Galaxy Note 10 Plus review: the luxury phone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Samsung Note 10 Plus - here's our review for the king of Android phones. Can it keep the crown, or have all the other, less expensive contenders made it just another phone? The answer to that question, Dieter Bohn says, is simply this: how much would you pay to have a stylus in your phone?

What do you want to know about the smaller Note 10?
It doesn't make sense as a phone.... I had big phone but the price ND the abilities just not justify...
Why does it exist?
H. Kashyap ☝️ I was gonna ask that same question lol.
Is it the better deal
Why so many people hate it. I'm holding it in my hand right now and it's pretty great.
Let's just take a minute to appreciate that stunning intro...
It gave me goosebumps. Felt like I was looking into the future, only it's now.
I super duper agree 😍😍😍
I purchased the Note 10 Plus. I loooove the battery life. Its unbelievable. I go all day without charging it. I have never had a phone I did not have to charge until I came home at night. Plus, the phone charges fully usually 47 min. Super fast!!! Love this phone.
You can buy a 45 watt charger from samsung and it will charge in 30 mins
did you just said slightly faster charging? 15 w on s10+
vs 45w(possibly) or 25w out of the box for note10+ is not at all slightly.
The S10+ features 18W and the Note10+ comes with a 25W charger so its a 7W increase. That's not that big. The 45W is not that big of an argument because you have to buy it. People also never mentioned that the iPhones have up to 29W fast charge - because you have to buy it separatly
@@Raja995mh33 but the charging times are different and the power delivery is now usb power delivery, so the charging times arw actually significantly better than the s10+ and surprisingly better than oneplus even with only 25w charger (1hr5mins based on the other video)
@@Raja995mh33 iPhones have up to 18W charging via USB-C PD, not 29W.
But honestly you shouldn't be fast charging most of the time, fast charging isn't good for battery health. Most people are better off if they turn fast charging off, and only turn it on when they need it.
@@Raja995mh33 Yes it is big. Charging speed tests show a massive difference. And Samsung actually gives you a fast charger in the box unlike apple so that's not even a comparison.
I feel like at this point the review for every new Note phone could basically be cut down to like basically "Do you want the S-pen? Then buy this phone. Otherwise go with the regular Galaxy S model."
Everyone is saying the big con is the missing headphone jack but I don't see anybody talking about the lack of the heart rate sensor I used to use that all the time and it's not on the Note 10 or plus anymore, 😣😢
Dex is amazing! Cover Linux Distro support, plz!
Came here to say this. And I use DeX regularly. It especially came in handy after my laptop died. And I use it with a spare monitor and bluetooth peripherals-even though every reviewer seems to act like no one would ever do that.
Absolutely even bought the new nexdock2 because I want to use dex more for on the road/train
Yes, running Linux on Note 10 Dex is a game changer. Next video should cover that.
Linux on dex, just search it
Still Linux on Dex not capable to use Calibre e-Book manager
Enjoyable review. Only thing I don't think you mentioned is the 10 plus has the micro sd slot.
Looking forward to you DeX review.
I just got the note 10 plus and it blows apple out of the park. To say that I'm impressed with Samsung's latest flagship phone is an understatement! (Coming from a former apple diehard fan). Android is where it's at now, trust me... no notch!
He did more downgrading the phone then he did promoting it however he still called it the Rolex of phones ....however I have the ten plus and I love it
Shoulda waited until next year to drop the headphone jack 💨
Eventually it was going to happen.
Watching on Note 10+ 512 GB Aura Black 😊
Hows the 3d scanner?
@@philliptran8831 yet to explore it. Will let you know today for sure.
@@philliptran8831 it's with Bixby vision in camera. It's not launched yet outside Korea and Thailand. Other features are cool too like length breadth measurements & AR motion pictures..
@@philliptran8831 got it today.. Its pretty difficult to scan objects precisely. We need good lighting with a contrasting background & precise hand movements & stability.. Background Like green screen is optimum. Also it's difficult to marinate the object clearly. Let's see if Samsung can update it soon
I don't care about stylus but I care about getting the biggest best screen and battery. So note 10+ is perfect.
