If it's 2,299 it'll probably be the 6GB version but I have a feeling the price will be most likely higher.

Anyways, I'll be skipping it all the same. No more Exynos phones for me for now

Well to be fair to them their SOT isn't half bad - just the standby times are a little underwhelming

Hmm, still belum receive Sirim approval...

I remember buying the Note FE for 1800 some time ago for my brother and thought it was good value for a phone with a S-Pen back then - so I think this is a pretty good buy too as an alternative to the Note 10.

Here comes the preorder for Note 10 Lite

Any takers?

Note 10 Lite also uses an optical one

So far I've used only the optical under display FP of the OP7 Pro and it was good, far more reliable compared to the ultrasonic ones I used on the S10+ and Note 10+, though I must say my experience with the latter isn't too bad as well.

I guess the technology for the under display FP still isn't as good as the physical capacitive one just yet.

Yup, that's an advantage of an ultrasonic one, it'll work even if the screen is badly scratched or cracked. An optical one won't.

No, not when it's still new and not during preorder stage. Unless you have some discount coupons that are eligible.

Well, technically, you'll have three days to think it over, coz you can preorder between Feb 3-5. Not sure if they'll have demo sets but if they do that might help you decide.

Well, the bundled Galaxy Fit supposedly retails at RM369 but I'm guessing it's probably worth RM180-RM200 or so. Definitely not an "out of this world" freebie in my opinion

The way I see it, there really isn't much to lose from getting the Note 10 Lite. At RM2,299 it's a good buy and especially if you get the Galaxy Fit. If you can't sell it, well, you can always use it for yourself

The Note 10 Lite doesn't attract me because I've already had the Note 9 (same Exynos chip) and I've briefly owned the Note 10+ so I think I roughly know what to expect from the phone already. The S10 Lite on the other hand intrigues me because I've never owned a Samsung flagship running on an SD chip before, albeit this is more like a "budget" flagship. Unfortunately the price tag of the S10 Lite (2699) is making me think twice. I wouldn't be having this dilemma if they had priced it at 2299 or 2399

Hahaha, yeah, I was also waiting for the Note 10+ to hit 3000 or below but I bought mine at RM3099 during the 11.11 sale - which was close enough. Oh, and I did manage to redeem the Galaxy Fit and sold it off for 200 so my net purchase price was 2899 for the Note 10+, which is pretty nice.

But then I sold off the Note 10+ at 2800, so still rugi, haha...

Oh well

I did see it going for as low as 3299 on Astro Go Shop a couple of days ago, but the price has since been adjusted up.

Haha, no, I'm not always shopping for phones but I'm always on the hunt for good bargains Also, I'd like to have an idea on what the resale prices of the phones should be considering how frequently I buy, try and sell phones. It's an expensive hobby, hahaha...

Ya, I managed to get a Shopee coupon for RM1,111 and used that to deduct from the official price of RM4,199. It was a good bargain, but...

...there's also a flaw with the 10+ that made me sell off the phone in just 3 weeks and that is the poor signal strength. Most people claimed it's an issue with the Exynos chip, and some people who own the SD ones over here confirmed the same.

Agreed, at RM2299 the value for the Note 10 Lite is pretty acceptable - plus throw in a free Galaxy Fit

Technically the SD855 is a late 2018 chip, but yeah, it powers most of the 2019 flagships till the 855+ was released in mid 2019. As for the Exynos 9810, it’s the same chipset that powers the S9+ and the Note 9, both of which I have tried

I’ll let you know if the battery consumption and signal strength is better on the SD after I’ve tried it, bro. Preordered my S10 Lite moments ago.

Well, you’re a far more patient person than me... I had it after just 3 weeks of ownership, bro. To see my midrange Redmi Note 7 run circles around my Note 10+ in terms of reception and signal strength was painfully embarrassing

Even with the Note 10 or 10+, I think most people would set the resolution to 1080p. In theory the processor of the Note 10+ should be more efficient, so it remains to be seen which has the better battery life, but I’m guessing it’ll be marginal whichever way it goes.

The other advantages of the S10 Lite over the Note 10 Lite besides the processor in terms of specs on paper: -

- Brighter display (HDR10+ vs HDR10)
- Camera (48MP with Super Steady OIS vs 12MP with OIS), and dedicated macro camera vs telephoto
- Fast charging 45W vs 25W

The Note 10 Lite however has a headphone jack, the almighty S-Pen and is RM400 cheaper - so pick your poison

Sudah kahwin ler, bro. Isteri tak boleh tukar tukar. Far more expensive!

The phone has already been released in certain countries like India, bro.

Or the phrase he used a lot on the iPhone 11 Pro Max durability test - "it's definitely a step in the right direction"

Depending on the courier service. If it’s via LEL (Lazada) more often than not can get on Saturday. If it’s Poslaju then likely will be Monday.

I did, but we're discussing this at the S10 thread instead.

I'm reluctant to believe it's a pure software issue. If it was Samsung could have easily acknowledged it and come up with a software fix.
