Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features
The Note 10 series is Samsung’s top flagship now. Both of them are powered by the new 7nm Exynos 9825 chipset with a minimum of 8GB of RAM that goes all the way up to 12GB. There’s a new Cinematic Infinity-O display with very slim bezels, which means the front camera is baked in a punch-hole which now has a slimmer borders. As for cameras, there are three on the back with a primary 12MP camera, a 16MP ultra-wide lens and a third 2x telephoto shooter. The selfie camera uses a 10MP sensor.
There are a few other differences between the two size variants except the display size. The batteries are rated at 3,400mAh and 4,300mAh with the latter also supporting 45W fast charging. The Note 10 Plus also gets a DepthVision camera array for features such as portrait mode for videos. The smaller sibling loses the microSD card expansion slot and drops down to FHD+ resolution from QHD+.
The camera has got a bunch of new video features like bokeh mode for videos, AR Doodle, audio zoom and more. Samsung has focused highly on boosting creativity using the camera instead of upgrading the hardware.
There’s also the entire new suite of S-Pen functionality as well as a new DeX mode, augmenting the productivity functionality further. The S-Pen can now be used to control the camera using simple gestures like moving left and right to switch modes, or swirling it right and left to zoom in and zoom out of the frame.
