Samsung Galaxy Note 10

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is the compact Note that fans have been asking for. With a size similar to the S10, you finally have a Galaxy flagship at your disposal that you can not only control with the S Pen, but also with which you can create content with.

Small Note, great performance

Last years Samsung made it easy for itself. It took the last Galaxy S, put an S Pen in it and called it a day. How different is it this year? Not only does this Note 10 have its own head, it is also available in several sizes. And if you, as a loyal Note-fan, think that this Note10 is the true successor to the Note 9, then you've been deceived. For that you really have to be at the Note10+. This corresponds in size. This Galaxy Note 10 is a lot smaller than you are used to with a Note. In terms of size, it even corresponds to the S10. Now, some manufacturers may want to equip their more compact model with lower specifications, but that doesn't apply to the Note 10. This is a full-fledged Note with high-end specifications and powerful performance.

New look with improved S Pen

The new look is mainly due to the new location of the selfie camera. No longer tucked away in a corner but neatly alined in the middle. It is also much smaller, so the screen is less interrupted. At 6.3 inches it is generous. But by using even smaller screen edges, the device itself is not exaggeratedly large. The frame is made of stainless steel and holds the two glass plates firmly together. At the bottom we find the S Pen tucked away, which you can push out as usual. The pen now has its own cheerful colour and can be used to operate the device but also to take notes, as a remote control and, brand new, wireless control. Thanks to built-in motion detection, you can use it to adjust the volume, adjust camera angle and swipe photos. Also new is handwriting recognition and AR Doodles where you can make 3D drawings across videos.

Improved Video Camera

On the back we find a triple camera with super wide angle lens, wide-angle lens and telephoto zoom lens. In practise, this means that you can bring images closer without loss of quality. The presence of multiple cameras also allows the Note 10 to see depth and add a portrait mode. Pictures with this have a nice out-of-focus background that brings your subject forward. New to the camera is the video mode. It gets many of the same photo options as Live Focus and filters like Blur Filter and Glitch Filter. There is also a zoom microphone. This amplifies the sound of what you are zooming in on; smart!

Differences Note10 and Note10+

As mentioned before, this Samsung Galaxy Note10 shares many of the same features as the Note 10+. For example, we are thinking of the processor. But there are differences. For example, this Note 10 does not have the ability to expand memory. You are stuck with the 256 GB it is equipped with. This is the first time that the memory of a Note model cannot be expanded by itself. If you really need more then you will have to swerve to the Note 10+. The memory is expandable and there is also a 512 GB version available. Something also missing with the Note 10 is a headphone port. This is also unique for a Note. Samsung says it did this to increase the battery capacity by 100 mAh. Something that is always nice but unfortunate.
