Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ review By GSMArena Official

Hey everyone Samsung has launched the Galaxy Note 10 and note 10, plus in this review. We're going to be focusing on the note, 10 plus versions of the phone and not the vanilla note, because it has more features, and it's a bigger jump from the galaxy s 10 plus now. This is one of the shiniest and prettiest phones that we've seen recently, but does that mean that it's premium enough for its high price tag, I'm Angie for GSM marina- and this is a review of the notes- n+, okay, so ah I wanted to take a moment and bring your attention to the fact that we just hit 800,000 subscribers and I. Think all of you guys for your support and for your appreciation of our work. So with that said, let's get back to the note.10 plus the design is gorgeous. This beast of a phone is practically bezel free, it has a tiny hole, punch and the AREA glow.

Color is the definition of eye catching. It actually reminds me of the back of a CD or, like Matthew Mona, said a disco ball in terms of ergonomics. It's also much comfier to hold in last year's note 9 despite the size. This is probably because the aluminum frame is thinner. Also, the phone is bounced quite nicely, so it feels much lighter than it actually is.

The curve of the sides is also much more subtle than last year, which adds to the elegant effect. The power button has been moved to the left or the Bigamy key used to be. One of our working theories is that Samson didn't have a lot of space to put the button in a comfortable spot on the right, since that's where the bulk of the electronics for the s-pen are still, the move isn't much of a loss, because that big speak has been hanging around for three generations now, and nobody really liked it very much, and now you can remap the power button, so you can choose whether you want Bigamy, the camera app or something else. Yeah, taking screenshots is a little more awkward, but you can also turn on the palm swipe shortcut. The fingerprint reader is noticeably faster than on the s10, but it's still slowed down by the unlocking animation.

You can actually make it quicker by switching on faster recognition, which is slightly less secure than a regular fingerprint scan or, if you don't care about crazy good security. There's also a face unlock option on the top you'll find a card slot which still supports external storage. On the note 10 plus, what is missing on this device and its little brother is the headphone jack I'm, honestly a little surprised that they did it first on a note line and not on the Galaxy S phones, because the note is typically associated with having every important feature out there and the s-pen. If you can afford this phone, you can probably afford a nice pair of Bluetooth, headphones or Samsung's Galaxy Buds, but I'm still wary of the whole Bluetooth. Headphone thing I've learned to live with the annoyance that is, charging them and the occasional dysfunctional Bluetooth connection on even the best of phones, but in general those super expensive, headphones.

Honey, have mediocre, microphones, and I'm, constantly forced to turn them off and use a phone normally like a plug. So yeah, it's official that jack is dead, but can the headphone industry catch up already until it does, you can buy a Samsung dongle because there isn't one included in the box still if that's the main way, you listen to music you'll, be happy to know that the wired audio quality is excellent and surprisingly, there's still FM radio, also, whether you're dealing with Bluetooth cans or the dongle life, to adapt sound option is still available. So you can add a personalized, sound profile depending on how good your hearing is. While we're on the topic of audio the stereo loudspeaker setup is surprisingly loud and well-balanced, especially once you consider how incredibly tiny that earpieces, mid-tones and highs are nice, but lows can be a little more powerful. Still it's one of the best you'll find on a phone.

Another feature: that's one of the best you'll find is that gorgeous 6.8 inch, dynamic, AMOLED screen, it's a HD display that supports HDR, 10 plus and has excellent colors. The vivid mode can be a bit bluish, but the natural mode makes it incredibly accurate. Brightness can get it to a nice 381 nits. In manual mode and a whopping 794 in auto mode, so sunlight legibility should not be an issue. The bunch also isn't much of a problem, since it's pretty small in comparison to the size of the display, you hardly notice it even when you're watching videos, if it really bothers you, there's no way to hide it, but this is an AMOLED display, so anytime, there's something darker on the screen.

It'll simply blend in, depending on where you live, you'll get a note, 10, plus that's powered either by the Snapdragon 855 plus or the Enos 9825. We tested the Enos version of the phone and established that, while it has slightly higher clock, speeds on some cores' performance is not substantially different from that of the galaxy s.10 plus battery life, however, is much better. With a massive 4300 William hour battery, the Knudsen plus got a hundred and seven hours of endurance on our tests, and you could probably even bump this up by going into settings and changing the power consumption options. Charging is also improved and the phone supports charging up to 45 watts. If you shell, out some extra cash for Samsung's fast charger, if you don't want to give up the extra money and just use the standard keyboard, a box, then you'll get 25 watt charging the phone sports Android hi with one UI on top.

