The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is here for good and the reviews are giving and taking over the net.
It is a fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ gets off the headphone jack which means the end of an era on the Samsung mobile family.
An other concern that it has been raising over the reviews is the refresh rate of the screen. For those you are wondering what is the refresh rate of the screen with simple words it is a “feature” that makes any transition run smoother.
Although, this “feature” is not visible or you can not see it if you haven’t seen it before. For example, gamers are the first to adopt this “feature” because it makes the whole gaming experience smoother and more relaxing.
There is so many to talk about the Samsung Galaxy Note+.
Lets start with the display! The display as you can expect from a Samsung Galaxy phone is just amazing. Vivid colors, sharp & edge to edge display.
The cameras are here two. And five in total. One at the front the rest at the back.

Despite some hardware launch delays Samsung had been experiencing this year, the company is pushing forward with its annual Note upgrade. Today, the company announced the new Note 10 that now comes in a few variants: a regular Note 10 and a Note 10 Plus that includes a new S Pen with Bluetooth and a gyroscope. Most notably, it’s the first Note device without a headphone jack — something that had been previously hinted at when Samsung first spoke of the future of its devices with the announcement of the Fold.
Here are some of the highlights from today’s event.
NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS
So here we are: two whole new Note 10s. Both phones come with increased batteries, Dynamic AMOLED displays, in-screen fingerprint sensors, wireless charging, and three cameras in the back for regular / wide-angle and telephoto. The regular Note 10 — still bigger than the S10 — is now the smaller device with a 6.3-inch screen, while the Note 10 Plus measures in at 6.8 inches. The Note 10 Plus has an extra DepthVision camera that you can use to 3D scan objects, which you can then manipulate into interactive avatars or print as a 3D file.
The Notes also come in super fun colors, including a special edition that has an iridescent finish, which lots of phone makers have been using in recent years. There’s added gaming capabilities, too. Now in the Game Launcher on the device, users can automatically connect to Discord to chat with friends.
Still, it may be important for some to learn that the Note will not have a headphone jack. USB-C headphones will come included in the box, but the dongle will cost you another $9.99 separately.
Both devices are available for preorder at midnight starting at $949 and $1,099 for the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, respectively. The devices will ship on August 23rd. For the first time, you can also preorder through the Microsoft store.
THE S PEN NOW HAS BLUETOOTH, A GYROSCOPE, AND AN ACCELEROMETER
The S Pen has been redesigned, and it can connect to other devices via Bluetooth so it doesn’t have to be limited for use with a Note device. It can now convert handwritten notes into a Word document, with support for multiple languages. The S Pen now has a gyroscope and an accelerometer, too, which you can use to remotely control a device from afar, such as when it’s on a tripod. You can use the pen and hover over the Note to change camera modes or rewind and fast forward a video on YouTube.
There’s also a fun AR Doodle mode now for the camera that lets you draw and / or write things into a photo. It’s essentially like making a custom filter for each individual photo.
NOTE 10 5G
Technically, there is also a third Galaxy Note 10, for those who want to be prepared to take advantage of 5G when it rolls out to your area. The Note 10 5G edition will start at $1,300 for the 256GB configuration. The 5G edition is basically a modified version of the Note 10 Plus size-wise and spec-wise, and is temporarily exclusive to Verizon; after the exclusivity period ends, Samsung says the 5G model will also come to AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
DEX FOR BOTH MAC AND WINDOWS
DeX, that platform that lets your Note behave like a computer, now works with laptops by just connecting it through a USB cord. The Note supports both Mac and Windows, and worked with Microsoft directly for a more seamless link. Notifications are mirrored onto the PC, and you can use your computer’s mouse and keyboard or interact by touch if your PC supports it.
Microsoft says its computers will soon also support calls from the PC via DeX, but did not provide a time for when we can expect it.
