Unlike the previous ones, there are two variants of the 2019 Samsung Galaxy Note phone, and these are Galaxy Note 10 and the Note 10 Plus.

True, both of the latest Galaxy Note phones are successors to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but Samsung equipped the bigger Galaxy Note 10 Plus with the specs that is expected of the latest Galaxy Note phone from the mobile company.

Because, while the Galaxy Note 10 still shares a few basic specs with the previous Galaxy Note 9, the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus, on the other hand, offers a much better features such as a bigger display, higher RAM and higher battery capacity. The bigger phone also comes with the MicroSD Card slot (the feature that is missing in the new Galaxy Note 10).

Furthermore, Galaxy Note 10 Plus also presents the buyers with a more attractive design, improved screen quality, better processing power and triple rear camera. Despite all the exciting features, the traditional 3.5mm Audio Jack is missing in the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus (and its brother).

Meanwhile, Samsung equipped the new Galaxy Note S-Pen with all the attributes of the Galaxy Note 9 S-pen, with a few updates, though.

Galaxy Note 10 Plus Unveiled Different Design:

Samsung made 5 changes to the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus and they are;

Implementation of the recent HDR+10 certified Dynamic Amoled Infinity-O display.

The traditional top bezel has been removed while the bottom bezel has also been reduced drastically.

Triple Rear Camera that are vertically arranged.

3.5mm audio jack has been removed.

Power button is no more on the right side, it's now placed on the left side of the new Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus, occupying the position of the Bixby.

Compare to the 6.4-inch screen of the Galaxy Note 9, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with a much bigger 6.8-inch display, also, instead of having 18.5:9 aspect ratio like its predecessor, the new phone features 19:9 aspect ratio, which also means that, despite its ample size, the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus can be held and operate easily with one hand.

Also, as a result of the new design, which was introduced in the recent Samsung Galaxy S10, the entire display area of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus appears more attractive than that of its predecessor.

In other words, despite retaining the same curved screen, nearly edge-to-edge design of the previous Galaxy Note 9, Samsung has completely removed the traditional top bezel in the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and the bottom bezel has also been reduced drastically.

Instead of using notch (in place of the top bezel), like other smartphone makers, Samsung implemented punch-hole (a small cut-out hole) on the top of the new phone's screen, which houses the phone's selfie camera; the concept that the company also introduced in the Galaxy S10. However, unlike the Galaxy S10 which has its punch-hole positioned at the top, right-side, of the screen, the punch-hole of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus (and that of the Galaxy Note 10) is located at the top-centre of the screen, and the size of the punch-hole has also been reduced.

Meanwhile, unlike the Galaxy Note 9 that's fitted with a dual rear camera, the new Galaxy Note 10 features triple rear camera, and the three cameras are arranged vertically inside an enclosure. Next to the enclosure is the LED Flash and DepthVision Camera

Like in the recent Galaxy S10, the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus highly polished metal frame is placed in between the front and back Gorilla Glasses. There is no button on the right edge of the new Galaxy Note phone, because the Power Button has been moved to the left edge, occupying the previous position of the Bixby Button, which also implies that there's no Bixby Button again.

Still, the new phone's Power Button can also serves as the Bixby Button, therefore, press the power button once to unlock your new phone, press it twice to open the camera, and you'll have to press and hold the power button to launch the Bixby Virtual Assistant. Slightly above this newly positioned Power button is the Volume rocker.

The Phone's Hybrid SIM Tray is located on the top edge of the phone, while the S-Pen slot, USB Type-C and speaker grille are found on the bottom edge of the new Note. Also, while the LTE model of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus supports Hybrid SIM (Dual Nano SIM+microSD card slot), 5G model of the new phone supports only Single SIM Nano SIM+microSD card.

Weight, Price and Colours:

Despite its bigger size, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is flatter and lighter than its predecessor. Because, the previous Galaxy Note 9 has a thickness of 8.8mm and a weight of 201g, but the Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with a thickness of 7.9mm and a weight of 196g. Meanwhile, despite having the same thickness, the 5G model of the new phone have a different weight of 198g.

Samsung also added the AKG headphones with USB-C plug to the new Note phone. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes in different colours of Aura Black, Aura Blue, Aura White and Aura Glow; which is a mixture of Blue and White colours. And when it comes to its water resistant rating, Galaxy Note 10 Plus is IP68 Certified.

Because the Note 10 Plus is either come with a 256GB or 512GB internal storage space. Therefore, the price of the 256GB variant is around $1,099 in the U.S, £999 in the U.K, Rs. 79,999 in India, and 398,999 Naira (NG). While the price for the 512GB variant is $1,200 in the U.S, Rs. 89,999 in India, and 434,999 Naira (NG).

For the 5G model, the price of the 256GB variant is around $1,299 in the U.S, 1,099 in the U.K. While the price for the 512GB variant is $1,399 in the U.S and 1,199 in the U.K.

Processing Power:

As usual, the type of processor you have on your new Galaxy Note phone depends on your region or location, therefore, for those in the U.S, their Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, which is also came with the recent Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. It's a 7nm Octa-Core processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.84GHz. The new Galaxy Note 10 Plus with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset features Adreno 640, for its GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

And for those in the U.K and other regions, their Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus feature the Samsung's latest Exynos 9825 CPU, also a 7nm processor with EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet) technology, and it has a maximum clock speed of 2.73GHz. This latest Exynos 9825 chipset is reported to be faster than the Exynos 9820, found on the Galaxy S10, and the latest processor also promises to be more power efficient than its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Exynos 9825 powered Samsung Note 10 Plus, also comes with the Mali-G76 MP12, for its GPU.

