I recently put my sim back in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus for an upcoming Android Police article, and I'm not saying you don't gain a lot by buying newer phones. I'm just saying the gap isn't what people think. It's why longer software support is important, and you can easily get by with a Note 10 Plus in 2024...even if you're an enthusiast.

Still perfectly usable 5 years later!
No lie?
@@derricknyakundi1985No
@@derricknyakundi1985 Yup! Still using my Galaxy S10+. Chat GPT and all the other new AI features work. The S10+ is slightly older than the Note 10+
@StevealiciousTech Indeed, I just updated both devices recently, both still run smooth, feature packed, and DEX is still performing optimal on both as well!
What I hate is that most companies dont care about the huge amount of electronuc waste. I love this phone. I wish companie were more environmentally responsible and stop making so much JUNK
My Note 9 is over 6 years old and is still working beautifully. I still use everyday.
I moved back to my note 9 after my moto fading phone died and would have been happy to use it but it did not work with Duo so I decided to get a 10 plus and if I'm honest I'm not going back to a new phone £150 in great condition runs well not crashed once battery been great and not really noticed it being slow even in video editing
My Note 4 is over 10 years old and is still working beautifully. I still use everyday. :D
@@mr.morningstar2023 Only problem is the Note 4 which I had too was great, it doesn't get updates is outdated AF, and is a security risk. Having a phone updateded to the LATEST security patches is really critical now with all the hacking and flaws with that old phone has NO blocks for today.
@@johnszatkowski6898 With quantum computer that was launched everyting is a security risk. Crypto, new technology pcs laptops smartphones desktops tablets etc.
One company was able to build it, foren countries that print money out of air can afford it to build it too. That means: Friendlies, neutrals, & bad guys.
Was feeling nostalgic when I fired up my Note 10 + a few weeks ago. It looked and felt like new again.
How many minutes does it take to charge from 20 to 80 at the moment? Is 50 minutes normal for me? 2 years ago it was 35 minutes.
@Fiyontek hi. I tested with a super fast charger and it around 30 to 35 minutes.
@@vincentkong07029 I'm pretty sure I have 50 minutes. But I bought a new battery. They say that the real value of the battery will be known after 2 weeks. Is this true?
The one phone I regret getting rid of. It was the best phone I ever owned, but I fell into the trap of wanting the latest and greatest.

What phone do you have now?
I never turn in my phones there's a reason why they want your phone- they wanted my s23, pixel 7 but I said no
Same here, had the Aura Glow color. Best phone I had. Shouldn't had traded it in for S22ultra.
The same, I wanted Note 10 Plus, but bought s21..
My partner uses the Note 10 plus and myself the Note 20 Ultra. Love the phones.
I'm currently trying to decide between refurbished versions of these two phones! Can I ask whether you notice significant differences in batter life or camera quality, those are the main things I'm concerned about.
@katrinaxharhus3747 Personally I'm not a heavy user but yes there are differences especially night shots between the Note 10 and 20. If you're an average user like myself then you'd be happy with the Note 10. Reason I went with the Note 20 coz I dropped the Note 10 and it has a minor scuff at the bottom right of the phone and I'm fussy so I gave my wife the Note 10 as her second phone and I got the Note 20. Battery life the Note 20 is better but not significantly. But then again, it depends on the user. I could go on the whole day with Note 20 as well as I could with the Note 10. Where as my wife needs to charge hers during the day. By the way she leaves her phone on 24/7 and she installs apps that could affect the battery life in the background.
For peace of mind, I think you should go with the Note 20.
There are people that can say why not get s23 24 etc... I don't need those extra touches of features. I'm very content with the Note 20. I won't be upgrading anytime soon, it does the job and I'm satisfied with it.
Note10+was such a good phone, i traded it off for s22u, but doesnt feel much different. Now I m using this z fold5, and the excitement starts afresh. I think the new age will belong to foldable, rollable or something even more radical
I've seen many people switch to the Folds, especially people from iPhone. It surprises me though, because those are kind of expensive, and not exactly the most secure. But man do they look cool
I miss mine in Aura Glow, a phone truly ahead of its time!
That was a nice color!
My cell carrier forced me off of my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Aura glow. They kicked it off the network as too old!
