Review on πŸ’₯ Renewed Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Aura Black 256GB for GSM: An Unbeatable Deal! by Hayden Iskandar ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

It's a great gadget and a true flagship, but I don't think it will be Samsung's greatest Android phone of 2022. Samsung's Note 2, 3, and 4 were ground-breaking when they were released, but now, alas, only the pen is left to attest to their once-unparalleled status. It's unfortunate that Samsung is now leading the pack in terms of marketing, because a smartphone that was once a "niche product not for everyone," but with the maximum possible functions, has devolved into a regular S series with a wand, with reduced functionality compared to its predecessors in order to give customers smart watches. Once upon a time, companies prioritized making products that were both simple and long-lasting to use. Now, everyone is a victim of marketing strategies designed to encourage more frequent phone replacement, such as making the battery non-removable, eliminating the notification indicator, eliminating the audio connector, and promoting the sale of wireless headphones. As a result, after a month of use, I was unable to adjust to it and overcome the flaws that irritated me, which outweighed many of its advantages; I sold the phone and purchased a promotion three times less expensive than the Huawei Mate 20; this phone now serves my needs, though I do miss its stylus on occasion.

Pros
  • After being unable to find a cheaper alternative online than the Huawei Mate 20x EVR-L29, I decided to make the transition in September when I realized I could get it for less money than I would have paid in a store. One, a one-of-a-kind pen that stores away in the phone, which gets better every year. That's why this phone doesn't compete with anything; it can only be compared to other phones. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for Note if you require a stylus. Secondly, the finest display I've ever seen or held in my hands. Third, it's true that this camera is among the best available, but in my personal opinion: a. Though Huawei's flagship phones take superior photos of portraits and people, the Note. in is superior in every other respect. Increased internal storage, starting at 256 GB and going up to 512 GB with the option to purchase a 512 GB branded expansion card. This is the fastest and most reliable face unlock I've used, and it also works from any angle (vertical, horizontal, upside down). 12 GB of random-access memory (RAM). 7. A first-rate phone book that allows you to search across all available means of communication. None of Samsung's rivals offer a branded case like the Samsung Protective Standing Cover Note10+ EF-RN975CBEGRU, which went on sale at the same time as the phone.
Cons
  • For the price, wireless headphones should have been included instead of the 3.5 mm jack that was removed. The AKG kit's headphones were a major turnoff for me (after two weeks the braid fluffed up, the sound was average). Since the ones I tested weren't compatible with the phone, I had to go to the company store and pick up a USB Type-C to 3.5 mm headphones converter (model number: EE-UC10JUWRGRU). However, it was inconvenient that the audio would abruptly stop playing if the adapter or headphones were touched anywhere near the USB-C socket. (Many people would probably recommend that you just go wireless or replace your 3.5mm jack. I own not one but two wireless ones, but they pale in comparison to their wired counterparts in terms of convenience and battery life. Second, I turned off the phone's indicator lights and took them off the front panel entirely. Three, the on-screen fingerprint reader is reliable 50% of the time (it's still an early prototype they want to field-test with customers), and the sensitivity of the sensor will be improved by X% in the next model. Despite my best efforts (or ignorance), I was unable to turn off or erase Bixby, and its persistent annoyance became a major distraction. 5 The autonomous functionality is an improvement over the Note 9, but it's still not up to the standard of Huawei's flagship technology. 6. The infamous rounded screen has improved from previous models, but I still experience 10% random clicks.