Well, the software is packed full of options. It doesn't feel as heavy as that of previous generations. It also makes this behemoth a little easier to navigate than the note 9 from last year, but it's still far from a one-handed device. Gestures in particular make this phone much easier to navigate, and we really recommend you use them instead of navigation buttons. However, even if you choose not to you, can swipe down in almost every menu and what's on the screen will drop to the bottom half of the display for easier reaching in general.

If you've used any recent Samsung phone, everything will be pretty familiar, there's still edge lighting for notifications, and they've brought a tapped awake function, so you can activate the always-on display. The S Pen also includes new gestures for the camera, but there's still a bit gimmicky, taking a photo from far away as super useful, but now you'll also have the option of air gestures which allow you to switch from one camera mode to another, really I can't think of many situations. We're just walking over and switching the camera mode isn't easier. You can also use the combined powers of the time-of-flight camera and the s-pen to create a doodles, the top flight sensor. It doesn't just aid with an are, however, TOF cameras use infrared lights to determine depth distance and that's the reason why, even though the triple camera setup is pretty much the same as the one that you'll find on the galaxy s 10, the note 10 plus has way better portraits, actually I think it's time we talk about the cameras they can make or break a flagship, especially one as premium and expensive as this one.

The main 12 megapixel camera has a variable aperture, and it's pretty much the same hardware that we've been seeing on Galaxy phones since the s9. However, since the chipsets and image signal processors have gotten better the photos and videos we're seeing have also gotten better. The main camp produces shots with low noise, good detail and punchy colors. During the day we compared them to photos produce by the Enos version of the Samsung Galaxy, SN plus, and the 1 plus 7 pro. The note 10 tends to use a lower exposure than the S 10, better HDR, but slightly softer images.

At times, the 1 plus 7 pro, on the other hand, has slightly less amazing HDR but more detail, sometimes significantly so on a telephoto camera there's less detail than on the main cam, but the processing is very similar. So we see the pattern repeats, the dynamic range is still good in HDR is once again better than the equivalent on the s10. The note tends. Telephoto also has a slightly wider aperture, which means less shaky photos. As far as the ultra-wide is concerned, the note m+ has one of the widest fields of view on a phone but very little distortion.

Despite that, once again, HDR is better on the note, then, on the s10 at night. However, the results surprised us: low-light photos are great with generally nice detail and good colors. If you switch on night mode. The already good dynamic range is further improved. However, this mode isn't necessarily better than the regular photo mode.

So, whether it's worth using or not depends on the scene, you're taking a shot of when we compared the note 10 to the s10, we didn't find any significant differences, but when we compared it to the 1 plus 7 Pro, well, the OnePlus tended to capture better photos at night, even without night mode. The OnePlus had more detail with sharper and dealt better with light sources. The note had better dynamic range, but images were significantly softer. Despite the smaller sensor, the ultra-wide camera produces good images even without night mode. In fact, night mode only helps for improving the dynamic range at the cost of some softness, where the note 10 really shines is edge.

Detection you can treat portraits with both the telephoto and main camera, and the 3d TOF sensor allows for excellent, portraits on even difficult subjects. I mean look at the hair here. The TOF also allows for live focus and videos, but the blur effect there is much less successful than what you get with stills. The color point and glitch effects seem to work a bit better and would be pretty effective for something like Instagram stories. Other than that the note 10 plus excels in video recording, and it even supports HDR, 10, plus, recording and 4k.

There's plenty of detail, excellent dynamic range and punchy colors. You can use all three cameras when you're shooting in 4k, and you can choose whether you want to shoot in 30 or 60 frames per second Full HD video keeps the same characteristics, albeit in a lower resolution, and allows for a super, steady stabilization. Last but not least, the selfie camera, it's the same one as in the previous generation, although with a slightly smaller opening, because Samsung wanted to make the punch hole, less obtrusive selfies have impressed some dynamic range and the autofocus means they're pretty much always in focus. The note 10 plus, is one of the most premium phones you can buy at the moment, but should you get it well, it depends on your priorities. If the s-pen is not important to you, then honestly you're going to get a really similar user experience with the OnePlus 7 pro or the Samsung Galaxy S n Plus, which are way cheaper than this phone.

If the s-pen is important to you, then the verdict is pretty clear, and you're really going to like this device, it's shiny and pretty and powerful, and it has pretty much every feature you could want in a phone.
