Featuring a <\/span>16MP Ultra-wide Camera, 12MP Wide-angle Camera<\/b> and <\/span>12MP Telephoto Camera<\/b>, you won\u2019t be short on photo-taking options here.

Beautiful photos aside, the Galaxy Note10+ also lets you channel your inner artist with the <\/span>AR Doodle feature<\/b>! You can sketch over images and have them intelligently interact with the subject in your line of sight. While most users will probably stop using it beyond the occasional doodle and <\/span>AR Emoji<\/b>, artistic individuals can use this as a canvas for the most creative of ideas. As for us, we decided to have some early Halloween fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Camera comparison (Samsung Galaxy Note10+ vs Galaxy Note9)\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Considering an upgrade from Galaxy Note9 but unsure of the differences in camera quality? No Samsung Galaxy Note10+ review would be complete without a comparison with its predecessor. Here\u2019s a visual comparison of the night mode and wide lens features between the two devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Night Mode<\/h4>\n

Comparing the night modes of both devices, you\u2019ll notice that the Galaxy Note10+ is sharper with emphasis on peripheral details like individual floor tiles and shadows. Colours also appear richer on the Galaxy Note10+ compared to the slightly washed out ones on the Galaxy Note9.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Wide Lens<\/h4>\n

The new Ultra-wide lens on Samsung Galaxy Note10+ makes a world of difference when pitted against the regular wide lens of the Galaxy Note9. The Galaxy Note10+ is able to grant a wider field of view without sacrificing overall image quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eye-catching minimalist design
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

At just 7.9mm wide, the pocket-friendly aluminium chassis returns better than ever on the Galaxy Note10+. Impressed by the vibrant three-colour-gradients present in other phones? The Galaxy Note10+ one-ups the competition by presenting a spectrum of colours! From the rainbow-coloured <\/span>Aura Glow<\/b> to the minimalistic <\/span>Aura White<\/b>, you\u2019ll definitely turn heads when people spot your luxury phablet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Worried if fingerprints will smudge the back of your phone? Say goodbye to fingerprints smudges and show off your Galaxy Note10+ colours with a <\/span>transparent Galaxy Note10+ case<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the slim design, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ boasts plenty of measures to keep it durable and in quality condition. The Galaxy Note10+ is <\/span>IP68 dust and water-resistant<\/b>. This means it\u2019ll survive dips into shallow water — lasting up to 30 minutes in water that\u2019s 1.5 metres deep!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With these type of features packed into it, you\u2019d expect the phone to weigh a tonne. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note10+ fits all this goodness into a package that weighs about 200g. That\u2019s around the same as eight AA batteries!<\/span><\/p>\n

Huge crystal clear AMOLED display
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

The 6.8 inches Dynamic AMOLED panel<\/b> boasts <\/span>1200 nits peak brightness<\/b>, so you can view darker video scenes in broad daylight. Streaming HD Netflix videos or reminiscing with past photos? You\u2019ll have no problem immersing yourself in this phone\u2019s <\/span>Quad HD resolution<\/b> and >90% screen-to-body ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although we wished it featured a display with higher refresh rates for buttery smooth visuals, the vibrant colours and brightness levels make up for this.<\/p>\n

Besides providing terrific edge-to-edge goodness, Samsung has also taken measures to ensure an uninhibited viewing experience. The Galaxy Note10+ adopts an <\/span>Infinity-O Display front-facing camera<\/b> similar to the one on the Samsung Galaxy S10 so you can enjoy watching videos notch-free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifications to handle any problem<\/span><\/h3>\n

Moving on to the specifications aspect of our Samsung Galaxy Note10+ review, if you\u2019re bothered by limitations like slow loading times and low frame rates, the phone has you covered!<\/span><\/p>\n

With a potent mix of Snapdragon 855 processor<\/b> and <\/span>12GB of RAM<\/b>, the device can pre-load frequently used apps, making daily multitasking a breeze. From playing graphically-intensive mobile games to seamlessly synchronising with Microsoft Office, not much will hinder your productivity with the Galaxy Note10+ in hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenging laptops in overall capacity, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ also offers 256GB internal storage space<\/strong> and up to additional <\/span>1TB via microSD<\/b>. You\u2019ll never have to worry about lacking space to store high res photos and videos ever again!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Powerful battery that lasts for hours<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019d be lying if we said we didn\u2019t miss having a headphone jack on our device. But if that means a longer battery life, then we\u2019ll take it! Much of the jack space has been cleverly re-allocated to the phone’s huge 4300mAh battery. This allows for up to <\/span>five hours of screen-on time <\/b>to effortlessly power through intense video streaming and photo-taking!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’d be a hassle if the Galaxy Note10+’s humongous battery took hours to charge. Thankfully, the default adapter takes only an hour to fast-charge the phone. For even faster charging rates, Samsung also offers a 45W charger, though we wish this was available right out of the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool features that\u2019ll make you a proud Samsung Galaxy Note10+ owner<\/span><\/h3>\n

Much of the Galaxy Note Series’ popularity can be attributed to its handy stylus also known as the \u2018S Pen\u2019, which allows you to take notes and doodle to your heart’s content! <\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the S Pen refines the entire experience with a super useful <\/span>handwriting to text conversion feature<\/b>. <\/span>This can work wonders when you need to transition from casual jotting to sending an email in a jiffy! The new <\/span>Air Actions<\/b> are also a welcome addition as you can flick and wave your S Pen to control your phone with simple air gestures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most notably, the Galaxy Note10+ comes with features that\u2019ll make you <\/span>the <\/span><\/i>must-have friend for all gatherings. Be the life of the party as you masterfully take selfies with the S Pen\u00a0 Air Actions, play music from the amplified Dolby Atmos speakers and charge your friends\u2019 phones with <\/span>Wireless PowerShare<\/b>! <\/span><\/p>\n

While some might dismiss these features as afterthoughts, our Samsung Galaxy Note10+ review begs to differ. In fact, these additions only sweeten the overall package.<\/span><\/p>\n