GALAXY BOOK S
As a “surprise” device, Samsung announced a new Galaxy-branded laptop. It has a 13.3-inch touchscreen, has Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx chips, has up to 23 hours of battery, and runs Windows 10. It also comes with LTE connectivity, making it sort of an oversized smartphone with a full keyboard and touchpad. It charges by USB-C and comes in two colors: gray and pink.
We didn’t get a whole lot of other details about specs, but Samsung says to expect it this September for $999.
The collaboration, according to Samsung CEO DJ Koh and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, marks a new partnership between the two to enhance productivity and interaction across “all devices.” There’s more to come, so we’ll see what that means over the next 12 months.
UNDER ARMOUR EDITION GALAXY WATCH ACTIVE 2
Earlier this week, Samsung announced a new Galaxy Watch Active 2. At today’s event, it also showed off a new edition branded with Under Armour. For $309, the watch can log runs through the MapMyRun app, and it has standalone phone and audio capability. It has Samsung’s Wireless PowerShare mode, too, that lets you charge a device off the back of a Galaxy phone.
COMMITMENT TO THE UNITED NATIONS’ GLOBAL GOALS
This year, Samsung pledged to make greener packaging to reduce its carbon footprint. Today, it says it is to deepen that commitment by adding an app to Samsung phones that lets users learn about the Sustainable Development Goals and raise money for the global causes the organization supports (poverty, hunger, internet connectivity, education, etc.).
Samsung says it will also sell branded accessories with proceeds going to support the UN’s initiative. It did not specify how much of the sales go directly to the UN.
Just two days before Samsung’s Galaxy Note10 unveiling, a Chinese user was spotted with what appears to be a fully functional prototype of the Note10+. The device sports the centered punch hole and minimal bezels but its screen does not seem to be curved. That’s likely just masked by the protective case which serves to hide prototype devices.
The short clip shows the user navigating through the OneUI interface but we don’t see much else. According to past speculation, the Note10+ will feature the highest screen to body ratio of any device on the market. The top bezel will come in at just 2mm while the chin will measure in at 3.7mm. The side bezels will come in at 1.5mm while the camera cutout will feature a 4mm diameter.
The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ is expected to sport a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution. Under the hood, we’ll see the Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 depending on the region paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB UFS 3.0 storage.
Around the back, we’ll see a quad-camera setup with a 12MP F/1.5-2.4 variable aperture main unit, 12 MP F/2.1 telephoto camera, 16MP F/2.2 ultra-wide snapper and a ToF module. The battery capacity is rumored at 4,300 mAh with support for up to 45W fast charging. Pre-orders will begin on August 7 while shipments will start on August 23.
We’re just a few days away from Samsung’s big Galaxy Note 10 event, and the rumors and leaks are in full form, teasing details of Samsung’s latest super-sized flagship. Or rather, flagships, plural, with Samsung expected to take a page from its own Galaxy S line’s playbook and release multiple sizes of the Note 10.
We already know some of the news, with Samsung announcing some of its smaller summer products — like the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the Galaxy Tab S6 — ahead of the big Unpacked event, presumably leaving more time for the good stuff.
And while Samsung isn’t officially announcing the Note 10 until Wednesday, the usual flood of leaks means we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect when the company takes the stage at the Barclays Center at 4PM ET that day. Here’s everything we know so far:
GALAXY NOTE 10 (AND FRIENDS)
The star of the show is expected to be the Galaxy Note 10, the latest in Samsung’s line of big-screened, stylus-equipped devices. If the Galaxy S line is the company’s mainstream device, the Note is for true Samsung aficionados, often offering cutting edge features and bizarre experiments before any of its other hardware.
Two (or four) Notes: Samsung is rumored to have two models of Note 10 this year: a smaller 6.3-inch Note 10, and a souped-up Note 10 Plus with a massive 6.8-inch display. For comparison, the S10 has a 6.1-inch screen, and the S10 Plus offers a 6.4-inch panel, meaning that standard Note 10 will be smaller than both the larger S10 Plus and last year’s Note 9, which also had a 6.4-inch screen. Both Notes will feature Samsung’s Infinity-O displays, too, with razor-thin top bezels achieved by putting a single hole-punch camera directly in the middle of the top of the display.
