This is the first time Samsung would be introducing two Galaxy Note phones at the same time. The first is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 that you are reading about – and the second is the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The Galaxy Note 10 features an all-screen display just like the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Both smartphones are different from the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus.
Let’s see the major specifications of Samsung Galaxy Note 10
256GB storage, no microSD
The company announced the introduction of Galaxy Note 10 in August 2019. Not too long after the announcement, the phone became available alongside the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The price tag if you are buying it outrightly is $945 / £869 / AU$1,499.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 feels more comfortable in the hand than the previous Galaxy Note 9 or even Note 10 Plus. If you have smaller hands, you will still find it difficult to grab this phone. It is also thinner and lighter than the Note 9. It measures 72 x 151 x 7.9mm and weighs 168g. This makes it one of the lightest flagship Samsung phones.
One of the most noticeable design changes we observed with this phone compared to other models is that it comes with a full-screen display. It has a 6.3 inches AMOLED display with a Full HD resolution at 2280 x 1080 pixels. The display is easy and bright to read.
On the bottom edge is the USB-C connector. To the right are a speaker and the S-Pen slot. The volume button is nicely positioned at the left-hand edge of the phone. The power button is below is the volume button.
The Galaxy Note 10 comes with a 3,500 mAh battery. The battery will last you through a day of normal usage. This is not the most stunning battery life as heavy usage would mean charging it before 8 PM. Thankfully, the charging is very fast and can attain 100% charge in less than 1 hour.
If you have previously used phones like Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus, you will discover that the camera of Galaxy Note 10 is not much of an upgrade from the former. The camera of Note 10 is not the best at the moment, but it is great for watching movies and taking pictures. There is a huge improvement in its video recording capabilities, as the phone comes with a new feature called Live Focus Video. This feature will enable you to capture “bokeh” background blur effects.
If you need an S pen stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is your perfect bet. Not many phones on the market have a stylus. The stylus is light and easy to use. You can take notes with the pen or even draw impressive designs
