Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy S10 - Which Should You Buy? By Nick Ackerman

So, what is up guys Nick here, helping you to master your technology, Galaxy Note 10 persons, gelid cs10, which should you buy, because both of these are quite the same size, and naturally you would ask: should I just get the s10 I mean it's about the same size, it's cheaper than a note 10, and it has certain features. The note 10 doesn't have well. I could tell you right now that for 950 I'm, not sure if this note 10 is gonna, be worth it. The Galaxy S tens around $8.99 on Samsung depend on where you look, it's already coming down in price. I've seen it in the sixes already, so I would just say that the S 10 is just a cheaper phone. Let's just put it that way.

Right now, you're going to save some money. If you buy the Galaxy S 10, but if you buy the Note 10, you do get the all-new S Pen features. So let's talk about which one is better. Okay guys. So let's talk about the build and the design of both of these smartphones and which one's going to be for you now we'll begin with the Galaxy Note 10, you could see a pretty square design stretches the panel a little and a lot of people are calling this a compact phone.

It is more compact for a note series of ice, but this is not a small phone there's still a lot smaller phones than this, and I wouldn't categorize this as compact. That will categorize this as a smaller large phone, and it does a good job at feeling that way as a hundred and sixty-eight grams. So it's a lot lighter than prior notes that came before it. It's quite thin here as well, just 7.9 millimeters, also off to the left. You can see.

We have the power button on the left side, so lefties might like that, in addition, no Bixby key well. This can double as the Bixby key, but you can also turn that off, and it could just be the power button, so now dedicated, Bigamy key anymore, which a lot of people do like at the top. We do have the SIM card tray as well as the speaker grille at the bottom. We do have ourselves speaker, grill here, USB-C, S Pen. Overall, I have to say that the Galaxy Note 10 square feel.

So, if you kind of like that- and you know you want- is the most screen you could get and the smallest note body possible, you will love this know. The Galaxy S 10 is a little more curvy on the edges right here. You can see it just curves a little more. It's a little sleeker in my opinion personally I think the Galaxy S 10 feels nicer to hold than the gala see note.10, it's a lighter phone at 157 grams. It also has a pretty flat looking display compared to you know some really sharp curbs, unlike the galaxy s 8, so it's still curved, but it's more subtle than before.

You still have the Infinity. Oh, it's just buried over there on the right side, it's kind of out of the way a little more than the Galaxy Note 10, but the Galaxy Note end. It's a little more symmetrical in that regard. This is also an extremely thin phone at 7.8 millimeters, so it's also thinner than the Galaxy Note 10.1. This is the ORA white, and you can see you do have the triple camera in more of a horizontal fashion.

Overall I have to say that both of these phones feel pretty much the same when it comes to premium. I. Just think that the design is a little better with the s10 due to the curve. In your hand, it just feels more ergonomic, but the Galaxy Note 10 is a great step in the right direction. If you want to s-pen- and you wanted a smaller Galaxy Note 10 so make a decision based on those pointers.

I've pointed out there, and both of these do have Gorilla Glass frames on both the front and the back, so they're pretty high quality in that respect. In addition, ip68 I'm both. So let's talk about their displays again. I'll begin with the note 9 the benefits of the note 9 display over the Galaxy S tens now they're about the same brightness I'm, not noticing too much of a difference. There they both have night modes, but what a big difference here is that the Galaxy Note 10.

Thus, one only goes up to 20 to 80 by 1080, so 401, and I say only, but it's still a pretty high resolution at 401 PPI. You still will notice that the s10 is far superior in resolution into this phone. We'll get to that in a minute, but worthy Note 10 shines is that it feels more off-screen because it's 90.1 or 90.9 screen to body ratio. So it has a higher screen to body ratio, and it looks more symmetrical because the Infinity, oh, is at the top. So I actually think the note 10 feels like a more off-screen phone than the galaxy s 10, but only very slightly in terms of color, reproduction and brightness, and all that stuff HDR 10 plus support the note 10 has it so very good display overall now the Galaxy S 10, though, has a much higher resolution.

