All phones with good cpu/gpu get hot when gaming for long time.

There is not any thing wrong with that.

Exynos phones get very hot ingame, cpu temp can go up to 70c.

If your note 10 don't get warm after 1h asphalt 8 there is something wrong with it like low fps and or trottle.

Batteri temp in heavy game around 40c

Cpu temp in heavy game (Exynos chip) 60c-70c.

Your phone will be warm..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Talking about unwarranted running hot. dah.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] denism81:
The hottest my phone has reached playing games was 45°c. But it mostly sits at 43°c when gaming. Is that good?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Too hot

No.

107 F is too hot*. This isn't a desktop cpu; running an LI battery this hot will greatly diminish its lifespan.

Some of the CPU heat plus the extra current drain heat the LI bat up. I never let my battery temp exceed 103 F when in use or 100 F during a charge. >85 during charging is better.

Put a damp rag around it or on the backside if in use to cool it if the ambient temp is too high...

*43 C is fine for CPU temp as long as the battery isn't getting baked. F is easier for real world temp measurement.

My cpu and chips are running at about 104 F while the battery is at 95F; the ambient temp is about 90 F, acceptable.

This with a light cpu load with brightness at about 40%

For heavy cpu usage at these temps for more than 10 minutes would drive the battery temp unexceptably high without external cooling.

Monitor the battery temp. Lol, if the phone feels very warm/hot it's damp rag or shutdown time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
F is easier for"real world" ? F are only used in ONE country! Which, by no means equals ALL the world, science, real science uses metric system
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
The Fahrenheit scale is centered around the temperature zone most used by humans.

A 10° F isn't too much a of a change but modest amount.

A 10° C change is huge.

It's ackward to use in real life... suffer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] robalm:
Good thing you don't have the Exynos version.

The idle cpu temp is around 50c with about 20-25c room temp.

What program to you monitor cpu and chips with?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
122 F is really hot for a cell phone... a very expensive hand warmer. When a phone feels hot; it's already too hot. This will greatly shorten LI life especially if above a 90% charge.

Current drain* at idle with 50% brightness level should be below 220 ma. Typical idle current on this one averages at 140-200 ma.

If it's running >400 ma, something's running in the background sucking the life out of it.

I use different temp apps. Been playing with the Gitlab one.

It's 26.6C (80 F) ambient temp here and the CPU is averaging about 35.5 C (96 F) as I'm using the Note.

Battery temp is the only one I need to really watch.

I monitor that and battery current drain.

*AT&T variat, not rooted but heavily optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] robalm:
exynos is running hot, there is not mutch you can do.

Here is one example

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LfZUNL5hyVw

If you pause the video when he start antutu you can se the cpu temp of the s20 ultra (about 56c without any massive load).

My old s8 with exynos got warm and it worked just fine for 2 years, sure i lost a few % on the batteri.

After 2 years just get a new batteri and enjoy.

I know snappdragon is running mutch cooler, but make sure you get a app that show the right temp. 35c in a 26.6C room sounds like idle temp at best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Meh... I'm liking my Snapdragon a little more.

Samsung design engineers are like a box of rabid gerbils...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] robalm:
Snappdragon 855 is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] cfds:
For you Fahrenheit may sound "logical" as you grew up with it. For us - the rest of the world - we grew up with Celsius. We don't need a scale "centered around a temp zone used by humans", we know what effect a 10°C drop in temperature has on us...nothing ackward about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Yes well...

The west is the best.

Get here and we'll do the rest JM

I rest my case...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
What do you mean, exactly with"west" ?

There is just one country using that retrograde Farenheit scale, and despite that, scientist there use metric
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Unlike the metric system of temperature measurement it is uniquely centered in a range where most living occurs... 96.8° is a better way to index human body temp. One degree matters.

It's Jim Morrison's quote... America, to find yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] cfds:
I think we should leave it, his mind is limited to "west" only and he has not learned to see beyond that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Update...

Trying out this temp apk:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novelmatrix.temperaturemonitor

It will display in the corner of the screen real time. Low resource usage. Some ads on set up but liking it so far.

At 96° ambient I'm seeing the CPU, GPU typically going between 102-118 F depending on usage.

Browsing it's running between 100-102 F

Internet vid jumps to about 114 F at this ambient temp.

Obviously higher for cpu/gpu intense apks, haven't benchmark it yet with this running.

The battery is at 96.8 F and typically runs cooler.

The heat pipe seem to work well; dissipates heat rapidly from the cpu and helps keep the battery temp down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] robalm:
"Cpu and gpu temp not supported"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
You have needed permission in accessibility enabled?

Works well on my 10+ running on Pie... Android Q may puke on it:(

(Lower left corner)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] robalm:
Yes, all i can see is battery temp.

So you can see cpu and gpu temp?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Use the options on the first tab.