I had to get the 24 Ultra +. I refused to trade in the Note 10 +. It's sitting on the end table right next to me as I type this.
I loved that phone and still use it on wifi!
@@LightoftheMoon oh wow, what carrier?
@@pettigrew95 Spectrum
I still got mines somewhere lol
I just love my Note 10 plus, Sometimes I look at it and just think I'm still in love with this phone 5 years later 😂😂
I honestly love my note 10 plus. I got mine for 160$ 5 months ago and i fell in love again like i did when i first got it when it came out. Using developer options makes it fly. I'm making a Samsung eco desktop and this thing has dex. It still keeps up with newer phones. And I'm going to use it until the wheels fall off
Note 10+ is the best phone I've ever used. Best designed Samsung phone IMO, especially the Aura Glow color. I had the black one. The 12GB of RAM, along with 256GB of internal storage, SD card support, build and the display made for one fantastic device. Note 10+/S10+ was peak Samsung IMO.
Nope was garbage at launch
Lol yawn
yup I still love this phone... I have mine still working 5 yrs+, but I gave it to my wife and she loves the screen resolution, camera and stylus for the 1st time. And most specially, I love this unit as this was the last Note phone that has expandable storage because this has SD card slot. WISH SAMSUNG BRINGS IT BACK TO THEIR PHONES --- EXPANDABLE STORAGE!
Still rocking it till date
Same here! This was Samsung's Golden era.
You must be young@@OneNiftyBoi
My note 10 plus aura glow was my favorite phone of all time! I bought a replacement for the one I cracked and i still use it on wi fi. 5 years old and still better than any iPhone.
Still using mine✨it's hard to let go
If you wanna sell it, I'm interested in it
Is battry is good?
My daily driver is the Aura Blue Galaxy Note 10+. Since 8/23/19....day one. And it's still the best phone I have ever owned. There are way too many compromises to make from this generation of phones.....Micro SD card slot, headphones and a charger in the box. This phone isnt really that way off from features in today's phones that makes me still want to upgrade. and for my money it is a beast of a phone.....even 5 years on!
Honestly i swear these old Samsung get better signal than the newer Samsung phones.
I thought it was just me😂
Still have mine as a backup. I have it in the original Dex dock connected to my TV. Use it for retro gaming and basic computing tasks.
Using my s8+ for 7 years. Working still nicely. Gets 5h+
Still using it and I wouldn't even consider switching if not for the battery Life. Nowadays I have to top it up at least once to handle the day... But man, it's a beauty.
Yes it is. I got the aurora glow and I love it.
Get the battery changed and it be all good again.
Just buyed a note 10, that's insane, totally unexpected, doing good with all the newer app and upgrade, it's worth it to buy one now guys
Please answer how was the battry life ?
the sd card slot is the one option that i wish samsung never took away
I agree
That's part of the reason why I'm not getting rid of my note 10 plus
I think this phone may be my favorite phone that I ever bought NEW. Either it, or the OnePlus5T. I got excited for the ZFold 3 and traded mine in. But man, the Note 10+ was it. Can't believe it's 5yrs old now. I'm sure the 10+ is still quite usable. Heck, up until just a couple months ago, I was still using a Note 9 as my work phone. Note9...another one. Most complete phone ever sold. Cheers.
Still got mine in November of 2024...Working flawlessly. 💯👍🏾
The issue with old flagships aside from old software is battery life. I used to buy old flagships to save money, but now I just buy solid midrange phones like the A52 and later on the A55.
android 12 on note 10plus was the most stable version. it has a lot of great features no random restart no freezing. note10plus beats newer iphone plus models with 60hz displays
The Note10+ was a great phone. It is the first Android phone that got me to switch from an iPhone. I still have mine in the Aura Blue color.
It's my favorite color that I had. I wish I never upgraded it to the S22 ultra. Right now, I'm considering purchasing a factory sealed note 10 plus since I lost my S22 ultra Sunday night
How many minutes does it take to charge from 20 to 80 at the moment? Is 50 minutes normal for me? 2 years ago it was 35 minutes.
