@DANIEL CHUKWUKERE Fr. iPhone is the best. I have iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro Max in Silver. My main phone/daily driver is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The other two iPhone’s are my backup devices.
Thank you for the honest review. I STILL have my note 10 plus and not thinking at all about an upgrade, no matter how many text verizon sends me and honestly i dont think there is any more innovation left for phones.
I still love mines, still looks brand new since I been having a water proof case since day 1. I have a s21 as a work phone and ain't much of a difference. I'll keep my note a lil while longer
The Note 10 plus is the best phone Samsung ever made in my opinion. Only thing it was missing for me was a headphone jack. I had the N10+ for almost two years, but upgraded to the S21 Ultra in the fall of last year. Sold my N10+ to a friend and was super sad to see it go. The 256gb + 12gb of RAM AND the ability to use expandable memory is the best value to this day IMO.
I'm an unapologetic 'phone guy'. I also love my Note 10 and still use it, but to me the Note 9 was the best Note . It had everything, plus no pin hole.
@@monke4070 One of them is me! I cant leave this phone. It still is super fast and responsive, no issues what-so-ever. Only problem - battery life is starting to show its downfall.
Absolutely, I'd trade-in my spare N10+ or even pay full price if they put the latest snapdragon chipset, a 120hz and up samsung panel (slightly bigger than the N10+ of course), the latest BT, expandable storage, and a 5,000mah or more battery (easily removable of course 😀) into a much more thicker N10+ frame w/ the latest gorilla glass in the front and matte finish on the back. Idgafabout cameras 😆, matter of fact, they could completely remove the front facing camera, and I wouldn't have any gripes about it. I'm just gonna end up covering it with some electrical tape that's perfectly cut out ⚫️ anyway 🤷♂️
I may sound obsessive, but my Note 10 Plus became a part of me the day I bought it. It's been 5 years since, and this phone has given me everything. I just can't let go. I want to use my Note 10 Plus for life, and if not, I'll just keep it as a prized possession. It doesn't matter if it's not worth a penny; it's worth a memory and the services it provided me.
I got the Star Wars N10+ too, 3+ years and still going strong. When time comes to upgrade, I want more of a difference than even what the S23 Ultra offers. Even then, I'll put the N10+ and all it's accessories back into the Star Wars box and keep it as a collector. Who knows what it'll fetch in 10 or 15 years time!
It is just past mid-2023 and I still love my Note 10 Plus. I love the button placement, the 256gb + 12gb of RAM and the ability to use expandable memory.
I've owned a Note 20 Ultra for just over 2 weeks now. Having a 120hz display I don't feel left behind at all. I even have the latest One UI 5.1 update. And the design is still very modern. Great phone!
Still using my Note 10 Plus since I bought it early 2020. Only issue is that my battery isn't lasting as long as it used to. Cameras are still great though 👌
@@gheyonghi thats incorrect. You can charge however u want. There are very advanced AI tech inside that will manage the battery health automatically. A phone will never really charge to 100 percent and wont really go down to 0 percent either.
Bought note 10 plus 5g on release. Nearly 4 years. Still using in 2023 May as my primary phone. Still 🔥🔥🔥 and keep punching like Rocky Balboa. No issues. Super happy with my note 10 plus. ❤❤
I'm still loving my Note 10 Plus. I finally cracked the screen after almost for years. I debated on getting the S23 Ultra for $11 a month with AT&T. I decided to go with a refurbished Note 10 Plus 5G. It's the design and color for me. I love the smaller cameras and the Aura Glow. I hate the matte finish and boring colors on the S23 Ultra. My Note 10 Plus still does everything I need it to do, and it does it well.
I finally upgraded my note 10 plus after 4 or so years. I was able to get $1000 of credits, so I figured it was worth it. With that said, I absolutely LOVED that phone. It treated me well and was the first phone I kept that long. I have had my s23 ultra for a solid 6 hours now and I'm enjoying it so far. Hopefully, this one lasts me a long time too lol.
Niice. I have a mint condition Note 10+ with the factory screen protector still on it. I upgraded from an S5 to the Note10+ which was a humongous jump. Now it's not getting the battery life it used too and I'm leaning towards the s23 ultra. You still loving it? I hope I can get a nice credit too like you did lol.
Note 10 plus was perfect for 2019 but now the s23 ultra is a real upgrade! Much better video stabilization, photo in low lights, better processor, excellent battery!come on is a huge jump!
New phones will come every week every month every year and they will come with some minor better things if they will not better who will buy but at this time the s22 ultra was the best for upgrading before 2020 models pocket friendly
They both have 6.8" screens, the 23 has 8GB ram but the 10+ has 12GB ram so more apps will be kept open in memory. The 23 has a better CPU of course but the 10+ is considerably lighter weight 1.5 oz lighter you for sure will feel that in the hand. Overall I have both the 23 for work and the 10+ for personal and I actually prefer the 10+ due to the lighter weight yet same screen size is much nicer to hold in the hand for long periods of time and games seem to run about the same for me, yes I ran games on my work one don't tell anyone lol
That video was super helpful as I was JUST ABOUT to upgrade to the S23 from my Note 10 Plus but decided to research it first on CZcams and then watched your video! Thank you for saving me $1200!! Keep up the great work!
Like others I received $1k in trade in allowance through Verizon for my Note 10+. The S23 Ultra does have a faster response and has smoother screen transitions. I went for the 512gb version. The one thing I have learned is I will never go beyond three years before upgrading to another phone. I was considering moving to the iPhone for the first time but I'm glad I stayed with Android. Very good common sense video.
Stay with Android. I tried iPhone for a bit, felt like was sitting in a cage. Could not function in the boundaries in which Apple tries to confine us. Came back to Android.
It's a Matter of preference as far as going with iPhone or Samsung. However, Samsung has always been ahead of the tech curve. I phones are finally doing things Samsung did 5 yrs ago.
The Note 10+ is the best phone Samsung ever made. Thin, light, tons of useful tech. The new phones are thick and heavy for no reason. No, the battery capacity isn’t worth it. I have chargers everywhere.
The S23U is worth the upgrade if money isn't a concern. Anything in between the Note10+ and S23U is not worth it. I made the mistake of switching to the S22U from the Note, and I was quite disappointed. Real world day to day performance, exactly the same. If anything, the Note10+ actually felt faster in some cases. Battery was a lot worse on the s22U. I actually dropped it several times because of the size and weight, after getting used to the Note. Cameras...better on the s22u, but not enough to compensate for the flaws. 60hz is indeed something you can't go back to, after using 120hz. I then got the s23U as I just could not imagine keeping the S22U for a long time. And yes, the S23U is what I actually had hopped the S22U to be. So keep the Note10+ if you already have one, or jump to the S23 if you want to upgrade now, don't do anything in between.
This is literally a mirror image of the opinion I have formed. I've kept my note10+ and I'm using the s23 ultra as my primary. S22U was a massive disappointment.