So technically I think it's a superior display to that of the Galaxy Note 10 resolution. But this is not gonna matter to most people, so I would say if you're going to buy one of these phones and make it based on where the infinity all bothers you more up in the right corner or up at the top, because in terms of the actual usage day-to-day, unless you're putting these side-by-side, you probably won't notice too much of a difference. However, if you are a pixel paper, and you love high resolution, there's no other choice, but the galaxy s 10 here. But again, if you like more of an off-screen, look you're gonna, like the note 10 more so talking about the software Galaxy Note any come of 1ui a 1.5, an android 9 pi. So it is on a newer version of the one UI galaxy s: 10 comes with 1 UI 1.1, an android version 9, but at the end of the day the software experience is literally about the same. The only difference again is down to the s-pen software that comes down on the Galaxy Note 1000.

You have link to Windows here as well as Samsung decks to a Mac or PC and other than that I'm. Not seeing too much of a difference between both of these the core experience is generally the same. Now. Iii, don't see the screen recorder option in here on the s10 I see it here for the note 10, so there's a few little new features thrown in here and there I would say that the one UI version 1.5 definitely better for the note 10. So if you want the latest Samsung software I'd pick the note 10 here, but core experience, what you're actually gonna use most of the time.

It's about the same experience, so we don't need to go on and on about that both can multitask both. Can you pop view windows both can do pretty much all the core essentials? You love from Samsung devices so in terms of performance, they're, literally the same 855 CPUs, eight gigabytes of RAM, there's faster storage on the note 10, but it doesn't have expandable storage, which you can get are very fast as the card for Galaxy S 10. So we don't need to go on and on about performance they literally perform exactly the same in the day-to-day use. So there is no difference there. If you want an extremely fast phone you'll be happy with both of these.

If you want very fast file, transferring like the top of the game, then you'll definitely want the note 10, with its new file transfer 3.0. It's definitely up there. Ok, so which one should you choose in terms of storage, now UFS 3.0 on the note 10, very fast file, transferring storage. So if you care about internal storage, you'll probably just want the note 10, but if you like to expand your memory, you'll want the Galaxy S 10. This phone has expandable storage via the SD card up here, and this one also comes with less storage, though from the start, and it's a little slower storage.

So keep that in mind you do get less! You get more storage on the note 10, but you don't get to expand it here. So what you get is what you're stuck with here on the note 10 for me. I personally would probably just take the Galaxy S 10 storage, because I can get this in 256 gigs I can get an expandable memory and even though it's slightly slower, I'll live with that to have the expansion because having the expansion helps with long-term use. If you don't want to be, you know, managing the files too much you can just throw on a new SD card, and you have tons more storage. So it's really up to you, but for me, I'd pick the s10 okay, so quickly talking about the cameras triple camera on here and triple camera on the s10 they're.

Basically, the same camera they're just looking a little different on the back. They both have 12 megapixels, regular, wide swell'd, megapixel, telephotos and 16 megapixel ultra-wide cameras on the rear. They both do 21 60 at 60fps and they both have pretty much the same software. When you do open up those cameras, however, the night mode is included automatically in the Galaxy Note, 1000 and the scene. Optimizer will recognize it and throw it in night mode for my s10 over here.

So that's something a little different. Also, you can an are doodle with the s-pen on this phone over here, but other than that the software is about the same on both of them. You have life, focused slow motion, there, feature-packed phones, let's just put it that way. If we go into the settings menu, you can see super loaded with features and features and features, and it just keeps ongoing so. I would say just take a look at these samples I took with both of them and make a decision based on the quality which one you think is better for you, but for me, I found them to be literally exactly the same quality just about so I, wouldn't even pick either based on camera because, it's literally about the same camera.