Took some comparison pictures between my S9+, Note 10+, and S23 Ultra. The S9 definitely aged but still produced pretty good looking pictures. Note 10+ and S23 Ultra pictures look different in colors, with the Note producing much deeper blues in the sky and greener grass and the Ultre looking more natural, quality was better on the S23 Ultra especially in ultrawide, and of course zoom is better though i found specifically 2x zoom looks better on the Note with slightly less detail but far less oversharpening. Note 10+ holds up very well.
It does!
Get galaxycam the pixel port to s9+ it’s gcam takes better photos than my note10+ mind you haven’t tried too hard
Wish i never traded my note 10+ for the note 20. I saw the differences and by far note 10 was the best ive had. Now im using a fold 4 and want to go back to a slab
Why? I’m using the note10+
My recent phone list has been: Note 8 -> Note 10plus -> S23U
The upgrade from 8 to the note 10 plus was a big upgrade. The upgrade to the 23u wasn't as big, what really irked me was the battery in the Note 10+, I would always be on power saving mode, and it would need charged by the end of the day. Apart from that it was a great phone.
Good video as per usual mate
Mine also lets me down on battery performance
I had an S10 plus.. One of the best devices I've ever owned.
Definitely!
Even thou I have gone to S23 ultra which is the most insane upgrade from S10+, I still keep the phone to remind me the day Samsung transition into new generation, even the unpacked event at the time is the best one ever.
Is battry life was good?
As someone who is a predominant iPhone user. When I made the switch from the iPhone to the galaxy S8 plus I always felt like something was missing then I went back to iPhone, then the galaxy note 10+ was released and that was my favorite phone release from Samsung ever. Fast-forward from 2019 to 2023 I have been in love with my galaxy S 23 ultra like crazy. I honestly miss the microSD card slot and the s pen on the right side like every day.
Still using the Note9. Aftet the Note9, Samsung avoided to make the Phone that end consumers want. Hopefully Huawei will change their philosophy. I am stuck to Samsung because of the Note lines and their S-Pen. Otherwise...
Same here, Note 9!! Got the wife a Note 10 plus when she dropped her Note 9 in water and fried it! The Note 10 is amazing!!
I'm still using my note10+, still rocking solid.. the only reason to upgrade is the software which last updated to android 12 with oneui 4.1 😊
I like that you have the starwars edition.
I got my Note 10 Plus in July and it's been serving me so well. It's my daily driver.
My Note 10+ is still putting up decent performance, gives me 7-8 hours SOT, and takes really good pictures.
I'll continue using this phone until I can afford Samsung S23 Ultra.
S23 Ultra > S24 Ultra IMHO
So the battry is good ?
@@ucbeki
Yeah, the battery is average now... it gives me around 6 hours SOT with moderate use.
@@oluwaseunbernald7698thanks brother
Good video! The Note 9 and S9 Plus cameras with the variable aperture lenses are still good as well. No extra wide camera or extensive zoom capabilities, but they still get the job done.
2:20 Talk about old phone, the bezels look amazing!
How many minutes does it take to charge from 20 to 80 at the moment? Is 50 minutes normal for me? 2 years ago it was 35 minutes.
I'm still using my Note10 plus aura glow until Friday when I switch to the Iphone16PM. I've had it since it's birth Aug 2019. I'm switching to try something new and to FaceTime my family particularly my grandma. I'll still be keeping my Note10 plus as a back-up phone. She's still running great but doesn't get anymore updates. Also the battery life isn't that great.
Hey good video and the other day I powered up my Galaxy S9 and I've been using it for the last 2 days just to check it out you know what it's still a really good phone yeah it's not a zippy as the newer phones and I think the camera is actually still pretty decent The speakers are definitely still good I have to say I really like the design and my S9 now with curves on both sides it's kind of sweet looking with the purple back. I get 4 hours of screen time out of it so I don't know you could literally use this phone now maybe banking apps are the only thing that wouldn't work cuz it's on Android 10 but besides that it's it's a nice phone what 6 years later.
Definitely, we've lost a little something with the newer designs.
I agree, good video on a classic device. The Note 9 and S9 Plus cameras are good as well. The introduction to the variable aperture was not a gimmick. No extra wide camera but still decent nevertheless.
