Is the Note 10+ 5G worth the extra 200 you think?

The normal Note10+, the Note10+ 5G has an extra chip in it apparently to allow the OTHER band of 5G.

This being said, 5G is not in San Antonio yet... sooo, its future proofing.

There's no such thing as "future proofing" a cellphone as long as the batteries are designed to shit the bed after ~500 charge cycles.

It's not worth it then. A new phone will come along without the early adopter fee before you even have access to 5G.

I used to be the guy that upgrades every year, but I am slowing down. I am coming from a Note8, So I will most likely have this next phone for 2-3 years.

Sadly as Whisky(the right was to spell it) stated, the batteries aren't meant to last and mine is getting to the point that I HAVE to now charge it at work or I will be going home with a dead phone.

More so, If I go fully charge and say, turn over and spend 20 minutes in bed on social media and reading the news, I will be down to like 85-90%.

No phone without a headphone jack is worth considering.

As an audiophile I agree, however as time goes on, that is going to be a thing of the past on flagship phones. So might as well make the jump now than later.

S20 series is being released later this month, and leaker specs is showing it to be a beast.
Like far outpacing anything on the market right now.

I am an note man, had every one up to note8. The S series don't do it for me.

Unless they add a second USB-C port so I can charge and use wired headphones at the same time, I'm not buying a phone without a headphone jack. I'm putting this downgrade off for as long as possible.

Just use bluetooth, you can get cheap, good quality sound earphones that last all day now.

Bluetooth will never be as good as analog with a DAC/AMP

Do you carry a DAC with you when you go out? At home you shouldn't be using phone audio anyway.

Why would I do that when I can use wired headphones that sound better, don't have lag, don't do lossy audio compression, last far longer than a day, and don't have a battery that'll inevitably fail and disable it?
