A Review of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus

If you want a smartphone that comes with all of the desirable features, you can safely consider looking at a Samsung smartphone. One of the latest flagships to talk about here is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus which promises better performance, longer battery life, amazing photo and video shoot, great display and much more.

The phone’s design is characterized by its prismatic Aura Glow color which is definitely something striking to look at. This phone has the in-screen fingerprint scanner which is more accurate the ones in Galaxy S10 series. This phone also has a night mode which allows you to take better photos in low light.

When it comes to drawbacks of this phone, the first noticeable thing is the absence of a headphone jack. And, you are going to have to relearn about the use of power button to turn the phone off and take screenshot. The function of depth-sensing camera is also not quite up to the mark. And the major drawback is that this phone might seem expensive to most of the people. The starting price is $1,100 and 5G version is available at $1,300.

But one thing worth mentioning about Note 10 Plus is that it is not a mainstream phone. This phone is mainly for the power users who want to use bigger device. For normal users, going for this phone is just overkill.

A smaller version of Note 10 is also available. This phone has a 6.3-inch screen and its costs $150 less than the Note 10 Plus. Samsung has stepped back on specs on this smaller version but this phone is capable of doing 90% of what Note 10 Plus can do.