Hi Steve, Love the content as always. This S23 Ultra had me confused and jumping from one phone to another ha ha. I am the ultimate Note 10 Plus lover. But I sold my S22 Ultra! Bought the S23 Ultra. Tried it out. YES it is amazing but its heavy and sadly it does not change your life ha ha. Then I whipped out my S21 Ultra and was reminded about how comfy and great that phone is! Best phone on the planet you can get for under 400 bucks in my opinion. So I sent the S23 back! Sim is now in the S21 Ultra... BUT the Note 10 is looking at me from the corner of the room smiling.
I was skeptical to not moving to a phone without a sd card and i haven't made the jump to the newer phines yet....but you have to keep in mind that if you lose your phone or get it stolen they have all your pix in that sd card and with the phone without they will not be able to access that. That is something to think about. I don't want a stranger to have 12+ years of my life pix from that sd card.
Hi have had all Notes since No. 4. Except 7 and 22 ultra. Now after last 10+ and 20 ultra the 23 ultra is my main phone. It was definitely worth upgrading.
I never thought I would part with my Note 10+ but the S 23 Ultra made a compelling fight and won. I use an OTG for SD card support; It's not as bad as i thought it would be. The S23 Ultra is an upgrade in every way to the Note 10+. I ran my Note 10+ and S23 Ultra side by side for 3 weeks, then I started reaching for the S23 Ultra exclusively. There is a noticeable difference in daily usage vs the video comparisons. I'm not taking anything from our content creator videos because these reviewers spend a lot of time educating us on differences and recommendations. However, as GREAT as the Note 10+ is, it doesn't compare to the S23 Ultra in real life use, and I'm a Die Hard Note 10+ and just knew I wouldn't upgrade but I did and I'm happy!
Can you explain what you mean by OTG? I'm just siding whether or not to trade my Note 10 Plus in for the s230 ultra and seriously it's just the SD card issue for me. Sounds like you may have found a solution.
@@maryjeant OTG means On The Go. I purchased the UGREEN USB C Micro SD Card Reader Type C to MicroSD Card Adapter Zinc Alloy External Portable OTG Memory Card Reader for TF Micro SDHC SDXC Cards from Amazon. It is a small adapter that plugs into the USB C port on the phone. I didn't include the link because the link causes my comment to be deleted. My Experience: Transfer times 7 videos @ 11GB Total Size (Samsung EVO Plus U3 - 512GB microSD card) Note 10+ = 5 minutes 38 seconds UGreen OTG = 2 minutes 58 seconds SANDISK Portable SSD 1TB Drive (not SD Card) = 56 seconds
@@power2g So it's a portable micro USD that you use in place of the internal micro USD slot. Mean right now I'm just kind of backing everything up and buy everything I mean photos and videos to the Google cloud. So is there then a way to get all of the stuff off my microSD card and back into the s23 ultra by using this device? It was certainly be quicker than downloading everything again.
@@maryjeant If everything is already on your MicroSD card, just insert the card into the OTG adapter then plug it into your USB C port and the drive will show as storage and all your files on the SD Card will be accessible locally. You can move videos and pictures back and forth. When you want to access your files as if they are local just plug the OTG back into the USB C port. The real downside is it's an accessory you have to carry versus being embedded in the phone.
Had my note 10 plus for about 4 years, fantastic phone...my favourite phone of all time. Then i got an S23 Ultra and went back to the note to see what inwas missing and it felt so slowwww... which is crazy because it's a fast phone. Also loving the S23s Camera. So im happy with my upgrade, if it wasn't cracked to hell i probably would've kept it lol
Still holding onto mine. Unfortunately I recently shattered the back camera lens and peeled the glass off so now my cameras are exposed, other than that. Looks brand new still. Samsung bring back Aurora Glow!!!
I'm still very much in love with my note 10+ and for my needs, like you said, the note 10+ is still kicking it in most aspects! Although the photos on the newer models are sharper, I don't think they are necessarily much better. The biggest differences for me are found at night time photography and video stabilization which is miles better on the newer ones. I pre-ordered the S24 ultra now because the ongoing deals are insane and got it for €930,- for the 512GB version. Didn't realize the S24 models don't have expandable storage either, so might need to get the 1TB one! Thanks for your comparison video, it was very helpful
my son has the note 10 plus i bought it brand new from ATT i have the note 20 ultra and there is like very little difference in performance or even the screen i cant tell the difference between the note 10 plus 60 hz and the note 20 ultra 120hz honestly id have to say the note 10 plus if you have one dont even bother upgrading, its still a very future proof solid phone but if you want to upgrade go for it
Still using my Note 10+ and the hardest thing to do is upgrade because the phone is still so much bang for your buck. One of my biggest hang ups is not having expandable memory on the newer phones which is ridiculous because android phone manufacturers have been taking away features more and more. Samsung is notorious for it because they did it with the Note 5 by taking away expandable memory then brought it back after the negative reception. I'm going to keep this phone for as long as it hangs on.
I would have liked to have seen more comparison in photos. The Note 10+ takes great photos, but I'm planning to go to Italy and Greece soon and I want the best images possible. I will be brining my dslr kit, but phones are always handier than a full-sized camera.
Still on my note 10+ multi window videos and all. Removable storage still a must. Waiting for the euro laws for removable battery and storage to kick in to see what the industry does.
I am not living my NOTE 10 + , people stop wasting your money, upgrading to any new device that comes out there. At the end of the day, all this is just a hype. Talking about smoothness and all. Do you know you can adjust the smoothness on your Npote 10 Plus too and it can feel just like the new device?
Lol funny thing is. I just made the upgrade from Note 10 plus. 😆. No regrets so far. Got the upgraded 500 GB S23 Ultra. not worried about anything. Battery life is crazy good especially you bring some of the overpowered settings down. I'm planning keeping this phone for long time also. Besides I love the flatter screen. Plus my phone screen was cracked so 🤷🏽♂️
Man they need to give the Legendary Note 10 plus One UI 5.1 update or fixing the theme park quick panel bug where all the notification icons being the same color. It's almost a perfect device.
Sticking with my note 10 + for now. It would have to be a great deal to trade in my 10+. Battery ok. I take a zerolemon case when im away from a power source.
Battery life between s23u and note 10 + (exynos) is huge, i used to get 2-2.5hrs of sot, while with my new s23u im getting close to 10hrs which is insane😂
I have had my note 10+ for 4 plus years and decided to upgrade with reservations, I went with the S23 ultra. I will see if there is a noticeable difference to my liking.
The Note 10 + is the first phone I ever owned that was flawless through the 5 years I owned it. I still own it and will never trade it in or sell it, it's a true keeper and was well ahead of competition at the time. It was and still is the best phone I have ever used!
Returned my s23 Ultra and keep my Note 10 plus. The price of new phones now a days is absolutely ridiculously expensive. Not gonna buy any flagship phone again or phone over $1k. Not worth it.
