    The Samsung S-View Flip cover has some changes I've wanted, like removing as much of the clear scratchable area as possible:

    Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ one week later - more, More, MORE?!

    Published on Aug 24, 2019
    The way it usually goes is you go out on a date, and after that first impression you either go for the second one, or you remember there are more fish in the sea. That's the typical case. The problem is when the date is now with a product that's not like the rest. A device that's just as powerful as the sea of flagships in 2019, but then ups the ante with something the rest can't do. That's when things get interesting. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and I've just spent a week with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+


    Not much else better to upgrade to out there right now... Non-US V50 ThinQ Dual Screen?

    Its got some nice features, but I think i'll skip this gen since my Note 9 does everything I want it to.

    and their cameras are very similar, the only difference is the ToF sensor and the live focus videos but you got a very solid phone I wouldn't upgrade if I had a Note 9

    Just received the September patch on my unlocked Galaxy Note+ 512GB here in Dubai.

    Kind of nice Samsung are keeping up with these security patches quickly I was expecting it to come towards the middle of the month.

    His recent review of "Human Headphones" cracked me up though... "On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this a major, major NO"

    I'm exclusive Note user since N3 and was kind of undecided about 10+ due to missing headphone jack, no LED indicator, power button on wrong side, no heart monitor etc. but the geek part of me had to get that 3D scan :) I do like it, but it would be perfect phone if it had the stuff it's missing. However I'm confused about Samsung marketing: Note10+ should have been named N10, since it's a proper flagship as all Notes before it, but N10 is actually lower specs than N9 or even N8 and should be called N10e(conomy), or N10n(eutered), since lower resolution screen doesn't really go well with s-pen. BTW if the rumor about new iphones being compatible with apple pen are true, maybe Samsung should make all Galaxy S models compatible with s-pen and leave Note line alone, one flagship model loaded with all options and large screen and leave neutered options with Galaxy S line.

    I thought of the shortcomings like no headphone jack but other than that, there is no better phone out there. It has the best camera, has an SD Card slot provided you go with the plus version which is only just slightly bigger than the regular one, has an amazing screen, nuff said.

    Ultra Male since you got newest FW and I won't get that update for weeks probably, can you check if they updated 3d scan app?
    Original version was 1.00.03 I think and it worked fine , then they updated it to 1.00.20.1, which totally sucks and doesn't work at all on people. Now, when I side load older version, it doesn't start up, probably due to some system restriction, so I'm hoping for another update that actually works.
