At a Brooklyn press event yesterday, Samsung announced the Note 10, Note 10 Plus and Note 10 5G, three phones that have big screens, an embedded S Pen stylus and multiple rear cameras.
Since the first Galaxy Note launch in 2011, the Note phones have stood out as part of Samsung's ultraluxe line.
The devices are usually outfitted with a steep price and top-of-the-line hardware, and represent the best of Samsung's best.
But Samsung is not alone.
With phone sales slumping globally, the crowded phone industry is more competitive than ever.
Samsung's main rival, Apple, has the iPhone XS Max, a phone with a brilliant 6.5-inch screen, a superfast processor and excellent dual rear cameras.
By splitting the lineup into two sizes, Samsung was able to make one of its boldest choices since it introduced the original Note in 2011: it actually made the newest Note‘s screen a bit smaller.
My very first impression was “I want the smaller model.” The 6.3-inch panel may make it seem the phone isn’t much smaller than last year’s 6.4-inch Note 9, but in practice, the sliver-thin bezels mean the Note 10 is refreshingly small.
The only notable difference is that the camera module is shaped like a capsule rather than a squircle, which looks generically similar to the rear setup you’ll see on Huawei phones and iPhones.
But the Note is far from the only phone with beastly specs nowadays – in fact, they’re not necessarily better than something like the far cheaper OnePlus 7 Pro.
And in any case, smartphone specs offer diminishing returns by the year.
It’s a good thing then that Samsung has one thing no-one else has: The S Pen.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has been finally announced after along wait.
What sets the Note 9 apart from Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the hardware upgrades, major camera upgrade, and the new S Pen.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 huge 4,000 mAh battery with Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging technology and Qi wireless charging is something that will turn alot of heads.
