[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes I have two lines. One was a free line from T-Mobile. It will become my daughter's line when she turns 12, but for now, it's my extra line. I use Google Voice, so switching back and forth is no biggie.

How I wound up with two phones: in the past I never bought brand new phones. I bought broke phones on eBay, fixed them, and sold them for a profit. I would save up that money and buy a phone, or just eventually keep one of the phones I fixed. I eventually worked my way up to a S7 Edge. Actually my wife and I both had S7 Edges.

Then when Samsung released the S8+, they had a buy one get one free deal. So I bought four of them. Kept two (one for me, one for my wife), sold the other two, plus my wife's S7 Edge. So our S8 Plues were basically free, and I was able to keep my S7 Edge as a backup phone.

When the Note 8 came out, I didn't immediately upgrade. But about 3 months after it was released, I snagged one off FB Marketplace for $400. Sold my S7 Edge for $225 and kept my S8+ as a backup.

Same for Note 9. Found a cheap one used, sold the S8+, kept the Note 8.

This is the first time in a few years I have been down to one phone. I sold my Note 8 for $400 and used that to buy a Galaxy Tab S4 for $400. (which I just sold today for $400, LOL). I traded my Note 9 in on my N10+, so it's also the first time in a couple years since I've had a brand new phone, and I'm preordering a Tab S6, too.

How do I get my wife on board? I upgrade her phone as well. And she knows I never pay full price for a phone. Each time I upgrade, it's usually for almost free or just a couple hundred bucks.

For example, because of me selling a phone, trading in a phone, getting some cash back on a credit card, my Note 10+ cost me $131 total. My Tab S6 will cost me about $108 total.

My wife's S10+ cost me $250. That S8+ I bought her brand new (which was basically free)...I sold it on FB Market place for $400. I then bought her a used S9+ for $400. When the S10+ was released, I traded her SO+ in for $550. And I had a $250 cash back offer on a credit card at the time too. It's all about moving money around, buying and selling, and looking for good deals.

Dropping off my N10+ at UPS this morning. Phone didn't blow my tits off like I was hoping it would. Juice is not worth the squeeze on this one, IMO. Pixel 4 may do it for me but we'll see.

I won't get another phone without s-pen (made that mistake once after returning Note7).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sess:
I wouldn't have even thought twice about the pixel 4 has they not "hinted" at solei being able to "handwrite". At the very least, Im interested in whether its a ****ty gimmick, or an actually highly functional pencil simulation. With google, its possible it could go either way, though modern evil googs seems to be half assing everything these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I did the same after my frustration with the Note7. I went Note5 -> Note7 (a month) -> LG V20 (two weeks) -> Pixel (OG) -> Note8 -> Note9 -> Note10+.

Straying away from the note didn't go well for me, despite the attraction of the LG and Pixel. The Pixel was very reliable and fast. Just... Kinda boring. Took amazing photos and the UI smoothness was unparalleled. But the Pixel 4 looks genuinely exciting with cool new features (Soli) and the 90Hz screen which I really awesome on the OnePlus 7 (I almost waited for the inevitable 7T but the bad camera keeps holding me back, plus my love for the s-pen).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Just wait. The s11 will have a 90hz screen. The Note 11 get 120.

I think it's funny how people say you won't notice a difference because my man cave tv is 60 Hertz and the living room TV is 120 and I stream from Showbox/Cinema HD and the picture on looks so much better on the 120hz. And that's with a stream registering at about 480 to 720
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
Most TVs the 120 is fake, shouldn't make a difference with resolution either. That TV probably just upscales better as it has the power to interpolate. Anyways it's not like anything is filmed higher than 24 or 30. At least we get 60 on YouTube though. Oh yeah gaming consoles, depending on game. I do wish for higher though in general, have 144hz for monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Tmo can link your original # to a second phone line (it's called a "Digits" line. That way they both ring at the same time, both receive messages etc... Simultaneously. I have one I got for free some timed back.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Belimawr:
Yeah 120hz TVs tend to use frame doubling, also if you look at most Blu-ray even 4k they are generally encoded around 24fps, meaning your TV is showing around 5 times the amount of frames in the actual movie file.

A 60fps movie or TV show is pretty much nonexistent. Even most consoles cap at 60hz and the games are optimised around the 30-60fps range, using a PC with high end graphics is one of the very rare occasions you will see over 60fps, but even so as I said most TVs only frame double and don't actually support a 120hz input.

