Equipment
He came to us an engineering sample Note 10+ without the box, but the Note 10 in the wording was exactly the one that hit the stores - in the box and fully equipped. It includes a smart phone, power adapter with the USB Type-C cable, headphones with three pairs of ear pads different sizes, instructions, as well as two spare the rod with a special stylus crab-extractor.
Appearance and ergonomics
Smartphones sold in the classic black color and the new, which is called "aura". In this case, each model has at its Optional: Note 10 in the red modification, in Note 10+ - white. we got Gadgets in red and "aura".
The new color looks great. From one angle it may seem green, with another - a bluish, and the third - a silver. The rear panel of the smartphone is an almost mirror-gloss surface with bright iridescent modulations.
Red gadget looks nice too. This rich color, going from Bordeaux to scarlet from different angles.
The rear panel is quite easy to collect stamps and stains from your fingers. Decorated minimalist: there is an inscription Samsung, faint markings and a classic vertical camera module. To his right is the flash and in Note 10+ more and more TOF-camera. And in holes Note 10+ something indented. This is evident from the first glance, but if you look closely - a real hell for perfectionist.
On top of both models is a sliding module for SIM cards, bottom - Input USB Type-C and separation with a stylus. The right side is empty, the power button and volume moved to the left side. It's a bit unusual, but it is quite convenient.
Galaxy Note has traditionally more smartphones. But even the regular version wants to be called compact; it lies in the hand more comfortable majority PHABLET. The width of the gadget is identical, for example, iPhone XS. With 10+ all expected more complicated: it is a great smartphone for lovers of big screens and almost the size of tablet. So it looks like in comparison with the card "Troika" the size of a classic credit card:
Screen
At the flagship Samsung is traditionally one of the best screens. Brightness, pixel density, detail, color - everything is very good. For those who loves numbers of enthusiastic emotion, a little bit of technical information:
Note 10 | note 10+ | |
Diagonal | 6.3 inches | 6.8 inches |
Resolution | 1080 × 2280 pixels | 1440 × 3040 pixels |
pixel density | 401 ppi | 498 ppi |
Luminance information Galaxy Note 10, the company does not publish. Peak indicator Note 10+, according toGalaxy Note 10+ OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out DisplayMate, is 1308 nits. That's a lot. Recall: Almost six months ago, we said "a lot" about 800 nits of brightness Galaxy S10 +.
In Note-series South Korea's repeated experience of the last models of the line S: displays are of the type Dynamic AMOLED and support playback HDR10 +. This, of course, great, but videos in that format in nature until rare.
Border of the display usually bent on the sides. Accidental clicks on this will no longer be: if the base of the thumb still nalezaet on the screen, the smartphone does not react. The display seems limitless. Brovki even lower, are almost absent, and a front camera allocated hole at the top center. Me personally it does not interfere under any scenario.
Sound
Both are equipped with stereo speakers smartphone issuing loud and balanced (at least for the dimensions of the device) sound. Also included is AKG headset with remote control to control playback and call answering. sounding headphones an amateur: good and with little emphasis on the bass.
Camera
Smartphones series Galaxy Note provided with the same set of basic chambers. On the back side 12 is the basic-megapixel camera with a mechanical iris f1,5 / f2,4, 12MP zoom lens aperture with f / 2,1 and 16 megapixel camera with ultrashirokougolnaya aperture f / 2,2.
Also Note 10+ there is a TOF-sensor that Samsung has already shown in Galaxy A80. Thanks to him, in theory, you can do better to shoot from the bokeh (for example, in Note 10 branch background in the video comes on the facial recognition and software). In the future, 3D-cameras can be useful, but now TOF-sensor on the user experience is not affected.
Below - frames received by means of filming in automatic mode. The result is excellent. It seems that this is one of the best camera phones, gets to the office. Photo taken at different camera.
Night photos may be better if you apply mode "Night". Judging by the fact that in such an embodiment, the smartphone can not be moved, the camera takes a picture at slow shutter speeds. But the highlights are overexposed image can not be obtained, then immediately running some algorithm that aligns exposure settings and removes unnecessary light cables, and they would inevitably have appeared if you used long shutter speed yourself.