Because stay with only one color if you can have all colors in the Note 10 🌈🔥
You like rainbows?
still cheaper than an iPhone xs max XD
I agree 100% on having 3 different ecosystem in your mobile.
Google, Samsung and Microsoft and trust me sometimes its too much.
2 is max, I get confused between samsung and Microsoft accounts.
On one side Samsung is backing up my data, sometimes Microsoft and google is always their.
I wish it could have only one unified account or max upto 2.
I'm still on note 5 but I use the S-pen so often, screengrabs n highlighting, scroll captures, crops, editting work documents and texts, touching up pictures etc etc.
I just can't get a phone without the S-pen.
My only issue with the note 5 is the lack of expandable memory (memory card). If only Note 10 plus was less expensive...
4:00 - this dude doesn't understand the difference between 15w vs 45w charging 😑
Should have had a 4K 90 hertz screen to give the gear VR a boost imo
Great video! When's the review of that Fossil Gen 5 on your wrist coming?
The production has been amazing lately! Good job,especially you dieter.
Anastasis Barbantonis dieter is one of the best reviewers on verge right now

This was great in every way. Awesome job guys!
Excellent production.
But your review is "good" but you always end up your reviews with a: "this ain't it Chief" unless it's an Apple product. You end the "review" on a note that will affect the decision of the buyer, let the buyer decide. I hate that you never want to compromise and use ambiguous wording, how come it's never "it"? You're good but not great.
All other review aggregators I've seen online also give the top spot to Apple, not just Deiter.. I'm an Android user, but maybe the latest iPhone is just a better product?
@@zzzzzzzzzzz6 don't think I've seen a single online reviewer give the top spot to apple, Linus tech tips, trusted reviews, unbox therapy, and a ton of other random websites. Apple just seems to not have that much to offer anymore and that's coming from someone who used an Apple phone their entire life (until last year)
Also apples market share has dropped 5% from Huawei in the past few months.
Samsung the best to me
Huawei: "Guys our phone has 3 colours"
Samsung: "Hold my gradients"
Samsung should've called the smaller one the Note10e at 850 dollars and the plus version should've been the regular Note10 at 1k dollars
If this is the case then every phone above 700 should be atleast 200 less
In 3-4 months for sure.
vaibhav it can’t cuz the tech is so expensive
I agree, sorta. It’s like Samsung decided to make the smaller version a “e” version but also didn’t commit all the way. The fact that s10e has a microsd slot and the note 10 doesn’t is just a blatant money grab.
Just so you can afford it? In that case everyone should make their phones cheaper. The naming convention makes all the sense in the world, especially if they'll be making two sizes going forward.
Watching this on my Note 10+
same lol
Isn't it released tmr
Same. Got mine on Wednesday :)
I'll never understand why people are preordering phones. Especially Samsung phones that will drop in price so fast...
same
This happens when you handover a flagship to a confused person who doesn't know what that thing is. Come on, you are making a video to conclude something for your viewers, not to confuse them.
I bought the Note 10 plus .... And no it wasn't because of the S Pen. It's nice and ( after 2 days using ) sometimes practically but the main reason was because of the big, boxy display. I'm sick of those largely rounded corners and to narrow displays. Last year I bought the Mate 20 pro ... a damn beast but the display just wasn't wide enough 😕. Years ago I swore to myself to never buy a Samsung phone again but damn .... Samsung got better 💪🏼
I'm genuinely surprised how thorough and beautiful this review is wow. Samsung did a great job this year with their flagship line (S10 & Note 10). Thinking about what's ahead I don't expect much change next year but in 2021 I'm super excited for what Samsung will have for us 🙌🏽.
It's incredible how with every Android phone review from The Verge the text is always the same: "Yeah... That's nice, but actually, it's not that great". And that's with literally everything.
Exactly. That's why: If it isn't iPhone, the Verge doesn't love it.
