Hi all,
I am waffling on the Note 10 plus vs the Note 10 plus 5g vs the S10 5g. I am not seeing much to differentiate them (an FM radio here, headphone there). One of my biggest drivers (now that dex is on all) is on battery life.
My carrier charges the same rate for both the Note 10+ and Note 10+ 5G. As 5G service isn't widely available yet, i more or less discount the 5g-ability. As I expect to hold the phone for 2 years, there is some hope that will change but I don't find it a strong differentiator.
Does anybody know whether I should expect extra battery drain from the 5g chipset? If the battery life will be lower at all on the 5G, i will prefer the 4g only version.
Anyway, happy for anybody's thoughts on whether there is any battery drain expected from the 5g radio (or anything that would make you prefer one or the other of the major samsung phones right now).
Thanks

Huawei Mate 20 Lite which has better battery life (3750mAh), but it's a little too big for me (158.2 x 77.2) VS. Samsung Galaxy S10e which has less battery (3100mAh), but it's smaller which is better for me (142.2 x 69.9).
Other than the battery and size, I like both phones equally, but I'm looking for something long-term because I'm not huge on phones and don't want to get a replacement every other year. I've had my current phone for years, but I have to replace it because I dropped it in the toilet and the battery drains faster than the speed of light, oops.
I also don't want the phone to lag or freeze.
For those on Verizon, I urge you to consider the A51 5G UW instead of the A51, even if you don't need 5G. I've helped several people setup their A51's and this has to be the slowest, buggiest phone I've used in awhile. Having also worked with the upgraded versions, I can tell you the difference between the Snapdragon 765G on the 5G UW and the Exynos on the 4G is huge. Also the 6 GB helps a lot for multitasking and games. Many people are looking for a solid affordable mid range phone, and I can say hands down the 5G UW model is worth the extra money. If you can get a deal, the S20 FE offers flagship level performance for slightly more.
Hi,
So, I was planning to go for the Note 10 plus but it's price has not decreased much even after the launch of the S21 series https://www.samsung.com/in/smartpho...y-note10-plus-aura-glow-256gb-sm-n975fzsdins/ Is the Note 10 lite worth it's price? It is about 20000 inr or $265 usd cheaper than the plus one. I can live with the plastic body (as a case will be used), the lower end camera is fine but the processor and no ois is a big turn off. Also I read somewhere that the note 10 plus is more 5g ready than the note 10 lite meaning the plus one supports more 5g bands. Is it true? Ofcourse a "pure 5g" phone is months away. Any suggestions?
Thanks
currently have an unlocked redmi note 9 pro in usa on ATT.
love it.,
problem is ma bell claims this is a 3g device (as not purchased from them), and therefore I cannot
enable
a) wifi calling
b) any service on this thing
since my apartment is 4g/5g
is this 6gb ram/256 gb storage worth going slightly backwards on camera and processor?
current redmi 6gb/128gb and 64mb camera.
your thoughts?
thanks in advance
update. pulled trigger and bought it. hope I can root it easily
2.5 month review of moto 5G stylus
ehh. Camera is worse then my redmi.
everything else is ok.
I haven't (had time) rooted yet..
nice with the larger amt of ram.
Only had my T-Mobile 4/128 a dew days. But I am ompressed with what you get with a low price phomne. 5,000ma battery is so nice.
Hi - I'm in the UK and looking to get a good condition Note 20 Ultra... I'm not really concerned about 5g, but I'd like the best battery life possible - so should I go with a Snapdragon model (either the HK or Korean models: SM-N9860 or SM-N986N)? Would everything else work OK/as normal? Thanks.
I have the N9860 HK version on Vodafone UK and it's absolutely brilliant. There's a hidden menu setting you may need to enable 5g (but I keep mine disabled as it eats battery)
The SD is so much better than Exynos in so many ways, especially battery life. Best handset I've ever had.

How about green screen issues in Note 20 ultra?. I can see some of them are affected by it
