It may be unconventional but when I pick a phone, I also like to know how it feels in my hand. The weight, the size.

That's why I pick the regular Note 10 instead of Note 10+. And also why I picked the Note20 instead of the Note20Ultra. For me, spec isn't everything. It's almost like picking shoes. A more comfortable ones vs a more fancy ones.

That is effective marketing. Everybody doing it, like for example, picking a computer. So best to cool down and think what are the things you really needed and set a budget.

Since you have advised on this twice I can’t help but ask. How does it make a difference if I delete my registered fingerprint before or after applying the new screen protector?

I was thinking the same. After all, the phones can register several fingerprints so why need to delete the old ones?

I rarely charge over night since I'm using fast charging on my note 8

I always keep the battery percentage usually around 20% to 80%

So far battery still no issue.

Mine just touching 3 yrs on exact same phone and doing the same. Still got 93-94% health.

It's pointless to argue which charging method is the best.

Just use whatever charger you like, charge whenever you need to. Don't be a slave for your phone.

All you need is a change of habit. Instead of charging overnight. Charge it when you wake up and before leaving the house, which could be 30 to 45 minutes. Plenty of time to charge sufficient battery power.

Of course no fast rule. If you know you will be out of the house for a long time that day, just charge it overnight to 100%.

I have never said that benchmarking app represent actual usage. Benchmarking app is created to mimic real world usage to test performance but you should never rely too much or put a lot of importance on it. It is just another tool to measure a standard reference point of view of how it compared to another device but never to judge the experience you use on a single device. You already understand that so I don't need to explain further.

I would not say little improvement, it is a massive improvement compared to Exynos 990 in terms of CPU performance and energy efficiency. The only inferior part is the GPU which still uses Mali GPU. You need to know that Exynos is an SoC not just one system component. SoC includes the CPU, GPU, AI, DSP, ISP and also the modem(4G, 5G signal receiver and etc). The only part it cannot keep up to Snapdragon is the GPU part where SD uses Adreno GPU. You need to get this fact right 1st. Wait for next flagship that comes with AMD GPU, then we can start bashing whether Exynos is truly trash or wonderful SoC.

Your statement can be applied on Exynos 990 as it was truly an awful chip. It lose in all aspect to Snapdragon whether in CPU/GPU performance, battery life and picture quality computation by ISP was a massive letdown.
If you still insist this year Exynos has little improvement, then you have a problem with yourself, being blinded by the facts with lots of hatred.

My take on this issue. I see different reviewer will say different thing about the same phone. Some say battery good and some say no good. So for me, I read and I make my own decision.

Take the N20 and N20U as an example.
Some reviewer says both similar battery life. Some reviewer says N20 has 1 extra SOT. My own decision, I believe N20 will last longer because it has lower screen resolution and refresh rate. I could be right or I could be wrong.

TLDR; Your battery will deteriorate FASTER if you always charge overnight than someone who doesn't have the same habit.

this is because the first time u register your fingerprints was on th phone screen...so when u put TP glass there is a second layer of glass that will make it hard for the sensor to read your previously registered finger print....so it is wise if u want to install a TP then deleter theregistered fingerprint...then after u have applies the TP register it back...and to make it more sensitive...turn on the sensitivity option in the phone to get better result...so after u have installed the TP the sensor will go pass thru both the phone screen and tempered glass...

I have a question.
I still have the original Note 10 plastic screen protector that came out of the box. But I never have problem with fingerprint sensor. So does it means plastic SP all have no problem?
