The best big phone gets better

Massive; stunning display; Still the best stylus-equipped phone; Powerful and pretty

Expensive; Curved display can result in accidental presses; Not a huge upgrade over the Note 9

The Galaxy Note 10+ is the best big phone of the year (again), but Samsung plays it safe by not challenging the status quo.

That's the essential question for the Note 10 Plus. It wasn't always this way: the Note line has meant a few different things over its eight-year history. It was the first phone that convinced us that big screens were great, the phone that proved there was a market for a super powerful Android...

Handwriting recognition OCR; Huge; beautiful screen; Well-made; with powerful specs

Samsung software backslides into confusion; Expensive; No headphone jack

The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is a phone for everyone. Samsung is moving away from giving everything to the power users, and towards giving everyone the power.

Huge; vibrant display Lightning-fast performance Very loud speakers Luxurious design Versatile camera setup

More glass gives a higher chance of breaking No headphone jack is a shame for a Note

The Note 10 Plus is expensive, but you get a gorgeous screen, endless battery life and complete stylus control.

Nevertheless, the Note 10+ is a well-equipped smartphone that includes everything but the headphone jack, another strange exclusion. Samsung's intransigence about supporting certain Bluetooth codecs still irritates us too.

high screen-to-body ratio; impressively bright OLED panel; HDR10; useful S-Pen; strong cameras; good fingerprint sensor; expandable storage; fast SoC; UFS 3.0 flash storage; optional 5G model; great gaming performance

underwhelming Wi-Fi performance; middling battery life; no headphone jack; no heart rate sensor; no aptX HD

It would be good if samsung have introduced 5G directly in 10 plus instead of two 10 plus models (i.e. LTE and 5G). Snapdragon 855+ is the latest it would be great if they have given 855+. Screen refresh rate is only 60hz remaining competitors are giving 90hz, samsung needs to look into this.

We're getting the smaller Note 10 in for review soon, and will decide which of Samsung's Notes is our Editors' Choice. But if you're looking to buy something right now, we recommend saving some money on any of the aforementioned smaller models.

Useful S Pen stylus; Top-notch performance; Long battery life

Expensive; Huge; No headphone jack; Confusing 5G situation

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ should be a tougher sell than it actually is. A $1,100 Android phone, scaled so vast that many will struggle to comfortably hold it, the defining feature of which is a pop-out stylus… and yet here we are, in 2019, with a flagship that boasts such user goodwill that even a...

Huge screen is a thing of beauty; S Pen is as useful and accurate as ever; Quad camera array can take some great photos; Runs fast and smooth

Expensive; Some of 2019's headline features feel like gimmicks; Low-light camera performance lags rivals; DeX is awkward to use

Welcome to T3's Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ review. Over the past few weeks I have been testing out the South Korean maker's new technical leader and what follows is my take on the fantastically sized new flagship.

The 6.8-inch AMOLED screen is gorgeous; Internal hardware package is hyper premium; 5G variant of the phone is available; Run time is good thanks to 4,300mAh battery; Camera system is comprehensive and feature packed; Digital S Pen stylus remains useful and unique; Incredible storage space; with up...

Eye-wateringly expensive; especially for 5G variant; Incredibly big form factor is not pocket friendly; Camera system is technically beaten by rivals; The regular Note 10 is the more approachable device
