Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Hands On

Alright it's Galaxy Note day we have the latest devices these things were just announced so as you can see no retail boxes yet these are sample devices in a couple different colors Of course, the exciting color is here on the right side. This is an aura glow and I don't know if you can lift this connector, but I mean that thing is totally glow, of course, this one with the glass back, wireless charging, power sharing, etc., so it's a different part here compared to others. Note is launched as the Note 9, for example, with the Note 10, we will have two different versions to choose from.

You have the standard Note 10, which is the smallest form factor, and then you have a Note 10 plus that expands. The Note series goes even further and also adds a couple of hardware upgrades. The black version is also called aura or black, as you can guess it is a more standard taste. I think there will also be a white one that we will use alone. kind of special retail situations or certain markets or targets, okay so we don't have that one represented, but there will also be another one, if you look closely you can see that there is a slight difference between the standard bill and the larger bill which is this.

A little extra camera lens here in the center. I think it's a time-of-flight sensor, which adds to the triple camera array you see on the left side. This will give you a standard ultra wide angle and assume it is for the actual camera. specification 16 megapixel f-22 ultra wide angle, you have 12 megapixel f15 and 2 with optical image stabilization and you have a 12 megapixel F 2.1 for the telephoto lens. I'm also noticing that the camera hump doesn't stick out too much, it's sort of in line with what you'd expect with this level of cameras installed now, of course it's a series of

note

s, so you have the stylus included in all these devices, apparently it is a new design.

It was telling me that it's a unibody construction, so I guess. it's a little bit more sturdy, this one has its cool kind of chrome --it's-- blueish purplish in color, it's got the button on the top, as you can see, okay, I mean, it feels sturdy, this is what I was curious. About when rumors started circulating that there would be two different form factors, I thought it was a little strange because the Note series became famous as the largest device, I mean, on the day when the first Note series launched to the people. They were like I was crazy, who would ever wear that?

They had to come up with crazy words like phablet, obviously you don't hear that anymore, but now we have to do it, so it's a little confusing from that point of view, unlike what the

note

means. really represent, but of course they did the same thing almost every other line is doing by adding this plus model to provide more variation, so I think power users will go for the plus model and then maybe the cheaper one . Conscious or people who really value one-handed portability functionality, could also opt for the standard version, but we should talk about some of those hardware differences between the two: the battery on the small one is 3500 milliamp hours while the large is 4.3 billion amp hours so these are the numbers that you would expect from a flagship device in this sense on this big guy it will be thirty eight forty so wqhd plus on the small one is fht plus as you already know with this type of devices. much of the battery life is consumed by the screen and the pixels being pressed, which indicates that you can go into the operating system on these Galaxy devices, previous Galaxy devices and choose your resolution for the various attributes that you want to select for yourself .

If you want better battery life, you can toggle the effective resolution again and so on. This is where you'll notice the other kind of distinctive feature of this device, which is what they call the Infinity Oh display, which is this whole bump on the top. The whole bump thing started with the previous S series devices, but they put it to the side, it was in the top right corner, which I didn't mind. I thought okay, this is an area where you have some screen real estate. For starters, working with this kind of underused the top right corner, so I thought it made sense to put it there.

At that time I made the argument that from a design perspective it was not symmetrical in this case. the whole bump has become smaller of course it's a single camera cut out unlike the S series Plus model which was a dual camera cut out from the front it's quite an aggressive relationship to the body there is a small chin here, a tiny forehead. and the bezel around the edges, it has the typical glass screen curvature on the sides, but one thing I like right away is the fact that the bezel is almost identical on the sides and top and only a little thicker at the bottom. so you don't have this effect where you realize the fact that there's a chin on the device, so now both devices are set up and this is the first look at the screen.

I mean, it's pretty much what you'd expect. The brightness is at maximum right now and it's actually quite comparable, this one on the left is 6.8 inches and this one is 6.3. Now that I've fiddled with them to set them up, I have to say that the little one is super comfortable, so it's a little unfortunate that you have to do that. takes a step down from a spec perspective that said you go to the big guy and there's also some advantages here if you're a power user and so on, you know you open your YouTube, I don't know which more people. obviously there's also the cost component, both are going to be expensive, not that we expected anything different so 950 to start with the small and 1,100 to start with the large now to be honest when I started talking about these. devices, rumors and leaks began to emerge.

I thought this one made me break some price barriers, so somehow, even with a starting price of $1,100 on a large, I actually think I expected it to be a little more, which is strange. Because we're living in this $1,000+ smartphone universe right now, you can spec this one, presumably the 5g version will be even more than that, but anyway $1,100 $900 you wouldn't expect otherwise, obviously, and so should I. mention considering we're here in Canada, that's where the studio is based. I also have Canadian prices for these devices, it is 1459 for the large and 1259 for the small. Both now support 25W fast charging, but with the larger one.