Had the s10 plus and as soon as I seen the note 10 plus I sold my s10 plus and got this beast and kept it for a while it was a fantastic phone probably still decent till this day I think when the s10 note 10 series come out Samsung was on they game
Long time note user here. Ive had the note 5, 8, the regular 10 and note 20 ultra. Ive owned the 10 the longest, and while it was really incremental compared to the 8, I loved and would have kept for as long as possible if I wasn't surprised with a N20U. It was the only phone I bought twice. Switched to the s23 ultra, and so far so good.The most noticeable differences come from camera, battery and battery life
I placed my order for the S23 Ultra 512GB. While I’m waiting, I’ve been trying to justify trading in my Note10+ 256GB. Taking into account the trade-in offer my Canadian provider is giving me, and Samsung Canada’s comparatively better, but in my mind, still undervalued one, it doesn’t make sense. I EXPECT a 3-year newer phone to be much better in ALL aspects, and this new S23U does not disappoint. There is one single reason I grabbed the N10+ when I did; I knew that the ugly camera bumps were coming. Comparing photos taken between these two cameras, yes “obviously” the newer phone seems better than the older one with - which does not have UGLY, massive, protruding bumps. What sort of witchcraft is that with my 3-year-old phone?! I thought Samsung had matured to forge its own path not copying Apple with its camera cutout and rear camera design, but sadly, no. For me, the difference in the photos aren’t by a country mile, and anyway, if I am going on a “serious” (= amateur) shoot, then along comes my Sony A6400. My phone is as fast as the day I bought it. The battery still provides excellent coverage. I will continue to get security updates ‘til almost the end of 2023. So, I have changed my mind. I am not shelling out CAD$1,200+ (including taxes, which is more than I paid outright for my Note!) to trade-in and give up a PERFECTLY GOOD phone, which I’ve really, REALLY liked from Day 1. And oh yeah; I cleaned it and its transparent case and I’m in love again! So, thank you @StevealiciousTech! Heads up for those getting the S23U: get a screen protector! Reports are the Victus2 screen doesn’t break easily, but heck, it scratches like mad! (The N10+ came with a TPU SP; mine is still fully intact after 3+ years.)
Good video. I've been tormented about whether to trade in my Note 10 Plus for the s23 ultra. Verizon is giving me a good deal until the 31st of March so I'm trying to make my decision. With my trade in it'll end up costing me $16.11 a month for 3 years for the new phone. It's just tough for me to give up that microSD card. For the most part it's still working just fine... It's a little slow here and there but I'm not sure what the cause of that is... An App or Probably just age (like me) 😉. Thanks for the great video, I'm still tortured Not sure what I'm going to do.
If you are used to a monthly payment, that's a pretty good deal to upgrade, I would think. A lot of those features aren't coming back anytime soon, so might as well take advantage of a good offer.
@@StevealiciousTech I've been finished with my monthly payment since August of last year. Do you think it's worth waiting for the s24 ultra or should I jump in on this s23 ultra deal right now?
Did you use pro mode for the Note 10 Plus shot below? I wonder if the detail couldn't be improved with manual adjudstments in the foreground, the flooring is very detailed in the S23 Ultra and kind of fuzzy in the Note 10. 4:08 $250 Note 10 Plus (used) 4:29 $1200 S23 Ultra (new) p.s. watching this on my Note 9 512 GB using Dex on a 15.5" OLED display I got for less than $200 (Innocn brand). Five year old phone, amazingly inexpensive external display. No need to spend big money. Samsung is offering $350 for the Note 9 plus an instant $180 off on the S23 Ultra bringing price down to $800 or so. Compelling if I wasn't really really satisfied with my Fold 3 512 GB.
Best advice and most logical ... much needed review. NOTE 10+ has been the greatest phone I have ever owned after we switched from iPhone 8 to this device in 2019 winter. Best decision ever made! Best purchase! 4 years on this Note 10+ we're a breeze and never it fail to impress us. The memory slot is a blessing. I am a photographer and do about 20000 pics a year around the world. Insert a Sim... take pics.. remove and copy on computer! Boom. That easy! The S23 ultra just can't do that. While (as a photographer) I wish to upgrade, the upgrade including current offer with a trade will cost 817 dollars precisely for a 512GB (and a cover) OR $698 for a 256GB with a cover. Is that money worth spending? Thats my debate these days! Any help or advice from the OP or readers would be appreciated!
Thanks for the video. I got the note 10+ on release, and still using it to this day. It is not the 5g version, which is a minus, but my connection speed does the work, I havent tried 5g so I don't know if Im missing out. Only reason I'm considering switching is FOMO. Samsung currently offers 400$ for the note 10+ in trade in, and I'm sure next year the offer is dropping. But I guess this phone still has some juice in it.
Still have my Note 10 Plus...Works flawlessly. 🤗💯💖 I'd consider buying the S23 Ultra when the price drops significantly after the updates for the N10+ stop. 😏
Thanks.. Great advice.. Was on the cusp because the trade for the note 10+ is very good on the Samsung site. I have an unlocked version. Really appreciate you being straight with us. A lot of Amazon affiliates are not
Eh, being upfront is more important than getting 3 dollars or whatever it would be haha. When an upgrade is worth it, I will be sure to be excited about it.
I really do love how everybody says Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra is better than the iphone in camera quality but they never record their videos with Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra they always use the iPhone..😅😅
Have tried to mentally justify ditching my Note 10+ 5G in favor of the S23 Ultra. I just couldn't. I like that Samsung kept the S-Pen as I use it every single day of the week and freaked out when I lost the original S-Pen but quickly got a replacement. As for smartphone cameras.....I think they are overrated and I think that most people don't buy their smartphones because of the camera(s). A few days ago an adult I was talking to at my son's baseball practice indicated he was super excited he was going to get a new iPhone 15. I said cool......then showed him my Note 10 and he was surprised how lite and thin the Note 10 is......even with the case I have which is low profile. I love the Note 10+ and rue the day when I'll have to replace it.
Before even watching the video i can tell you i just upgraded from my Note 10+ and coming from only Notes back to Galaxy was strange...the Spen obviously sealed the deal but its def an upgrade. Love this ph! Build quality, the tacktile buttons, the specs and tech is the most addicting samsung product yet 😮😅
@WaLk_412 thanks for the insightfulness..I knew that. I only had note phones for yrs. Technically samsung wants to market it as a Note but it's named as a galaxy. I had samsung galaxies before, went to notes and now back to galaxy.
Just bought a new back and front glass for my note 10+, cant wait to refurbish it! I do enjoy filming elevators for a different youtube channel in my spare time, and the note 10+ definetly shows a lot of noise in the recordings. But its not that big of a deal
If you can get expandable storage in the A53 5G and the new A54, then not getting it in the professional S23 Ultra is mind-boggling and beyond any reason.
Had i not lost my Note 10+ by accident two years ago, id still be using it today. Losing that phone made me quit chewing tobacco all together, and a few months of using iphone, i bought s23 ultra just because i couldn't find a note 10 on sale.
