I switched from the Galaxy Note 9 to the S10+ - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

Sold my Note 9 last night for the equivalent of 640 USD in my local currency. The retail price of the S10+ is 995 USD, but there's a pre-order cashback for about 70 USD, and the free Galaxy Watch (not Active, just a 42mm Watch) will help cover the difference. Never really cared much for the S Pen anyway; bought the Note 9 because of the massive battery and it was starting to disapppoint in that regard. Until the S10+ comes, I'll be back to my S7 (flat). Anyone else upgrading from the Note 9 to the S10+?

I also traded in my Note 9 EXynos for the S10+ 128gb Blue Unlocked Snapdragon! I never used the spen... ??

I always say I'm going to skip one of the models each year and I never do. I'm going from Note 9 to S10+ as well.

I can tell from your username lol.

Seems like an unnatural upgrade path unless you didn't rely on the S Pen. But then that raises the question, why buy a Note at all? I'm trading my Note 8 and plan on selling the S10 (waiting for N10). In the meantime I'll try to find a cheap N4 to sketch on.

Doing the dame thing here. Pre booked the 128/8Gb Prism White.

Preordered the s10 128gb version. As i live in Australia, I'll be getting the exynos variant.
For preordering, samsung is throwing galaxy buds on top for free - not bad at all.
Im interested to see how the snapdragon and the exynos versions compare in terms of performance. Will be upgrading from an A5 2017 which i have been barley using a year

trading in my note 9 for the s10+ white ceramic. I always wanted and liked the s pen but i still hardly use it. Bought the 10+ from samsung, unlocked. I was gonna give my note 9 to my gf but she's tired of the hand me downs ?. Maybe I'll get her the note 10

Doing the same with my note 9 for the plus will probably get the note 10 as well

Me too!
I just sold my note 9 to pick up the s10. I wanted a slightly less wide phone and barely used the s-pen. The S10 feels just right! I hope the battery is the same or better.

Same here. Leaving my note 9 to s10+.
I love the note serie. But the s10+ is a good compromise between note and galaxy serie. Plus the battery is massive and hopefully it feels this way.

I gave my two months old Note 9 to my younger brother and bought a new S10+ in blue I have to rock the S8 now and trade it in later

Same deal here. Sold my Note 9 and pre ordered the S10 plus 1TB in ceramic black.
Note 9 prices are in the toilet.

I ordered the S10 plus but am also keeping my copper Note 9...no way Im getting rid of this beauty!

Keeping my T-Mobile Note 9 but I'm gonna be using my S10E until I buy an Exynos Note 10 sometimes around February next year when prices will be right. I can't do this unlockable Samsung phone anymore since Google killed call recording. I can still do it on my Oreo Note 9 (not updating it anymore) and I still have my rooted One Plus 6T so call recording is still in my hands when I need it.
Reason I ordered the 10E is because of how great it felt in the hand when I was testing out the display unit at Best Buy last week. Just going to be nice to use a smaller phone like that for a while and get used to the new UI stuff, that great new camera stuff and the awesome new display tech.
The S-Pen is the main reason why I've been a Note user literally since the AT&T Note 1, so that's why I'm keeping the Note 9 around in case I get the itch to use it again. Plus, I have my Tab S4 which also has its own S-Pen.

I traded my Note 9 for the S10+. I'll probably still buy the Galaxy Note 10 too! :laugh:

I am trading in my note 8 for the plus, but I will always love the note series. I suspect I will be just as anxious to get the note 10 when it's announced and will probably give the wife the 10+ at that point and go back to the note series. You all know the note 10 is gonna be amazeballs

[Q] DNA Resale value around March/October

I'm planning on selling my DNA (with a Nokia wireless charger) and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet around the time the Note 3 is released. The Note 3 will essentially be a faster, higher resolution, and more portable (albeit smaller) version of the Note 10.1, which I love. I also have a DNA, which is the main reason I'm here.
My DNA has a few small scratches at the top of the screen over the verizon logo (not part of the actual screen) and a very small knick on the bottom left edge of phone which isn't very noticeable at all. I don't have any pictures of my phone to show, but you can trust that my description is accurate as I'm trying to accurately gauge what I can get out of the phone money-wise. Other than what's previously mentioned, the phone is in perfect condition. Runs well, very smooth, etc etc. Assuming I maintain the phone until September/October, how much can I expect to get out of it? I've seen listings on Ebay for around $325-$400 used, and I expect I can get just a little bit more by including the charger.
I'm curious to know if time was anything to do with the resale value. Will I be able to get the same $325-$400 out of it if I keep using it for about 4 months longer? I've had it since Christmas, so I'd have been using it for about 9 months. I assume the value would drop a little bit, but I'm not sure how much.
Thanks in advance for the help, I appreciate it!
I'm sure with the introduction of new devices like Galaxy s4 an HTC One or the Note 3 will most definitely lower your resale value on your device to the low end of things.
Its pretty much how it works with electronics they get obsolete really quick.