Shooting photos in "Night" takes a few seconds. Use it constantly uncomfortable, but if you really want to make a beautiful picture, it is possible.
Portrait mode sometimes knocks and confused in determining the object edges, but generally gives a nice result at the level of the flagships. Avatars can do.
The front camera has a resolution of 10 M and the aperture ratio f / 2,2. when shooting selfie Smartphone offers a choice of two types of zoom. There is also a bar with trees, thanks to which we usually switch between ultrashirokougolnym, main and zoom lens. But the front lens alone. Most likely, one of the modes of the full camera image is simply cropped. But the images in anyway quality. And selfie camera can also make good portraits.
Recently came into smartphones Samsung feature, which received an ugly name "Video alive. foresail. "allows you to make videos with bokeh. Here is an example, taken on Galaxy Note 10 (mean, TOF-lens is not needed):
Here is a video at the same time, but shot to the front camera:
Software Samsung chips remained in place, and there were new. In normal mode the application has to eat the shooting, panorama, two kinds of slow video and giperlaps video. There is also a professional mode with manual exposure settings. Available shooting video with stabilization. Maximum resolution - 2 160p, frame rates - 960 FPS for slo-mo-video.
Stylus
The main difference between Galaxy Note line from any other series of smart phones - electronic stylus S Pen, and the main difference between the "tens" of previous models - the presence of the stylus accelerometer and gyroscope. Frankly, outlandish in this still more than useful. But first things first.
That is why, according to the company plan, you need an electronic pen:
- Quick Notes. Sketches can throw even on the lock screen.
- Drawing. Create images with the stylus is more convenient than a finger.
- Work with text. For example, it is possible write by handAnd smartphone automatically decrypts all.
- Management presentation slides. The stylus can replace the clicker.
- Shooting with remote control. Bluetooth-module, accelerometer and gyroscope to help control the camera settings.
But the reality is more complicated. Long with an electronic pen can not prorisuesh: it is thin and light. It's like with the rod from the handle: yes, it can get, and even something they draw, but it is inconvenient.
Write the text by hand much longer than in the habit of poking his thumbs on the sensor. Advanced scenarios working with the camera application is quite difficult to master.
On the other hand, the owners of Galaxy Note is a modern flagship with an electronic pen. At a time when almost all smartphones are the same, such unnecessary and frivolous things can rejoice. On the cool stylus button press, it produces a believable sound when using a pencil in "drawing tool", but still with him, you can quickly and accurately depict the heart in instagram Stories. Do you need something else?
If you think S Pen comfortable and used to it, the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ should you like. Stylus become only better.
Performance
Officially, Russia does not sell models with Snapdragon 855, instead - seminanometrovy eight core Exynos 9825 with a frequency of 2.73 GHz cores up. Also, the European version has not won Adreno 640 graphics chip, it replaces the Mali-G76 MP12. Between 10 and an Note Note differ 10+ volume random access memory8 and 12 GB, respectively.

All these are just numbers. In fact, it is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, which is enough for the eye to any problem.
Software
Device running Android 9.0 superstructure One UI. In a series of Note there are some nuances associated with the use of an electronic pen. The rest is the same system that, for example, S10 +.
The smartphone is "out of the box" is a set of Google apps, Samsung and Microsoft.
Quick Access Toolbar located at the top and to the right. Top - quick setup, right - application icons.
One UI - a proprietary shell SamsungFamiliar to all owners of smartphones. It is easy to understand, it is convenient to use, although there is a function to which you do not you reach.
unlocking
Galaxy Note supports unlocking the face and fingers. Both options are convenient and fast work. fingerprint sensor directly on the screen. It is located conveniently: finger there arises automatically.
The only gripe - possibly unsafe release in the face. If you have something to hide, it is better to use your finger.
autonomy
Battery capacity and 10 Note Note 10+ - 3500 and 4300 mAh, respectively. In both cases, the volume of the battery should last for a day of active work.
