Most likely, it's either the cable or the plug. Warranty for accesorries is 6 months.

Could be.

If you want to check from OS side, the only way is to reformat the phone.

For the cable, very easy. Just change to another cable and test. I am sure you have another USB cable lying around in your house or office right?

As for the plug, either find another spare fast charger to test, or just go to the SC and ask the staff to check for you.

If the cable is broken, then yes. It will affect the fast charging feature. Just change to another type-c cable and charge. If the fast charge is coming back after changing the cable, then that means your Samsung cable is broken, which is quite common among Samsung phone users.

1. The seller need to register the warranty for the buyers (got incentives). That's why the seal is broken before they sending out to the buyers, whether it's original set or AP set.

2. Based on the Note 9's current street price, it may drop until around RM2000 after Note 10 released.

3. Exynos. Malaysia set is always exynos. In the pasts, both chipsets has their each own pros and cons. Exynos is good for battery life, while Snapdragon is good for speed and gaming. But nowadays, the gap is getting so close. Some said today's snapdragon is better than exynos in every aspects. If you want local warranty, you would have no choice but to buy exynos local set. If not, you may buy AP set for Snapdragon chipset. Most of us in here choose the local set for peace of mind because Samsung after sales service is good.

Don't know about how you guys feel about it. But for me, the punch hole in middle is unacceptable. Why not they put the punch hole at the side like S10 series?

As far as I know, Note 10 won't have 3.5mm headphone jack and dual stereo speaker, and also heart rate/blood pressure sensor. It's not a big deal to most of people. But I hate it when those manufacturers working so hard to pursue the perfect frontal full screen, they ditch out those useful features without any hesitation.

1. Not free. Warranty is needed. But then, Note 9 is not yet 1 year old. So yes. it's free, since the warranty is still working.

2. Still intact.

3. Approximately 2 hours, provided that the camera module stock is available.

4. Nothing.

5. No.

I see. Glad to know that they still keep the earpiece. Let's just hope that those leaked pics are genuine.

Honestly, I can live without headphone jack and heart rate sensor. But removing stereo speaker is definitely a NO for me. One of the main reasons why I traded in Note 8 and changed to Note 9 is because of that stereo speaker. I love it so much! It's a whole new world for me. Since then, stereo speaker is a must to me when it comes to phone. If Samsung decide to ditch that in their future flagships, then I probably won't be considering Samsung phones anymore in the future.

Anyway, it's still too soon to speak now. Let's wait and see what they reveal in August. Anything could changed before the dateline.

So what's your guys' prediction regarding the price of Note 10?

My guess is Note 10 will be RM3699, same as Note 9. While Note 10 plus will be RM4099.

IINM, Note 10 will be shorter than Note 9, while Note 10 plus is slightly taller, if not, probably similar to Note 9's height..

1. Yes. Watching youtube with the stereo speakers is great on Note 9.
2. Sorry to say, no. Note 9's wide camera len is not on par with Huawei phones. At this moment S10 series is the only Samsung flagship that can fight with Huawei flagships in term of wide camera feature.
3. Yes, it's good.
4. Approximately 1 hour 40 mins.

Yes. Note 9 has normal wide angle lense while Huawei flagships have "ultra" wide angle lense. Basically, most phones have wide angle lense on their main cameras. It's just thnat theirs are not as good as those with "ultra" one. If you opt for the phones with better wide angle lense, look for the word "ultra wide angle lense".

Wow! That's a top notch service! How is the SP quality? Good?

Go to settings - Apps - Device care - Storage - Clear cache - Manage storage - Clear data

After doing this, your Device care app will be back to initial stage (the first time you open the app). At the same time, the device care security will be back to deactivate status.

That's the sound of OIS module shaking. A very common issue for every OIS featured phones. Advice? Don't shake your phone too much LOL.


I don't think Samsung dare to do this. If they do so, it's a downgrade for Note 8/9 users (except newest chip and better camera). Then most Note fans will be frustrated since they are forced to buy the more expensive Note 10+ if they wish to upgrade.

Compromise is ok as long as the price is reasonable. But this time the compromises are too much.

1. Lower screen resolution
2. No SD card slot
3. Small battery
4. No headphone jack

I am using Note 9. If I want to upgrade to Note 10, I definitely won't go for the regular one because to me, the regular Note 10 is actually a downgrade.

No headphone jack No sd card lower resolution, I am still ok with all those compromises. But smaller battery size? They could put in 4000mAh battery inside Note 9, but they can't do the same thing in Note 10?

Obviously, Samsung is forcing the old avid Note fans to switch to the Note 10 plus if they wish to have a "REAL" upgrade. While Note 10 regular is for the newcomers. I am sure there are some Note users out there planning to switch to regular Note 10 instead of Note 10 plus in order to save some money. But after seeing this news, they sure have to think twice now. This is the way how I look at this.....

The above rant is only applicable to Note FE/8/9 users. If you are Note 1-5 users, then by all means go for the Note 10 regular.

SM-975F.........Damn! It's exynos variant.

It's kind of expected. But today I just found out our brother Taiwan unit, which is also supposed to use Exynos chip as well, is switching to Snapdragon chip this time (their code is SM-9750)! They have been always complaining about this "discrimination" whenever a new samsung flagship released. Finally Taiwan users are rejoice!

I am not saying that the new Exynos 9825 is bad. But since the Note 10 Snapdragon will be using the much more powerful SD855+ chip (which ROG2 is using as well), no doubt the Snapdragon variant is the better choice. How I wish that Malaysia unit will be switching to Snapdragon this time...........

I know we can buy SD version (AP set) online. What I meant is I wish SME will be releasing SD version this time, just like what Samsung Taiwan did.

Not too sure. But Samsung SC have their own app to check your phone battery health status.

The real promotional image of Note 10.

I wonder if Note 10 S-Pen is compatible with Note 9. If it does, I probably will buy one to match with my Note 9 Ocean Blue. The all blue S-Pen is dope!
