I have been using a Samsung Note FE (Fan Edition) as my main phone for more than 3 years and pretty happy with the quality especially the videos and photos. Bought it for less than RM2K back then. However, with 64GB ROM, I am running out of memory! Therefore I have to keep deleting undesired photos and videos sent via WhatsApp Groups haha.

All my YouTube videos up to now have been taken with the Samsung Note FE.

Back in the mid 90s, I would not hesitate to buy the latest phone that is more than my monthly salary costing up to RM5K, e.g. Nokia 8810, NEC Stealth and Motorola flips. I even lost a new Motorola StarTac on the same day I bought it because it was so freaking small and light! The reason why I could simply burn money in the mid 90s was back then I was earning FREE money daily from the stock market.

Nowadays, I no longer pay more than RM2K for a phone because I have come to realized it is a waste of money…… buy the latest current phone today and it becomes obsolete tomorrow! On the other hand I have no issues buying for my wife and daughters Apple iPhones since they are Apple Fans.

I have been eyeing the Samsung Note 10 Lite for a couple of months. Why? The reasons are:

• It has Dual Sim (my most basic requirement for a new phone);
• I am happy with my Samsung Note FE camera;
• It has 4500 mAh battery;
• it has 128GB ROM;
• NFC for Samsung Pay;
• it comes with S Pen; and
• and the most important thing of all, it has 3.5mm jack for wired earphones!!!

Yes, the most important thing to me is that I reckoned that the Samsung Note 10 Lite will be the last Samsung Note with 3.5mm earphone jack. I hate Bluetooth watches and earbuds because I need to charge them! As of now, I already have to worry charging my 3 smartphones, hahaha.
