Put two phones side by side and the note 9 screen is crisper and more focused.
Is super AMOLED better then dynamic?

Also there is no bottom home button anymore.
I used to press the bottom to wake the phone without having a finger print saved.

:(

I was thinking that also. I was watching the same movie Endgame on both at the same time. The note 9 seems slightly better. Adaptive display mode is not available on the note 10 only vivid. Both phones were the unlocked version.

yeah the 10+ is superior to the 9 side by side if you have it setto WQHD+ out of the box it's only set to WHD+, if you are on the standard 10 it's only a 1080 screen so it is just a worse screen, the 10+ is the upgrade from the 9, the standard 10 is a budget model.

Yes I just got mine and I think this is something a lot of people will stumble over. You ave to change the resolution to WQHD+ otherwise you're running 1080p on a native 1440p screen(Never Never Never do this).. That said this was true on the note 8 ad note 9 as well.

seem to remember the Note 7 wasn't even set at it's max out of the box, so it's a long running thing.

I used to be one of those guys that compare and nitpick about pixels, sharpness,color etc. I've since realized that my eyes will get used to whatever device I'm using after a week. At the most after 3 weeks. But to chime in. I can't tell much difference with my note 9 and note 10 .

makes sense in a way, but would be better if it popped up as an option with reasoning during setup, then people would actually be aware of the setting.

Or people could just go exploring. If it popped up every single option that could be missed by a user the Samsung UI would be way more over bearing than it already is.

Everything is a click away and there is also a manual packed inside.

I'd roll the dice that the vast majority of the consumer market that doesn't know what an XDA is ain't stressing this. Hell how many people don't even bother changing their wallpaper.
