The Note 10 Plus is expensive; There's no headphone jack, which will disappoint long-time Samsung fans; The depth-sensing camera is extremely limited

Nevertheless, the Note 10+ is a well-equipped smartphone that includes everything but the headphone jack, another strange exclusion. Samsung's intransigence about supporting certain Bluetooth codecs still irritates us too.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is the best that Samsung has to offer in 2019. Especially if you're judging that by its price – and not counting 5G and foldable phones. It's the most expensive smartphone besides a 5G model of the Galaxy S10 or Note 10 Plus, and the Galaxy Fold.

Big; Beautiful AMOLED Display; The Aura Glow Color is Amazing; Battery life is pretty impressive; The S-Pen Still Brings New Tricks

That's the essential question for the Note 10 Plus. It wasn't always this way: the Note line has meant a few different things over its eight-year history. It was the first phone that convinced us that big screens were great, the phone that proved there was a market for a super powerful Android...

If you want pen-input, then the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is the best out there, wildly out-classing everything other than its predecessor, the Note 9 in that respect. If you don't, it's still an excellent phone, but you could get a comparable screen and imaging experience for less money in the...

We're getting the smaller Note 10 in for review soon, and will decide which of Samsung's Notes is our Editors' Choice. But if you're looking to buy something right now, we recommend saving some money on any of the aforementioned smaller models.