The biggest problem with Note 10+ is the screen which is 60 Hz, unfortunately. Back in the 2019 - OP7 Pro got 90Hz screen which makes it more future proof. Anyway, N10+ is still great phone due to good processor, still fast UFS 3.0 memory and really small bezels around the screen
I had this, and then the Note 20 Ultra a couple years later, and now the iPhone 14 Pro. I got this back out of the drawer a couple days ago and am seriously considering going back to it. I am SO sick of the giant mess of cameras on the backs of all phones making everything thicker and / or not lay flat.
I still got my Note 4 that i bought in April 2015. Even after 9 and a half years it's still working fine and i use it as my work phone. The other phone i own is the S22 Ultra that i bought in September 2022.
Typing from my Pixel 3. Still works great after 6 years.
@@Andor1980 oh... the great bath tub phone. I know people raved about the Pixel 2 camera but I thought the 3 had SUCH good cameras!
Bro how.. I just got done using my pixel 2 xl for two months as a throwback and it is definitely struggling. It has a custom ROM and everything but it's noticably slower than my 5a, which feels brand new after using my 2 xl for that long. It sucks because I like the screen and body of the 2 xl more and it just reminds me of the lg v30 I used to have and loved, but it's a struggle to use it
@@Apathy474have you tried a factory reset?
@@AzureRT456 just put the custom ROM on it a few months ago. Its not laggy like how Samsung's used to be back in the day, UI and home screen and normal single app usage is more than fine, but I like to use UA-cam PIP and Google maps while doing other things and it hangs for a while when first starting up maps and slows down a bit when multitasking like that
@@jebaker2pixel 2 and 3 had the same camera.
I have Note10 plus, Note 20 ultra, S23ultra and now the S24 ultra. I love them all. Still using them all.
Mind if I ask the biggest differences you notice between the note 10 plus and note 20 ultra? I'm looking at refurbished phones and I'm wondering about battery life and camera quality mostly
I visited my brother for thanksgiving up in north Texas from south Texas. Had a few things in storage at his house, Note 10+ and iPhone 12 Pro Max. I brought them back with me. Both are still great devices, but the Note 10+ is actually the one that’s still very amazing.
Miss the S-Pen on my S24+, so I’ve been using that more around the house, especially for Penup and Samsung Notes.
Great quality builds from both.
I have a question ⁉️🤔
Now it's 2024, is the battery 🔋 life still good now? Or does it need a battery 🔋 replacement? I know the system is outdated,but the important thing to me is the battery 🔋 life 😅
Typing from my s9+ ....
3 month ago changed the battery with a new one , and backup is better now ...
..I will still upgrade to s25ultra
You said it got its last security patch in August. I'm impressed that Samsung went beyond their promise and gave it an extra year of security patch. Even though the version of Android its running is older, it's not really missing out on much, as most of the core One UI stuff are still the same. For the AI stuff, you can fill that gap with Chat GPT, Copilot, and Gemini. For magic eraser, I also have it in the premium version of Google photos.
My S10e is still pushing strong. The 10 series was peak galaxy imo.
Had my note 10 plus for a couple years and it's a great phone. Unfortunately between over charging and maxing the storage out over the years has done a toll to overall performance. That being said still great phone and I still got a note 3 I'll put a sim into and rock it for a couple months just to switch it up that is a solid phone to this day.
Thanks for making us all happy with this one Steve :) Of course I still have mu Aura White Note 10 Plus. I will never let it go. Best phone I think I ever owned or used. With as a close second the S21 Ultra...
Just replaced my old battery and refuse to let this phone die--the S23 and S24 Ultras are just too expensive still for me to bother with at this point in time and I am solidly married to the S Pen for loads of things. Having that micro SD for more storage is an absolute game changer.
where'd you replace your battery friend?
Note 10 plus could have easily gotten One UI 6.1 even without the AI features
I have the snapdragon cpu I can't find a way to upgrade 🦍
I always wanted this edition of Note 10 plus
Came back to mine around a month ago when my laptop died . Been using it as a pc replacement using dex. Works great for most things aside from the one mobile game i play Yugioh Master Duel. Manily use it for UA-cam and emulation.