Not really, Note 10 just isnt a nice upgrade from s10+(w/c you can literally buy 600$ or cheaper now)
Unless it's a Pixel or Huawei 🤦🏾♂️
I've been with this phone for 4 days after having iPhone for 6 years. I got so bored with iphone and tired. I saw this phone and I had to get my hands on it. The aura glow color is so beautiful the display is amazing. I love it so much
Cant find the aura glow now adays. Or a note ten plus with no 5g.
Welcome to the android ecosystem...
Why do you look annoyed talking about the features? Who gets mad at feature packed phones as if it's a bad thing? Lol!
@Adrian yeah maybe cause he doesn't look happy. 🤣
This guy is a iPhone man I can spot them anywhere the Note 10plus is the phone of the year hands down
@@tracypowell3922 i have no problem with Tech reviewers loving the iPhone but atleast be fair reviewing products cause they owe that tothe viewers. 🤷♀️
Features =/= gimmicks
Omg absolutely. He's all "It's has EVERYTHING... But I'll never buy it for that reason, it's okay"
What's with all the downplay after the upsell?
"slightly faster charging speeds"
15W vs 45W is NOT 'slightly faster'
Especially if you're coming from a 5W charger.
@@koushikneriyanuri5420 out of the box yes. Capable of 45w. Do you drive 50 mph if you have a Lamborghini? No
Comes with a 25w but you can get the 45w online and it'll charge in a half hr
@@Nishith8 lol
@@Nishith8 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 so true.
Something tells me America is jealous of Samsung because their homegrown Apple is way down the lane when it comes to pure innovation.
That intro looks even better on 6.8 inch screen of note 10 plus 🙂
Why nobody is talking about how quietly Samsung removed heart rate sensor?
And note search feature works in note 9 ,not an exclusive feature for note10
You are confused or shocked?
Works on note 8 too
Err... no, I think it incorporated into the under screen fingerprint
Probably because nobody used it. It's irrelevant really. And for the 10 people it did well congratulations you are a minority.
I believe that the note 10+ is for a particular crowd. It is for power users, gamers and for the business minded person not the common person that is just going to make calls and txt. You either purchase this device for particular purpose or just to have the latest tech.
Couldnt have said it better 👌 this is exactly right i use my phone basically every second of the day because i practically work on it and it can get tiring charging my phone 2 or 3 times a day
I was on the note series (3 and 4) before moving to my s8+ and now im actually missing the stylus.......
Then buy the Note 10 or 10+ when it comes to buying a new phone....
i have know idea about tech but i have a note 4 and need a new phone and dont want to get rid of the stylus. but as i am a total luddite i feel like i dont need it, im juqt used to having it .. what to do ??
I love the stylus 👌💥💙
@@bkilg2509 wait for a good deal and buy the note10plus. I upgraded from the s8 and I LOVE IT
@@emjd I'm about to purchase something in the next two days. You comment comes timely !
The issue with Samsung devices it that they’re too expensive and they depreciate in value in less than 4 to 5 months. Purchase a Samsung device for $1,200 and I guarantee you won’t even get $600 for it a couple months later. I love their phones I just hate they’re so over priced. iPhones are actually worth it because they hold their value and Apple sends out updates for your older months for years to come. Even the iPhone 6s is still getting iOS updates. Set your game up Samsung
TheDarkCloudNC I bought a XR last year for $1200 right before Christmas. Right after Christmas they were being given away for $0 on contract. Give me a break, all these phones are like that.
alphie20 An XR? Dude the XR is a budget iPhone and they’re selling them for $479 on Apples website with a trade in
The S pen is my reason for getting the note 10 (upgrading from the note 8). I like digital painting and that's enough for me to go for the note 10 over the S10. So far I really like it.
What painting program do you use? I am currently an iphone user but I am considering switching to this device.
@@Scoopy1979 I've been using art rage
No one complaining about the price? Wow if this was an iPhone people would be absolutely shtting all over it burning holes in their wallets.