I had two Pixel 3 xls that had so many little issues they were all eventually corrected with software updates and one was just a defective display. so i think i will be using the note 10 + for a few months and see how the Pixel 4 xl is after all the bugs are ironed out, then maybe get one :)

I loved my Pixel 3 XL but the 4 removing the fingerprint sensor and the minor hardware upgrade (other than the 90hz screen ofc, which is still a half-step in my mind to the preferred 120) is a big nope for me.

I'm regularly conflicted about this all as I LOVE Google's experience. This screen though...I can't be mad about it at all. Loving my Note 10+ and hoping that the Pixel 5 gives us a bigger RAM upgrade and the face unlock PLUS A FINGERPRINT READER
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
The day after a Pixel release there's always a "10 problems with the Pixel and how to fix them" article. From launch, along with every update, riddled with issues it's like iPhones where every update fixes the issue that the previous one created. I'll just stick with my issue free note 10 plus
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
To be far the ten problems posts happen for every phone. It's lazy tech journalism.

Yes I have T-Mobile and the free Digits line. But I use Google Voice so I have no use for Digits. And that really has nothing to do with his question or my answer. O.o

He wanted to know how/why I had two phones.

But I do appreciate the information.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
I know that pixels are good phones, really good, but not cheap, I do not consider them, just because I am reluctant to pay big cash for a device I can not even withstand looking at it! It is so ugly... I know, the most important is inside... But, no, ugliness at pixel degree is unbearable, for the money it costs!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace42:
I can't consider a phone without a pen anymore! If the iPhone 11 supports pencil I might consider getting one for my 2nd line. Other than that, there's no other android device on my radar.

LG filed a patent for a pen enabled foldable, but there's no telling where that'll lead.

The Nexus 4 and N9 were nice looking devices back in their day. Not sure why Google is hellbent on producing ugly phones now, but it's enough for me to look the other way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Quote: LG filed a patent for a pen enabled foldable, but there's no telling where that'll lead.

Actually LG was making phone with pen, similar to Note line, the only other company I know off that did so. However that phone was so under powered, it would make much more sense to buy 2-3 year old Note, than LG. It almost looked like they didn't want to offend Samsung and make a phone competitive in any way with Note line. I think Pro Max and Pro will be compatible with Apple pen ($99 accessory), but I don't like Apple, way too controlling and restrictive for my liking and if it's not attached in some way to the phone like Note's is, you'll never have it with you when needed and will get lost quickly. Few years back I had those rubber ended pens for my phone, before switched to Note series, I bought 3 and lost them all within weeks. I also lost Note pen couple times, once literally in haystack when took kids horse riding, it fell out by itself, but phone warn me about it and found it right away.

Pixel...4GB RAM and no expandable storage....seems archaic
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
They're like Apple with the RAM numbers. But somehow the phones always perform amazingly well.

I mean, it makes sense with Apple since there's no true multi-tasking anyway... But I don't know how the Pixel pulls it off. But they're always fast and smooth. I'm guessing this one will be too. But definitely losing the spec war mightily (and yet charge the same prices as 12GB RAM phones).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
The 4 gigs of RAM news was probably not true or at most, would be for the smaller non-XL.

This newer XDA article says - 6 GB.

As for 12 gigs requirement currently on smartphones, I wonder why! if not for bragging rights.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
I think that all these discussions about pixels are out of place here, there are specific pixel forums for that, IMO

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Lol...I was hesitant but bought the Note 10+ anyways.. when the Puxel 4 comes along and if I like it, I'll trade it in on it. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Same here, figured that was a worst case scenario.

But since owning the phone, I have no fears. This thing is a freaking beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
Pixel 4 XL looks dated, lots of bezel, unless the leaked pics I have seen are not accurate. If I wanted lots of bezel I'd just stick with my Note 9. Which I still am using since VZ still hasn't even shipped my preorder N10+ yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's the tech that wins my heart than aesthetics to the eye.