All cellphones are still usable as long as they continue to get software / security updates, 5 years later I still rock my S9+ even though Samsung quit support 10 months after I bought it. STuck with Android 10 and No updates and no security updates for more than 3 years. Just bought a brand new S21 fe factory unlocked and boxed for $210us It supposed to get updates for another 2 years
I traded mine in towards the S24U earlier this year. Admittedly I had upgraded to the zfold4 18 months prior, so was sitting in a draw gathering dust. So traded in Note10+ and sold zfold privately
Design wise it was ahead of it's time IMO and like you say holds up to modern smartphone devices. Shame it only got 4 years OS and Security updates. Loved the phone, S24U doesn't feel much different by comparison, just more utd hardware (processors/ ram etc) and software
Coming from a current A12, I'm most looking at this for the storage upgrades. My current phone has just 3gb ram and 32gb of storage. I really can't have ANY apps on it anymore. So I'm drooling over the storage personally.
As far as updates, I mean I guess that's annoying. But honestly, is it really THAT important? Like, what are people missing out on with no updates? Because I have one of these in my cart waiting to hit the buy button.
i still have my note 10plus,i also got goodlock, goodlock is a must for all Samsung phones,i got home screen 7x7 ,pop up folder is just like the pixel
Wow nice one. I like how you review d older phone ❤❤❤❤❤
This is my favorite note. it's perfect no major issues like green lines or screen flickering, aside from not having a headphone jack.
❤ My Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus ❤
Maybe not Note but had my S10e with 6GB ram till last month, released in 2019, and still sold it for nearly £100, cause it looked like new, whole time kept in case and with screen protector. Battery replaced once, small phone 5.8 inch small battery, great photos, I'm not a phone gamer, but for photos, emails, yt, news and communictors it was brilliant. Unfortunately security patches end up in March 2023, so I had to change for newer.
I have a note 10+ note 20 ultra and the s24U. Not really liking the S24.
I loved the look of the note 20 ultra. That camera module was so nice.... just slick....
I got s9+, s10, note 10+ and iphone11. How’s the note 20 ultra compared?
@ro4lol I can't compare it to a iPhone 11 but I love the 20u and the fact that I can tap to pay on POS terminals that cashier say it doesn't work like at home depot. I'm trying not to carry a wallet anymore using Samsung wallet in which the S24 will let you add your drivers license and that function isn't available on the N20.
@arctictruck10 wait! are you using the s24u for tap to pay at home depot??? wow teach me asap lol
@shedricowens7115 No, only my Note 10+ and Note 20U can do this. Samsung removed RMS feature at the S20U.
In my opinion you should hold onto your old flagship for as long as you can
Well said. Unfortunately my lumia 950 didn't hold up as well, though it still works.
It is my daily phone.I mean look at the specs -4 k video recording -256gb internally ,12 gm ram +sdcard storage .Are you kidding?I think about to change the rom to a newer one (android 15 )but i will lose knox feature .Still thinking
I bought this for my dad's birthday brand new when it first released and he won't trade it in he loves it still
4.5 hours of screen time is wild in comparison to my S22. I might not be able to hold onto it for 5 to 6 years like my previous Mate 10 Lite.
If I remember right it was the Snapdragon 845 and the 855 those two chip sets are the ones that made the huge leap in speed and processing power for the flagships they still hold their own today
Still using mine. Replaced the water damaged lcd myself. Fast enough for what I use it for. Mine doesn't have 5G so theres that. Also battery does not last as long, after 5 years. Outstanding quality phone.
A high end device....really love the Note 10+ way back ...but had to upgrade to the 20 Ultra for its incredible display, powerful performance and the flexibility of the S Pen. The phone makes multitasking so smooth and the camera quality captures every detail beautifully. It’s like having a mini-computer with me all the time..
any screen burning issue ? especially on gesture pill bar and statusbar?
Nice bring backs memories this was my first 5G phone, and my first introduction to Samsung Dex
Still using Note 10+ as my daily driver.
As with all Samsung phones I've owned the hardware still works flawlessly. The only issues are ones Samsung has introduced with OTA updates which have broken compatibility with many of the devices I previously used it with such as thermal cameras, microscopes, telescopes, etc.
Breaking compatibility with perfectly working hardware is the bane of my existence...but original battery still working absolutely great.
I never charge above 85% and never let it drop below 15% except in an absolute emergency. The only thing that will make me a buy a newer phone is when all my apps stop working with older versions of Android. Most still do, but I do have a few apps that refuse to work on the Note 10+.
