The Note Series NEVER Fails to Impress Me

Phone owned for less than a month

I wanted to wait several months after the Note 10's initial release to purchase it due to it's high starting price, and it's probably the best $700 I've spent on an open-box device! Upon setup and restoring apps on my phone, the process was fairly swift since I was coming from another android device. The phone's design and other physical aesthetics were nothing short of amazing, and I've started to live with Bluetooth earbuds anyways, so the lack of a headphone jack doesn't really bother me.

I'm still pretty floored with how the heck I can use 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, but I think the abundance is just amazing since I do a lot of social media, web browsing, and some work-related tasks such as editing documents and composing some emails. The extra SD card slot makes the phone even better if you're a media hog (I'm guilty of it). The camera's capabilities never fall short of excellent, where my friends always come around my camera when it's time to shoot photos and videos. I popped in my T-Mobile SIM card, and the call quality and data connections are great, without a single dropped call or hitch when browsing the web. Battery life is good based on how I use my phone throughout the day. I can make it through 5PM with approximately 40-50% battery life remaining (start time is 8AM).
The Samsung One UI 2.0 hasn't bogged down the phone's performance from what I've seen, and the customization options from themes to wallpapers, to the settings are all endless, and that's what makes this phone one of the best Android devices I've seen out there for productivity. The new and improved S Pen is great, and have no complaints when using it whatsoever. I have fairly good penmanship, so I rely on the Note series for accuracy of my writing, and it's pretty much spot on now with the additional levels of pressure and sensitivity.

The only issues I'm seeing so far is finding a tempered glass screen protector that's reliable for the device, so I'm sticking with the manufacturer-provided plastic one for now.

Between the monstrous PC-like hardware with an amazing camera, I would definitely recommend this phone to any power user who has high expectations with photography and/or a phone that can multitask for professional-related activities!
