Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+: Every difference that you wanted to know 

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ phones are official. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ phones are the most powerful and feature-rich flagship phones in Samsung’s 2019 portfolio. Not only are there more variants to choose from (Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10 5G, Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy Note 10+ 5G), there’s also an all-new design scheme, new hardware, more cameras and plenty of AI smarts under the hood – making this year’s Note a big upgrade over last year’s Note 9. 

Samsung’s signature S-Pen is also getting a big update this year. Samsung has packed an accelerometer and gyroscope inside it, so it can now support ‘air’ gestures to control the Galaxy Note 10 phones, literally like a magic wand. 

As is the norm with all Samsung flagship phones, the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ share many design and hardware elements. But there are also many differences.

• The Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ build upon the design scheme that Samsung first introduced in the Galaxy S10 lineup earlier this year. Which means both the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ boast of a glass and metal sandwich design – but because they are productivity-focused Notes, its signature curves have been reduced ever so slightly so using the S-Pen stylus on them for scribbling notes would be easier. Samsung has also trimmed down the bezels on all sides and moved its Infinity-O punch hole dead center. Both the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ have Corning Gorilla Glass 6 on the front as well as on the back. The button layout has been changed too – the power button is now on the left and doubles as the dedicated Bixby button (to wake Bixby through long-press). You can remap this action to power off/restart as well.
• The Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ will be available in India in as many as three colours. While the Galaxy Note 10 will come in Aura Glow, Aura Red and Aura Black, the Galaxy Note 10+ will have Aura Glow, Aura White and Aura Black colour options. 
• The Galaxy Note 10 has a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 1080p+ resolution. The Galaxy Note 10+ has a bigger 6.8-inch Super AMOLED screen with QHD+ resolution. Samsung calls its new displays dynamic AMOLED, and these are also HDR10+ certified. A punch-hole notch (Infinity-O) is standard across the board. So is the in-display fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.
• The Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ share the same core innards which is a combination of Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 (in the US) and Exynos 9825 (in India). The Galaxy Note 10+ will be available in two configurations in India – 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB. Expandable storage is supported. The Galaxy Note 10 will be available in India in only one configuration - 8GB/256GB. The Galaxy Note 10 does not support expandable storage. 
• The Galaxy Note 10+ has four cameras in all - quad rear cameras consisting of one 12MP wide (77-degree field of view) sensor with variable f/1.5-f/2.4 aperture and dual pixel OIS, a 16MP ultra-wide (123-degree field of view) sensor with f/2.2 aperture and fixed focus, a 12MP telephoto sensor with OIS and f/2.1 aperture, and a Time-of-Flight camera for 3D depth mapping purposes. The Galaxy Note 10 comes with triple rear cameras (same as Galaxy Note 10+ minus ToF). Both the phones come with a 10MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 80-degree field-of-view.
• The Galaxy Note 10 has a 3,500mAh battery. The Galaxy Note 10+ has a 4,300mAh battery. Fast charging (45W in Galaxy Note 10+, 25W in Galaxy Note 10), wireless charging (15W) and reverse charging (PowerShare) are standard across the board.
• Both the phones pack stereo speakers – there isn’t any headphone jack though. Both the phones have a new vapor chamber cooling system that’s claimed to be “the slimmest in the world.” 
• While the Galaxy Note 10 price in India starts at Rs 69,999 (8GB/256GB), the Galaxy Note 10+ will start at Rs 79,999 (12GB/256GB).
