Most of these have to be a joke.
I still have the "protector" over the screen and the fingerprint sensor works great and is fast. Better than the S10+ and miles better than the S10e.
Battery life is good too. 6+ hours OST and still over 25%.
Unlocked USA 512GB black here.
We have the exact phone. 512gb. You're incorrect about the fingerprint being better than the s10e. I have both sitting right here. Do you?!

I do. The S10e is trash compared to the Note 10+. Then again you wouldn't compare a Mercedes to a Toyota. ;)
The S10+ fingerprint reader is OK but definitely slower than the Note 10+. The S10 5G was the best Samsung phone ever until the Note 10+ came along. That has been my experience.

You're trolling at this point....

Watching flossy's videos, trying to use his s10 5g as the best until now. Come on guy. You ain't fooling anybody.

So let me get this straight, OP is asking for opinion of others based on their experience but he judges the opinion whether they are correct or wrong. And somehow he feels entitled to say that the person is trolling yet OP's the one attacking? Hmm...
The way he stated his last response. "trash". Come on now. The s10e was a highly praised phone with most of the top reviewers.

And I don't recall ever asking for an opinion in the first post.... You see that on there? Didn't think so.

No issues with battery life on this end. Fingerprint scanner isn't the greatest but is sufficient. Speakers are on par with the majority of other smartphones on the market. No issues at all with touch responsiveness ( I got rid of that trash screen protector that was preinstalled). 256GB Aura White Note 10+ 5G

I regretted it before the phone even arrived, they wouldn't let me cancel my order, so I used for half a day and sent it back to Samsung, I'll stay with my s10+ for the time being

Duncan1982 What a terrible phone...

By the way he is listing all the "bad things" about the note10+, you can notice that in fact, he does not have a note10+

I wasn't really planning on getting it. The trade-in amount they offered vs what I paid for the s10e and the $200 in bonuses plus the extra "discount I got. I thought the $600 for a note 10+ sounded too good to pass up.

Don't get me wrong, I like the phone for some of its features. But I like things that just work, and the s10e just works. Of course it's not a note, but it still has a headphone jack, easy to use my remapped bixby button for changing songs and turning on the flash light. Easy to put in my pocket. The fingerprint also "just works", every single time.

Is it me or has XDA become the reviews section of Amazon? What happened to the people busting out ADB before posting about stuff?
What I mean is, people are quick to give up without figuring stuff out. Ahh the good ol' days. ;)
Come on people.

1. Battery life is fine stock but totally insane when you disable unused things. (for me it was Bixby & DeX)

2. There is a growing trend in tech to ship produces with safer tech for eyes. This means to get a display you are used to looking at, switch to Vivid make the color temp a little cooler.

3. The Fingerprint scanner works great just need to learn how it scans. Also, do not put your finger the same exact way when enrolling the finger, do different angles.

4. The speaker is pretty cool actually because of its acoustically different and has a port on the top. I am personally digging it.

I was initially feeling underwhelmed but that was also because I always get the lastest flagship and when a phone is released annually its often difficult to see a huge contrast when compared to having a phone that is 2 or 3 years old.
However, after using it for a few days I am digging the more squared style. Digging the smaller bezels. REALLY digging the camera.

You asked if anyone was having buyer's remorse. Then listed why you were having it. That's pretty much asking for opinions, LOL.

Anybody having it? I like the note 10+, but kinda have regrets with it. The fingerprint scanner is horrible. I get "ghost" touches often while typing and that's with the stock screen protector. The speakers are meh at best and there's a tinting issue with the grays on the screen. Debating keeping my S10e and returning this.

I wonder how returning would effect the freebies?
Your first sentence is asking if I'm having buyers remorse. No I am not. I am in love with my note 10. I'm coming from pixel 3 xl and iPhone xs Max. I love the screen, the fp scanner has been working great on the first try for me. The camera has been a great surprise since I was used to the pixel camera.

I think you get to keep the freebies if you return. That's just a guess though since it was a gift.

You're right, didn't realize I did.

I checked, you have to return all the freebies or they take the amount they normally cost and deduct it from the refund.

LOL that's hilarious. What would I gain by "trolling" [sic] about it? It's my experience and my opinion. If I thought the Note 10+ was a POS, believe me, I'd be venting about it too. It's not, it's the best Note so far by miles. JHMO. Is it perfect? Of course not (no phone is nor will ever be for that matter!).


My biggest gripe/con is the power switch. It's on the wrong side. I'm constantly picking the phone up and pressing on the side where it should be.


And I agree with Flossy about both the S10 5G and the Note10+. It's the screen. Once you get used to it, using another is just hard to go back.


The S10e is a good "small" phone but I don't like the fingerprint reader on the side at all. If your finger is even slightly moist it doesn't work at all.

Negative there fella. There was no asking for people's opinions. It was posted to see if what I was having was buyers remorse. Thanks anyways.
How would we know if you have buyer's remorse? Only you know that. Unless you mean do we agree with your assessment of the Note 10+ and all the negative things you said about it, which is you asking our opinion of it. How can we agree with what your saying without expressing an opinion.

And you didn't ask if YOU were having buyer's remorse. You asked if anyone else was having it. First line of the OP. That is asking our opinion, because you're asking if we regret our purchase.

This is how the internet works. You publicly express your opinion, maybe back it up with facts or experiences, and then other people chime in with their opinion, and maybe back it up with facts or experiences. That's a discussion, not trolling. No one insulted you, made fun of you or your opinion, they just answered your question with their own experience. You are the one that started throwing insults and calling people trolls, because even though YOU wanted to post about a bad experience with the Note 10+, you got offended that someone else had a bad experience with your precious S10e.

Well, good luck to you and have a great day. Enjoy your S10e.
