Brothers and Sisters, I've Seen The Light

[kxdaorbit]

Well, it was actually a demo unit in my local 'Carphone Warehouse' but OMG!!!

Trust me folks, however many pictures of the Note 10+ that you've seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of this device, absolutely stunning even sans the punchole.

I managed to persuade the sales agent to show me the back of the 'Aura Glow' model and I swear I saw an angel smiling at me through the shards of heavenly coloured lights that seemed to reach into my soul.

Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.

I'm mustering every ounce of self discipline to stop myself from running back into the shop and liberating every Note 10+ in stock, but I have my family and goldfish to think of, so roll on Friday.

You are wasted on these forums. Might have to take a trip to CPW myself, armed with sunglasses.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

LOL - well said - me, personally I am mostly interested in the beauty of the screen and the power underneath - I played around with a Note 10 Plus at ATT the other day and was blown away as you are. Friday can't come soon enough.

I am kind of a boring guy - I got the Aura Black - which seems like a fancy way of saying it is a Black Phone - but just the same, it is the SCREEN I am most interested - and what I will be looking at nearly 100 percent of the time....

I saw the black, blue, and glow at Best Buy on display. Glow is more muted in person than it is in videos. It's the color I went with, just because it was so different than any of my previous phones. My last two Notes were blue.

But. I will say the Aura Blue is gorgeous. It's not just a flat blue like the Note 9 or even the glossy blue of the Deep Sea Blue Note 8. It color shifts just a tad from dark blue to Royal Blue depending on the light.

The black is anything but plain black. It's almost a charcoal in some light. It's a very good looking phone. It almost had me wishing I had stuck with the 512GB instead of opting for the 256 to get the glow. But I've had a few black phones before, and glow is so different.

I agree, so what would the best clear case be? I wish they made the OtterBox Pursuit series for the Note line but they don't. I was thinking about getting the "Ghostek Atomic Slim" but I've read people said they had reception issue because of the Aluminum bumper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJJMD25/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1-jxDbKBJBJH4

I like 'ultra thin' cases, I find that even most cases touted as being 'slim' do add some bulk. Since I'm very careful with my phones these are adequate for my needs, and the once or twice that they've been dropped (by other people), no damage was incurred.

I have this one already, waiting to go on my phone the second it's unpacked.

I returned this one because I don't like the camera cutout.

I like a bulky case for more protection.

For me, bulky cases hide the original design of the phone too much, which sort of defeats one of the factors that made me buy it in the first instance.

It's like buying a Lamborghini and then covering it with thick armour plating because you're afraid of scratching the paintwork.

To each their own. I dont purchase technology for the looks, I purchase it for the performance and what it can actually do. Sure I purchased the Aura Glow version and I'd like to show it off with a see through case, but its the big beautiful screen and camera performance that matters most to me.

Thanks for your opinion.

Doesn't sans mean without?



I originally went with Aura Glow then decided on black since I will be putting a skin on it anyways. I always hated how the blue accents limited my skin choices on my note 9. Even though I loved the color itself.

 

[fcortes626]

Too bad they don't have the Aurora glow in 512gb version so I got the black one because that's the only one with that size storage. I find it kind of lame that they did that. But oh well I'm getting a rugged case anyways because I don't want it to break like my note 8 lol. I also find it dumb that they are going to release the 5G versión for TMobile later on ?*

 

[cpufrost]

I always get black phones. There is something about shiny or light colored phones.
It's the camera. I use my phone a lot at live music gigs with all the lights and stuff going on.
I always have it in a case anyways.
I agree, the "glow" is like a big diffraction grating spewing rainbow colors like a big bag of skittles just exploded. Like an air hockey table, it's a novelty that wears off fast.


If you see the glow, you know the phone has "only" 256GB of storage so there's that.

 

[gottahavit]

I was hesitating to pre-order until I saw the demos at best buy the day after the announcement. Went with the unlocked aurora blue trading in my wifes s8+ and getting the 200 dollar credit on the galaxy watch. Watch is coming today and phone tomorrow, can't wait.

 

[invisiblesense]

I decided to go with black 256gb 5G, 512gb in 5G isn't available in UK through Samsung.com. Just checked tracking info, it says delivery is due tomorrow (Thursday) was expecting Friday so can't sleep anymore now.

You will be in the another group, the group of ones who want to be different

No no. Mine is the Aura silver and 512GB. Colours differ from country to country also carrier to carrier etc.
