I do use the S pen on my current note 8. But I just might go for the Note 9 than the Note 10+ for the time being. But Samsung Note will be the only way forward for me. I also do love the 2K display.

While 1080P is great but 1440p is definitely better when compared side by side and I've seen the difference, it is noticeable.

    I think it's a good decision to remove the obsolete headphone jack. Bluetooth audio is for 99,9% of the people sufficient and far more convenient. I'd never go back. And though it seems like a lot of people will not order the Note for that reason, I'm sure the numbers will prove different...it's a vocal minority that represents few potential buyers in reality.

      as you can tell by the name, i use the s-pen alot. that's true and i have got all the note series, except the note fe and note 3 neo, from the first one up to note 8. i even got the 2 notes in 2014- the note 4 and note edge and the tablet note 8.0 and 10.1 because of the s-pen. what has really prompted me from never getting the note 9 and this note 10 is the effing curved screen edges. i use the s-pen, s-note, and autodesk's sketchbook to sketch on the go, and the fricking curved edges effs up the whole thing. now i'm left to lugging a gargantuan ipad pro and the *name of the company that i refuse to mention* pencil.

Once you start pixel peeping latest Galaxies are one of the worst contender in the market because Samsung still uses live HDR algorithms that introduce tons of blotchy noises and mask them with tons of noise reduction and edge enhancement. Huawei is far less aggressive with sharpening and noise reduction so textures look more natural on P30 Pro.

                Best phone this year. Note 9 was a tank. This is a good sleek looking tank too. Work horse!

It wouldve been a different story if they didn't need to fit in a whole stylus. Other flagship phones today with phablet screen size being the norm have no excuse though.

                            Oh yea I agree the usb c dongles or USB headphones
                            won't exactly cut it either. At this point an external DAC/amp combo like from Fiio would be the ideal setup but its bulky.

Wait till repair comes and you have your ip-rating compromised/reduced because you need a new battery or some internal repairs. Unless you buy a new phone half a year later.

                              You are better off checking iFixit or Rossman.

                              Speaking of which, why are ugly cases which cover the beautiful glass back/edge screens, are popular among smartphone users if these things are truly durable?

The DAC embedded in the little USB connector that plugs into the phone is full of compromises; power supply/filtering being the worst. The phone needs to feed (what I assume is ) the I2S signal to an external stand-alone DAC with a proper headphone stage. The situation is as bad if you try to use the headphones that have their own DAC (again, embedded inside the USB -C connector). O

                                      For this alone, I bought a Note 9 that can output very decent analog out. It can hold its own compared with quite a decent external DAC's, and it has a decent drive for my HD650's.

                                      So, the phones that don't have analog out are in fact a very bad option for an audiophile, whichever way you look at it.
