Hi, i'm looking at Note 10 +, wondering if i buy the parallel import with Snapdragon model, where can i repair/claim under warranty/change battery in the future?

As i normally will use my phone for a very long time, i'm still using Note 4 running on 3rd battery now

Or should i just buy local version to avoid any hassle? Thanks

i see, sounds like a little risky, but price is tempting

er.. any reliable normal repair shop you guys would recommend?

thanks for the reminder, besides battery, something else may goes wrong too, guess i would just pick up a local set

mmm.. noted.. back then all my phones are parallel import unit, no issues, my first local unit mobile is a Sony Xperia ZL, but it's a lemon unit, claimed under warranty, after repair everything is ok, with this experience, the next mobile i get is also a local unit, which is the Samsung Note 4

reason why now i'm eyeing on the parallel import unit Samsung Note 10+ is because of the big difference in price, and saw some online review on Snapdragon vs Exynos, they concluded the Snapdragon Note 10+ runs cooler, faster, better graphics and better battery life

but i believe i've made up my mind on getting a local unit, as i can imagine few years later, when i need to change the build-in battery, i would only trust Samsung Malaysia to carry out proper quality work with genuine parts, and providing warranty on new battery

5th
Note 4 is immortal

7th
really looooong life

because it's a phone with great performance, it's still performing great up until today, and it's stable & durable, it's still running strong

somemore the battery is not built-in, you can change it with ease

i totally no gaming, mostly doing photo/video shooting, outdoor under hot sun, therefore phone temperature is important, and some reviewers concluded that Snapdragon unit takes better quality photo & video due to better graphics processing

i don't baby my Note 4 actually, dropped it thousands times, no issues with the screen, only issue i'm having now is it's SD card reader, sometimes it couldn't read, only when the phone temperature gets too high, like when charging phone or heavily used under hot sun

WiFi still not a big issue to me, as my WiFi is not too far a way from my room

battery life of standby with 4G is so important, as that's when we are outdoor, and by 3X

anyway, upon checking, i only realise my Note 4 is also Exynos maybe getting a Note 10+ with Exynos also ok for me..

mine bought at Samsung Outlet, RM 147, i think 2 weeks or 2 months warranty

the signal part, i don't game, but a little worrying for me, as always travel to very remote place

i see, means differences of Exynos & Snapdragon on Note 10+ won't be too big right?

some up stream river side, so remote that the road is not available on google map, sometimes have to park my 4x4 and walk all the way to continue to the site

if that's the case, i guess i can confidently just get a local set Note 10+, also no need to wait for the upcoming Note 20

guys, what type of screen protector & lens protector do you use & recommend?
it's just the 5th day i since got my phone, and i just stupidly ruin my original screen protector

noted with thanks, probably wait until my ruined original screen protector to ruin even further only change to hydrogel type
naked glass nice to touch indeed

pardon me what is MO?

read some articles about battery care tips,
the battery is best to be kept in between 20%~90%,
not sure how correct is this, but i follow anyway..
i charge when it's below 30% and unplug above 80%

knowledge gained.. feels like i'm quite outdated with tech products, i'm ruining my phone..
1st day charge until 100% then keep charging for 1 hour, then DIY fit some plastic screen protector & ruined the original screen protector
anyway, will stick to 20% to 80% from now on

what type of car charger you guys use? was intended to buy the 45w but bought the 15w eventually due to the price..

Just updated to one UI 2.5 last night, checking up the difference today, tried playing around with the new feature on Pro Video, suddenly a pop up "Warning: Camera Fail", Camera app shut down itself.
Try reopen Camera and play around, same thing happen again..
Should i send service center for checking?

guys, my camera app keep crash after updated to one ui 2.5, even after i send it to service center and they reprogram the phone, still the same

it crash everytime when i use Pro Video with 24 fps, histogram on, during or after i adjust color (the button "Standard" in between "WB" and "Zoom")

could anyone help to try out? would like to know is it a common bug or just my phone, thanks in advance

Tried many times clear data & cache, even tried restart & clear all cache, even service center format my phone, still occur

if that's the case, huge possibility a bug, i should have wait until i see your reply before sending to sc

now i felt so heartache that my 1 month old phone is opened up for a repair work that should not be needed

just send to sc this afternoon, they change camera module, then format my phone again, test in the same way, crash

technician say it's a bug and will log report to HQ and feedback to me next Monday

noted with thanks
already confirmed with Samsung, it's a bug, only will be fixed in next updates
eye opening, thanks for assisting to test
the standard button is greyed out on UHD 24 fps, but not greyed out on FHD 24 fps

mind to share how and where to clear cache?

i tried power + volume up button, couldn't enter the system boot screen like before

no.. RedOne is terrible on my 10+, no signal along Kesas highway..
