El Galaxy Note 10+ was launched worldwide on August 23 And today we pass you on video in a thorough comparison with the Samsung Galaxy S10 +. We are facing the two flagships of the Korean company for this year 2019.
A year in which we have seen the Galaxy S10 + the applause of both the critics and the Android community, and a Note 10+ that for the first time arrives without an audiojack to make way for a single input with its USB type-C; even now when you plug in your Samsung headphones you get an update. Go for it.
Samsung Galaxy S10 + vs Galaxy Note 10+
Before going through some of the most important sections we go straight to the table of characteristics in order to make a quick comparison. We are going to do it with the base devices of each of these models. Some of them can be purchased with 12GB of RAM as with the Galaxy S10 + and then there are the variants in the internal memory.

Display each one with its different hole in the design
To know in depth each of the details of the two terminals We recommend that you go through the video. We are going to review here the most important points to differentiate the two Samsung phones.
One of the most important points of these two phones is that maintain barely noticeable bezelsat first sight. The Note 10+ takes the lead as it is almost all screen and has a 6,8 ″ screen, while the S10 + stays at 6.4 ″.
Both have the same resolution and differ between the pixels on the screen and those holes in the Samsung Display-O. The S10 + has two lenses on the front, while the Galaxy Note 10+ is left with a single one located in the center.
In the design you can see quite a few differences if we put them next to each other to have one more point of elegance the Note10 +, while the S10 + is left with a more casual tone.
In the guts
In the interiors there is a more than palpable difference, the architecture of the Exynos 9825 located in the Note10 +, we're going to 7 nanometers. Which means better energy efficiency and performance at general levels. We will have to see how Samsung updates to optimize the clocks and frequencies of the 9825.
With this we are not saying that the S10 + is far behind in performance, but a new architecture means a lot, and more when we can only see it on mobile phones as it is not present on desktop computers.
In RAM the two base models they differ with the 8GB of the s10 + and the 12GB of the Note 10+. The base memory of the S10 +, with its 128GB, doubles up to 256GB. While the S10 + has a model with 1TB of internal memory, while the Note stays in another with its 512GB. The microSD of the latter can be taken to TB, while that of the S10 + up to 512GB.
The GPU of the two terminals is the same with an ARM Mali-G76; always in the European version, since the American one mounts the Snapdragon. Here we are based on the Galaxy with Exynos.
The cameras of the Note10 + and S10 +
They are practically identical except for some differences. The Note10 + has 4 cameras to be the fourth a TOF that measures the distance of objects and that improves portrait photos and those selfies that the front also has.
The big difference between the two falls on the front to have a dual camera the Galaxy S10 +. The Note 10+ has dynamic video thanks to the fourth camera that improves the differences between the subject in the front and the background scene.
If you are going to record video, with the same resolutions, get ready for the Note10 + 'zoom in mic', since it allows us to zoom in on the camera so that the microphone raises the volume of that area and then it shows well in the recorded video. It is one of those more than striking options if we want to highlight some of the protagonists of our videos.
The Note10 + too features the AR Doodle so that we can draw on the faces of friends and family, and that when we record, we will be able to see them as they move and stay fixed well those digital makeup.
The battery of the two kings
The new 7nm architecture of the new Note10 + chip is supposed to improve energy efficiency, but at the moment it has not been possible to verify, so it will be a matter of a few weeks or months before a Samsung update is launched so that the differences are noticed, that there are.
The S10 + battery is 4.100mAh with fast and wireless charging with a 15W charger that puts the terminal at 100% in 1 hour and 39 minutes. While the Note 10+ takes us up to 4.300 mAh with superfast and wireless charging with a 25W standard charger. We load with this charger the terminal in 64 minutes. And we have the option to improve that data if we buy the 40W that Samsung sells separately.
Samsung's first high-end without 3,5mm audio jack
The biggest difference between these two great terminals is that while the Galaxy S10 + has 3,5mm audio jack, the Note10 + lacks it to be the first high-end of the Korean company to do without this element. And from what we can guess, it will be like that, since to our surprise, there are notable improvements in the experience. In fact, the first time we plugged in the headphones that came in the box, they already had an update.
The S Pen of the Note 10+
The S Pen of the Note 10, logically, is a defining trait of this model. This time Samsung has improved it with Air gestures and an improvement in its battery so that we do not have to charge it so much. It is the watchword of this terminal that is still alive and well to give an improved experience for that user who has gone through several Notes.
Samsung DeX on your PC with the desktop app
The Note 10+ also has another great tool coming soon to the S10 +: Samsung DeX with its desktop app. We have already spoken these days behind her and it is another of the essential tools if you move with your laptop or with your PC.
The rest of the elements
It is also interesting Samsung's decision to change the power button on the side right to left of the Note10 +. That is, we no longer have the button for Bixby that the S10 + does have with its power button on the right and Bixby on the left.
Both have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the screen, metal and glass in the manufacture, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers that sound great, 2 nano SIM or 1 nanoSIM with microSD, One UI 1.1 for the S10 + and 1.5 for the Note 10+ and some differences in weight for 175 grams for the S10 + and 198 grams for the Note 10+.
Is incredible that Samsung has been able to put so much in dimensions and a weight like the Note 10+. We are talking about the fact that it also carries its S Pen, so here the Korean company has done magic with a terminal that exceeds 1.100 euros in its 256GB version and that can become the best phone of the year. If the S10 + is already garnering the applause of many, a matter of months before the verdict is given pending Apple, Google and Huawei.