This review is a little irritating, being 'over' everything. As if it's all mediocre, we're talking about one of the greatest devices in the world. But ho hum. It's a downer review.
Your presentation is always the best.
Got mine today and I love it.
I'm currently waiting on the damn Fed Ex guy to get here with mine right now 😂 keep checking status updates.
Congratulations bro. Which phone did you had before?
@@chsjenkins you got it yet??
@@mayanas9674 yeah I finally got it and still setting it up before I really dig into it.
You definitely never tried Mr. Mobile
That's why I love it. Variety my friend. I have the pleasure to chose between Window apps, google apps and Samsung apps. Did I mention I love this phone. Thx for the great review
Yes I do need the stylus so badly. It’s useful for me, I’m a content planner and events coordinator, Note 8 made my life easier. I took tons of notes and drawings without the hassle to carry the paper notes (I saved the environment). Therefore I bought N10+. It’s made mainly for professional people not for everyone
"You saved the environment" is a bit of a stretch
Vandelay Industries 😂😂but it’s true 😝😎
Agreed. I'm an artist and graphic designer. There's no better phone for creative outlet while on the go. I can sketch up ideas and take handwritten notes whenever a great idea pops into my head. It's then very easy to shoot those ideas out to clients for immediate feedback. For so many of these tech reviewers, they just don't get it because that's not their workflow.
I heard Samsung is giving every student in Hogwarts a Note 10+. 🤣
The phone is amazing. I just dont understand how Apple releases slight upgrades to all their stuff and every phone is the 2nd coming of Christ for the reviewers. This phone trumps apple hardcore. Apple has been slowly degrading since iphone 6.
I just moved from iPhone 11 pro to Note 10+, oh my god. I never regret my decision!
Randy Paputungan u down graded the camera
@@dylanpower1438 so what? he still got the a better phone. besides, some people prefer oversaturated photos.
i hate to admit it but its time we leave the headphone Jack 😑
Just buy pocophone f1 or redmi K20 pro, cheap phones are getting better.
Keimarr Jixbii 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jaxv3r no where near good enough
On flagships maybe, but not on budget phones. It's always nice to have, but richer people can afford for good wireless headphones
Looking forward to the Dex video! 😊
Also, wish we could see more of you, Dieter.
When you talk about Dex, also talk about the gaming capability. For those that get a phone for gaming, you can play your mobile specific game on a bigger screen (laptop or monitor). So it doesn't have to be all work and no play.
Dex is great. For non-work scenarios it appears to be a great quick media OS. I've setup my brother to use it as his movie watching machine.
It sounds like it's a lot better this time around with access to a full Linux? I am hyped for your next video.
Im watching on my Samsung Note 10+ now 😁😁. Love this device ❤😍😘😗😙😚⚘🍷🍺
“Is there something you want out of a smartphone”
“Dex”
I lost it, caught me off guard lol.
The color of the phone is mesmerising. 🤯
I mean the other gradient stuff of phones is cool n all but this, Man u can find a new color in every video someones posts of the Note 10.
I'm still with my S6 and It's still working. I'm waiting for S11 or S12.
How about your S6's battery life. Majority S6 users had a battery life issue after 2 years above using it.
S5 here, on the 2nd battery now which is going, so waiting for the s11 e
@@mohdfaiz88 ofcourse he'll have battery issues. Lithium ion batteries degrade in 2yrs and above
Me too
I have the S10 and S6 is one of my favorite galaxy phone.
Why do we need a jack anymore? I can understand confusion back when 🍎 did away with it. Today though the choice seems prudent not game changer.
Have Note 10, have Note 9. What can I say... pure excellence! The best you can buy right now. Form and function at its best.
Great job in nailing the product differentiator of the Note10. In the same spirit as this video, for Dex, can you please address how much does it do for your day-to-day productivity? What's the benefit of new Dex compared to regular drag and drop using the file explorer?
That production quality!!! I hope to produce similar stuff soon
You said "this is the best in android phones by far " and at the same time you said "there are so many phones that come very close". And I understand the point that the S pen is what differentiate it. Please dont say it so many times
I traded in my iPhone 11 to Note 10 plus and I am in love. I use the stylus alot!
