It is here, folks. The much anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note10 has finally gone official and as rumored, the 3.5 mm headphone is gone and so, if you are planning to use other wired headphones other than the supplied Type-C plug unit, you will need a dongle. No more laughing at Apple or other handset makers who have long ditched the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Alas, the evil has triumph.
But in return, it promised to have the “most powerful Galaxy Note suite of productivity and creativity tools” along “with enhanced S Pen and pro-grade camera.” We shan’t dig into the design. Samsung is becoming like Apple; the aesthetic is stagnant. In other words, one look and you know it is a Note. And oh, it now comes in two sizes (namely Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+), plus there’s a 5G model (Galaxy Note10+ 5G) too because 2019.
Here is a rundown of the specifications in easy-to-read table format. If you prefer, keep going for the infographics for the specs overview.
