Zero problems.
Having written that looking at this forum I must be unique in that I am a satisfied customer with the Note 10+. Nothing better or even close.

With respect some posters here really do need to look outside the box at what we HAVE here! Latest moans seem to be around 60hz. Last year it was something else the year before something else too.
What ARE our expectations of a smart phone? Where does this quest for bigger, smaller, fatter, slimmer etc end?

No device is perfect. I don't have any issues with criticisms, there is certainly nothing wrong with wanting more for the price being paid. Just because one person is happy doesn't negate folks that see negatives anymore than it affect someone that thinks it is perfect. That's the wonder of not being in an echo chamber.

I'll certainly defend design choices I see as beneficial, but I won't discredit someone's opinion of not including a higher hz screen for instance. You mean you wouldn't like that being a part of the device? That's just one example.


I just get an air of "don't complain because we have perfection", that kind of defeats a large purpose of these communities.

Maybe someone's gripe can be solved through another solution they knew nothing about. Maybe someone's gripes will help someone else make a purchase decision that better serves their taste.

Maybe it will help someone identify an actual defect and get it repaired..

I have zero issues with my FP reader. I know it's supposed to be the same sensor as the S10+, but I feel the one on the N10+ is more sensitive than the one on my wife's S10+.

I only have issues when I miss it, because I don't turn on the screen first and have to guess where it is. But I'm actually getting better about that too.

I'm excited to install my Whitestone Dome tomorrow when it arrived and see if it affects the FP sensor negatively. Online reviews say it doesn't cause any issues.

follow the instruction to the letter and it didn't affect my fingerprint scanner in the slightest, works identical to the factory fit protector for me.

I feel like the fp scanner learns/or gets better as you use it. It was the same case with my s10. Never had any issues with it except the first couple of times. After that even with the screen off no issues. I know people that don't use it and they have "issues" with it.

That seems like an issue to me if that is the case.

Works for me

I can't complain, I'm having better luck with it than what was on the Note 9, even if I do wish the 10+ still had iris scan.
I'm having zero issues with the fingerprint scanner as well. I have thumb and forefinger on both hands and let me tell you.....I have missed a front fingerprint scanner in the last two Notes.

I do make a point to rotate my fingers when I do the set up, I wonder if those having issues didn't do that.

I have a Whitestone dome screen protector installed (perfect install too, I'm impressed with myself lol), and I noticed the fingerprint sensor is definitely hit or miss for me. Even with the sensitivity boosted it seems to have problems at times. I also tend to have dry hands which from my understanding causes problems with the reader.

I'm not going to blame the phone because I never even touched the glass before the protector went on, so I will blame it on the dome.

I would be interested in seeing if others with this protector are having issues.

my Finger Print sensor is not so accurate. I can finally says that is the same model and sw from the Galaxy S10 .



Disappointed about that
I'm not having the best of luck either. I haven't got the Aug firmware update yet & that might help. I'm going to add my same finger a couple more times & see if that helps. I'm using the insecure face unlock as I miss that iris scanner so, so much.

I'm coming from the Note8 and the rear fingerprint reader is instant. The Note 10+ is a hit and miss. There are times where it registers instantaneously and there are times it takes a few times to register. I haven't downloaded the Aug firmware. Hopefully that will fix the hit and miss readings.

I have the August firmware and I wouldn't even call it hit or miss ...... It is truly terrible
Phone is otherwise great but the fp reader is practically useless
