Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 512 GB Storage Aura Black (12 GB RAM)

Hello Dost

I purchased this phone recently and here goes my honest review.

Pros:
1. I love the way it looks and feels in hand. Its design is just beautiful. Over all it is a BIG phone but you wont feel it while using, its very convenient to use.
2. Display is the good I've known so far! The display will SPOIL you, just cant get enough of it.
3. Battery stands brilliant, over a day.
4. I wasn't expecting the phone to have such fast charging capability. 30-40 mins of charge per day, you are good to go. Take s about an hour to full charge, that's it!!!
5. S Pen: Handwriting to text. I love the way it can convert my handwriting to text! Something I did not think would be so useful, but you can end up exporting the Samsung notes to Word documents. Brilliant!
6. Air Actions are something I would use only for selfies. Its very convenient. Haven't tried more air actions as I never needed them.
7. Samsung's ONE UI is a LOT better than the one we used to see on Samsung devices. No more SAMSUNG LAG! The phone is very snappy. P.S: I come from OnePlus which was Snappy but not as fast as this one.
8. Gaming, heavy usage anything, this phone handles it very well.
9. You get a phone case, headphones in the box unlike any other manufacturer these days.
10. Insanely stable videos, and the editing mode. Just a boon I say!

Cons:
1. Finger print scanner could have been better.
2. Facial recolonization is a joke. Phone will unlock with my eyes closed. Like seriously Samsung? Anyone can unlock my phone while I am asleep.
3. Lack of headphone jack is a pain but the fact they provide decent pair of headphones in the box covers it up.
4. Camera is not what you expect from a Flagship company like Samsung on a Flagship device. The shutter speed is low and that means you cant have snappy pictures. Having said that, the phone takes decent pictures. I just hope they increase the shutter speed in future updates.

Overall experience:
This is the good NOTE Samsung have made so far, its a complete package. If you have a budget of 80k (74k if you can avail cashback from ICICI and HDFC) for a phone, this is the good phone you can get. Not to forget its cheaper than the Iphone. I love the fact that Samsung launches the products on same price as in US when compared to Apple which sells at a premium of 20-30k min. Samsung gives you the good for the buck.
I would rate it 5 stars.
Hope my review helps! :)

I got this smartphone after using iPhone Xr. The old phone was good but I missed android flexibility. I have never used a Samsung smartphone before. But now, I have become a big fan. Thumbs up to Samsung!
Pros:
1. Mesmerizing design, something Chinese flagships can't match!
2. 12 GB ram is very very useful...I haven't yet found an app that had to be restarted. A boon for multitaskers.
3. Starting at 256gb of memory makes you worry less about running out of space and pay less for Estore services!
4. Gaming performance is just brilliant! I have played heavy games like PUBG and Fortnite and yet to find a lag.
5. The camera quality is DSLR like. The front camera is truly amazing! The wide angle, zoom and extra wide lenses on the back are very useful in all situations. Night mode is a brilliant addition as it increases brightness and dynamic range in low light shots all the while keeping down the noise.
6. The s-pen has good functionality. Can use it for quickly jotting down your to-do list.
7. Battery life has been very very good. I am a heavy user and I can tell you it will definitely last you the whole day!!! Fast charging is super fast at just over an hour to the full charge.
8. Speakers are very loud and very clear even at high volumes. The stereo effect is well balanced and very pleasant. The AKG headset provided with the smartphone is of good quality and has punchy bass with balanced mids and trebles.
9. Finally the display! The crown jewel of the smartphone! Colour reproduction is on the point, contrast is just perfect and very high peak brightness gives brilliant outdoor visibility. Superb for playing games and streaming. Just watch an HDR movie on it and thank me later;) Definitely the good display I have ever seen!
Cons:
Lacks a headphone jack but USB c headphones are provided.

Conclusion: Buy it and you won't regret. good big smartphone of 2019!

This is my third note experience and i have used each of my note device for atleast 2-3 years. This is the most amazing and refined note experience i have had by far. I am a very heavy business user who uses his phone for note taking, ppts, emails and at the same time i am a cartoonist by hobby which makes this the most ideal device for my use case. Having said that, i believe everyone will find that their unique requirement can be met by this device as it has everything.

Key positives
1. brilliant Versatile Camera system with excellent color science.
2. Note taking with excellent handwriting recognition, Word and MS Office integration.
3. The good display and multimedia experience.
4. The smoothest galaxy experience with seamless ecosystem integration (Galaxy buds and watch). Infact the buds and note 10+ are a perfect pair for a business user. This negates to a certain extent the omission of headphone jack which i still dont support.
5. Bixby Routines is a very very powerful automation tool for the users. I have automated my battery management, screen resolution shifting, device sync operations, location enabling only for select apps and so on. this is a tool which they should advertise more as its a unique feature of One UI.
6. Battery life is where it this truly lives up to the note name. your milage may vary but easily consider 1-1.5 days of usage. this is based on my heavy use case.

My one suggestion, get the aura glow color, the color shift is not as aggressive as its visible on certain videos and reviews. Its has a mirror finish with a pleasant shimmer to it.

I used Sony Xperia Z1 from Aug-2013 till July-2019. It was one of the amazing products of its time. Water Resistant, Robust, Sexy looking, Fine 20MP camera, Fast for gaming and data transfers. It was the 3G at its good in it.
After a lot of research and since I use my phones for at least next 6 years, I was looking for all of the above capabilities with the good in 4G regardless of how much exorbitant that is. Note10 Plus exceeeeeeeeeeeeds all my requirements. I feel the power in my hands. And I believe it won't diminish in next 10 years from now. Some additions to my expectations:
1. With S-Pen, I am able to take side notes when on any call, convert it into Word or PDF doc email it immediately.
2. The charging tests on you tube show that it takes 66 mins to fully charge with 25W charger. Somehow, with me it took only 56 mins for full charging.
3. The speakers will blow your head clean off.....They are so amazingly louuuuud.
4. I game on my PC and hate mobile for that stuff. With Note10PLUS, I left PC for sometime and started gaming on mobile.
If you are a person, who attend remote meetings with Webex, need to share notes and docs quickly, do gaming, watch movies ... I mean want to do everything in one device and are looking for a lifespan of next 4 to 6 years then go for it.

