I was so anxious to receive my phone yesterday, but o my surprise, I received my new phone with a small dent on the screen. At first, I was like confused, but when people noticed my phone it was something they pointed out as not being okay for a brand new out of the box phone. I don't want to sound like this but it's a brand new phone with a dent and I can't even get it fixed since it still works. I haven't had a chance to test out the features, so that might change my review.
Samsung cannot get the fingerprint scanner right! It never works. The facial recognition is not much better, only 1 face is allowed. Overall this phone does not impress me with performance. Add on the biometric issues and it a loser in my book. My G8 worked better overall.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my phone two weeks ago and so far I`m loving it. It looks very futuristic and it`s great to watch TV Shows and Youtube on.
For what this phone costs, it's really not that great. I've had it a couple of weeks, but have decided to return it. Sound is okay. Camera is, surprisingly, sub-par ... in my opinion. Screen is very nice and the call quantity is good, but I can honestly say it's not that much better than my old Motorola. If Huawei was available (or even the 12gb OnePlus 7 Pro) I would not have even bothered buying this thing.
Oh well, live and learn. BTW, the best way to test a phone is to by the phone.
One more thing. I use Bluetooth (a lot) and I have had connectivity issues with this phone and all of my devices. $500 is what this phone should cost. Sorry, Samsung.
I really wanted to love this phone. Great screen, great battery life, very fast and fluid. Samsung did a great job all around. Here are my deal breaker issues
Camera Quality - Terrible. If you have kids and rely on a good OIS or camera in low light, the Note 10 dissapoints. All cameras, all settings. I tried everythig. My 2 year old Pixel 2 XL took better pictures. This was the #1 deal breaker
Finger Print Sensor - Not practical not consistent. Misfires a lot. Needs to be combine with face unlock and even the face unlock on this phone is no consistent. Why should i have to spend so much of my time getting into my phone. The native smart lock on android doesn't work on this phone either. All frustraiting.
Google Pay - I go t use google pay and 9 out of 10 times, I put my phone on the NFC tag and have to then unlcock it. I tried everything. Apparently if I'm connected to a blue tooth device , like my headset or smart watch....that's why. So I have to turn off blue tooth. All these issues are deal breakers.
Biggest fault makes it diff to few funtions hard..

I just got the phone a week ago and realized that having buttons on just side making it hard to turn on/off/restart functionality harder and dangerous in case ppl using while driving etc.. even when walking on road. Note 8 had better were you are able to use this functionality best way... Dont recommend to spend money when certain things make the phone usage dangerous...
I pre-ordered this device and i kept it. This phone is a unique device that separates it from other. The screen, cameras, speakers, and the design are all amazing. Samsung has done a wonderful job at being creative and separating this phone from any other phone.