Verge reviewers only see Note as + or - S-pen , But the fact is its more than that. Make comprision video with OnePlus 7 pro & iPhone Xs max & Pixel 3 , then you will understand the specs & glory of Note .
Also mentioned pixel 4 round the corner , how foolish it is to say that considering price of pixel 4 also would be 1099$ .
No more headphone jack is just really disappointing. How could they not fit it in, especially since there is a massive s-pen...
Because they want to push you into buying their wireless buds. It's the same as Apple is doing.
Samsung already explained. Same reasons like Apple. To increase a little bit battery capacity and improve haptic feedback.
@@mohdfaiz88 If you look at teardowns, it mostly doesn't add up. There is a large gap of empty space. Also for those few more mAh extra battery, you could make the phone thicker and keep the camera module flush with the case. :)
Honestly headphone jack is overrated... I use to use wired headphones and I would hate it.. So restricted..
Then I bought myself jaybirdx2 and I've never went back to wired... They are old headphones but dam they work amazing still!!
j suarez for me it would be the same but you just have the convenience of never having to think of charging the wireless headphones, making sure they are connected and also when travelling in planes here in Europe you can’t use Bluetooth
Guys please suggest me should I upgrade from note 9 to note 10 plus
(Please don’t mention headphone jack point, it’s fine for me that it’s not available on note 10)
SARVESH MHATRE don’t upgrade , note 9 is still a beast and has everything you want from a flagship device, almost everything . Note series is not for upgrading every year, it is about having it for 2 to 3 years then upgrading, at least for me
The Flipping coin okay i will take time till new iphone comes out and then i will make my decision
Thanks for your response
Samsung wants all your Valuable notes for themselves
This guy... Right here in the video! Yes the same guy...wud have gone gaga if it was some Apple coming out with a Phone similar to the note 10 at 1.5x the price!! Watch the comment section for more such cheap thrills 🤣🤣
Don't forget IP68 water resistance..
Not all phones these days have it.
I think it's a given that it comes with it, it's practically a staple.
For me it's not the pen. I dont care about price. I care about power. I care about size. I care about battery life. Screen quality. The Note 10+ does it all. I still love my work phone (V50) but this time Samsung is my daily driver. Also haptics are OFF THE CHAIN. Texting is a joy. I've never been able to text faster. Highly recommend it.
😒when i see a reviewer with a Apple Watch reviewing an android phone
I really think Dex is a compelling reason to buy the phone (or any Samsung with Dex on it) for those that don't have the budget for both a phone and desktop.
The normal Note is actually $50 cheaper than the S10+
And the Note 10 is worse lol
@@thethiccdonut5257 yup! Headphone jack gone is a turn off
Retail price sure. But you'd have to ignore every deal ever to not find the S10+ for less than 900 dollars

The note 10+ is around the same price as the s10+ with the 12gb version
Ordered mine today, I use the s pen on a daily basis on my current Note 8. Note 10 was obvious choice for me. BTW notes have been searchable at least since the Note 8, since I have used that function for the past 2 years to search for my quick notes on customer info.
Before watching: Is note 10+ something to be bought?
After watching: Is the note 10+ something that could be bought ????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

The smaller note doesn' make sense if it doesn't have the same specs, like sd card memory slot and other things.
Reviewers. Please don't omit talking about speaker quality from your reviews. Kthanxbai.

Kushal Das but why you need that storage lol
Best use case I've found for Dex so far is the grade school student with a phone. They use Chromebooks at school and can then come home and use Dex for schoolwork. As a parent, it's great so you have to buy/manage one device for your child. Then setup a monitor, keyboard and mouse in a common area of the home so anyone can use Dex when needed. Curious if this can be incorporated into the review.
The Note 10 Plus didn’t check all the boxes the Note 9 did last year.
🤷🤷🤷
So what ? Pay more for less is the feature.