Verizon is giving me 800$ for my note10+ I could get this for 400$ but I have to pay like 11$ for 36 months is the contract, btw yes my note10+ is like new 0 damage everything still fast
I have a note 9... I own a camera as a professional photographer.. I hardly take photos of myself with my phone. Only thing i do make calls and social media... the note 9 serves me well...
Which is living proof that all those samsung phones are merely REPEATS of this great Note 10+.😂😂😂 the s22 ultra is the one to get now..., lower price & repeated upgrade from the note 10+👍🏾
Here we are, 9 months later (Nov. 23'). Samsung has decided to drop the support fir the Note 10+. At the same time WhatsApp, now owned by Meta, decided that their application will no longer be supported on Android's versions 5.0 & older. Completely killing my WhatsApp usage on my Note 10+ running 4.1. I understand that technology moves on but this phone is barely 4 years old.
I have TWO N10+ (my first one got SEVERELY damaged but no cracked screen & everything still works except the charging, I got LUCKY). I bought the S21 ultra and after a few months i ended up selling it (lost a couple hundy on that btw) just so that i could buy another N10+ and I have no regrets about it, except for buying the S21U in the first place lol. I plan to upgrade to the latest galaxy whenever Samsung brings back the expandable storage AND as long as it still has the curved screen. And if my good N10+ breaks I'll just replace parts or replace completely if I have to, with yet another N10+. Now, Eventually the N10+ will become harder to find. If Samsung continues to follow down the Apple path, I'm sure by this time another company will see the market/demand for N10+ and will make something similar enough to make the switch and supply that demand (and with all the latest goodies inside, of course). The severe damage on my first N10+: the back glass shattered, the phone is bent backwards slightly, and the temp sensor kicked the bucket (so it will hold/keep the current battery % if you put it on a charger, but it won't increase the % of charge because the phone reads -4°F even though its at room temperatures) so it was stuck at 0-1 percent. i got around this by removing the battery and sticking alligator clips directly on the battery terminals (with a universal battery charger) and charging it to 70%. Now i use it as a "at home" phone so I can cut back on wearing out my screen and battery etc on my newer N10+.
I’m interested in purchasing N10 P unlocked. Can you provide a solid website to purchase? Can you explain how it works if you have a locked device with carrier. Can SIM card be removed in kivked😢device and placed in unlocked device? Trying to fully understand. Thanks
I just returned the ultra 23. Its an absolutely horrible phone when compared to a galaxy note 10+ Put aside there is no SD card. For a camera that records 8k???????? Are you effin kidding me , youll never have space for anything without an SD card. Design? If you want to kill someone. Just use that brick. Its so big and heavy its completely going to give you carpal tunnel syndrome. It legit feels like its doubled the size of the note 10 plus with 3 stupid cameras that will show you nothing more than the note 10 already does. Now. Im on my phone for 13 hrs a day alone at work. Literally. I spend so much time on my phone at work. Almost 40 hrs goes to spending on my phone to kill time at my dead end job. So i know wtf im talking about. GAMES? the only game i tested on my uktra was doom. And it runs like sht. Apples iphone runs games extremely smooth. Not samsungs. But thats ok for me. I DID EXPECT a significant improvement though. And what did i get. Actually NOTHING. Not 1 frame faster. I thought the 120 hz refresh rate would make the difference. But all it did was make me feel disrespected.
I agree, but the Problem is, there are no more Updates anymore especially no Security Updates. Otherwise i also Would Keep my nice Note 10 plus. The only thing i would be missing a little bit is the higher Refresh Rate
Still think why people still love the note10 plus as to the note20 ultra is that ever since 2021 on all so called s series phones that still are more the note phones. they have done away with the SD card slot as the note 10 plus as to the note 20 ultra both come with a SD card support as signing up to tis cloud is just to gain more money off you a month,
I still use my note 10 plus, but I bought recently a S21. I put it in my pocket during the day take some pictures. And arriving at home I use my note 10 plus for CZcams and movies. The pictures on the S21 are ways better than the note 10 pro ! And the qualities of video on CZcams on the S21 are a little better than on note 10 pro.
I've bought refurbished note 10+ ever since I had my first one. It's the best deal you can get on a good phone. I'm only here because I was recently offered a free S23 standard 128 GB and thought it might be worth the switch for free.
It's two and a half years now since I got my note+ but trust me am just thinking of upgrading to the note20ultra thankx to samsung for the quality products 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
I love my Note10+ the camera is incredible, the battery life is still fantastic... I just FINALLY ran out of room a week ago, for the first time since getting the phone and I take pictures and videos every day and nevver delete things. I have had the same chrome tabs (23 of them) open since I got the phone, they have never been lost/closed. I'm NOT a fan of the curved screen stuff, but there was no other option with the same specs at the time. I have zero complains for the phone and jusssst don't see a reason to upgrade, if it was free, sure, otherwise.. wouldn't even spend $50 to upgrade to a new one.
Still loving your Note 10 Plus? Let me know!
@DANIEL CHUKWUKERE Fr. iPhone is the best. I have iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro Max in Silver. My main phone/daily driver is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The other two iPhone’s are my backup devices.
I have the same special edition.. couldn't bring myself to sell due to the uniqness of it.
Thank you for the honest review. I STILL have my note 10 plus and not thinking at all about an upgrade, no matter how many text verizon sends me and honestly i dont think there is any more innovation left for phones.
Hell yeah! I love it but am ready to see how it makes happy to someone else 🥲
I still love mines, still looks brand new since I been having a water proof case since day 1. I have a s21 as a work phone and ain't much of a difference. I'll keep my note a lil while longer

The 256gb + 12gb of RAM AND the ability to use expandable memory is the best value to this day IMO.
Definitely!
@@StevealiciousTech it was so good that my wife also got one in late 2021, and still has hers!
Agreed I still love my nite 10 plus 😅
Is it better than the note 20?
I'm an unapologetic 'phone guy'. I also love my Note 10 and still use it, but to me the Note 9 was the best Note . It had everything, plus no pin hole.
If Samsung could put all their top tech into the design of the S10 and Note 10, i'd be happy.
That would be really cool.
Those 2 devices were just straight up amazing. I know some people who still use the note 10 and are dreading getting rid of it haha
@@monke4070 One of them is me! I cant leave this phone. It still is super fast and responsive, no issues what-so-ever. Only problem - battery life is starting to show its downfall.
Absolutely, I'd trade-in my spare N10+ or even pay full price if they put the latest snapdragon chipset, a 120hz and up samsung panel (slightly bigger than the N10+ of course), the latest BT, expandable storage, and a 5,000mah or more battery (easily removable of course 😀) into a much more thicker N10+ frame w/ the latest gorilla glass in the front and matte finish on the back. Idgafabout cameras 😆, matter of fact, they could completely remove the front facing camera, and I wouldn't have any gripes about it. I'm just gonna end up covering it with some electrical tape that's perfectly cut out ⚫️ anyway 🤷♂️
design is the only reason im buying note 10 plus in 2023
Note 10+, S8 and S9, were the best Samsung designs ever.
