Samsung Galaxy Note 10 preview

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 preview


Samsung has a truly overwhelming amount of new flagship phones right now, with the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10E, as well as the incoming Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy Fold. And here's one more on the horizon.
It hasn't been announced yet, of course, but we're fully expecting to see a Galaxy Note 10 later this year. Samsung has reliably launched its extra-large, stylus-packing handset each year, and it's likewise been a reliably great phone – albeit a very pricey and fairly niche one.


With the Galaxy S10 out, now the rumour mill has pivoted towards the Note 10. What should we expect? Here's what we've heard so far.

When will the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 be out?
Samsung unveiled and released the last August, a little earlier than its usual September release window. We suspect that this was done to set it apart from .
And we suspect that Samsung will do it again this year. It's good to have that window without another phone sucking up all of the buzz, and August is Samsung's to own for now.
Fact or fiction?
It's just an educated guess for now, but until we hear otherwise, we're expecting an August launch.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 cost?
Well, it won't be cheap. Samsung keeps pushing the price level higher for its flagship phones, with the Note 9 coming in at ₹67,900. Given that, don't be surprised to see the Galaxy Note 10 push up into the ₹80-90k range, depending on what kinds of new features are added.
Fact or fiction?
Again, strictly a guess at this point, but Samsung's certainly not going to drop the price compared to last year's Note.
What will the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 look like?
In recent years, the Galaxy Note line has aligned pretty closely with the Galaxy S aesthetic.

 In particular, the last 
two years' phones have looked very close to the Galaxy S+ model.
The main differences come with slightly boxier aesthetic, and a flatter screen that isn't quite as curvy on the sides. Oh, and a slot for the S Pen stylus, of course. Early speculative renders of the Galaxy Note 10 follow that kind of philosophy with the Galaxy S10 as a starting point, but we haven't seen anything yet that looks like a legitimate render leak. It's early still, though.

Fact or fiction?

If Samsung follows its typical trend here, we should see a boxier take on the Galaxy S10+, essentially. That sounds pretty good to us.
What about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10's screen?
Big and beautiful, we presume. Last year's phone had a 6.4in display and the year before had a 6.3in display. But since the Galaxy S10+ has matched the 6.4in size, we wonder if Samsung will go even larger for the Note 10.
Of course, the upcoming Galaxy S10 5G hits a vast 6.7in screen size, so the Note 10 might not end up being the largest of the bunch. A leak from Korean site The Bell in late 2018 suggested a 6.66in display, which could well be rounded up to be considered 6.7in.

We expect to see another stunning Quad HD Dynamic AMOLED panel, too, with the same kind of hole-punch cutout in the upper corner – a double like the Galaxy S10+, most likely.
Fact or fiction?
No doubt, the Galaxy Note 10's screen will be large and in charge… but we don't know exactly how large just yet.
How much power will the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 pack?
