Is there still unremovable bloatware on the device (like MS office, etc.)?
I like Note 10 a lot, because it's new and looks great. Display and camera wise in every day use, it's like using my Note 8. Android always slows down once we have 10+ apps and camera starts to lag. This is based on my own experience. There is no reason to change flagships every 2-5 years these days, because the only difference is how well marketing sells it to us, as there's no major changes anymore.
I do use the S pen on my current note 8. But I just might go for the Note 9 than the Note 10+ for the time being. But Samsung Note will be the only way forward for me. I also do love the 2K display.
While 1080P is great but 1440p is definitely better when compared side by side and I've seen the difference, it is noticeable.
I think it's a good decision to remove the obsolete headphone jack. Bluetooth audio is for 99,9% of the people sufficient and far more convenient. I'd never go back. And though it seems like a lot of people will not order the Note for that reason, I'm sure the numbers will prove different...it's a vocal minority that represents few potential buyers in reality.
as you can tell by the name, i use the s-pen alot. that's true and i have got all the note series, except the note fe and note 3 neo, from the first one up to note 8. i even got the 2 notes in 2014- the note 4 and note edge and the tablet note 8.0 and 10.1 because of the s-pen. what has really prompted me from never getting the note 9 and this note 10 is the effing curved screen edges. i use the s-pen, s-note, and autodesk's sketchbook to sketch on the go, and the fricking curved edges effs up the whole thing. now i'm left to lugging a gargantuan ipad pro and the *name of the company that i refuse to mention* pencil.

Anonymous, 22 Aug 2019https://www.phonearena.com/news/Galaxy-Note-10-vs-Huawei-P30-Pro-vs-Google-Pixel-3-vs-iPhone-X... moreThe problem with those two reviewers is that they never look at the details of the photos and only compare the exposures and colors. Once you start pixel peeping latest Galaxies are one of the worst contender in the market because Samsung still uses live HDR algorithms that introduce tons of blotchy noises and mask them with tons of noise reduction and edge enhancement. Huawei is far less aggressive with sharpening and noise reduction so textures look more natural on P30 Pro.

LG V50 thinq supporting 3g+4g+5g .
Best phone this year. Note 9 was a tank. This is a good sleek looking tank too. Work horse!
A phone which is not perfect with an almost perfect score! Mmmmm

It wouldve been a different story if they didn't need to fit in a whole stylus. Other flagship phones today with phablet screen size being the norm have no excuse though.
Oh yea I agree the usb c dongles or USB headphones
won't exactly cut it either. At this point an external DAC/amp combo like from Fiio would be the ideal setup but its bulky.

Sa... moreBest in durability? Wait till repair comes and you have your ip-rating compromised/reduced because you need a new battery or some internal repairs. Unless you buy a new phone half a year later.
You are better off checking iFixit or Rossman.
Speaking of which, why are ugly cases which cover the beautiful glass back/edge screens, are popular among smartphone users if these things are truly durable?

Though some genius over there thought it would be nice to to use it on a sloping electronic paper courtesy of the edge screen.
Every other reason can be summed up to fashion/going with the flow.