I may sound obsessive, but my Note 10 Plus became a part of me the day I bought it. It's been 5 years since, and this phone has given me everything. I just can't let go. I want to use my Note 10 Plus for life, and if not, I'll just keep it as a prized possession. It doesn't matter if it's not worth a penny; it's worth a memory and the services it provided me.
Je suis comme vous , le note 10+ est le meilleur même en 2030
I got the Star Wars N10+ too, 3+ years and still going strong. When time comes to upgrade, I want more of a difference than even what the S23 Ultra offers. Even then, I'll put the N10+ and all it's accessories back into the Star Wars box and keep it as a collector. Who knows what it'll fetch in 10 or 15 years time!
Very true. It's an awesome phone. I'm really glad I waited on the Note 10 when it came out to pick up the special edition.
Smart man. Now you just need to keep it in perfect condition until you retire it. Good luck👍
It is just past mid-2023 and I still love my Note 10 Plus. I love the button placement, the 256gb + 12gb of RAM and the ability to use expandable memory.
Yep, definitely still a good device.
I've owned a Note 20 Ultra for just over 2 weeks now. Having a 120hz display I don't feel left behind at all. I even have the latest One UI 5.1 update. And the design is still very modern. Great phone!

I'm still loving my Note 10 Plus. I finally cracked the screen after almost for years. I debated on getting the S23 Ultra for $11 a month with AT&T. I decided to go with a refurbished Note 10 Plus 5G. It's the design and color for me. I love the smaller cameras and the Aura Glow. I hate the matte finish and boring colors on the S23 Ultra. My Note 10 Plus still does everything I need it to do, and it does it well.
I finally upgraded my note 10 plus after 4 or so years. I was able to get $1000 of credits, so I figured it was worth it. With that said, I absolutely LOVED that phone. It treated me well and was the first phone I kept that long. I have had my s23 ultra for a solid 6 hours now and I'm enjoying it so far. Hopefully, this one lasts me a long time too lol.
It should! And you were in the perfect spot to upgrade. Getting a good credit bonus and you keep your phone a long time. A good one to move to!
Niice. I have a mint condition Note 10+ with the factory screen protector still on it. I upgraded from an S5 to the Note10+ which was a humongous jump. Now it's not getting the battery life it used too and I'm leaning towards the s23 ultra. You still loving it? I hope I can get a nice credit too like you did lol.
I agree with you. Note 10+ is the best phone I have ever used.
You were still in the honeymoon phase 😆 give it a few months, then your opinion on it would be worth consideration.
11 months with my note 10 plus and i love it. Works really great for my daily use.
Definitely!

They both have 6.8" screens, the 23 has 8GB ram but the 10+ has 12GB ram so more apps will be kept open in memory. The 23 has a better CPU of course but the 10+ is considerably lighter weight 1.5 oz lighter you for sure will feel that in the hand. Overall I have both the 23 for work and the 10+ for personal and I actually prefer the 10+ due to the lighter weight yet same screen size is much nicer to hold in the hand for long periods of time and games seem to run about the same for me, yes I ran games on my work one don't tell anyone lol
Ok lol
That video was super helpful as I was JUST ABOUT to upgrade to the S23 from my Note 10 Plus but decided to research it first on CZcams and then watched your video! Thank you for saving me $1200!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy the Note10 and see what next year brings, if anything you can get an S23U cheaper.
Like others I received $1k in trade in allowance through Verizon for my Note 10+. The S23 Ultra does have a faster response and has smoother screen transitions. I went for the 512gb version. The one thing I have learned is I will never go beyond three years before upgrading to another phone. I was considering moving to the iPhone for the first time but I'm glad I stayed with Android. Very good common sense video.
Stay with Android. I tried iPhone for a bit, felt like was sitting in a cage. Could not function in the boundaries in which Apple tries to confine us. Came back to Android.
You sound like a bot, tge s23 is not a win
@@JoshuaNY93BX That does not compute.
It's a Matter of preference as far as going with iPhone or Samsung. However, Samsung has always been ahead of the tech curve. I phones are finally doing things Samsung did 5 yrs ago.

Pretty much! And in good light you will still get a heart.
The Note 10+ is the best phone Samsung ever made. Thin, light, tons of useful tech. The new phones are thick and heavy for no reason. No, the battery capacity isn’t worth it. I have chargers everywhere.
Is the note 10+ still worth buying in 2023?
USED?
@@gideonmaduwuba3182 Yes.
Facts
The S23U is worth the upgrade if money isn't a concern. Anything in between the Note10+ and S23U is not worth it. I made the mistake of switching to the S22U from the Note, and I was quite disappointed. Real world day to day performance, exactly the same. If anything, the Note10+ actually felt faster in some cases. Battery was a lot worse on the s22U. I actually dropped it several times because of the size and weight, after getting used to the Note. Cameras...better on the s22u, but not enough to compensate for the flaws. 60hz is indeed something you can't go back to, after using 120hz. I then got the s23U as I just could not imagine keeping the S22U for a long time. And yes, the S23U is what I actually had hopped the S22U to be. So keep the Note10+ if you already have one, or jump to the S23 if you want to upgrade now, don't do anything in between.
This is literally a mirror image of the opinion I have formed. I've kept my note10+ and I'm using the s23 ultra as my primary. S22U was a massive disappointment.
Is it worth to by note 10plus in 2023?or note 20 5g normal
wish they made a note 10+ but with better cameras id drop money for that bc i love the looks of n10+
Hi Steve,
Love the content as always. This S23 Ultra had me confused and jumping from one phone to another ha ha. I am the ultimate Note 10 Plus lover. But I sold my S22 Ultra! Bought the S23 Ultra. Tried it out. YES it is amazing but its heavy and sadly it does not change your life ha ha. Then I whipped out my S21 Ultra and was reminded about how comfy and great that phone is! Best phone on the planet you can get for under 400 bucks in my opinion. So I sent the S23 back! Sim is now in the S21 Ultra... BUT the Note 10 is looking at me from the corner of the room smiling.
I was skeptical to not moving to a phone without a sd card and i haven't made the jump to the newer phines yet....but you have to keep in mind that if you lose your phone or get it stolen they have all your pix in that sd card and with the phone without they will not be able to access that. That is something to think about. I don't want a stranger to have 12+ years of my life pix from that sd card.
I spent a week with S23ultra and then picked up my Note10+ in a Pitaka case and almost cried, how thin and neat it is
Absolutely! Big beasts these things are now.
Got the new s23 ultra green, loving it. Loved my aura glow note 10plus. Been with notes for years and years now since note 4 lol
That was a cool color!
Nobody cares
@RedPlayzYT You are too poor to afford even a second hand note 10+. Don't be mad at him it's not his fault
@B bro I don't even need or Want a new phone so stfu
Hi have had all Notes since No. 4. Except 7 and 22 ultra. Now after last 10+ and 20 ultra the 23 ultra is my main phone. It was definitely worth upgrading.