Actually..

with a meaningful top bezel I'm finding it quite attractive and advanced. The attraction will reduce if the Soli chip fails to provide precision crafted performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Barebones Android with huge bezels and a high price tag is not something I'd want nowadays. I do like OxygenOS on my OP7 Pro and the overall smoothness and design of the device especially for the price and I really enjoy the design and features on my N10+ but in no way would I buy a Pixel right now when devices like the OP7 Pro and N10+ exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
I mean, could you even tell a difference in performance from real world usage from say, the Note 9 vs the Pixel 4 XL? Doubtful if it would be enough to really tell. The Note 10 will be a tad "faster" than the Note 9, but again, not enough to really even tell. My Note 7 and Note 8 are still plenty fast - these phones are aging better than they used to IMO. Improved tech allows them to be fast and relevant for 3+ years now.

On that note, I never should have tried to upgrade my wife and my Note 9's. They work fine, great really. VZ has effed up my preorder so badly on our Note 10's, and 25+ hours on the phone with them and they still can't even get the damn phones shipped. The only reason I even decided to upgrade was the good incentives on the preorder deals and the fact that my wife loves the SPen, but the Note 9 is just pretty big for her hands. And I wanted the 10+ with the ultra wide angle lens. So I thought, I will do the preorder upgrade, get my wife the smaller Note 10 which is perfect for her needs and myself the 10+. Seems like fate is telling me I never should have tried to upgrade, but without going into a longer story on why/how VZ has screwed this up so badly, I am into this about $1300 already and can't back out. The bezels on the Note 9 vs the Note 10 were one of the things I strongly considered in the upgrade decision, but I really don't mind the bezels that much to have to endure this nightmare that VZ is putting us through. Still, the Pixel 4 XL doesn't do much for me, no S Pen, really not a Note competitor IMHO, and as Pixels often are, it looks dated. I would rather stick with my Note 9 than get a Pixel 4 XL personally if it came to that choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Just curious... If you don't know if you needed the upgrade and wish you hadn't... Why are you in a rush to get it? It'll arrive when it arrives, right?

And as a data point for you... It's worth the wait! Huge upgrade over Note9 for me, and I freaking loved that phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
Two reasons:

1) They already charged our card for paying off our Note 9's, but then did NOT pay off our Note 9's, nor did they credit our VZ account anywhere with the almost $1100.00. They took our money, then have not credited us for the money... all while telling me that my Note 9's would show paid off when I got our Note 10's.... except they won't ship the Note 10's because the order is "processing" payment on the Note 9's. They effed up. After 30 hrs on the phone with VZ over the last 3 weeks, they finally admitted they paid off someone else's Note 9's on someone else's account. All while not sending me the two Note 10's for saying I needed to pay off the Note 9's first, which of course they already took my money to do so. Sigh... if that makes sense.

2) I have purchased about $250.00 of accessories for the two Note 10's. Some through VZ, some on Amazon. Yes, i could probably, with more work/time/effort, get all those accessories returned/refunded, but I have already gone through an extremely lengthy process trying to get these Note 10's. I don't want to go through more work of having to send stuff back, wait for refunds, etc, etc.

3) After all of that, I damn well want our new phones, lol. Yes, I agree they will be upgrades to our Note 9's, but probably not worth all this hassle, time and stress VZ's eff up has caused me. Our Note 9's work fine, it will make basically no difference in our day to day lives whether we have Note 9's or a Note 10+ for me and a Note 10 for my wife. But after all of this work to do the upgrade and get the preorder promotions ($250 credit from samsung, $900 credit for trading in two older phones on the trade in program, an S8 and Note 8 and we get to keep or sell our Note 9's outright), I figure I might as well wait this out and get these damn Note 10's.

In conclusion, after all of this, I talked to VZ on the phone for over 3 hours today. They admitted that somehow they made a big mistake, and the only way to fix it was to cancel my pre order for these two phones. Unbelievable. But the supervisor I was talking to today promises to credit me the $250 in lost Samsung credits and also give us the promised $450 each for the phones we trade in. So after all of this waiting (3 weeks!) for these phones to ship, they ended up cancelling the order anyway and making me do a brand new order. Pretty messed up, but what can you do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I hope they give you a lot more than just what they already should owe you. Dang. That sucks! I hope you get them soon. This phone has quite the "wow" factor and I'm loving every day with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
Exactly...my thoughts as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
They should give me some credit for all this hassle, but they probably won't. I did ask for them to make this right somehow, I have owned retail businesses and would never treat a customer this way in the first place, but if something they ordered or bought was messed up somehow, I would definitely comp that customer something. VZ you can't even talk to a person who has that kind of power it seems.

