Inside of the Galaxy Note 10 is a 3500mAh battery that enables the device to last all day. And it features Super Fast Charging 2.0, which offers a 30-minute charge for power that lasts all day.
Pro: High-Quality Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features a rear triple camera: a 12-megapixel (wide), a 12-megapixel (telephoto), and a 16-megapixel (ultrawide). The cameras also feature bokeh effects for video recording so your 4K videos have more cinema quality.
There is a Zoom-in Mic feature that controls the sound around you as you zoom in or out. And the camera also features a Super Steady feature so you can shoot smoother natural action footage even in Hyperlapse mode.
The 10-megapixel camera on the front was moved to the center of the device for natural eye contact. And it has been upgraded for better low-light photos.
Pro: Large Immersive Display
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features a 6.3-inch touchscreen AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 (401 pixels per inch). Combining the larger display with the HDR10+ support provides a more immersive gaming and video-watching experience.
Pro: High-Performance Components
Inside of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset (U.S.) and the Exynos 9825 chipset (other countries) — which are built using 7nm EUV technologies. And there is 8GB of RAM built into the device to ensure that the device runs at lightning speeds.
Pro: Numerous New Colors
There are several colorful options for the Galaxy Note 10. The color options include Aura White, Aura Glow, Aura Black, Aura Pink, and Aura Red.
Pro: IP68 Rating
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features an IP68 rating. This means that it is dust and water resistant (up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes). And you can feel comfortable about taking your device in the shower or to the pool.
Con: Lack Of Storage Options
The Galaxy Note 10 has only 256GB of storage with no microSD support. If the lack of storage options for the Galaxy Note 10 is an issue, then you can consider getting the Note 10 Plus, which supports 512GB of storage and microSD support.
Con: Lack Of 3.5mm Jack
While it should not be a surprise that the Galaxy Note 10 would lack a 3.5mm jack, it can still be a negative for those of you who still prefer wired headphones. At the bottom of the Galaxy Note 10 is a USB-C port, which can be used for headphones including the one that is included in the box.
