Hi guys
I was a samsung user since s1-s8+ including note lineup too, but it bugged me down the lag & stuttering that I have seen through every one of them including S8+ so, I decided to try mate 10 pro & it delivered wt it promised great camera , battery & fantastic performance but the software is a little disappointing so, I want to ask u guys about the note9 did they figure out to make the phone non stuttery or is it just another stuttrry samsung phone ?
Last point [note 9 (8gb version)=813$ in my country/mate 20 pro 880$(6gbversion) ]
So, what would you pick & why ?
Sorry to make it such long thread.
Thx in advance
Been using the Note 9 since it's August launch. The phone doesn't really stutter and is pretty smooth overall. The camera is absolutely fantastic although the Mate 20 Pro does have a few tricks up it's sleeve that might make it a better overall shooter than the Note 9.

Thx , but what about the battery performance is consistent? & Which version of the note 9 did you use exynos or snapdragon?6 or 8 gb of ram.
Had the 20 pro and didn't like it due to the software. Now have the note 9 512gb and 5 stars so far fast never had a closed app. Battery is OK depends what you do but watching filmes for 3 hrs phone texts mail browsing and social network get about 6 to 7 SOT.

I have the Exynos with 8GB RAM/ 512 GB storage. It's not as fast as the Snapdragon but more than good enough for everything I use it for on a daily basis. I don't game much on the phone but am a heavy duty user of phone calls, emails, office applications, YouTube and WhatsApp. The phone works perfectly well. I often find myself needing to charge the phone after about 10 hours off the charger but that's probably due to my heavy screen on usage and range anxiety.

It was... A lot of people and reviewers say that the Samsung experience a clunky and laggy a to be fair was the thing I really missed. And when the new one UI comes in January one hand operation will be the best... Kudos for Samsung to try make it better... Only fast updates will be the one thing to be sorted.

Which one of them u feel more snappy & smooth performance? What about battery performance of note 9?
Hi,
I hopw my review would help someone.
I had Mate 20 Pro and I can say the pictures are awesome and that's it. Battery helds 7hrs+ SoT and that would be all the pro points.
Against would be the unconfortable design which is slimer and longer than S9+ or Note 9 (I have S9, S9+ and Note 9 and previous i had S8 and S7, S6 and S6 Edge).
Against also the EMUI software on top of Android Pie which os uncnfortable to use.
Beside this, the software update is horrible, worst than Samsung. Top device but latest update from October 1st and we are already in December?!
Customer support from Huawei is unexistent. They don't know nothing never.
I bought something from Huawei AppStore (like GalaxyApps) but i wasn't able to use due to an issue..neither support knew..speachless.
Also the Huawei firnware finder doesn't compare to Samfirm or Odin. Huawei firmware softwate is terrible than everythink you can imagine.
And i got back Mate 20 Pro and got a Note 9 512GB with 8GB RAM and works perfectly.
I get good pictures, fiability, 6hrs+ SoT, infinit themes and stability. I am pleased.

I agree with this. EMUI is horrible. Terrible experience. I was using P10 and P20. On P10 is nougat 7.0 out of the box. Huawei updated it to Oreo 8.0. They just skip 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. Plus Huawei close the door to any development after they make bootloader unlock code unavailable. The most annoying part was EMUI keep killing the background process. Sometimes notification will arrive late or u need to open back the app to receive notification. I think this is why huawei devices have good battery by killing all the background process. Well just a thought.

emui is more efficient because they disable services and sync within apps. it's a serious problem i had on my mate 10

I ove TouchWiz bec. it is free u can do whatever you want within it but my hate point is that it is unable to maintain its performance in day to day usage it is inconsistent if they solve that after the s8+ it would be great I really want that 8gb version & that monster storage but I am afraid of that lag & stutter
I will try to upload video today to show you lag & stutter of my previous s8+ .

i had the note4, note5, s8, note8 and now note9.
i can safely tell you that all the lag is FINALLY gone. the s9/note9 era fixed that issue. it always bothered me on the note8 to have that lag/stutter. between that and the tiny battery i couldn't bear it.
note9 rocks!

