This phablet from Samsung is trimmer than prior models, but it still packs top-end specs, a vibrant display and a handy stylus.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 range of phablets from Samsung represented the brand’s most premium non-folding phones from 2019, and you heard us right – it’s now a range of phablets rather than just one phone, as it’s joined by the bigger Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are the first handsets in the Note line to feature an all-screen display, although it looks slightly different to the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus. Its edge-to-edge display technology is still called Infinity-O, but here the cut-out for the front-facing camera is aligned in the center at the top of the phone’s screen, rather than pushed to the top right. This placement of the single circular lens creates a distinctly cyclops-like look – an eye gazing out at you like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey. This central punch-hole is also adorning the more recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra too. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 phones are the company’s 2019 line of stylus-toting phones, but the Galaxy Note 20 expected in August 2020 will take the title of ‘newest’, although with the 2020 launch of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite prospective buyers have plenty of choice. Unsurprisingly, the Note 10 Plus has a noticeably larger display, and it comes with a few upgrades under the hood and in the camera department compared to the standard model. Below we’ll be talking you through our experience with the Galaxy Note 10, but be sure to consider the larger (and therefore more expensive) handset if you’re looking for the top spec offered by Samsung – though that crown will likely be taken by Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 10 in August 2019, and it was available soon after, alongside the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. That means you can now buy the phone in the US, UK and Australia as well as a variety of other countries around the world.
