I traded in my Note 9 for this device last year. After 1 year, I am impressed by the wide range of things this device does very capably, however, I also noticed that this phone has compromised on things that I could have never caught my Note 9 missing or doing, things such as the heart rate sensor, iris scanner, fingerprint reader, unintrusive display, Notification LED, the incredible speakers the Note 9 possessed, and most importantly, the headphone jack. The last point especially hurts because Samsung always touted their Note series as the no compromise, all-in-one package, and in a interesting turn of events, they actually deleted those ad campaigns mocking another company for ditching the headphone jack, when ironically, they did the same with the Note 10. Quite hypocritical if you ask me. Overall, I have had a great experience with this device, but I cannot help but feel that it leaves me with a feeling of disappointment, being a follow up to THE best phone in 2018, and I am personally thinking about going back to the Note 9.
Like all things Samsung it’s great till it’s not . Not made for the long haul if you get a year good on you. Buggy software phone runs hot enough to bother your hand . This is not my first Samsung to have issues. Like a said great while it last but it has a shelf life . Blue tooth issues call issues not a carrier issue. Look else where as this has been common with my phones .
The fingerprint scanner to open the phone is the bane of my existence. Something you have to use constantly should work well. Obviously the facial is confused by my scowl as well. The fingerprint scanner works almost flawlessly for the apps though. Explain that! I'm here because once again I am irrationally irritated by the scanners. Otherwise the phone is meh! I've had a lot of Samsung phones, the camera in the S8 was my favorite. They have something similar to selective focus, not the same results,, and the color and built in corrections are lack luster at best. Battery doesn't last me all day. Touch screen is often finicky or unresponsive. Two steps forward, three steps back. There is nothing extraordinary about this phone.
Had this phone for 4 months and got a notification that it won't charge because of low temperature. Samsung is aware this is a common issue and did not stand by their warranty to replace the phone. Other people report they have to take it into a repair business and within months it is broken again.. We have been samsung fans for years but will not be buying anymore samsung devices after the lack of follow through from this company.
i have 2 of the phones shipped to me both the devices are defected you can't hear people talking you get about half of what they say have to keep asking what did you say also we change network settings d id a reset