You can actually charge one up to 45 watts, so it's rated at 45 watts, but you'll need to purchase a separate charger to take advantage of the fact that they also have wireless charging and wireless power sharing so you can plug them in and charge them. with each other, oh I almost forgot about the other difference, this one is important if you are that power user I referenced earlier, 12 gigs of RAM versus 8 gigs of RAM, okay, let's do what we usually do, let's get a reference quick here on the speaker. quality I always test speakers, it's important to me, oh wow it's okay so I'm happy because it has a low driver which is usually what I'm looking for, it fires from multiple locations, around the ear cup and also from the bottom unit is most of the sound, especially the bass component coming out of the bottom, this is really what the black bars look like, but if I go ahead and zoom in, this should give you an idea of ​​how you like the way it looks. like when you fill the frame, I mean, it's a little hole punch, in my opinion it's definitely an improvement over a knot, but you can get an idea right there, well, you have a little hole punch here, but like when I was up in the The corner was a little bit further away and that's true, it's kind of a trade-off there, especially when you watch a fully zoomed-in video, you mean you can see on a white background, you have this little black dot right here.

Where this really has its benefits is when you're on the phone as a phone and not necessarily within a video where the symmetry just makes sense to your brain and your head, like you can see the battery life of your Wi-Fi, etc. . Go ahead, they're almost exactly the same height as this particular hole punch and while I don't know there's something nice about the design, at least the idea of ​​this one being in a more typical location in the center gives you the perfect feeling. Frame for a selfie. I'll keep going. In fact, now would be a good time to show it.

Okay, it has a wide setup, but it's the same camera. From the looks of it, it's just a cutout. HDR is on but otherwise I think it's in its original state let's do what we do there's a little glare in the eyes none of the reflections aren't off it goes beyond the beard hairs in that test I mean you could capture the poor man's look in detail Now I'll go ahead and turn off HDR, even though it's on by default. Use it, it will save you from that explosion of lights that happens frequently. You know you're in sunlight and all that, so HDR is now disabled and it didn't have any issues either. maybe on the tip of my nose, that is unless it's a little more prominent, but I mean, that's it, it's good, it's just a nice front count.

I mean, I didn't expect it to fail in this department, but it's a satisfying performance, right, I'm happy with that, okay? What about the rear camera? We should also have an idea right now of the different focal ranges that are available, so the first one, of course, is the standard mode. it's your 0.5 wide angle and this is your telephoto, frame it right, so the telephoto gives you this wide field of view, which gives you a tremendous field of view as expected and then the standard, the standard looks great, the wide it's very sharp, so to put this in comparison, I think on the last smartphone I photographed I noticed that the width was substantially less sharp, particularly in the center of the frame, compared to the standard focal range or the device's default camera , that's an area where I noticed some discrepancy. with these multi-camera smartphones, contrast, saturation, white balance on the different cameras when you switch between them, but as you can see here, they're all pretty interchangeable, they work similarly in those different departments, of course you've got the Pearl . mode if you want to go crazy, change ISO, change white balance, autofocus and all that, if you want to do it independently you can dive in there, there is also a night mode ready, the lights go out very quickly, we are effectively in full darkness, but the phone definitely not, I'm telling you, it's completely black here, I mean, no, for you you can see that the shadows somehow look at the details, it's amazing in the video stabilization here it's called super stable, let's do it , But I do not know. just make a quick clip I'm going to move it try to turn it up a little bit we lost those little fingers put this lens ring on Wow, it's like a Steadicam I mean, pretty stable for me, super stable, you're right, it's incredibly super stable.

I mean you probably want to try this running in public, but here in the studio it looks pretty promising, of course, it also has the ultrasonic fingerprint taken from the S series, the S line and I mean, it works the same way, three two . it's fast, I like the fact that they didn't go overboard with the animation and that's another area I have to say, like Samsung has come a long way in the looks department from the days of TouchWiz to the single UI, so For example, see how you do it. the double drag there and suddenly you get this advanced type of one-handed functionality, hence the unique user interface, there you go.

I mean, I think it's an exciting new phone. I think it's for a particular client, obviously, we know what these represent. some of the most premium devices on the market, most importantly from a price perspective, and that's really all the talk in a smartphone game these days. I mean, we find ourselves talking about price so much because you can go out and select, I mean. Even from Samsung you could pick up a series now and say look that's enough, that's good enough for me and these at the top end are becoming more and more luxury devices so you have to decide if with that money extra I'm getting the value. does some of those extra features maybe a little bit bigger battery maybe 12 gigs of ram I need 12 gigs and what am I doing with my games on the device and so on the stylus I mean what can we say about the stylus?

I was never a big pen guy, but that being said, whenever I was daily conducting the series of notes, I would pull it out from time to time, you know, especially for those long phone sessions that worry about accuracy.from the pen, which can be addictive and maybe could work in your flow somehow the speaker sounded good very fast charging is what you think it is it is a premium priced device from Samsung I think many of you will be impressed I would like to insert my SIM card, unfortunately I can't yet because these are pre-release models.

I'll probably have a commercial version very soon. There you have it, it's the Note 10 and the Note 10. Plus, for the first time there are two options in the Note series.
