EARLY VERDICT 

The Galaxy Note 10 is Samsung's least demanding to utilize S Pen-toting telephone yet, and keeping in mind that there may not be any game-changing highlights to make this an unquestionable requirement purchase handset, it appears to be a strong expansion to the Note go. In case you're searching for Samsung's definitive top-end gadget you'll need to settle on the Note 10 Plus, yet in the event that you need to set aside a touch of cash, or you're after a littler telephone with a stylus, this is the Note to go for.

FOR 

Simpler to hold 

Solid video recording 

AGAINST 

Needs microSD support 

No earphone jack 

Samsung's most recent phablet is here, and it's the first in the Note line to highlight an all-screen show, despite the fact that it appears to be unique to the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus.

Its edge-to-edge show innovation is still called Infinity-O, yet here the pattern for the forward looking camera is arranged in the middle at the highest point of the telephone's screen, instead of at the upper right. This arrangement of the single roundabout focal point makes a particularly cyclops-like look - an eye staring out at you like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

This is the first run through in some time that Samsung has presented two Galaxy Note telephones simultaneously. There's the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 - that is the one you're finding out about appropriate here - and it's joined by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

The Note 10 Plus has a recognizably bigger showcase, and is consequently greater all in all, and it accompanies a couple of updates in the engine and in the camera division contrasted with the standard model.

Before we begin, make certain to look at our video hands on ...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 design and display

The greatest plan change contrasted with other Samsung telephones is the presentation of a full-screen show with a punch-gap pattern for the forward looking camera at the top-focal point of the screen - the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus both have the selfie camera at the upper right.

The Note 10 has a 6.3-inch AMOLED show with a Full HD goals, coming in at 2280 x 1080 pixels, with 401 pixels for each inch. It incorporates HDR 10+ innovation, and thinking about that Samsung hasn't decided on a QHD show here we're dazzled with how the presentation looks.

We were utilizing the telephone in regular daylight, and we couldn't test the nature of the presentation in an inside domain, yet out of entryways it looked noteworthy.

Regardless of whether that will remain the situation when you're contrasting the handset with other Samsung telephones is indistinct, however video we viewed on the showcase seemed dynamic and clear.

Some may not be fanatics of the focal situation of the camera sensor, however it's seemingly significantly less meddling than the indents you jump on other well known telephones, similar to the iPhone XS.

The Note 10 isn't only littler than the Note 9, it's likewise lighter and more slender. It gauges 72 x 151 x 7.9mm, and at 168g it's one of the lightest lead Samsung telephones accessible.

This is a Note that is intended for those with littler hands, who need the top-end highlights, for example, the S Pen stylus yet don't need a gigantic telephone that is hard to hold.

All things considered, this is as yet a major telephone, and those with littler hands will probably battle to utilize it one-gave - don't anticipate that it should be as simple to use as handsets like the iPhone SE or Sony's Compact line of Xperia telephones.

As on the S10 and S10 Plus, Samsung has implanted the unique mark scanner under the screen here, and it's somewhat higher than under-show scanners on some other Android telephones. This feels like a progressively agreeable spot to put it, as your thumb normally falls on this territory when you're utilizing the telephone.

On the base edge of the telephone you'll discover the USB-C connector in the middle, with a speaker and the S-Pen opening sitting to one side of it. The top edge of the telephone is continuous separated from the SIM plate.

The left-hand edge of the telephone is home to the volume rocker, and the power catch underneath this. Samsung has selected to kill the Bixby catch that has showed up on a great deal of ongoing Samsung leaders - to enact that component you now simply hold down the power catch for a couple of moments, which is an undeniably progressively proficient arrangement.

The edge of the telephone is a top notch metal, while the back is made of glass. Your shading choices are Aura Glow (a blend of blue and white), Aura Black and Aura Pink, yet it's at present misty which markets will get which hues.