I am retiring my Note 10+ tomorrow. Got the S23 Ultra 512 for 979 on Amazon for Prime Day.
Not a bad deal at all!
Rocking my Note 10+. Holding out for the S24 Ultra. Was thiiis close to getting the 23, but am happy I waited.
I never thought I would part with my Note 10+ but the S 23 Ultra made a compelling fight and won. I use an OTG for SD card support; It's not as bad as i thought it would be. The S23 Ultra is an upgrade in every way to the Note 10+. I ran my Note 10+ and S23 Ultra side by side for 3 weeks, then I started reaching for the S23 Ultra exclusively. There is a noticeable difference in daily usage vs the video comparisons. I'm not taking anything from our content creator videos because these reviewers spend a lot of time educating us on differences and recommendations. However, as GREAT as the Note 10+ is, it doesn't compare to the S23 Ultra in real life use, and I'm a Die Hard Note 10+ and just knew I wouldn't upgrade but I did and I'm happy!
Can you explain what you mean by OTG? I'm just siding whether or not to trade my Note 10 Plus in for the s230 ultra and seriously it's just the SD card issue for me. Sounds like you may have found a solution.
@@maryjeant OTG means On The Go. I purchased the UGREEN USB C Micro SD Card Reader Type C to MicroSD Card Adapter Zinc Alloy External Portable OTG Memory Card Reader for TF Micro SDHC SDXC Cards from Amazon. It is a small adapter that plugs into the USB C port on the phone.
I didn't include the link because the link causes my comment to be deleted.
My Experience:
Transfer times 7 videos @ 11GB Total Size
(Samsung EVO Plus U3 - 512GB microSD card)

@@power2g So it's a portable micro USD that you use in place of the internal micro USD slot. Mean right now I'm just kind of backing everything up and buy everything I mean photos and videos to the Google cloud. So is there then a way to get all of the stuff off my microSD card and back into the s23 ultra by using this device? It was certainly be quicker than downloading everything again.
@@maryjeant If everything is already on your MicroSD card, just insert the card into the OTG adapter then plug it into your USB C port and the drive will show as storage and all your files on the SD Card will be accessible locally. You can move videos and pictures back and forth. When you want to access your files as if they are local just plug the OTG back into the USB C port. The real downside is it's an accessory you have to carry versus being embedded in the phone.
@@power2g Thank you!
True. Lack of expandable storage is the worst way to lose all data if the phone dies
Had my note 10 plus for about 4 years, fantastic phone...my favourite phone of all time. Then i got an S23 Ultra and went back to the note to see what inwas missing and it felt so slowwww... which is crazy because it's a fast phone. Also loving the S23s Camera. So im happy with my upgrade, if it wasn't cracked to hell i probably would've kept it lol
Can I have it please
Am enjoying in my note 10 plus (exynos) version its fine just battery isnt powerfull like on the begining.
The exynos version has no problems. I've used it daily for almost 4 years and it's still very fast like the day I bought it.
This is a really strong upgrade year
Note 10 plus is a best phone
Still holding onto mine. Unfortunately I recently shattered the back camera lens and peeled the glass off so now my cameras are exposed, other than that. Looks brand new still. Samsung bring back Aurora Glow!!!
Very usefull for lefties.. note 10 plus is so slim and its screen to body ratio... 👍🏻
I guess lefties deserve at least one break :).
Do you advise me to buy a Note 10 Plus device now?
I'm still very much in love with my note 10+ and for my needs, like you said, the note 10+ is still kicking it in most aspects! Although the photos on the newer models are sharper, I don't think they are necessarily much better. The biggest differences for me are found at night time photography and video stabilization which is miles better on the newer ones.
I pre-ordered the S24 ultra now because the ongoing deals are insane and got it for €930,- for the 512GB version. Didn't realize the S24 models don't have expandable storage either, so might need to get the 1TB one! Thanks for your comparison video, it was very helpful
my son has the note 10 plus i bought it brand new from ATT i have the note 20 ultra and there is like very little difference in performance or even the screen i cant tell the difference between the note 10 plus 60 hz and the note 20 ultra 120hz honestly id have to say the note 10 plus if you have one dont even bother upgrading, its still a very future proof solid phone but if you want to upgrade go for it
Still using my Note 10+ and the hardest thing to do is upgrade because the phone is still so much bang for your buck. One of my biggest hang ups is not having expandable memory on the newer phones which is ridiculous because android phone manufacturers have been taking away features more and more. Samsung is notorious for it because they did it with the Note 5 by taking away expandable memory then brought it back after the negative reception. I'm going to keep this phone for as long as it hangs on.
How long have you been using it? Does it still works good?
@@farhanhandsome Been using it for 4 years now and still works great.
I would have liked to have seen more comparison in photos. The Note 10+ takes great photos, but I'm planning to go to Italy and Greece soon and I want the best images possible. I will be brining my dslr kit, but phones are always handier than a full-sized camera.
It's really not close at this point. Great lighting maybe, but the S23 Ultra takes much better photos.
Still on my note 10+ multi window videos and all. Removable storage still a must. Waiting for the euro laws for removable battery and storage to kick in to see what the industry does.
Im thinking about upgrading to the S23 Ultra but i WILL NOT be trading my Note 10+ in whatsoever. I love the Note 10.
Don't blame you!
Your eyes can't even see 120hz refresh, so what is the point?
I am not living my NOTE 10 + , people stop wasting your money, upgrading to any new device that comes out there. At the end of the day, all this is just a hype.
Talking about smoothness and all. Do you know you can adjust the smoothness on your Npote 10 Plus too and it can feel just like the new device?
Nice thanks for the look back and yeah I guess if you still have it a note 10+ happy good for another nine months
Does the Note 10+ 5G get good 5G coverage in 2023? Considering it had a 1st gen 5G modem.
I'm using the 10 5G and have no problem in South East Asia but it might depend on where you're living.
Lol funny thing is. I just made the upgrade from Note 10 plus. 😆. No regrets so far. Got the upgraded 500 GB S23 Ultra. not worried about anything. Battery life is crazy good especially you bring some of the overpowered settings down. I'm planning keeping this phone for long time also. Besides I love the flatter screen. Plus my phone screen was cracked so 🤷🏽♂️

The Note 10 + is the first phone I ever owned that was flawless through the 5 years I owned it. I still own it and will never trade it in or sell it, it's a true keeper and was well ahead of competition at the time. It was and still is the best phone I have ever used!
Returned my s23 Ultra and keep my Note 10 plus. The price of new phones now a days is absolutely ridiculously expensive. Not gonna buy any flagship phone again or phone over $1k. Not worth it.
That's what I think!
Had the s10 plus and as soon as I seen the note 10 plus I sold my s10 plus and got this beast and kept it for a while it was a fantastic phone probably still decent till this day I think when the s10 note 10 series come out Samsung was on they game
Definitely was their year for design!
Is the note 10+ still worth buying in 2023?
