SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10 PLUS

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10 PLUS

Size isn’t the only difference, though. While they both appear modern and sleek, the Note 10 has a few missing features the Note 10 Plus carries. Both do bring something new to the table, including gestures with the S Pen, useful integrations with Windows PC’s and Microsoft applications, and triple-camera setups with top-tier specs.

Check out our Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus hands-on reviews for our in-depth impressions. You can check out all the deals and prices from various carriers on the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus here. Here’s everything you need to know.

Design and display

The Note 10 and 10 Plus look and feel distinctly different from the Note 9. That starts with the dazzling Aura colors the new Notes are offered in. Aura Black, Aura White, Aura Glow, and a Samsung.com– and Best Buy-exclusive Aura Blue (Note 10 Plus only) give the first indication of a flashy new design.

The Note 10 crams a 6.3-inch FHD+ (2,280 x 1,080) display into its body, which is smaller than the Note 9’s screen but with only a tenth of an inch less screen. The Note Plus is able to carry a 6.8-inch Quad HD+ (3,040 x 1,440) display while being only slightly taller and wider than the Note 9. Both utilize the same Dynamic AMOLED display technology as the S10 range and are HDR10+ certified.

The edges are also more rounded, and gone from the back is the fingerprint sensor, owed to the implementation of an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, all around contributing to a more seamless look.

One other design change to note is the loss of the 3.5mm headphone jack, which Samsung said was done in the name of fitting a bigger battery in a smaller frame. A USB-C to 3.5mm dongle is included in the box, though, along with USB-C AKG headphones.

S Pen redesigned

The S-Pen also underwent some slight redesigns too with beveled edges and some new functionalities. Air Actions bring gestures to the pen for snapping photos, changing camera modes, and even zooming the camera all with a flick of the wrist.

A new AR Doodles app for the S Pen lets you draw on people’s faces in augmented reality.

Microsoft partnerships, and DeX improvements

Running the show is Samsung’s OneUI, as we have on the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, layered over Android 9 Pie. But some new features make their debut on the Note 10 and 10 Plus.

Partnering with Microsoft, Samsung has added the ability to transcribe handwritten notes into Microsoft Word documents. Trained in 62 languages and thousands of writing samples, the transcription is done by Samsung’s Notes app and is able to be sent off as an editable Microsoft Word document, PDF, or image.

Specs and battery

The spec sheet is where you’ll start to notice the differences between the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus.

Both are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 but the Note 10 has 8GB whereas the Note 10 Plus has 12GB. Storage also shows some division. While they both start at 256GB, this is where the Note 10’s storage begins and ends, with no option for MicroSD card storage and no step-up option for built-in storage. The Note 10 Plus offers a 512GB model and also retains MicroSD card support.

Key Specs:

• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855
• Memory: 8/12GB RAM
• Storage: 256GB/512GB* (*Note 10 Plus Only)
• Screen Size: 6.3-inch/6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED
• Resolution: 2,380 x 1,080/3,040 x 1,440
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, 5G* (*Note 10 Plus 5G Only)

The Note 10 Plus, on the other hand, jumps the battery all the way up to 4,300mAh – 200mAh more than the S10 Plus, and brings the all-new 45-watt charging capability, which Samsung said can give the battery a full day of use in only 30 minutes of charge time. The 45-watt charger isn’t included in the box, so you have to pay more for it.