Forced obsolescence is super frustrating.
Please can the Samsung note 10 plus switch users?
@@OmotaraEmmanuel You joined UA-cam 2 weeks ago just to write a comment that makes absolutely no sense?
@@PowerScissor I just asked a question
What apps are not compatible with the note 10+?
@@katrinaxharhus3747 If you just use standard, current apps, social media, etc you wont have any issues.
I have quite a few apps I use in my work that connect to proprietary heavy equipment, tools, etc. The apps are old, no longer updated, and the people that made them are not even in the industry any longer.
It's super frustrating when a forced update renders older apps unusable. I didn't find out until I was on a job doing a thermal inspection of undergroud piping and all these types apps refused to open and Android just says they are no longer compatible, with zero workarounds I always keep 2 or 3 older phones where I've blocked updates around, but eventually those will die and I'll have tens of thoussnds of dollars of equipment that will be unusable purely because they won't be allowed to run on any current Android devices available. I'm sure I'll be able to pay a developer to get something working when that happens...but it's still frustrating.
I'm still using a few Note 4's in the field...and that's my favorite phone in the whole Note lineup.
I have Action Launcher on mine.
Are there any other launchers i should check out?
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 this year. I also signed a 6 year contract with the Army National Guard. I'm hoping to keep this phone until my contract is up.
I have a s20+, and works like a charm. Not planning to waste money in a phone until this one blows up… love the microSD expansion card and DEX too.
WOW ! currently using S24 Ultra - will see how this one holds up down the line !
I'm still in love with my aura glow "small" Note 10. This Size combined with the S Pen =
Please can the Samsung note 10 plus switch users?
I agree, I'm so obsessed with the look of the phone too.
The force is definitely with this phone.
Still using it...really love the design. Feels amazing compared to what we have today.
@@StevealiciousTech it was a great phone!
I still use my 12/512GB issue daily. Battery lasts me all day. Camera is still great and apps are never laggy. I don't play games, so gaming speed is not an issue for me. Biggest issue is that the camera lens seems to attract dirt much more than it used to and needs cleaning more often.
How updated is the security is it safe to use after 2024
Mine is still Mint condition. Works just as well as it did on release day
Still upset I wasn't able to get this edition on launch
I still have my S10 plus as secondary phone. Only use it when my S24 ultra is out of battery. It is still hold up well. I can still play Genshin Impact on it. I just wish samsung still do collabs like your star wars note 10plus with their flagship S series.
Still using my Galaxy A71 which I purchased in 2020!! Still holding up!! 💪💪💪
Yep. Still carry my Note 10+ daily. The battery doesn't last as long as I would like anymore, but it is still perfectly functional.
I am STILL USING MINE NOW AND LOVE IT.
Still using one today! Works like a champ!
Miss new software updates though! 😢
Yeah, been over a year now. Sad.
If it weren't for an unfortunate run in with some very unforgiving marble flooring last year, I'd still be rocking mine.
Where can i get that wallpaper?
I'm using my husband's note 10 plus when he upgraded to s22 ultra. So basically 2nd user here! Battery life is still okay but if you want it to last the whole day while using the internet, have a battery case... I'm using the zero lemon batery case for it 10000mah and he also added 1tb sd card alongside the 512gb internal ... Gaming wise it's able to handle genshin etc. ,screen is great cause it's amoled 😊
I still have mines. I don't use it but it was The best phone I ever had a pound for pound. I jump from the Note 10 to the fold four
In my opinion the Note 10+ looks better than the S24U. I've heard people call the Ultra "timeless" or "sleek" or whatever the fuck. No it damn ain't. I also happen to see a N10+ case at Goodwill.
Lolllll
I lost mine after 5 years, don’t really have the budget for a flagship now, i'm considering re-buying a note 10+
My S10 never skipped a beat. Typing on it. Updates just ruined camera quality though, which was great to being with.
I still rock a pixel 4 xl, and I have a newer Moto edge Plus through dish's project Genesis. 99% of the time it feels the exact same. It just doesn't have a patched version of Android anymore. Unlimited photo storage is great.
I still use the Note 10 plus today....