USED?
Long time note user here. Ive had the note 5, 8, the regular 10 and note 20 ultra. Ive owned the 10 the longest, and while it was really incremental compared to the 8, I loved and would have kept for as long as possible if I wasn't surprised with a N20U. It was the only phone I bought twice. Switched to the s23 ultra, and so far so good.The most noticeable differences come from camera, battery and battery life
Definitely! But still love the 10
I placed my order for the S23 Ultra 512GB. While I’m waiting, I’ve been trying to justify trading in my Note10+ 256GB. Taking into account the trade-in offer my Canadian provider is giving me, and Samsung Canada’s comparatively better, but in my mind, still undervalued one, it doesn’t make sense.
I EXPECT a 3-year newer phone to be much better in ALL aspects, and this new S23U does not disappoint. There is one single reason I grabbed the N10+ when I did; I knew that the ugly camera bumps were coming. Comparing photos taken between these two cameras, yes “obviously” the newer phone seems better than the older one with - which does not have UGLY, massive, protruding bumps. What sort of witchcraft is that with my 3-year-old phone?! I thought Samsung had matured to forge its own path not copying Apple with its camera cutout and rear camera design, but sadly, no. For me, the difference in the photos aren’t by a country mile, and anyway, if I am going on a “serious” (= amateur) shoot, then along comes my Sony A6400.
My phone is as fast as the day I bought it. The battery still provides excellent coverage. I will continue to get security updates ‘til almost the end of 2023. So, I have changed my mind. I am not shelling out CAD$1,200+ (including taxes, which is more than I paid outright for my Note!) to trade-in and give up a PERFECTLY GOOD phone, which I’ve really, REALLY liked from Day 1. And oh yeah; I cleaned it and its transparent case and I’m in love again! So, thank you @StevealiciousTech!
Heads up for those getting the S23U: get a screen protector! Reports are the Victus2 screen doesn’t break easily, but heck, it scratches like mad! (The N10+ came with a TPU SP; mine is still fully intact after 3+ years.)
Good video. I've been tormented about whether to trade in my Note 10 Plus for the s23 ultra. Verizon is giving me a good deal until the 31st of March so I'm trying to make my decision. With my trade in it'll end up costing me $16.11 a month for 3 years for the new phone. It's just tough for me to give up that microSD card. For the most part it's still working just fine... It's a little slow here and there but I'm not sure what the cause of that is... An App or Probably just age (like me) 😉. Thanks for the great video, I'm still tortured Not sure what I'm going to do.
If you are used to a monthly payment, that's a pretty good deal to upgrade, I would think. A lot of those features aren't coming back anytime soon, so might as well take advantage of a good offer.
@@StevealiciousTech I've been finished with my monthly payment since August of last year. Do you think it's worth waiting for the s24 ultra or should I jump in on this s23 ultra deal right now?
The biggest issue is there's no more updates (software and security). What happens next year?
Trust me, if the note 10+ had 120hz or even 90hz, i would call it the perfect samsung phone. but thats whats holding it back
Still have a crush on my S10 Note+. Gonna use it till it is no longer practical.
Makes sense! Don't blame you!
Did you use pro mode for the Note 10 Plus shot below? I wonder if the detail couldn't be improved with manual adjudstments in the foreground, the flooring is very detailed in the S23 Ultra and kind of fuzzy in the Note 10.
4:08 $250 Note 10 Plus (used)
4:29 $1200 S23 Ultra (new)
p.s.
watching this on my Note 9 512 GB using Dex on a 15.5" OLED display I got for less than $200 (Innocn brand). Five year old phone, amazingly inexpensive external display. No need to spend big money. Samsung is offering $350 for the Note 9 plus an instant $180 off on the S23 Ultra bringing price down to $800 or so. Compelling if I wasn't really really satisfied with my Fold 3 512 GB.
Going to sound silly, but the thing keeping me from upgrading is I can't get Aura Blue ....
Was a beautiful color. I'm right there with you. I hate the colors they come out with now.
Best advice and most logical ... much needed review. NOTE 10+ has been the greatest phone I have ever owned after we switched from iPhone 8 to this device in 2019 winter. Best decision ever made! Best purchase! 4 years on this Note 10+ we're a breeze and never it fail to impress us. The memory slot is a blessing. I am a photographer and do about 20000 pics a year around the world. Insert a Sim... take pics.. remove and copy on computer! Boom. That easy! The S23 ultra just can't do that. While (as a photographer) I wish to upgrade, the upgrade including current offer with a trade will cost 817 dollars precisely for a 512GB (and a cover) OR $698 for a 256GB with a cover. Is that money worth spending? Thats my debate these days! Any help or advice from the OP or readers would be appreciated!
Thanks for the video. I got the note 10+ on release, and still using it to this day. It is not the 5g version, which is a minus, but my connection speed does the work, I havent tried 5g so I don't know if Im missing out. Only reason I'm considering switching is FOMO. Samsung currently offers 400$ for the note 10+ in trade in, and I'm sure next year the offer is dropping. But I guess this phone still has some juice in it.
It does...and 5G isn't always a benefit. If you don't need the speed, it can cause a lot of battery drain on newer phones.
Still have my Note 10 Plus...Works flawlessly. 🤗💯💖 I'd consider buying the S23 Ultra when the price drops significantly after the updates for the N10+ stop. 😏
Edwin. When do updates stop for Note 10 Plus?
Android 12 was last system for note 10 plus. Pretty sure the only updates now are security
Thanks.. Great advice.. Was on the cusp because the trade for the note 10+ is very good on the Samsung site. I have an unlocked version.
Really appreciate you being straight with us. A lot of Amazon affiliates are not
And yes I really still love my Note 10+ . Does everything I need..and does it well.
Eh, being upfront is more important than getting 3 dollars or whatever it would be haha. When an upgrade is worth it, I will be sure to be excited about it.
I really do love how everybody says Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra is better than the iphone in camera quality but they never record their videos with Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra they always use the iPhone..😅😅
Have tried to mentally justify ditching my Note 10+ 5G in favor of the S23 Ultra. I just couldn't. I like that Samsung kept the S-Pen as I use it every single day of the week and freaked out when I lost the original S-Pen but quickly got a replacement. As for smartphone cameras.....I think they are overrated and I think that most people don't buy their smartphones because of the camera(s). A few days ago an adult I was talking to at my son's baseball practice indicated he was super excited he was going to get a new iPhone 15. I said cool......then showed him my Note 10 and he was surprised how lite and thin the Note 10 is......even with the case I have which is low profile. I love the Note 10+ and rue the day when I'll have to replace it.
Before even watching the video i can tell you i just upgraded from my Note 10+ and coming from only Notes back to Galaxy was strange...the Spen obviously sealed the deal but its def an upgrade. Love this ph! Build quality, the tacktile buttons, the specs and tech is the most addicting samsung product yet 😮😅
@WaLk_412 thanks for the insightfulness..I knew that. I only had note phones for yrs. Technically samsung wants to market it as a Note but it's named as a galaxy. I had samsung galaxies before, went to notes and now back to galaxy.
