Enjoy a Raw View of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus
The Galaxy Note 10 Plus has made its debut, and it brought plenty of innovative features to the market. On top of being one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2019, Samsung’s latest release is redefining phablets. The Galaxy Note lineup already has a cult following, and this latest addition to the franchise only validates its fan base. Out of the available variations, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus steals the show. This massive phone is packed with enough surprises to warrant the premium $1,099 price tag.
Samsung did its best to keep the Note 10’s features under wraps during its entire production, which allowed speculation to reach nearly hysteric levels. Now that the Galaxy Note 10 is finally available to the public, it’s time to separate fact from fiction. This is undoubtedly the most talked about phone on the market, which means it’s shrouded in a thick layer of rumors. To help identify whether this phone lives up to the hype, we put the Galaxy Note 10 Plus to the test. What we found was impressive, since it managed to surprise us in the least expected areas. Prepare to get an intimate glimpse at its features with this in-depth article!
Examining the Galaxy Note 10 Plus
When it comes to first impressions, it’s impossible not to fall head over heels for the Note 10 Plus. From the Aura Glow to 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, this is a downright seductive presentation. Samsung managed to fit this massive display inside a design that’s both lighter and thinner than the Galaxy Note 9. This was accomplished by thinning out the bezels and accommodating the single front camera into a non-assuming cutout. While the Aura Glow design attracts plenty of finger-prints, the way it changes colors in the light is absolutely breathtaking.
Another notable accomplishment was fitting a gigantic 4,300mAh battery into the Note 10 Plus. Samsung finally joined its peers and ditched the headphone jack, which provided enough room for this innovation. To the relief of many users, Samsung also got rid of the Bixby side button. Thanks to the discarding of these features, the Galaxy Note 10 can surf the web for an impressive 11 hours and 46 minutes. That’s over 2 hours longer than the OnePlus 7 Pro, which previously held the record for battery life.
These impressive improvements are backed up by equally powerful hardware and new S Pen capabilities. Armed with 12GB RAM, 256GB of internal storage and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 CPU, the Note 10 Plus is a force to be reckoned with. It loads apps and charges at lightning speeds, which is perfect for users who want to put its HDR10+ screen to the test. The S Pen also underwent a makeover, since it’s now capable of Air Actions and AR Doodle. While these features may seem slightly gimmicky, there are useful applications for them.
Even though the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is a beast, it isn’t perfect. By pairing wide-angle and ultra-wide optics with telephoto lens, its rear 3 camera setup takes great shots. These renderings are noticeably better than the Note 9, and the 10MP front facing camera also delivers solid selfies. Despite these advancements, it can’t compete with the artificial intelligence boasted by the Google Pixel 3 XL. In many comparisons it performs worse in low light, but these issues are forgivable given the slew of other premium features.
Boasting a massive screen, larger than life battery and the trademark S Pen, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is built to impress. While some may argue that its cameras aren’t as powerful as the Pixel 3 or Huawei P30 Pro, it has plenty of advantages in its favor. It packs enough surprises to charm even the most jaded consumer, which is an impressive feat in such a saturated market. At the end of the day, Samsung did an exceptional job with the Note 10 Plus. This release single handedly revives the Note lineup, so don’t hesitate to indulge in its epic features!
