Samsung has always garnered appreciation for their innovations. For instance, in 2011, the company launched its first Galaxy Note with a 5.3-inch screen and a stylus, which instantly went on to become a commercial success. Now, almost eight years later, the company has announced its latest addition, the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 10+. Both the devices are all-round phones that appeal to several segments of users. Let’s see if the Note 10+ is the best in the market.

A Bit of Everything

The phone features a 6.8-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with a QHD+ resolution. It runs on Android 9 Pie, 7nm Octa-core processor, and 4300 mAh battery. It has 12GB RAM with 256GB storage space, which is expandable up to 1TB.

The phone has a rear quad-camera setup—a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, a 12MP f/1.5–f/2.4 wide-angle camera, a 12MP f/2.1 telephoto camera, and a f/1.4 DepthVision camera. There’s also 2x optical and 10x digital zoom, and multiple modes like Food, Night, Panorama, Live Focus, Pro, Photo, Live Focus Video, Super Slow-mo, Slow Motion, and Hyperlapse. You can choose what mode to add to the native camera interface. This degree of customizability is helpful.

The Pro mode is the only one that allows the use of dual apertures. It also has a Standard feature that includes options such as Colour temp., Tint, Contrast, Saturation, Highlight, and Shadows. Changes made to any of the above features are visible in real-time. In other words, most of the editing is achieved, even before the image is made.