Just bought a new back and front glass for my note 10+, cant wait to refurbish it! I do enjoy filming elevators for a different youtube channel in my spare time, and the note 10+ definetly shows a lot of noise in the recordings. But its not that big of a deal
If you can get expandable storage in the A53 5G and the new A54, then not getting it in the professional S23 Ultra is mind-boggling and beyond any reason.
Yes, but it seems like something a lot of companies do. Their mid tier and budget offerings get that and a headphone jack.
@StevealiciousTech so dumb just like the note 4 in my opinion is the best note ever beca of the remote sensor and for Samsung heath
Had i not lost my Note 10+ by accident two years ago, id still be using it today. Losing that phone made me quit chewing tobacco all together, and a few months of using iphone, i bought s23 ultra just because i couldn't find a note 10 on sale.
Verizon is giving me 800$ for my note10+ I could get this for 400$ but I have to pay like 11$ for 36 months is the contract, btw yes my note10+ is like new 0 damage everything still fast
I just wish they would make an as thin of a S23 Ultra as the Note 10+ was 😐
That would be awesome!!
I have a note 9... I own a camera as a professional photographer.. I hardly take photos of myself with my phone. Only thing i do make calls and social media... the note 9 serves me well...
Excuse the typos. Basically I’m trying to find out how does unlocked devices work if your current SIM card is with carrier.
Which is living proof that all those samsung phones are merely REPEATS of this great Note 10+.😂😂😂 the s22 ultra is the one to get now..., lower price & repeated upgrade from the note 10+👍🏾
I wish they could go back to the aura glow!
That would be cool to see again!!
Here we are, 9 months later (Nov. 23'). Samsung has decided to drop the support fir the Note 10+. At the same time WhatsApp, now owned by Meta, decided that their application will no longer be supported on Android's versions 5.0 & older. Completely killing my WhatsApp usage on my Note 10+ running 4.1. I understand that technology moves on but this phone is barely 4 years old.
Android 5, not OneUI 5. Whatsapp will be fine for years. OneUI 4 is based off Android 12.
I have TWO N10+ (my first one got SEVERELY damaged but no cracked screen & everything still works except the charging, I got LUCKY). I bought the S21 ultra and after a few months i ended up selling it (lost a couple hundy on that btw) just so that i could buy another N10+ and I have no regrets about it, except for buying the S21U in the first place lol. I plan to upgrade to the latest galaxy whenever Samsung brings back the expandable storage AND as long as it still has the curved screen. And if my good N10+ breaks I'll just replace parts or replace completely if I have to, with yet another N10+. Now, Eventually the N10+ will become harder to find. If Samsung continues to follow down the Apple path, I'm sure by this time another company will see the market/demand for N10+ and will make something similar enough to make the switch and supply that demand (and with all the latest goodies inside, of course).
The severe damage on my first N10+: the back glass shattered, the phone is bent backwards slightly, and the temp sensor kicked the bucket (so it will hold/keep the current battery % if you put it on a charger, but it won't increase the % of charge because the phone reads -4°F even though its at room temperatures) so it was stuck at 0-1 percent. i got around this by removing the battery and sticking alligator clips directly on the battery terminals (with a universal battery charger) and charging it to 70%. Now i use it as a "at home" phone so I can cut back on wearing out my screen and battery etc on my newer N10+.
I’m interested in purchasing N10 P unlocked. Can you provide a solid website to purchase? Can you explain how it works if you have a locked device with carrier. Can SIM card be removed in kivked😢device and placed in unlocked device? Trying to fully understand. Thanks
Still rocking my Note 10 6.3 inch screen. If only there's a mini version of the S23 Ultra, I''ll buy it in a heartbeat.
That would be nice to see!!
Still have mine Loving It Thanks For your Review.
I just returned the ultra 23. Its an absolutely horrible phone when compared to a galaxy note 10+
Put aside there is no SD card. For a camera that records 8k???????? Are you effin kidding me , youll never have space for anything without an SD card.
Design? If you want to kill someone. Just use that brick. Its so big and heavy its completely going to give you carpal tunnel syndrome. It legit feels like its doubled the size of the note 10 plus with 3 stupid cameras that will show you nothing more than the note 10 already does.
Now. Im on my phone for 13 hrs a day alone at work. Literally. I spend so much time on my phone at work. Almost 40 hrs goes to spending on my phone to kill time at my dead end job. So i know wtf im talking about.
GAMES? the only game i tested on my uktra was doom. And it runs like sht. Apples iphone runs games extremely smooth. Not samsungs. But thats ok for me. I DID EXPECT a significant improvement though. And what did i get. Actually NOTHING. Not 1 frame faster. I thought the 120 hz refresh rate would make the difference. But all it did was make me feel disrespected.
Yeah I use the microSD for taping storage. Without it... man! Looking at getting a note9 or a note10+ I use S9+, S10+ and an iphone 11
Watching on my note 10 plus
I agree, but the Problem is, there are no more Updates anymore especially no Security Updates. Otherwise i also Would Keep my nice Note 10 plus. The only thing i would be missing a little bit is the higher Refresh Rate
Still think why people still love the note10 plus as to the note20 ultra is that ever since 2021 on all so called s series phones that still are more the note phones. they have done away with the SD card slot as the note 10 plus as to the note 20 ultra both come with a SD card support as signing up to tis cloud is just to gain more money off you a month,
Great Video, Thx. Not giving up my Note 10+ anytime soon.
Great phone! Thanks!
I still use my note 10 plus, but I bought recently a S21. I put it in my pocket during the day take some pictures. And arriving at home I use my note 10 plus for CZcams and movies. The pictures on the S21 are ways better than the note 10 pro ! And the qualities of video on CZcams on the S21 are a little better than on note 10 pro.
I finally accidentally crack the screen on my beloved Note20 Ultra and had to upgrade to the S23 Ultra and OMG this phone is a certified BEAST!
I've bought refurbished note 10+ ever since I had my first one. It's the best deal you can get on a good phone. I'm only here because I was recently offered a free S23 standard 128 GB and thought it might be worth the switch for free.
Disappointed. Need more camera lenses. Nine would be a decent start.
It's two and a half years now since I got my note+ but trust me am just thinking of upgrading to the note20ultra thankx to samsung for the quality products 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks for your honesty!!
I love my Note10+ the camera is incredible, the battery life is still fantastic... I just FINALLY ran out of room a week ago, for the first time since getting the phone and I take pictures and videos every day and nevver delete things. I have had the same chrome tabs (23 of them) open since I got the phone, they have never been lost/closed. I'm NOT a fan of the curved screen stuff, but there was no other option with the same specs at the time. I have zero complains for the phone and jusssst don't see a reason to upgrade, if it was free, sure, otherwise.. wouldn't even spend $50 to upgrade to a new one.
Is it worth to by in 2023?or by note 20 5g normal
Great explanation!!!
