If I am being honest after reading MANY of the comments on this forum, I can see why some if not many Android users all but loathe iPhone users over their logic(or lack there of).Sending SMS messages via your smartphone can be a frustrating experience, especially if you struggle with typos have a habit of writing essay-length messages, or you get frustrated with the smaller, virtual keyboards available on your typical smartphone. Smarten up! The fingerprint sensor is quite responsive if you watch the videos of it being used. How is 5G gimmicky when it is a freaking network that will be rolled out? It's not a specific feature that the phone or Samsung has. The guy arguing for iPhone was taking a proverbial crap on Android for the very thing iPhone had and has. I witness an iPhone vs Android debate in Barnes and Noble over two years ago. Forget the iPhone, why wouldn't I just get a OnePlus over this thing for half the cost if I wanted a big android phone?When I see fellow iPhone users bash Android/Samsung over things that iPhone has and then belittle it makes me cringe. * 5G - gimicky, it's not widely available, makes the phone hot, and drains the batteryĪnd it runs Android. * Fingerprint sensor under screen - mediocre since its slow, unreliable, and data is stored in the file system * Face unlock - mediocre, since it's only optical What do you think of Samsung's new Galaxy Note 10 smartphones? Let us know in the comments.Įvery feature on this phone other than the display is either half baked, gimicky, or mediocre: Samsung's not including a 45W charger in the box, but since it charges over USB-C, you might already have one laying around. It can also take advantage of a 45W charger that can fast charge it from zero to full in just about an hour. iPhone users who always feel like their devices die quickly might be jealous of the battery in the Note 10+ - it's 4,300mAh, which is massive. It works decently, but its positioning on the screen might take some adjustment. Samsung's new smartphones use an under-display fingerprint sensor which is about as accurate as the fingerprint sensor in the S10+. It stands out and really catches the eye, especially when compared to the standard Silver, Space Gray, and Gold that most iPhones come in. Samsung is offering the Note 10 and Note 10+ in this rainbow-like shade called Aura Glow. One of the coolest Galaxy Note 10 features is the color. On some Macs, though, the resolution is poor, which can make it a bit hard to see what you're doing. Mac users can download the DeX app for the Mac, plug the Note 10 in, and then control smartphone functions on the big screen. You used to need an external monitor, but with the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, DeX works with both Mac and Windows machines. ![]() Samsung devices have a feature called DeX, which is basically designed to let you dock your Samsung smartphone to a PC to turn it into a mobile workstation. ![]() When you zoom back out, the audio returns to normal. When you zoom in on a subject that you're filming, the microphone is able to isolate that subject and amplify the sound, which is neat. Maybe it'll get better in the future, but as is, this feature isn't useful.Ī camera feature that is useful is the new Live Focus Video option that brings the Live Focus available in Samsung photos to the video camera, so you can adjust the depth of field while you're filming.Īnother camera feature we liked as the zoom-in audio option. We couldn't get anything to scan accurately, with limbs getting cut off, designs being warped, and other problems, even when testing all kinds of lighting conditions. Unfortunately, in our testing, the 3D scanner is mediocre. Samsung on stage used this feature to scan a plush toy to make a correct, 3D digital version of it, which is what it's supposed to do. The larger version of the Galaxy Note 10 (the Note 10+) is equipped with an extra DepthVision camera that enables some interesting 3D scanning functionality. It's essentially drawing in augmented reality, which is neat, but probably not something most people are going to use on a regular basis. One major new S Pen feature that's a little bit fun and a little bit gimmicky is AR Doodle, designed to let users write text or create drawings on top of what's being viewed through the camera. It's a feature that worked well in our testing. With the Galaxy Note 10 and the S Pen, handwritten notes can be turned into text, and you're also able to search through your handwritten notes. It's basically like the Apple Pencil for the iPad. ![]() You can use it for taking notes, writing on the screen, sending live messages, and more. The S Pen has a new look in 2019, but it's mostly the same. IPhones don't support a stylus, and we're not expecting the Apple Pencil to work with the 2019 lineup, but Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 devices do work with a stylus called the S Pen, which has long been one of the main Note features.
