Samsung Galaxy Note 10

I bought my first Android - Samsung Galaxy S10e - three months ago and I am very pleased with it.
Not heard this. Latest update for me was the November patch and battery is nothing but stellar.
How much battery do you have by the end of the day? I use internet almost full day and it used to last me 50 percent...now it is 30 percent
Pointless comparing how much I have left to someone else. Uses will be very different.
The battery on my Note 10+ has been pretty amazing. I get roughly almost 8 hours SOT when I work from home and on Wifi all day. When I'm in the office I get a little over 6 hours SOT. Mine is a unlocked (directly from Samsung) US Snapdragon model. It has become my daily driver over the 11 Pro Max and Pixel 4 XL.
What’s best about this phone is that it really feels more like a personal pc (literally with Dex) than any other phone. At my job, I sign PDF’s quite often, and is amazing being able to take the S-Pen out and quickly sign and email back.
For me it is the functionality of the phone. It can do almost what a laptop does with Dex.
I love the size and speed and how fluid it is. The camera is great, right up there with the 11 pro max and pixel 4. I never have app refreshes with the 12Gb of ram. I don't use the S-Pen that much but when I need it it's there. I have an SD Card in with 50Gb over moves and 20GB of music that comes in handy on 4x4 trips when there is no signal. Then one UI has evolved to be pretty good for me. The display is amazing!
I never have to worry about battery life.
My biggest complaint is the curved display....wish it had a flat screen tbh....
Then if it had the facial unlock like the Pixel 4 or Pro Max...it would be the perfect phone imho.....
It has facial unlock and it's very fast and works almost everytime. It's not as secure as on the iPhone but that's another story. I like to have the combination of inscreen fingerprint scanner and face unlock.
And i think with Note 10+ Samsung has reached a nearly perfect curve, it doesn't bother me at all in contrast to the Oneplus 7 Pro for example.

I do sometimes still find I get a haptic buzz when holding it as I’m pressing on the side of the screen and I don’t find it as comfortable to type on as a flat screened phone but that’s it really
The only reason I don't like the curved screen is the screen protectors are much more difficult to apply.
Apart from that, the curves are small enough to not be too much of a hassle.
The Note 10+ is battery king for me so far.
Could get 8 plus hours SOT today.

Strong battery when compared to the Pixel 4 XL is why I’m still considering getting a Note 10 plus. But let’s be honest, in terms of mainstream devices, the Pro Max obliterates everyone in terms of battery life.The Note 10+ is battery king for me so far.

well...to be honest....using both phones sometimes daily......my Note 10+ is just as good or better than my 11 Pro Max when it comes to battery life.
The one thing about iPhones that makes the comparison so tough is that is that they have it set so it stays at 100% for the first half hour (if not longer). This makes it feel like your Android is draining faster when it really isn’t.
For me, the only thing a phone needs to do is last the day before I get home. I'm a moderate to heavy user. That being said, I don't know of any phone that won't meet my use case. From entry level to flagship, most phones have no problem lasting us the day, with the occasional quick top up. It's a joke how all these YouTubers bait people into pointless arguments with their battery test videos. I swear, when these YouTubers get together behind the scenes, they gotta be laughing at how much money they make getting views by fan kids bickering about the most pointless things. Oh look, my phone lasted 5 minutes longer than yours on the battery drain test. My phone is king! It absolutely destroyed yours! ?
Exactly. Accidental touches on the edge even worse than s9+ due to ultra slim bezel. I never put any covers so sometimes it can annoying.

Oh and how they were all furious about the no headphone jack on the Note 10, but then they say how they only use wireless headphones anyway?
Here is a great app if you want to block your camera from some apps accessing your life.

Paying $7 to give a random app access to my camera in order to block other apps from accessing my camera?
Hahahahhaha
Hahahahhaha
Just discovered one handed operation + app and moved from navigation bar to gestures. Phone feels even better now. 1 handed operation back gesture works great, reminds me of the iphone in a way.
Like a child I am with this phone at times. Sad i know but who cares!

I have 122 apps accessing my camera so i am way better if only one app accesed than 100+ apps. Try the free version and see how you go.
