Cafes would depend on the number of bookings and as per them, as the bookings seem quite low, can expect delivery around 27th .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
Curious about this additional 3.99k discount. Is this something you are being offered only because you opted for the more expensive 512GB version? Or because you know the Samsung Cafe owner well?

The Samsung Cafe near my house is not offering anything more than the HDFC cashback.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
I know the owner through a mutual friend and as i have booked in a small town, it may not have many prospective customers for a 90k mobile.

The cost to the Dealer/Cafes is a little less than 83K for the 512 GB version, so bargain hard for some discounts.

The downside is that my delivery might get delayed by a day or 2, because of it being a small town.