So talking about the audio performance on both of them do have dual speakers, and both of them do have Dolby Atmos support, so they're, both very loud, and they both have pretty good sound. The Galaxy Note 10.1. Has it integrated above the know, bezel right, or it's in the bezel up there just a little now one major difference on the galaxy s.10, which really sets this phone apart, is the headphone jack right there. So if you do want headphone jack, you still have it here. Note 10 comes with the USB-C headphones, but you have headphone jack dual speakers.

This is just a better phone for audio for me because it's just more versatile than Note 10. Okay. So when it comes to the battery on both phones, they're both a pretty similar sized battery, although the note 10 has a 3500, this one has a 3400 for Galaxy S 10. This one also comes with a 25 watt charger, so faster charging for the note 10 out of the box. You have 15 watt over here for s 10, but based on my initial testing, my final conclusion is I'm: getting the sit around the same battery life on both of these I'm getting through most of the day, and then I got a top-up, like maybe six seven o'clock at night, so I don't really deplete the battery down too much and if I really stretched it I'll probably be ending up with a dead battery.

By the time it's like 10 o'clock. on both of the final assessment is that you can get through the day with both of these, if you're a light to medium user or your busy person you're, not on your phone constantly all day, but if you're a heavy phone user. Both of these are just adequate, and they're, not gonna, please you, because you'll be needing to get to a charger a lot faster than you're used to if you use the phone heavily. So when it comes to the s-pen, there's only one phone here that has it and that, of course, that's the note 10. So, if you're into productivity features, you want to write on your calendar, you want to an are due to you want to live message.

You want to cut things out. You want to create notes, you want the s-pen. Furthermore, you want to take pictures from afar with the s-pen. Furthermore, you want this tool in your phone, there's no other pic, it's just a note 10. So the note 10 wins on the basis of productivity, just because it has the s-pen.

That's sleekly that tucks right in to you. The body itself so Galaxy, Note 10, is your pick. If you're heavily into productivity, you'll find more benefit out of this phone within the Galaxy S 10, so phone call quality. Both of these have been fantastic. They both hold on to signal strength very well.

They both have good call quality through the earpieces and I have to say that the speakerphones could be a little louder on both of them, but I haven't had any drop calls with either I've been testing both of them pretty rigorously with phone calls, and neither of them have given me an issue. So I have to say that this area of phone call quality is stellar on both okay, so which one should you buy? Note 10 or s10 I've been really thinking about this too, and it's been a really tough decision to make, and I'm going to have an unpopular opinion here, because it's not the latest phone out, but the S tend to me right now is the better pick based on this circumstance. If you are paying cash money for the phone, because right now, there's just too many corners cut at 9:49. It just feels like robbery, honey, the Galaxy, Note 10, for what they're giving you in comparison to what Samsung is giving you on the s10 as well. As you know, prior phones that came before it note.9 was around the same price as this phone, and it gave you a higher resolution display gave you the same dual speakers. They gave you a headphone jack.

It gave you expandable memory. You can just see it when you pull out the SD card slot up here or the SIM card tray that, where they just didn't put it in there on purpose. This is a pure profit move right here to get you to buy the note 10 plus here on the note 10. However, it's still a perfect smartphone, it's probably just as good, if not better than the s10. In terms of you know everything it can do.

It has the s-pen, which makes it really productive, but the S 10 does don't cut as many corners in comparison to its bigger brother, the S 10 plus now. My second thing is: if you get these on a deal like, if you can get a trade-in you'd knock the note 10 down to like maybe 500 something bucks, maybe 600, then yeah I probably would pick the note 10, because I get the s-pen I get the all screen more off-screen, look and feel, but if you're just buying these from a pure cash standpoint like full retail, you just pay cash money for your phone right now, S 10, when the note 10 comes down, then consider the note 10. It asks my final conclusion between both of these. So what are your thoughts? Would you pick the note 10, or would you pick the galaxy s? 10 comment them down below in the comments section of this video.
