- Analysis by KJ David
The Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus, which shares pretty much most of its 5G-enabled sibling's pros and cons (save for the 5G network support, obviously), is a supersized version of the Note10 whose biggest cons include its 10-megapixel-only front cam resolution , considering that the best selfie phones available as we were reviewing its specs do not go for anything lower than 16 megapixels. Also, it is not offered in the Note10's Aura Pink and Aura Red colorways , instead donning more formal finishes.
Looking at the rest of its features, though, the Note10+ winds up as one of Samsung's most-advanced smartphones as of this Phonerated write-up, with a flagship-class 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED Quad HD+ (3040 x 1440) screen leading the way. Like some of the best phablets out there today, its aforementioned display supports HDR10+ content as well as an Always On Display mode.
Powering its interface is a premium-class triple-cluster eight-core Snapdragon 855 engine consisting of a single-core performance cluster running at 2.8GHz, a tri-core mid cluster clocked at 2.4GHz, and a quad-core 1.7GHz efficiency cluster. Joining its hardware pros and cons is a 12GB RAM that makes it sound way more promising versus many competing phablets, at least when it comes to gaming and multitasking.

Sitting on its rear end is a highly-competitive quad camera setup that combines a 12-megapixel primary lens with a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens (123 degrees), and a VGA DepthVision cam that's specifically designed for 3D photography. Its key imaging features include a 4K-2160p video capture capability, a 960fps Super Slow-mo mode, and dual OIS (optical image stabilization).
Joining the mix are a 4300mAh battery that's compatible with both wired (45W) and wireless (WPC/PMA) charging, Samsung's trademark Knox security suite, and the S Pen stylus accessory, the latter being a staple facet among Samsung's Galaxy Note models.
Running on Android 9.0 Pie out of the box, the Galaxy Note10+ is easily a large-screen phone for those with some heavy productivity and multimedia in mind.
On-paper Review rating:
It is touted as a rugged phone (more sturdy, better water-resistance, etc).
Its Single 2.8GHz (+ Triple 2.4GHz + Quad 1.7GHz -- Dual 2.73GHz + Quad 2.4GHz + Quad 1.9GHz for Exynos model) processor speed combined with 8 cores is part of the fastest.

We're dealing with a hefty display here, making it a phablet: 6.8 inches and a resolution of 3040 x 1440 pixels means about 17.9 square inches and an image quality of at least 498 dots per inch (DPI)!
The Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus is not sold with a memory card but it can accept up to 1000GB of memory expansion, which is convenient to store photos taken with the built-in 12-megapixel (wide-angle cam combined with a 16-megapixel ultra-wide cam, a 12-megapixel telephoto cam, and a VGA DepthVision cam) camera.
It sports a high-resolution built-in camera (12-megapixel (wide-angle cam combined with a 16-megapixel ultra-wide cam, a 12-megapixel telephoto cam, and a VGA DepthVision cam)) with the following options: HDR10+ recording, Playback zoom, Video location tags, Shooting modes (Food, Night, Panorama, Pro, Live focus, Live focus video, Super, Slow-mo, Slow motion, Hyperlapse), HDR, Grid lines, Location tags, Motion photos, Floating shutter button.
If Samsung's measurements are accurate, the Galaxy Note10+ and its (4300mAh)
The 10-megapixel selfie cam offers an above-decent resolution.
It's all well and good that the Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus can record high-resolution 3840 x 2160 movies, but we were disappointed not to find any evidence of the Galaxy Note10+ featuring an HDMI port (which is convenient to watch HD videos on your shiny HDTV.)