I also look at these things. I've been doing it for 6 years. I try to buy and sell during the smallest drop where the phone is still relevant. I find that to be buying at 400-450 and selling at 250-300. Usually i buy around 4-6 months after a phone comes out and sell it after owning for just less than a year. The DNA dropped in price quick. I was able to grab it just after 3 months for $375, i expect to see $300 around August when i will probably get the S4.
with that said, Verizon and sprint lose value much quicker because of the lack of true GSM, though sprint is worse by far. I am predicting this phone to be around 325 come august and 275 by christmas. then it will stabilize at 200-250 for another year. We are in the quick downfall period for the phone. Also Brands matter. I've found Samsung galaxy to be the best retainer followed by HTC, then Moto and LG.
here's how it usually flows.
A typical new phone that retails for $650
First 3 months Loss of < 150(500)
Next 3 months Loss of <100 (400)
next 3 months loss of <75 (325)
next 3 months loss of <75(250)
next 12 months loss of <50 (200)
I'll second the $300 estimate for late summer. It's a decent time to sell as the pre Christmas phones haven't been announced yet. Once that happens the value will go into the $hitter.

The Note 2 is retailing around $700 online at Verizon right now, so I think it'd be safe to assume the Note 3 will be around $750-$800 when it's first released? And how long would it be until I could probably buy a Note 3 off amazon or ebay at a slightly lower price? Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it.

The Note2 price on Verizon did not hold up very well. I think the big size eventually turns off users who really were not expecting that which creates a larger than average resale market. When i bought my DNA back in March, there were NOTE2 going straight up for trades with the DNA which you could easily have gotten for $375-$400. Both devices came out in November but the Note 2 retailed much higer at $700. That's a $300 drop in 4 months. If i was in the market for a Note, i'd wait 4 months. It dropped about a hundred a month those 1st 4 months and since has stabilized and even gone up a little.

Sam's Club was giving away Note II's on Verizon as early as January. I could see the Note III being the same.

I exchanged my Note 7 for ..

Hello People,
I would like to know what Device did you replace your Note 7 for .
I replaced it with Note 7 edge
I went back to my Note 4. Had the S7E as a loaner phone and was not too impressed by it. Really missing my N7. I'll wait and see the price/reviews on the V20, but I'm okay for now.

Do you mean the S7 Edge?
Getting a Moto Z on Monday.
I bought today an Iphone 7 Plus 256GB Factory Unlocked after being since 2010 with Samsung.
If my refund doesn't come through (samsung.com US) i will never buy a product from this brand. I'm angry (and i'm never am). I have bought them almost every single phone, accessory, watch in a 6 months or 1 year upgrade cycle. Now, i am reading that Samsung doesn't know which customer is returning their phones ? (on the stericycle return box)
Screw you! Had enough!
Nexus 6p with a $300 bill credit and free case ($20 value) and was able to keep the free SD card. I also kept the accessories for both phones i had.
S7 Edge. Saved some money on my monthly sub as well. Will see me over until the next note.

S7 edge bothered me a lot.. accidentally we end up touching the screen on the edge while holding it
Very sadly back to my Note 5 I previously owned the Notes 3 & 4, and Notes 10.1 & 12.2 - I need to have the S-Pen.
Poll needs a selection for exchanged for Note 7....really curious how many people are sticking it out.

thinking about s3. s4 coming out soon?

I might buy the Tab s3, but will the Tab s4 come out this spring, or are they waiting until 2019 since they skipped 2016?
Yeah I heard it won't be until 2019
2019 possibly even 2020 expo as looking at 4K HDR+ display. Hopefully at 18:9 or similar but most likely a 3:2
I think 2016 was skipped because of the note 7 disaster...
so it might be released before august 2018.
2016 wasn't skipped really. In 2016 the tab S2 was updated (qualcomm) so was it skipped? Idk, but I've had mine a year and a half and it's great. Hopping the S4 comes in 2018 because there's to many screen returns for me to bother with the S3.
Here's hoping
I noticed today Best Buy dropped the price $50 on the tab s3 32gb and 128gb version and it isn't sale price, but the normal price it appears now. Does this mean possibly the S4 will be announced in Feb possibly as well when the S9 is at Mobile World? Lets see when it's on sale again next time if the price is $450. I could bite and get it but that would suck if the s4 is announced. That is why I'm trying to hold out. Even at $450 that is too high for being out 10 months now and no spen slot. The $600 original price tag IMO was too high too. The everyday price should have been $500 to start with.
What screen returns?
They will probably skip a year like they did last time so 2019 or 2020 and use same tech as Galaxy X . also S3 and S4 won't likely have much difference like the S2 and S3

I owned both the s7 edge and note 8, both att us models. The s7sdge can be temp rooted and the note could be rooted but lost 20 percent battery from rooting but only on old firnware. Unless you are buying an exnos model do not expect root or much development ever since Samsung locked down the bootloader on all us carriers. Got fee up with samcrap and am on a OnePlus 6t now which can be rooted out the box. There is not much different between the s7edge and the side though.

Note 10+ or Note 20?

Should I stick with my Note 10+ or get the Note 20?
I am worried about the 128Gb of storage on the Note 20!
I have a 10+. I'm happily upgrading. There's some game changers on the 20 Ultra. 120Hz, 5G internet, and the camera upgrade are my 3 biggies. Not to mention all the cool software improvements! I am very excited.

Yeah, the NOTE 20 sounds like its a step backward. Sure it's got the newer processor and camera setup, but isn't that about it? Almost everything else the 10+ does better.
If you mean Note20 (and not the Ultra), then I'd stick with the 10+. The successor to the 10+ is the 20 Ultra, so that's the fair comparison. And in that case... Go 20 Ultra if you can swing it! Pre-order deals are nice. And 10+ still has great resale value (I just sold mine for $680 on Swappa - sold in less than 24 hours).