Yep, we are excited to get our Note 10's! We are both looking forward to them!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] peng1can:
This is so exactly my thoughts that I had to check and make sure I hadn't posted this myself and forgotten! I waited until the last minute to send in my 3XL trade in, but the only thing I liked about that phone more than the 2XL was the wireless charging. And even if the face recognition works as well as expected, that's just not how I want to use my phone. It's just petty marketing not to have included the fingerprint reader (it would undercut all of the thunder about the recognition), so I went with Samsungs marketing and accepted the trade-in offer.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that. When the Pixel 3 was announced and everyone was moaning about the 4GB RAM, I thought it was ridiculous. My 2XL ran fine, and so there was no reason the 3XL shouldn't work just as well, right? But my 3XL was total garbage. It would regularly get bogged down and the home button would stutter, the amazing camera did me no good when it would sometimes take a second or two after I hit the shutter button before the picture would take, sometimes the phone would just sit there for 10 seconds catching up. I wiped that thing repeatedly and it didn't get any better. Eventually I had a warranty replacement and it was a bit better, but I still saw some of those same problems even with the new phone, and my 2XL never worked like that. I know other people seemed to have a flawless experience, but I also saw a lot of posts from people with the same problems I had. At least now I have no reason to fear that the beastly hardware in the 10+ won't keep up.

I totally agree with you, first, the s pen, that is the very reason for buying a note series device, second, if you are willing to pay some big money for a device, it ought to look pleasant to the eye, if these two considerations are unimportant for somebody, then, there are literally dozens of cheap and not so cheap chinese devices out there that have good specs
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
True.

Since Google is doing practical things that make life easier and exciting rather than paying attention to "specs" and that too with great looks as shown here and here, it would be an easy choice to grab the Pixel 4/4 XL - to those who like to have Google's offering.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The device has basically been confirmed and it's quite ugly. I can't deal. Not every device needs to look like the Note10 but that thing is atrocious.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Eh, Samsung does too with DeX, s-pen, etc.

I feel like you're team Google on a Samsung board. Do you even have/like the Note10?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Ofcourse it certainly does , hence I responded in that msg quoting from the later half, your point ?

Nope, team "none" actually.

S10+ is my daily driver currently. To say the least ,except Note 7 & GS8+ I've owned every Samsung flagship available in my country since first Galaxy S. But then I get to use various other flagships too quite well. So thinking of me with team A or B would be pretty awkward.

Note 10+ yes , got to use it for a day before market release, cancelled the preorder as my conscience didn't allow me to upgrade and degrade at the same time. It's indeed a great device overall.

Is this thread about taking team X? Hope not.

Imitation is a form of flattery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheForceUnleashed:
I get paid next week and I’ve been hesitant on the 10+ because of the OP7T Pro and Pixel 4 coming soon. I was considering the Exynos variant, but from what I’m seeing about performance, it appears as if on that side of the coin the Exynos isn’t doing so well. I wanted the Exynos for the ROM development and the 10+ has so many features (including wireless and reverse wireless charging) that I favor, but the Exynos performance could be a killer for me, maybe, especially considering the ROM development the OP7Pro has alongside the 90hz refresh rate.

I’ve been out the Android game since the S6; after that I tried iPhone for a few years but now I’m wanting back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Wt imitation? Those phones do not look similar from any side is what I meant..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RevoWution:
From someone who's used quite a few of Google's phones (both the Pixel 2 XL & 3 XL and the Nexus 5 & 6P) for extended periods of time, the Note10+ as a phone overall (extra features, battery life, screen quality, phone call quality, etc.) is light years better than any phone Google's offered. All 4 Google phones I've used have had quality control issues that frustrated me (terrible RAM management, poor battery life, bricked phones, crackling speakers, voice call quality/issues, screen tint, just to name a few).

The camera on the 3 XL hands down still produces the best photos, but the versatility of the Note10+'s cameras are unmatched. If the rumours are true, the upcoming 4 XL will still be missing a wide angle camera. Surprisingly, I've been using the wide angle on the Note10+ heaps.

No doubt the 4 XL will be a camera beast, and the 90Hz screen will be welcome, but the rumoured battery size may pose some battery life problems. Not to mention the lack of RAM (6GB) and a maximum of 128GB internal storage are a bit underwhelming.