Jose Rueda what boxes? Everyone has different preferences on what they like.
@@michaelhall9146 Boxes that are unticked.
@@JustAnAtheist what boxes are those I must ask?
Man these reviews are so bare bones... I really miss having techy people doing reviews and actually talking about specs.
Instead I get these apple like descriptions on features...
Deiter bohn is one of the best out there.
I am a simple man, i see dieter review i press like.
4:01 No, that's not it. Cameras are much better on the Note 10 plus.
Try DEX by connecting to a Thunderbolt 3 monitor with a single cable and check if you can use the ports on the monitor please.
By far, the best thing about the Note 10 is that it allowed me to buy a Note 9 at clearance pricing. I won't buy a phone without a 3.5mm jack.
How's your experience been?
I look forward to when no one complains about not having a headphone jack
the complaints are getting less and less
At first I was really annoyed. Now I'm fine with it because I will never go back to wired headphones.
Question about Dex:
after using it in my NOte 9, it's significantly useful with a laptop-like companion, simliar to the SuperBook, MiraBook, NexBook. Yet Samsung has yet to release these kind of accessory, even if it's a portable screen with bluetooth keyboard folio. yet, they release support for windows and mac, which is basically letting you run a mobile OS with Desktop UI, running on another OS.
Why are these devices so hard to do (Superbook is closing down, the rest is not so hot either) and why hasn't Samsung push this along with Dex?
Becca saying the alphabet was hilarious 😂 She was saying it so, expressively
Great video!! Thank you. For me personally the s pen is worth it
Worst review I've seen for such an amazing phone. Very upset Verge, get a better reviewer next time please
s10+ front camera hole triggers my ocd way too hard, that's why I like the Note :)
certainly leaving apple this time.
Watching this from my note10 plus haha. Lovely screen, wonderful pen!
Same here 😁
I am doubtful because of its size. Is it convenient to use and hold?
I am Concerned about size.
@@RD-ln2vx Well it's big. You can use it one handed but often enough you find yourself using the second hand as well. It's probably the best to test it by yourself in a store
Is it easy to carry while traveling? And put in pocket of jeans?
I tested it in a store, it was not that big and fitted in my hand but I am still doubtful how will be the experience while carrying in pocket and traveling.
@@RD-ln2vx it depends on what the alternatives are. For me, the stylus + 512 gb space is a powerful note taking and editing medium that is more compact than paper and pen or tablets. With keystand one handing is pretty doable for me, its like the s10 plus
This is a Plus review. Great Job Dieter.
Now, on the Note 10+, I feel this is extremely huge, beast of a phone. 😃
In terms of camera Note 10 is not the best in picture its goes to the pixel/note is not the best in videos recording and dynamic range /it goes to the iphone becaus of smart hdr , but it does all the things very good and a feature rich camera no doubt,
I wont lie. from videos i have seen the hdr is better on the plus variant (along side its stabilization also) Look at mr whostheboss review of the note 10+ vs p30 pro vs xs max camera test. it might just be the best at this time overall
@@blazin220 i watched that, note score better it has more lenses and features to play with, it has the best wide angle camera etc but he mentioned that for dynamic range in portrait, dynamic range in video recording iphone is still ahed because of smart hdr, p30 is the king in low light
This vid confirms to me that the verge loves to hate...and how could you critique certain features that you haven't tried/tested?
This was my least favorite Note 10 review. It does not just come down to the stylus.
The smaller Note 10 has a lesser PPI than the iPhone XS... that is tragic.
Agree
That is because the screen is smaller. The 6.8 Note screen will still look better.
Mickytdi The Note 10 is a tragic device, no idea what Samsung were doing, should’ve just released the Note 10+, that’s the true model. Thought they made the best screens yet 50% of their newest flagships have a worser display than the XS.
If I buy a 45w charger will it charge my note 9 faster than my current charger?
No.
Slightly faster charging speeds?? Lol. It’s way ahead from the S10+. My S10+ took 1,5 hours++ to fully charged but this one is about 65 minutes.