The difference between the two Note 10s isn’t just screen size, though. While both Notes will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor, the bigger Note 10 Plus will have improved hardware in a few key respects. According to reliable leaks from WinFuture, the Note 10 is said to have a 3,500 mAh battery, 12W wireless charging, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage — with no microSD card slot to expand it. The Note 10 Plus, however, will reportedly have a massive 4,300 mAh battery, 20W wireless charging, up to 45W charging speeds for USB-C charging, 12GB of RAM, and the same 256 GB storage, but with a microSD slot added.
The Note 10 Plus is also said to have an additional ToF (time-of-flight) sensor on the back, which could enable better portrait mode depth effects and augmented reality, although we’ll have to wait to see what Samsung intends to use it for to know for sure.
Upgraded S Pen
It wouldn’t be a Note without an S Pen, and the Note 10’s stylus is apparently getting a few new tricks up its sleeve. This year, the big addition is said to be some kind of motion gestures, that will let you control the phone through the S Pen by moving it around, but without actually directly touching the display. It’s not totally clear how the new S Pen will achieve this (or how useful it’ll be), but expect Samsung to have a demo or two showcasing the feature.
Cameras
Both models of Note 10 are expected to get an updated triple-camera system, with three lenses on the back: a 12-megapixel main lens that can adjust from f/1.5 to f/2.4, a 16-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide lens, and a 12-megapixel f/2.1 telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. And as mentioned before, the Note 10 Plus is expected to have an extra time-of-flight camera, for a total of four rear lenses.
Both phones will have just a single 10 megapixel front-facing camera (unlike the Galaxy S10 Plus, which had two for its hole-punch camera).
5G?
Of course, why stop at two Notes? Samsung is an early adopter for 5G, with the S10 5G model already out and a planned 5G version of the delayed Galaxy Fold. According to the rumors, Samsung might have 5G models of both Note 10 sizes, for a total of four Note 10 variants (which, if true, probably won’t confuse anyone at all.)
RIP, headphone jack
The Note 10 will become the first mainstream Samsung phone to kill the headphone jack —which means that the company’s future phones likely won’t be getting the port, either. It’s the end of an era in many ways… but at least Samsung has a dongle ready to go.
GALAXY HOME
Samsung announced the Galaxy Home on August 9th, 2018, alongside the Galaxy Note 9. A full year later, and we still haven’t gotten a price or release date for the long-delayed speaker, which has missedseveralrelease dates. The latest word from Samsung co-CEO Hyun-suk Kim was a planned Q3 2019 release. If Samsung does plan to hit that date, an update at the Note 10 event might be a good time to do it.
There’s also rumors of a smaller Galaxy Home device — the Echo Dot to the Galaxy Home’s full sized Echo, if you will — that leaked via the FCC earlier this year, which could show up too.
GALAXY FOLD
The Galaxy Note 10 is expected to take up most of Samsung’s event, but it’s not Samsung’s most exciting phone of 2019. That honor still goes to the foldable Galaxy Fold, which was delayed at the last minute ahead of its planned spring release after early reviewers (including The Verge’s Dieter Bohn) discovered critical problems with the device. Samsung says that it’s fixed the issues and plans to release the Fold in September, which means this Unpacked event could be the perfect time to announce a proper release date.
GALAXY BOOK S
A fresh leak ahead of the event is a new laptop, the Galaxy Book S, which appears to be heavily inspired by Microsoft’s own Surface Laptop. Details are slim, although some rumorssuggest that it could be powered by a Snapdragon 855 processor with 8GB of RAM. It would be a little odd for a laptop to show up at what’s typically been a mobile-focused event, though.
SURPRISES?
As mentioned before, the event is likely to focus on the Note 10, but there’s always the chance for a surprise or two. Out-of-the-blue partnerships? Wild OLED panels? Smart refrigerators? Anything’s possible when Samsung takes the stage.