Thanks man .
TL;DR Samsung rocks, EMUI makes it hard to like the Huawei
I currently have the Note 9 8gb version 9601U and I have the Mate 20 Pro 8gb version. I like the Samsung better.
Both show no lag whatsoever but the Huawei has some quirks that I just can't deal with. For 8gb it shuts down apps I have running in the background that it should not. The Huawei also doesn't play well with my Android auto. I often have to disconnect and reconnect to get it to work.
EMUI is just too different for me. This is the first phone in the hundreds I've owned that I installed Nova launcher. Battery life on both phones was comparable. Charging too as I didn't have the adapter for my super fast charger to plug the Mate into a US outlet.
Reverse charging was kinda cool but did not use it as often as I thought. My kids have gotten more responsible with charging their own devices. The fingerprint sensor wasn't as accurate as I'd hoped either. The slowness I expected but often times I'd have to reposition or wipe off my finger to get it to work.
The camera on the Huawei was about as awesome as you would expect. The best feature on this phone by far. I also felt it was a better looking device but that is it's only real advantage to me.
The final straw came when I noticed it would shut off my VPN in the background a couple times a day. That was absolutely unacceptable. Even with the Killswitch on, it completely shut down the VPN app so it bypassed the apps Killswitch function. No way I can deal with that.
The Samsung does everything great. If it's not the best at something, it's really close. It has very few bugs that I've noticed which is very refreshing. And all the features on the phone and in its Experience software have been great. I just wish it didn't try to force it's Samsung apps on me but that is easily disabled and ignored. Also no lag whatsoever. And its RAM is incredible. Apps that a used days ago are waiting fir me in the state I left it. It shocks me sometimes, lol.
Sorry for the long post.
A query before purchase
Hi guys,
I am planning to purchase S10 here in India and would like to know about overall experience of yours using the device so far. I have been watching a lot of reviews and it seems exynos version being sold in India is really bad when compared to that of Snapdragon version especially battery life and camera quality. Also I see a lot of people mentioning about device overheating ,is this true ?
How do you feel using the mobile ? I was using OnePlus 5 before. I want to buy an android that offers complete package (Camera, Battery life, stereo speakers , design etc..) and don't see other company apart from Samsung offering this. I am a huge fan of Sony and had of their devices before OnePlus 5 but Sony doesnt sell their latest flagships anymore in India.
Please tell your opinion guys !!!!! can be helpful for me Is Samsung Galaxy S10 worth for what we pay for or Shall I think about Note 9 ? (I need a minimum of 1 day batter life , I dont mind charging every morning before going to office but battery should last for atleast 20 hours ...I am not a gamer or a power user but i use around 200 apps in mobile )
I can decide buying the S10 (normal one) or the Huawei P30 Pro.
What are your experiences with the phone so far?
Would you buy it again or should I go for the P30 Pro?
Hey mate. I was also struggling about Huawei P30 Pro. I have a S10 exynos, and my main problems with it are: battery, and camera. I was thinking a lot about exchanging my phone for P30 Pro, because of that camera and battery. But I made small research about P30 Pro, and... it's not a perfect phone. There is no perfect phone.
Check out forum about P30 Pro on XDA, and there are people complaining about different things of Huawei.
Those two last post from leoni1980 and Ady1976 kinda opened my eyes. They made really good points.
link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ra-samples-t3916240/post79424402#post79424402
I think I'll stick to my S10, and I hope Samsung will improve night mode and the new charging speed will make the experience with Samsung better.
What are my favourite things about S10? First of all, the screen. It's great, the highest resolution is nice, but my top feaute is the reduction of blue light. Even youtubers are starting to inform about blue light and what harm can it do. Also the stereo speakers are really nice. I enjoy using OneUI with gestures and onehand+ app. No buttons on my screen, but also no one besides me know how to operate my phone Inscreen fingerprint is not perfect, but i like its position and that it can be used with wet fingers. Though my isn't always working. Huawei's interface isn't that nice from what I read.
Overall, it's a good phone, but not perfect. On some aspects Samsung didn't do their best, especially with the whole Exynos vs Snapdragon topic. And I think I'll stick with my S10, instead of trying to change it for P30 Pro.

