I'm still rocking it since I bought it in November 2020. It is starting to show its age, but there are no catastrophic flaws. I especially like the S Pen, and it's the reason why I bought this specific phone, to make nonograms. I would never return to a conventional smartphone, even if I have to start buying only second-hand ultras.

    Well to be honest stylus is a thing for people who cant use their hands.
    Becase sending a message or do just some quick internet search or reply to someone is not worth to pop up the S-Pen.

      Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that this is the only Samsung phone with a flagship processor (albeit a 2018 Note9 processor), an edge to edge Infinty O display, the S Pen, a MicroSD card slot, and a headphone jack.

      Every other Samsung phone drops one or some of those features

          Back in the day when Samsung provided headphone jack and microSD card.

            Samsung went from making the S Pen accessible to all to making it exclusive to select few who would be willing to pay a premium price. Please explain how this is a good move? Also, the S Pen is nothing new. It's been around for a few years now already. You would think it would start to trickle down to more affordable devices or even an A-device.

              And even cheaper was how the note 10 lite looked. At first one can confuse it for a $200 device

                "On the cheap" it was still too expensive for what it was only worth for

                  Good times

                    We don't need that useless gimmick on a cheaper phone
                    What we need is a new ultra but without the pen and maybe even a smaller variant
                    There's the S21 ultra sure, but that phone is 2 years old

                      Remember galaxy alpha? Which could use pen, even a normal bullpen on the screen.

                        I own samsung galaxy note 10 lite owner and big fan of samsung s pen. But unfortunately cant afford flagship stylus phones from Samsung. I request Samsung to release an A series model with s pen so that budget conscious buyers who are s pen fans can enjoy the s pen experience. Or S ultra's cheaper variant may be released to s pen fans who cant afford flagship models.
