SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10 REVIEW
OVERVIEW:
- The Galaxy Note 10 is not just thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Note 9; it is the most compact phone ever with a 6.3-inch screen. In fact, it is so tiny for its display size that we consider it among the simplest small phones you'll buy.
- Samsung kept the cameras mostly an equivalent compared to the Galaxy S10, with wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. It had brought the Live Focus effects to video. A software update is bringing a number of the Galaxy S20's camera features to the Galaxy Note 10.
- The Snapdragon 855 inside the Galaxy Note 10 delivers outstanding performance, though other flagship Android phones — especially those with Qualcomm's newer Snapdragon 865 chipset — outperform it, and Apple's A13 Bionic contribute the iPhone 11 range absolutely smokes iT.
- The S Pen can now perform Air Actions, like changing camera modes with a wave of your hand. you'll also convert handwriting to text, but it isn't seamless.
- Samsung killed both the headphone jack and microSD card slot, but a minimum of the bundled USB-C headphones offer noise cancelling.
- The Galaxy Note 10 Plus features a bigger 6.8-inch screen, more RAM, larger battery and fourth camera on the rear for depth sensing, but it costs $150/£130 more.
DESIGN:
The Galaxy Note 10 is definitely one among the foremost striking phones available today, especially if you choose the Aura Glow color. That model gives off a silvery iridescence that changes hues as light strikes it at different angles. you'll also catch on in Aura White, Aura Black and Aura Blue, thereupon last color exclusive to Best Buy and Samsung.com. Some regions receive additional colors, like Aura Red, that are not available in North America.
At 6.3 inches, the Galaxy Note 10 features a slightly smaller screen than the 6.4-inch Galaxy Note 9, but it’s remarkably thinner and lighter. The Note 10 weighs around 5.9 ounces and is 5.9 x 2.8 x 0.31 inches thick.

DISPLAY:
The Galaxy Note 10 features a 6.3-inch Infinity-O display, which features a cutout located within the top center of the panel. Personally, I find the Note 10’s hole punch less distracting than the one on the Samsung Galaxy S10, which is on the proper side.
One downgrade from the Note 9 to the Note 10 concerns the standard of the screen. The Note 10’s Dynamic AMOLED display packs 2280x1080 pixels, compared to 3040x1440 panel within the Note 10 Plus. That said, the reduction in resolution sounds worse than it's . I don’t think most of the people will notice a difference, and you continue to get an equivalent great colors and HDR10+ certification as you are doing on the larger model.
But it is the brightness that creates all the difference. Cranked up to the very best setting, the Note 10's panel can illuminate details that might go unseen on other handsets' screens, while still maintaining the right blacks you'd expect from AMOLED technology. Watching the teaser trailer for El Camino, the new Breaking Bad movie, a number of the shadowy figures within the interrogation room were more clearly discernible on Samsung's display compared to when viewing an equivalent clip on a Pixel 3.

CAMERA:
Samsung decided to use an equivalent camera sensors on the Galaxy Note 10 as on the Galaxy S10, which suggests you ought to not expect a leap in performance when taking still shots. Since the Note 10 came call at 2019, Samsung has launched the Galaxy S20 family, which features more advanced cameras, particularly on the high-end Galaxy S20 Ultra. A software update is bringing a number of the S20's camera features — like Single Take, which captures variety of shots directly , and Night Hyperlapse capabilities — to the Galaxy Note 10.
The back of the phone houses a triple-camera that has a wide-angle of 12MP shooter, and an ultra-wide camera that takes 123-degree pics, and a 12MP zoom lens that handles bokeh-effect portraits and offers 2x optical zoom. I say limited because phones just like the Huawei P30 Pro already offer a 5x optical zoom using clever prism technology. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus offers a fourth sensor, a VGA depth camera that’s optimized for taking bokeh shots and better depth effects.

PERFORMANCE:
The Galaxy Note 10 is one among the fastest Android phones, because of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 CPU. it isn't the most recent mobile processor on the market, as it's outpaced by the revised 855+ and 2020's 865 5G, though it certainly delivers enough power.
The Galaxy Note 10 was one among alittle group of phones (including the OnePlus 7 Pro) upon its launch to boast UFS 3.0 storage for snappier read and write speeds. You get 256GB of storage standard, complemented by 8GB of RAM; the Plus model packs 12GB of RAM. Truthfully, though 8GB is enough — the smaller Note 10 never stumbled during every week of use, whether i used to be gaming or writing, and never seemed wanting for more power.

BATTERY LIFE:
With a capacity of 3500 mAh, the Galaxy Note 10's battery is smaller than both the Galaxy Note 9 (4,000 mAh) and Galaxy Note 10 Plus (4,300 mAh).
In Tom's Guide's custom battery test, which forces the phone to endlessly load webpages on T-Mobile's LTE network at 150 nits of screen brightness, the Note 10 lasted for a mean of 9 hours and 25 minutes across three sessions.
Those times are well below the smartphone average of 10:14, to not mention the Note 10 Plus' 10:47 result over multiple tests — understandable, as long as the Plus features an 800-mAh larger battery compared to the quality model. An earlier test of the regular Note 10's battery yielded a score of 14:33, thanks to a mistake in testing.
