So you guys probably caught my video on the Note 10, Note 10 Plus
0:03
It was just like, it was a hands-on first impressions. I had a short amount of time with those devices
0:08
I actually didn't have a retail version of the phone up until right now
0:12
So as you can tell in front of me, it's a Note 10 Plus. It's in the box. It's factory fresh
0:16
And it got me to thinking, you know, I haven't switched smartphones in a while. I had intentions to
0:20
I had a couple of different devices come across the table. I was like, maybe I'm going to switch to that one. Maybe I'm going to
0:25
But the truth is, as far as like switching completely and shifting everything over
0:29
you know it's sometimes you're a bit apprehensive sometimes you're happy with the device that you're
0:33
on you just don't feel like switching that has been this particular device the oneplus 7 pro
0:40
i just been like hey man i love the display it's got the refresh it's got the oled it's got the
0:46
bezel-less look i was enjoying using this particular phone maybe the one thing that's not
0:51
especially stand out on it is the camera i think i'm probably going to see an improvement in the
0:56
camera moving over to this note but I'm just like it's time to change that's the job description
1:02
you got to try out all the different smartphones and the best way to do it is to change completely
1:06
and exclusively and to put the main sim card into that next device I'm going to do the usual thing
1:11
and of course I'm also going to do the unboxing here because my last videos I didn't have the retail version so this one in front of me is the aura glow with the the magical gradient on the back
1:20
look at that factory fresh it's got the you've got the plastic on there still you can start to see
1:25
that finish on the back Some people they don like this that much I saw some people in the comments are like oh that gross But like in all honesty the pictures and videos you seen of it that show it in all the colors like that
1:39
that's only in a certain type of reflection that you see that. Most of the time when I look at it from here, you only get a small glimmer of that color impact
1:47
It mostly looks reflective, almost like a mirror. That kind of mirror look most of the time
1:53
So I guess that's important to put out there. Something I'm excited for right away is getting wireless charging back because most of the devices I used leading up to this OnePlus had wireless charging
2:03
OnePlus, for whatever reason, so reluctant to put the wireless charging in
2:07
When you got the wireless charge, you just, you drop it on. Something special about it, you get used to it, you start to want it back
2:14
And, and of course, this device is going to give me that back. All right, let's do some fancy peels right now because this is so fresh, we can't miss out
2:20
So here we go. Plastic off the back. it's got a 4300 milliamp hour battery i'm interested to see how that pans out in relationship
2:29
to the very big display and all the other features like what what's my battery life i'm looking at i
2:33
expect it to be good now one thing is for certain this guy's gonna get fingerprints it's uh i mean
2:39
that's a magnet if i put in the right light that's a lot of fingerprints so i'm probably gonna look
2:44
for some sort of a case for this of course the pen has some improvements on it i'm not sure how big
2:49
of a deal that's gonna be for me because I'm not such a big pen user but maybe I
2:53
get back into it we see things change times change so on it ships with a fast charger I believe this is a 25 watt fast charger this thing is gonna be capable of charging a lot quicker than that You can get it up to 40 watts I believe Is that correct Will
3:09
45 watts. So there's an optional 45 watt charger. Type C cable, type C to C and then a micro USB to
3:16
type C adapter. You gotta like having the extras there for migration and whatnot. Now granted this
3:22
thing the Note series no longer has a headphone jack. S series had it and then it was kind of
3:27
controversial they're still gonna have it and you're not gonna have it they don't and i know
3:31
some people are upset about that but i guess as a consolation they gave you a decent set of akg
3:36
earbuds that utilize the type c connector they could have included some galaxy buds i've heard
3:42
there's some pre-order promotions that are going to include galaxy buds and then of course the other
3:47
benefit with the galaxy buds is because this thing has reverse wireless charging you can charge your
3:52
buds right on the phone i was not the hugest fan of galaxy buds they were all right but none
3:57
the less you get a free pair with interchangeable ear tips this is an upgrade this is by akg this is
4:02
a big upgrade on the typical included earbuds so i'm glad they put it in headphone jack would have
4:08
been better but you get this for a wired headphone if need be that of course over on the right that's
4:14
a oneplus 7 pro you can see because they hid the front facing camera in the motorized component
4:21
that's what you end up with screen to body ratio this one over here on the other hand you end up
4:26
with the hole punch. Now the hole punch is shrunk down. I said it in my hands on video
4:30
It not as big as it was on the S series devices I liked the fact that the hole punch on the other ones was hidden up in a corner where it not real estate you typically use anyways But there
4:40
is something to be said for symmetry as well from a design perspective. It's kind of pleasing and
4:44
it's smaller. But of course the time has come for me to switch device. I got to say goodbye to this
4:49
one and I'm telling you I really enjoyed. I really had a good time with it. I really can't say much
4:54
bad about it particularly for the price. Of course this one on the left is going to be a few more
4:58
than the one that I'm leaving on the right. It's hard to know. It's hard to say that this is gonna offer me up
5:04
that extended functionality that's worthwhile for the extended cost. So the SIM card comes out of this guy over here
5:13
Okay, moment has come. Now keep in mind, it's the main SIM card
5:17
I'm not one of these guys having multiple SIM cards out there. So all the phones are running in the pockets at the same time
5:23
When I switch to another smartphone, that becomes my smartphone exclusively. I think it's the best way to test these things
5:30
You live your life with this new smartphone, and then you can report back on sort of how you feel about it
5:35
And now, with the new show downstairs, the Lou Later Show, which is longer-form conversational
5:41
I feel like I can hit you guys with updates along the way as I transition to the daily life with the latest Note series
5:48
In this case, the Plus version of it. I'm a Note guy now for the time being
5:53
but I ain't gonna stop switching. I'll let you guys know how it's going on that Lou Later Show along the way
5:57
You can also talk to me on Twitter. You can ask me if I like it or not. You can ask me if it's worth the money, but it is a lot of money