We especially preferred the Aura Glow variation, the shade of which changes relying upon the light you're utilizing the telephone under.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 camera 

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 review

In the event that you've utilized the Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus, you'll see that the Galaxy Note 10's camera isn't an energizing overhaul over those telephones. It's utilizing a similar blend of a 16MP ultra-wide focal point, a 12MP normal focal point and a 12MP zooming focal point.

These should consolidate to convey a phenomenal photography experience, on the off chance that they fill in just as on the Galaxy S10 territory. We had a constrained time to test the cameras during our hands-on audit, however from what we saw they appeared to catch pictures that looked just as great as those from other ongoing Samsung telephones.

The greater part of the Note 10's enhancements in the camera office are in its video recording abilities. The picture adjustment innovation has been improved, and there's another element called Live Focus Video, which empowers you to catch 'bokeh' foundation obscure impacts of the sort were accustomed to finding in representation mode stills.

You can make a subject fly out from their experience in different ways as well, for instance by keeping your subject in shading while at the same time making the scenery high contrast - again this is an impact we've seen for stills, yet it's another thought for video .

On the Note 10 this is altogether accomplished through programming, yet the Note 10 Plus utilizations a different DepthVision focal point to do something amazing - so if this seems like an unquestionable requirement have highlight for you, it's probably going to work better on the bigger telephone.

Another component is called AR Doodle, which empowers you to compose over the highest point of moving pictures. This works along these lines to channels on Instagram or Snapchat with its expanded reality tech, however this is rather structured so you can make your own pictures utilizing the S-Pen.

The front camera is in the focal point of the presentation, and it's a 10MP sensor. We've yet to have much time testing this out, yet we'll make certain to delve into how well it functions in our up and coming full audit.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 specs 

As this is a Galaxy Note telephone, the S Pen stylus is here to give you a chance to take notes, draw on the screen and then some. In case you're after a telephone with a stylus, this is one of only a handful couple of gadgets at present accessible, and the others are generally other Note handsets.

Upgrades to the S Pen for the Note 10 incorporate signal controls that enable you to control certain applications, for example, the camera, video or exhibition, by moving the S Pen in various ways.

This is right now constrained to Samsung applications, however the organization is permitting outsider application designers to get to this element, so we may see outsider applications start to utilize it in the coming months.

Those in the US will approach the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset inside their telephone. In case you're in the UK (and different nations around the globe) you'll get the recently declared its Exynos 9825 chipset, which is constructed utilizing 7nm EUV innovation.

This basically permits Samsung to make a chipset that is littler yet increasingly effective, and the organization has incorporated the new contribute the Note 10.

The telephone is pressing 8GB of RAM, and it's just accessible with 256GB of capacity - there's no microSD backing, and Samsung says this is to help keep the size of the gadget down. That is a lot of room for the normal client, yet in the event that you need more you'll need to decide on the Note 10 Plus, which accompanies 512GB of inherent stockpiling just as microSD support.

Another component that has been dropped in the push to keep the Note 10 thin is the 3.5mm earphone jack. This is the first run through Samsung has dropped the jack from its top-end telephones, and some will be discontent with the choice. You'll have the option to utilize the USB-C port at the base of the telephone for specific earphones (counting a couple in the container), yet it might mean you'll need to supplant a portion of the links you current use.

Samsung has selected to put a 3,500mAh battery inside the Note 10. We're yet to hear how that battery will perform, however we'll make certain to put the battery through hell during our full audit.

Remote charging is close by, and you'll likewise have the option to utilize Samsung's Wireless PowerShare highlight to charge perfect gadgets like earphones, smartwatches or different telephones from your Note 10.

Searching for a telephone with 5G support? The Galaxy Note 10 isn't it - you'll need to pick an increasingly costly 5G form of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus to have the option to get that help installed.

In case you're searching for a simpler to-hold Galaxy Note telephone, this might be it. In case you're searching for the most dominant gadget that Samsung offers, you'll need to look at the Galaxy Note 10 Plus.
