A few weeks back, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship range to the world, the Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10...

Auro colour options; Brilliant display; Starts at 256GB internal storage; Extreme fast-charging; Slim design

No 3.5mm jack; No microSD card slot

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are the best Android smartphones Samsung has ever built and beat out what the competition has been throwing at it in 2019. But for as much praise as these phones deserve, I’m honestly a bit disappointed.

S Pen features, Amazing display, Great software, Good camera performance

Average battery life, Slowish fingerprint sensor

With so many phones being almost identical to the last model, we're impressed with what Samsung has done with the Galaxy Note 10.

Galaxy Note 10, or Note 10 Plus? For the first time ever, Samsung announced two sizes of the same Note phone, with only a few differences beyond their screen dimensions and price. Finally, we can answer the questions we've been chewing on since Samsung's reveal: do the differences matter, and which phone is the better buy?

Despite missing a few minor features, the Note 10's size, price and specs add up to the best all-around Samsung phone you can get right now.

The Galaxy Note 10 brings the best of Samsung's Note line in a compact body that sells for the right price.

It lacks a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Slim case with a classic silicone feel. I love that it doesn't add bulk to the phone. It does make me a bit nervous since it is so thin that I'm not sure how much protection it would provide if I dropped my phone.

Now for the price, for the Galaxy Note 10 comes in a standard 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and it will set you back at PHP 53,990 . That's a PHP 7,000 difference from the base Note 10+. So what are you missing

The big takeaway If you can wait awhile for prices to drop, the smaller Note 10 is the best Note for most people. Power users who need a big, high-res screen, a microSD card slot and tons of RAM are probably going to buy the Note 10+ no matter what it costs.

The Galaxy Note 10 is a lavish, powerful phone that doesn't need two hands

Camera is a step below the competition; No MicroSD card support or headphone jack

The Galaxy Note 10 represent's Samsung's most powerful handset of 2019, and as such, potential buyers expect the best in terms of camera performance. We ran some side by side tests with the Galaxy S10+ camera, which we previously reviewed in-depth, along with other phones such as the iPhone Xs Max...

In some ways, the Galaxy Note 10 is a step backwards from the Note 9. The Note 10 has a lesser battery than its predecessor, along with a smaller and lower-resolution display. In short, it seems that Samsung sees the Galaxy Note 10+ as the actual successor to the Note 9, with the Note 10 being a...
