The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is Samsung’s very sleek, very expensive new Note over the past week I have been testing the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and the Galaxy Note 10.
Good
Brilliant screen
S Pen is still a win
Fun photography features
Bad
Expensive
No headphone jack
One-day battery life
Samsung says this phone is aimed at creators, which means precisely nothing these days. But, for instance, if you are someone who leans more into fun photography or you enjoy the art of handwriting with an S Pen stylus, or you have quite big hands, then this is the phone for you.
It makes the six month old Galaxy S10 series out of date already and if you want the very best Samsung tech the Note 10 Plus has three mics to enable the well executed Zoom In Mic video feature versus the S10’s two.
The Galaxy Note 10 squeezes a 6.3-inch screen into a phone that’s about the same size as an iPhone XS. And it’s much easier to use with one hand than any other entry in the Note line. The Note 10 is largely the same as the 10+.

It’s very clear that the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is Samsung’s best phone yet. Although your wallet might be preemptively running when it comes to buy the phone, but no other phone from Samsung, or any manufacturer for that matter, offers quite as well-rounded of an approach as this.
In the week I’ve reached the realisation that not only is this Samsung’s best phone yet by quite a margin in fact. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is the best smartphone Android that I’ve ever had the pleasure of using and it is one I would like to keep hold of.
Not only is it the fastest Samsung phone ever, but it’s the biggest too. The cameras as plentiful as they are are absolutely superb, especially when it comes to video, and the battery life is sensational.
Indeed, of the two models, the Note 10 Plus is the phone I’d choose if I had enough money, that is. It might require two hands and a a big amount of cash, but it really doesn’t get much better than this.