The last image is what first see and need to punch.

Either a bad load or incompatible with your phone if you don't see this.

Punch load at startup to keep it from disappearing from screen.

Works fine for me... on Pie.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'s camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] King-V:
Back cameras - awesome. There's a few spots in my garden which I think are a great test case - there's a light above, and a dark shed just to the side, instead of either blowing up the dark shed or the light, it takes the picture pretty much the way my eyes see it.

Front camera - eh... it could be way better. It's not terrible, but to my eyes, the selfie camera ain't much different from my old S6. Of course there's a major difference when there's good light, but in low light tho, not so much. Hope this can be made better with an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Try again front cam with Gcam...

Front cam is very good (lens, hardware), but stock software is a pita for front cam which is solved with gcam, especially in low light.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] King-V:
Every gcam I'm trying gives me force close. Got any working apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I tried a working gcam, but found it to be really slow, I couldn't stand it, uninstalled, is not worth all the hassle in having other 3 separate cam apps, the version That finally worked for me, was comprised by 3 gcam apps!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
tryed zgcam?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
You tried a very old version...

It is fast and works well now and only 1 app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Subham jyoti:
Can you please share link of the gcam? :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] cyanotrix:
Photo quality is one of the worst I've seen on a smartphone. I'm way too disappointed, honestly pixel 2 camera beats the crap out of note 10 plus camera. Is it too much to ask for a good bokeh photo? I mean everyone is doing it great WITHOUT the TOF sensor. Does it even work on the phone? I felt like crying when I took my first image on the phone. One would expect the live focus would be matured by now but cheap Chinese phones give you better live focus effects. The wide angle is completely unusable, distorted (after enabling the correction) and grainy. The photo quality is garbage during all lighting conditions except daylight and outdoors. How did Samsung have the audacity to market it as a content creators phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rialsi6:
I don’t have any of the problems that you mentioned. After your first photo, instead of crying you should have returned it immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] deanesn:
I absolutely agree. My s10+ that I traded was a beast at night photos. Now my Note 10+ looks like pictures were taken from a laptop cam. So grainy and blurry at night or even during the day unless it's outside in a very nicely light place. Someone was saying some cases might cause this issue but I tried it without a case and no difference. Clearing cache and storage with rebooting does not help either. Mine is unlocked and the pictures were bad when i was on the U1 firmware and now I am t-mobile firmware and no difference. I am thinking about calling Samsung and asking for replacement. It seems this issue has been happening ever since the s8. A lot of complaints with the Note 9 too.

I feel regret for trading in my perfect s10+ :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] protech_v2:
I'm really not sure whether it's a faulty device or just very poor camera quality, but although sharp, my photos in ideal conditions come out lifeless and washed out enough that multiple people commented on it...And that's coming from OP6T, so not exactly huge expectations...I came here to see if it's the same for everyone, or if it's something to return the device for or if there's a software fix...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] vodovodo:
ok either i have another device and got scammed with note 10 +sticker on the box or something really wrong with your devices guys !!!

the photo and video quality is superb on this phone. the only area were my previous p30 pro shines over it is the night time and still very decent performer !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] cyanotrix:
Not a faulty hardware and had pre booked so cannot return. It's pure garbage that's all.

Just the way it is. All the vloggers either have been bought off or they know jack**** about vlogging camera quality. They don't even know what they're doing half the time and the other half they just copy from each other. It could easily be fixed by good software.

I really do not know what device are the both complainers talking about, the camera is excelent, chinese cheap phones are by no means better than note's camera, so, only god knows what are you holding in your hands, or how you are using it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] xile6:
Takes great photos to me.

Most seem to havd hdr on. So moving shortly after taking a photo gives a blured photo. But other then that.

Great photos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] RevoWution:
Coming from a Pixel 3 XL (and previously a 2 XL), the overall image quality is a noticeable step down for me (Note10+ photos seem granier, blurrier, smudgier, etc.), but the versatility of the Note10+'s cameras are unmatched. The versatility alone is enough for me to sacrifice some image quality.

Video is a no contest. The Note10+ video capabilities puts the 3 XL to shame. However, Live Focus Video is atrocious and needs a lot of improvement.

Live Focus for portrait photos is mediocre at best. It softens way too much at the higher blur levels, to the point where the subject and background turn out smudgy and seem to 'melt' into one. Granted, I have taken a handful of good Live Focus photos, but the 3 XL's Portrait Mode is hands-down superior imho.

I have also noticed the shutter speed to be slightly slower on the Note10+ compared to the 3 XL, as I seem to capture more blurry shots of my 3yo son with the Note10+.

