Ok thanks for the information guys. I'll need to have a think about what to do, the phone arrives tomorrow. It's going to be hard not to open and have a play around with it.
I have a S8+ and a S10+ as well as the note 10+. The difference between the S10+ and Note 10+ besides headphone jacks and spens is marginal at best and basically it the same as the s10+ besides a few minor things they did.
But between the S8+ and Note 10+ the differences become more noticeable. Even though the Sammy still uses the same camera array since the S7 the software implementation has gotten better every generation. So the ultrawide camera may prove useful in your usage. Same goes with Night mode. Having said that I think some of the camera modes like Live focus is another Gimmick just like some of the other features the phone has like 3d scanning, air gestures and what not.
Maybe it just me and maybe other posters could chime in here. I am sure the haptic feedback doesn't feel the same as my s10+ or S8+. In my mind, maybe it just placebo but it feels better I can't quite put my finger on it.
The one suprised me which I never bothered using on my s10+ is Bixby routines. I am not a Bixby user by default but I now love Bixby routines. Is this a new thing? I don't remember it on the s8+. When I leave the house it turns off wifi, activates screen lock, turns off always on display and when I arrive back home it disables mobile data, turns off screen lock and turns on wifi and when I got to bed it turns on blue screen filter and turns on always on display all by itself.
