[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had it a week now, but like it so far. I had to replace my note 9 before crackscreen went blackscreen. I have 3 other note series phones I can't get into because of this. Data locked away in a phone nobody can get into without spending an unreasonable amount of money or knowing somebody who knows somebody. I'm stuck on this series though. Too bad it got handed over to the s-boys. Maybe they'll make it better for all. I hope this phone lives up to its "legendary" reputation. As long as the screen stays unharmed I'll be happy. I had to go to great lengths to keep predecessors' screens intact. For a note, the screen is it's soul. Breaking it is the same as destroying the whole phone kinda like wrecking a vehicle where all the airbags deploy and frame is bent. It's totaled. I hope this one holds up. It's awful thin and large though, which is why I waited and shopped for a nice refurbished one so I don't get my soul crushed if something bad happens like my note 9 on day 6 with a pre-order new release unit. At least I had geek squad, but I do not recommend them in general. They try to total a note regardless of the issue in my experience. I like the idea of using the toughest glass and waterproofing, but waiting until the very last model to do so seems quite strategic. Of course my 9's were supposed to have the toughest glass available at the time, but still broke 3 of them too easily in my opinion. I'm still on board though...it IS the last of it's official line so why not? I've been here since the beginning so I may as well ride it to the end.
