It's time for a reality check.
1) You can't transfer apps, or app data on SD cards for several Android generations. You can transfer photos, videos, music. You can backup your favorites, contacts, and other things to the SD card, however now that most cloud services linked to your Google, Samsung, Chrome, Firefox, etc. These services backup most things automatically. The reason I have traditionally used an SD cards was because the base storage was so low, 8, 16, 32GB. You could barely put anything on it before running out of space. Now with 256 GB, I really don't think I'd ever need to put in a SD.
2) microSD cards are notoriously unreliable. I've had Kingston, SanDisk Ultra Extreme, Verbatim, and several others fail (most recently the SanDisk 128GB. Yet I've never had the internal memory fail.
3) Samsung has diagnostic data and knows what the average user is using for both space and SD cards.
4) Screen resolution is oversold. If you want to show off the pure awesomeness of the device, 1440p is great. However in the past almost two years of my Note 8, it's spent 90% of the time in HD+ (1440x720) for increased battery life. Also if you stream lots on mobile data, you know that YouTube will scale the resolution to what your device can display and the data. So I've at times forgot to change it, and it auto scales to 1440p/60 and chews through 1/2 GB of data in a couple of minutes. Limiting the screen to 720, limits streaming apps to the 720.
5) Faster charging is already present on both, and perhaps because lithium battery packs swell while charging, perhaps the extra room of the Pro allows the 45W.
6) I'm sure I'm not special and the Note 10 probably represents the sweet spot instead of spending an extra $150 for the pro for many people.

Yep, absolutely right on most points, the only one I would rephrase is that Samsung isn-t gouging the loyal fans, they-re gouging the -woohoo, new shiny phone, me likely- type that buys the next latest and greatest of anything that comes out. A true note fan will probably stick with the n8-n9. Sad to say this but a s-pen doesn-t make a Note.
Who wouldn-t take a 8. 5-9mm note10-note10+ with headphone jack and sd card with 4000mah for the 10 and 4500mah for the +
The positive coverage from media that Samsung is taking a stance and going against the grain would bring so much more traction
It-s just that Samsung-s marketing people have an Apple complex.

Samsung also took the Micky out of the notch but some of there cheaper phones have a teardrop notch. The Note 10 is a great phone but they have got more expensive than Apple on their premium phones the trouble with that is other firms follow suit soon only very well off people will be able to afford them or get an extortionate contract phone for 2 year's something has got to give hopefully these firms will realise

All these new phones are overpriced plus fragile, i still have a note 3, had to repair it 2 times, reinstall ROM cause it was getting slow, and the flash LED needs to be changed. The screen is still fine, no OLED degradation, and is the same side-to-side with the new screens. Why buy another phone? Simple answer, people feel better when consuming needlessly

I'm getting the note 10 plus just because they giving me 600 for my note 9 otherwise I wouldn't buy this phone. It is beautiful tho but nothing really worth upgrading for. Lol. Don't care about the head phone jack or SD slot tho. Thought I did until I realized I didn't use either for real.

many phones were at the $1000. why wouldn't the best phone on the planet be there? (i am taking about last year's note 9. You are right about the note 10. the new features are gimmicky. And features that are real improvements do not make up for the loss of the earphone jack

Meh, there are other options out there that are similar, that cost less.
Xperia 1,
OnePlus 7 pro
The upcoming Asus ROG 2
The upcoming Huawei mate 30 pro.
The S10+ is a great phone, but like apple, it's overpriced, and lacks simple features that everyone wants.

Add a few gimmicks, remove essentials.
I really don't get why budget phones bring back the Jack and premiums remove it.
I have a S10 now and if the S11 doesn't have a jack. I guess I will look elsewhere for my next phone.
Bad sammy!
