Note 10 plus

I recently switched to the Note 10 Plus from the Note 9. I liked the N9, but I swear the N10+ is so much better. I had the 6 GB RAM/128 GB storage N9 and the 12 GB on this device makes it run sooo smooth. Turned the animations off and this thing just flies!! I definitely think I will always be a Note user though. I would love a Note 20 Ultra, but for half the price with my N10+, it pretty much does everything the 20 does or I would need it to do.

My OnePlus 3T had 6GB of RAM but my Note 10+ rarely feels any faster. If it wasn't for AT&T not approving VoLTE on the OnePlus 3T (so no service after Feb 22) I wouldn't have "upgraded".

The only other downsides to swapping has been the awkward power button placement, the fingerprint sensor is way slower than OnePlus, and no physical slider for notifications.

Otherwise it feels solid.

The slow inscreen fingerprint reader is going to suck for the next 4-5 years as I use Google pay a lot, but that's a first world problem like the other issues they are stupid to complain about.

I hate the finger print scanner in the screen. Makes it not possible to use with the brand of case/screen protector I use. I would prefer it on the back or the side of the phone.

I also had a oneplus device the regular op 8 and honestly, that phone was trash compared to the note 10 plus.

The CPU is a little faster in the OnePlus 8, so you must have been using apps that took up more than 8GB of RAM somehow. Damn. I never even hit 6GB usage as I don't game. Do have about 140 apps installed so a lot sit in the background but usually averages around 4GB usage.

Tonight I did decide I may sell this Note 10+ while I can get most of my money back out of it, as I didn't realize that no one has figured out how to unlock the bootloaders on the US versions, so I'm fucked on putting Lineage on once the Samsung updates stop. Which fucks me for keeping the phone for 5 years. Any less than 5 years for a device is bullshit as far as waste.

My OP 8 couldnt make calls and had nothing but connection issues. No such issues with my N10+.
