The Galaxy Note 10 is Samsung's easiest to use S Pen-toting phone yet, and while there may not be any game-changing features to make this a must-buy handset, it looks to be a solid addition to the Note range.

Easier to hold; Strong video recording

Lacks microSD support; No headphone jack

For the entirety of the Galaxy Note's existence, it has always been The Big Phone. It was the first mainstream phone to push the envelope of screen size - so much so that, at first, we dubbed it a "phablet" because it seemed so silly big.

Excellent build quality; Bright; colorful display; Smooth performance; Versatile camera system; Loud; clear speakers; The smallest phone you can get with an S Pen

Expensive compared to similar phones; No headphone jack; No SD card expansion; Underwhelming battery life; In-screen fingerprint reader can be slow and unreliable

A lot has changed since Samsung was the Android king, namely – Huawei and Google’s flagships showed up and then there’s Oppo, Xiaomi, Sony, LG et al all vying for the non-iPhone shoppers. Samsung’s response? More, more and then some more.

The Note 10 is slimmer and smaller than the Note 9. It loses the headphone jack and the whole thing looks more symmetrical now the front facing camera is bang in the middle. It’s a shame the ToF camera doesn’t join the array as it does on the Note 10+. In many ways it’s a Galaxy S10 with a pen. But now that pen is also a Bluetooth controller as it was with the Note 9, yet it’s even more versatile. The fact the phone isn’t silly big and chunky like so many of the current flagships and previous Notes is a breath of fresh air and maybe, just maybe, more people will be drawn to the pen-toting, sharp-cornered beast of moderate proportions.

We've been waiting for this phone for awhile now and we heard some pretty wild rumours about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series . Turns out, they were true with more interesting features and tech specs than we anticipated.

With the Galaxy Note 10 , Samsung has launched its hot smartphone for late summer with much aplomb. We went hands-on with the new Galaxy Note 10 this week, and one thing is clear: Samsung doesn't pull any punches this year, and the Note line is growing!

It's been nearly eight years since Samsung unveiled the first Galaxy Note. A phone with a 5.29-inch display might seem compact by today's standards, but the original Galaxy Note was ridiculed at the time as being uncomfortably - even unnecessarily - large and many also called its stylus as a relic...

Not much different from note9