My review consists of features important to me which made me buy note10+
1) Battery : 4300mah battery / lasts for almost 1.5 days on single charge / charges in approx.1.05 hrs
2) Note features : Stylus for notes,editing of documents etc. / motion gestures
3) Dex : You just need a desktop and it feels like laptop thereafter
4) Camera : Mind blowing picture quality / video stabalization is excellent / Video editing is such a simple task with note10+ now.
5) Bixby (vision/commands): Most advanced assitant available in the market
6) Write with spen and convert it to pdf or word
7) Gaming mode : I am not a gamer,but my first encounter with pubg on this phone makes me feel that soon i am going to addicted to gaming.
8) Inbuilt features : Samsung knox for security, virus scanners, samsung health, my galaxy for music,videos etc for free, microsoft softwares like onedrive , multiple apps on a single window etc..
To summarize my review i will say that if you want to spend 74K then dont just buy a phone with better camera . Look for a phone which will make your life easier. Trust me note10+ has such innovative ideas which will blow your mind and this phone is simply a pocket tablet. Totally worth 74K!!!!!

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus since 2 weeks. As I am IT professional I use it primarily for official purposes. I also browse net, use whatsapp and take pictures. I also use the pen. All the above are done quite extensively on a daily basis. I have to say this is the good phone I have used till date. I am using iphone for past 4 years. The flexibility to play around with apps like in Samsung was missing in iphone. Also I had low battery issues with iphone which is why I moved to Samsung. All this is past now and today I have a phone with brilliant resolution, fast performance, amazing camera, superb battery life with more than 60% left when I reach home. Despite of being a large phone, it is very light and extremely easy to hold while talking. Pen is also very impressive. As I use the phone for official purposes mostly, the bigger screen is a sheer advantage. Also I listen to you tube extensively and also connect the phone's internet with my car daily. Despite of all these, the phones performance is blazing. If wifi and bluetooth can be kept off and use mobile data more, the battery will easily last for 2 days. In one word, I feel this is the good phone that I have used so far since 22 years. Well done Samsung.

Samsung is one of the most trusted brand. And after years and years of using iPhones coupled with other subsidiary phones, I decided to ditch my iphone altogether and get the latest phone with the good!!! And now I am the proud owner of the Samsung Note 10 plus. good feature is that I can use my phone directly through my laptop. The ability for the handwriting to be converted to text is fabolous. So many amazing features on this phone!!!! All I had to do was simply close my eyes and get it. The Night shots of the camera was unbelievable!!!!! The Smart switch App let me switch my data and contact details and it was so easy!! The S Pen was one of the reason why I bought this phone because i needed to be constantly taking notes. I discovered I could do a screen recording of my phone as well.I am still using this phone and testing itand I still have to explore so many aspects of this phone. I got the Aura Black because I'd like to keep things simple. I just dont regret buying this phone . The only issue I had was when I did a software update my my 3G BSNL (sim 2) sim crashed.. but that was fixed by replacing the sim with a new 4G BSNL sim. So here is me, loving the phone !!!!!

Display 5/5
It has a brilliant dispaly, the resolution is amazing. completely satisfy with this feature.
Camera 5/5
Samsung is truely known for its cameras. And with this device also they truely live upto the expectations. I must say that this camera can give you picture upto the standard of DSLR.
Battery 5/5
I have bought this device 10 days earlier. And I am actually a fan of the battery. It provides the dash charging in true sense.
Memory 5/5
Ram 12 GB.Totally outstanding.
Processor 3/5
The only thing needs improvement is the processor as if I talk about the gaming experience then its a little disappointing. As there are devices which are actually supporting some of the games to a much better level then Note10+. Even though the other devices are from 3 generation earlier. Even Not for PUBG Mobile Lovers. On high graphics settings after 2 games, Heating and sticky.

All an all its a fabulous device. I am satisfied with the device the only thing need improvement is the gaming experience.

After a long time Samsung nailed it with all-round performance.
An A+ rated mammoth 6.8 QHD+ curved Display with no bezels on any side
One of the good rear cameras and there are tonnes of options to choose
Design was nailed again by Samsung again. I thought S10+ was the good design from Samsung so far but this one made the bulky phone more lovable with perfect balance
good Vibration motor in an android phone
Selfies look amazing
Untrasonic Fingerprint made the device unique and only Samsung has it
Massive battery life with super fast charging and it make sure my battery is charged fully in around 70 minutes which is faster than OnePlus 7 Pro
OneUI is one of the good things Samsung done so far and I am loving it every inch
Only downside is a lack of headphone jack but that's manageable
And finally the last one but not least S pen. The tricks up its sleeve are hard to describe and you can only experience it and that it what makes the Note series unique

Samsung has taken their smartphone game in the market to the next level. And this phone is Dope!!

There's nothing you really would dislike about this phone. Just the battery doesn't seem to be as promising as the S10 series. Something which i found is the fingerprint scanner is a bit slow.

However, every little feature of this phone is quite appealing and appreciable.

The display, design and build can't be any better.Pure Gold!! However i got some tiny permanent dots(scratches) which i do not have any idea how i got that given, i never used my phone without a cover/case.

Apart from all these very minor issues, you can absolutely go for this phone. You would just love this phone. And the product is worth it.