Quick question for everyone. Do you guys have HDR always enabled? I do, so I'm wondering if this is contributing to the slower shutter speed/lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Blaalad12:
Some of you guys must have clones because the camera on my Note 10 plus is superb! Plenty of comparison videos on youtube also where it gets praise! I cant say i see a big difference between this and the s10+ but theres no way in hell that its worse! You guys either got scammed or your devices are faulty!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] marko68:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Agree... I keep doing more and more tests and honestly i am even impressed by photos in the dark with the normal (wide angle) lens..

However there is some stuff not working well, like portrait mode in the dark, too grainy, probably due to the apperture. Need to use wide angle lens for dark situations.

I find it amazing to read complaints but none posts examples about it with the settings used.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
Perhaps it has something to do with Qualcomm's processing vs Exynos? It seems Exynos Note 10 people are happy with quality and at least one of the two people in this thread with image quality issue is using Snapdragon Note 10 plus
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] MatroxD:

Then, I feel sorry for you, you have to be the most unluckiest user, or just short of it, sincerely, get a pixel, best camera as many say...and then go and complain in pixel forums, I think it will be a never ending cycle, as of course the pixels will not also be perfect and at some point something will be disapointing, But, everybody is entitled to have an opinion on anything, so...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Could you tell me what your wife thinks about her pixel 2XL ultra-wide angle lens ?

Same question for pixel 4XL fanboys out there.

:angel:

But yes, i also wish photo indoor/low light were more reliable ; it is often a pain to get a great portrait in the evening to not say impossible.

So there is ups and down, people have to choose wisely what they wanna do with their phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mrlugo88:
They don't have one, obviously. But they like mine ?

Indoor is where I particularly wish this phone would do better. Almost every photo is too soft and colors are off. But as I said before, this camera isn't terrible at all. Just wished the software side was given more attention.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Yup... this evening i had a hard time geting good shots of people indoor (lamp lights).

I got tired of it and switched to black and white and been very happy with it.

It is a common problem anyway even on dslr, lack of light, iso noise, slow shutter, small sensors ...

Note10+ auto mode uses low to average ISO, but low shutter speed. Your target moves and the shot is over or shaky, and software over processes it to get something visible but it turns ugly.

If you use pro mode and increase ISO, you might be able to get a shot but it turns to be much noisy ; but you can post-process this especially with RAW.

By the way, does your mom's enjoy pro-mode on her pixel 2 ? :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mrlugo88:
She doesn't but then again her photos do come out better so.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
there is no way that iphone (other than 11 pro) and pixel 2 xl got better picture than note 10+...

It can be 3 things:

1. You don't know what ''proper picture'' looks like

2. Faulty device

3. You're just trolling us
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mrlugo88:
No way? Right. Based on your response it's not worth going back and forth. Thanks for your input though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Exactly, precisely, it is really amusing how the note10+ has stirred so many trolls, just petty annoyances though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mrlugo88:
Trolls?? Because I bought the phone and am keeping it but have minor annoyances about the camera? Wow you Samsung fanboys are wild lol

Hey all, reporting back because I promised I would.

After consulting with [MENTION=8003352]mafy31[/MENTION] via PM I was convinced my Note10+ camera was defective, however unlikely this scenario seemed. Despite having significant doubt that this was actually the case, I went ahead and exchanged my device at Best Buy (on the 14th day, lol) this morning. I got it home, set it back up and immediate went out to test the camera...and holy crap, the difference is night and day. Pictures from the old device were blurry, out of focus, and colors were horrible. The new device takes insanely crisp and beautifully colored photos! I'm still in disbelief that the camera was actually defective. I would urge anyone else that's disappointed with the camera to take it back and exchange it. This clearly isn't a widespread issue otherwise we would have heard about it around the web.

Anyway, big thank you to those that reached out to me via PM, I probably wouldn't have returned this without you guy, lol.

Have you tried the editing feature directly on the Note10+ instead of snapseed ? I think it is great and keeps the original size.

Great one ! Sharp boats.

I use this : Manfrotto MCLAMP Smartphone Holder

It is a smartphone holder and it's cheap. It works with note10+, even though get close to reach the maximum width it is capable of.

Note that you can only put it horizontal in the holder, but there is 2 screws inside it, so you can put if vertical on a tripod as well.

It can also be used as a stand on a table (there is a foldable leg behind it).

The holder feels cheap though, there is better manfrotto holders but they are more expensive, like MANFROTTO MTWISTGRIP...

It exists also with a little tripod, i might go for that one "on the go", because my main tripod is a manfrotto big photo tripod for DSLR and it is not good for travelling anyday ...

This is the tiny tripod with the Manfrotto MCLAMP Smartphone Holder :

This is good one.

I was thinking of buying simillar but then for start I will buy octopus type monopod. It has some cons like height restrictions etc but has advantage of flexibility that I can attach it on almost anything and also its very cheap to start with. I will see how it goes (also how much time I get afterwards) then I am planning to buy Mini drone.

Since I have just started taking interest in photography, will go slow on it.