RAM, Storage and Software:

Unlike the Galaxy Note 9 that gives you two memory options, Galaxy Note 10 Plus has no other RAM option apart from its 12GB of RAM. But, both LTE and 5G models of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus either have 256GB or 512GB of internal storage space; which can be expanded up to 1TB (Terabyte) through microSD card.  Concerning its O.S. (Operating System), Galaxy Note 10 is running on Android 9 (Pie) along with the Samsung One UI.

6.8-inch Dynamic Amoled Infinity-O Display.

The 6.8-inch display of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus features a small punch-hole (cut-out hole) on the top side of the screen, the concept that was introduced in the recent Galaxy S10, therefore, as a result of this changes and the implementation of the Dynamic Amoled panel (also introduced in the Galaxy S10), the Galaxy Note 10 Plus display is now called the Dynamic Amoled Infinity-O Display, instead of the Super Amoled Infinity Display, in the previous Galaxy Note 9.

While the 6.3-inch display of the new Galaxy Note 10 features Full HD (2280x1080), the 6.8-inch display of it's big brother, i.e. Galaxy Note 10 Plus, is equipped with a Quad HD+ resolution, the same Quad HD+ resolution is found on the previous Galaxy Note 9 display. But, due to the implementation of the 19:9 Aspect ratio in the latest Galaxy Note phones, there is a slighlty change in the QHD+ resolution of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, i.e. while the QHD+ resoluion of the previous Note 9 display is made up of  2960x1440 pixels, that of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus is made up of 3040x1440 pixels. Nevertheless, due to its big size, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus display has a slightly lower pixel density of 498ppi, compare to the 516ppi of the Galaxy Note 9 display.

Therefore, technically speaking, the Galaxy Note 9 screen will deliver a slightly sharper or detailed picture than that of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus, though the difference will be negligible. Still, due to its higher brightness and better contrast, the HDR10+ Certified Dynamic Amoled Infinity-O display of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is reported to have a more vibrant pictures and lifelike colours than the Super Amoled Infinity display of the Galaxy Note 9.

The Samsung Dynamic Amoled Infinity-O display also features Comfort Display technology, which reduces the screen blue light which causes eye fatigue for some people. 

Ultrasonic Fingerprint reader and S-Pen:

Because of the absence of the traditional fingerprint reader on the back of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, Samsung implemented Ultrasonic In-display Fingerprint reader in the new phone, this type of In-display fingerprint reader was debut by the Samsung in its recent Galaxy S10, and it's reported to be highly responsive than the Optical In-display fingerprint reader, which is common among other recent phones.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus In-display fingerprint sensor can be located towards the bottom of the screen.

Meanwhile, compare to that of its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 10 S-Pen appears shorter and more round (same can be said of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus 25W Charger). Apart from that, nothing has changed much, because, Samsung returns all the features of the previous Galaxy Note 9 S-Pen in the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus. For instance, the new S-Pen also equipped with an highly sensitive, responsive but precise tip.

Also, as a result of its in-built Bluetooth Low Energy, the digital pen can also serves as a remote control (up to distance of 10 metres) for taking pictures, playing music, navigating your photo gallery and it can also be used to pause/play YouTube videos.

Still, there are few updates in the new S-Pen. For instance, the company claims that the latest S-Pen can last up to 10 hours, outside its slot, and you can also use the new S-Pen to switch between front and back cameras. The new S-Pen can also be used to zoom in or zoom out your presentation. The S-Pen can be recharged by returning it back to its slot, which is located at the bottom edge of the new phone, close to the USB Type-C port, just like in the Galaxy Note 9.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Front and Back Cameras:

Unlike the Samsung Note 9 that has dual back camera, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus features

three, vertically arranged, rear cameras. And these triple back camera comprises of 16MP, 12MP and 12MP, in descending order.

The first 16-megapixel f/2.2 lens is the Ultra Wide Camera, which has ability to capture 123 degrees of Filed-Of-View (FOV).

This is followed by the 12-megapixel Wide Angle Camera, and it's also the Main camera with a Dual Aperture (f/1.5 and f/2.4) lens, that automatically adjust the Dual or Variable Aperture to regulate the amount of light that enter the camera lens to produce a detailed and a natural looking picture, irrespective of the lighting condition of your surroundings.

And lastly, the third 12-megapixel f/2.1 lens is the Telephoto Camera, and it's for taking telephoto or portrait pictures. And like the recent Galaxy S10, both the Main lens and Telephoto lens of the new phone also feature PDAF and OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer), to mention a few. Meanwhile, the 10-megapixel f/1.2 front facing camera of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is placed inside the screen punch-hole.

In short, both the front and the back cameras of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus also feature most of the picture enhancements that came with cameras of the recent Galaxy S10, for instance, there is Life Focus (for bokeh effect); which helps you to blur the background of your picture, in order to make the subject appear more pronounced. There is also Live Focus Video, which allows you to use the same bokeh effect for your videos.

In addition to that is the Zoom-In-Mic and Night Mode Camera, the latter lets you take clearer and noise-less shots (including selfies) in a low light condition or at night.

4500mAh Battery & 25W Charger:

Perhaps, due to its ample screen size, Samsung equipped Galaxy Note 10 Plus with a 4500mAh battery, which is better than 3500mAh battery that came with its smaller sibling. Although, Galaxy Note 10 Plus also supports 15W Charger (which came with its predecessor), the new phone and its small brother are equipped with a more faster 25W Charger. In addition to the 25W Charger, there is still an optional super fast 45W Charger, but it's only supported by the Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

Furthermore, Samsung returns its 15W wireless charging features called Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, to the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and Galaxy Note 10. There is also Wireless PowerShare, which was introduced in the recent Galaxy S10. Wireless PowerShare allows you to use the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus to charge other Qi-enabled device(s) such as Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Buds, by placing the backing of any of the Qi-devices on the back of the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus.
