Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus review: Q: Another word for excellent? A: Samsung
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was considered one of the hottest handsets of the year even though it boasted incremental upgrades over the Galaxy Note 8. With the Note 9, Samsung had once again proved that its Note Series was an all-inclusive device that featured zero compromises. Following its past philosophy, this phablet-sized device came with all the bells and whistles you expect from a Note handset.
The South Korean tech giant once again proved that if it isn’t broken, it needs no fixing. However, this was then and a year is a long time in the tech world. And Samsung has shown that its favourite larger-than-life flagship needs a substantial upgrade and it no longer needs to be an also-ran; but, prove that it can beat the best in the industry and have enough in the tank to stay relevant even for a year more.
Enter the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. These handsets come with stark differences from what we know about the Note Series and all the while raising some questionable eyebrows. The Galaxy Note 10 series are truly one of the finest handsets in the market; however, they have skipped on a couple of features that die-hard Note fans appreciate and love.
Yes, we are talking about the 3.5mm headphone jack and its exclusion. This is the first time Samsung has ditched this fan-favourite feature on a flagship and with it, they are the last of the bigger brands to do away with the port. The smaller Note 10 as well as the larger Note 10 Plus, both forego this feature. However, unlike the Note 10, the Plus-sized device does come with expandable storage; which is sort of a consolation.
Apart from these notable misses, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is a major improvement over the Note 9 in practically every aspect, be it its gorgeous display, insane camera capabilities, larger battery with super-fast charging speeds and the handy S Pen which comes with its own set of new magical tricks.
In for review, we have the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and boy, this is one of the best smartphones ever. Having spent a few days with it as our daily driver, here are our reasons why this smartphone is the one for you.
