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...

compact; premium design and finish; S-Pen; bright display; decent cameras; precise GPS module; impressive speakers; fast fingerprint sensor; powerful; stylish and modern software

high surface temperatures; comparatively slow Wi-Fi; significant SoC throttling; underwhelming battery life; 1080p panel; no 3.5 mm headphone jack; no 3.5 mm adapter in the box; no microSD card reader; lacking aptX HD support

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

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

But as I said earlier, the Note 10 is a phone for smaller-handed artists and note-takers. And among Samsung's plethora of options this year, it's going to be just right for its very specific audience.

Easy size to handle; Long battery life; High-quality performance all around

Tall; narrow screen isn't the best for sketching on

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

The most compact Note phone to date; Attractive Aura Glow color; Expansive screen; Handy S Pen improvements; Day-long battery life

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

I restarted the phone I mean fully factory reset and this problem keeps coming back we're one little part of the screen doesn't respond to anything

This year, probably more than most, the Galaxy Note 10 appears to be a slightly remodelled Galaxy S10, complete with an S Pen. That’s no bad thing – the S10 is one of the best Android phones around – but it would have been nice to see Samsung push forward in areas where the S10 has fallen behind some of the competition; the camera is a good example. The display here is great. The design remains the best of any Android phone, and the functionality of the S Pen offers something you can’t get elsewhere. I also really like its slightly smaller form factor. However, the Plus model’s existence is likely to impact negatively on the Note 10. Samsung appears to be driving you towards purchasing the bigger model by restricting such features as expandable storage, screen resolution and camera quality in the Note 10.

Fantastic size for a Note phone; The S Pen remains great; Very powerful; Cameras are versatile;

Battery life isn’t great; Some missing features such as SD card expandability and quad-HD+ screen;

Not much different from note9

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.
