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.

Samsung closed the camera gap with rivals and created a top-of-the-line phone for people who want the best Android has to offer.

The Galaxy Note 10 Plus delivers the premium goods; from a killer 6.8-inch screen and all-day battery life to excellent camera tools.

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.

After spending a couple of hours with the Note 10 Plus at a pre-briefing, I've now had a full week with it and my own T-Mobile SIM. My Galaxy Note 9 is still an amazing device and I haven't experienced any problems with it.

Gorgeous Super AMOLED display; Capable Bluetooth S Pen; All-day battery life; Functional quad rear camera system; Fast and ample internal storage

Fingerprint magnet; Odd power button placement; Terrible ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

Samsung makes excellent phones that check nearly every box of what you'd want in a device: a clear, brilliant screen. Great cameras . Strong battery life. But it's been years since all the individual parts have come together in a way that makes me sit back and say, "Wow.

It’s been a while since I personally reviewed a Note device. That being said, as it was now, the Note10+ is still the king of Samsung devices. While it has plenty of features, many are likely to be unused except by the biggest power users.

Slick design; Fantastic screen; Great battery life; Great performance; Decent camera; Plenty of features; KNOX security; Edge panel for easy app/feature access

Pricey; S Pen has some gesture control issues; No headphone jack; Headphone adapter not included; Side key isn't power button by default; In display fingerprint scanner not reliable

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

The Note 10+ is in a class of its own. I really don't understand why people buy other phones. The display is stunning and the one hole in the center for the front camera is much better than the 2/3 holes on the right of the S10+ and the notch of the iphone.

Battery life; Ridiculous 45w Charging Speeds; A Stunning work of art; In display fingerprint reader; 256gb standard storage; Ultra wide mode camera

Don't like the power button on the left; no more customizable 3rd button; no rear fp scanner

I love the speed, battery life and large screen, but it does have some issues. 1) They changed to 2 buttons on the left side and removed the right side button. Taking a screen capture is extremely difficult and cumbersome. Why would they move the button Who knows.

I'm thinking of getting a different phone

If the Note series is a showcase of the full range of Samsung's technical capabilities, then the Note 10+ is a tour de force. The performance and battery life are outstanding, the design and display are both beautiful to behold, and the whole thing is wrapped up with some of Samsung's smartest and...

Long battery life; Smart S-Pen and DeX features; Great performance

Bixby is still pointless