Do not know about the P30 but I have had my S10 Snapdragon for about a month and a half. I also have the Pixel 2...
Love the S10 ..the Pixel 3a is due out anytime now and the 4 is due out in October and both will have a better camera vs the S10.
It really depends on what is important to you?
Camera? Always having the most updated software? UI ? Cost?
Do you use the Gear S3 watch? Etc, etc...
Sammy offers a nice trade in deal if you have the current S8 or S9 as well.

thanks for your replies guys .. I bought it yesterday for very cheap and I´m in love with it
Congrats and welcome aboard!
I'm really tempted to order the Samsung S10 5G now from Verizon as it has just about everything I could hope for. Huge screen, huge battery (largest yet), great cameras, faster charging, etc. My only qualm is that the upcoming Note 10 5G may have 2 things I'm willing to pay for. That's UFS 3.0 and hopefully a 12GB of RAM option. I highly doubt that the Note 10 is going to have a bigger battery or even better Camera's. I also know that the next gen Snapdragon (865) that combines 2g to 5g with the X55 and power saving doesn't come out till early 2020 so there isn't too much to look forward to in the Note 10 5G with processing power. I know the Fold had UFS 3.0 and 12GB of RAM.
So what are the chances of the Note 10 getting UFS 3.0 and a 12GB variant?
Are any of you waiting for the same reasons?
What's your thoughts?
Appreciate your time.
Hope you got the s10 5G, either way, they're practically same phone, same specs, note 10 has its stylus, but the s10 5G has better battery, but the note 10 is cheaper

Note 10 is cheaper? It's not available on Note 10 first of all, only on Note 10+. Battery is 45W fast charging and 20W wireless, so 200 mAh less but will charge faster, not sure it's "better". Finally 12GB RAM and SD card expansion, NOT the same phone at all.
I have the S10 5G. Pre-ordered the Note 10+ 5G. Totally don't know what to do. I feel the only real advantage for my S10 is the headphone jack I never use. Battery is great, but I don't have an issue charging throughout the day, so I'm good with a touch smaller. I think the 12GB of RAM in the Note is huge. I understand the Note's stereo speakers kill the S10s. Looking for a video review from someone, haven't seen anything yet.

How is it an advantage if you never use it? Agree with the 12GB of RAM along with SD card expansion.....
I hope Sam gives us users a TOF face unlock at some point. Also the updated DeX I'm sure someone will rip it, and be able to install in the s105G along with the gaming streaming
Only thing about the new note is what 5g chip they decide to put in it. There is no 5g in my area I'm sure there wont be for sometime. I got this phone for the bigger screen mostly along with the TOF on the front.
I do use my 3.5 jack all the time. I do wish it had an SD card.
I wish there was a ribbin cable that connected to usb-c with a female input for charging. That way you could just hide a SD card inside your case. I looked all over the net no one has ever made such a thing.

256gig of memory space isnt enough? i do like the note 10's 12gig ram though, then again i do feel its an overkill!, im looking forward to its worldwide release, i wont buy it, just know that hackers would strip its 3D scan features so the s10 5G can use it, sammy wouldnt put out an update, im sure of this
Byers regret
I currently have the S10 5g , the Verizon Version however i am using it on Xfinity Mobile and it is not going well at all. I really am frustrated with Samsung for making the 5g so hard to use on any network.
I dont care about 5g speeds but i love the screen size and battery life on the 5g, plus i think the 5g camera is the best of all the models.
I recently placed a preorder for the note 10 512gb and i was all excited about the phone but once i got it, the excitement faded away within 2 days. The note 10 has terrible battery life and it just simply reminded
me of my 5g with an s pen so i returned it.
I am back to the 5g but it is quite challenging trying to get this device to work properly on xfinity mobile. The xfinity sim will work but the APN settings are not correct and cannot be changed and because of this,
mms attachments will not download. I have the 5g verizon 256gb version G977u and currently on update version G977UVR2YSHY. i would like to try the ATT firmware but i have not been successful in finding
any U2 Roms as the U1 roms always fail. I am a Newbie so any assistance would be appreciated as i love my 5g. Just wish it was the 512gb model

Hello, could you recommend a gamedpad for the Note 20 ultra?
I'm going green on this issue, I've seen that Samsung released the Dragon slay titan glap some time ago, how's that going?
Do you recommend another?
Thanks
I recommend the Razer Kishi, it fits snuggly, USB C connection do lag input lag to speak of, and it feels comfortable and solid while holding it.
