Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus 5G 256GB - Aura Glow - Single-SIM - Unlocked (Renewed)

Product Information

Note 10 video benefits most from its 'Super Steady' optical image stabilization (OIS). Our side-by-side comparisons with an iPhone XS Max and Note 9 show Samsung's newest phone offers smoother video. It won't make you ditch something like the DJI Osmo Mobile 3, but when gimbal-free, you'll have the least shaky video out there. That's half my testing stops where I ran into issues with 5G. Some hiccups are to be expected when rolling out a new network, and Verizon's coverage will undoubtedly improve over time. But the same inconsistencies with coverage that we've seen in previous stops were on display here, too. Note 10 Plus 5G outlook As you’d expect from Samsung's technical leader, the Note 10+ has a very formidable specs sheet that reads more like a laptop's than a smartphone's. Powering the device is a new seven-nanometre Exynos 9825 chipset that delivers faster speeds (see benchmarks boxout) and greater power management than the impressive Exynos 9820inside the Galaxy S10 series. It is also important to note here that the power button, which is left-mounted on the Note 10+ along with the volume buttons, now doubles as the Bixby button (more on that chap later).

Providence is one of 10 cities where Verizon's 5G service is available in select areas. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Samsung's use of punchy colors, a pixel-dense Quad HD+ resolution, and high peak brightness have always made its Super AMOLED screens look superb. It's just now maximized to seem extra immersive and worth all of that hand stretching. The S Pen allowed us to become the maestro of taking selfies, conducting the camera app to snap in multiple modes and take an endless parade of fun Live Focus shots. It worked for the most part, except you really new a tripod for this.

Specifications

Performance is, as you can seen from the nearby boxout, top level. That combination of Exynos 9825, Mali-G76 GPU, and 12GB of RAM means that anything mobile you throw at this phone it will deal with comfortably. With Night Mode enabled, we do see less aggressive smoothing, but more noise as exposure is increased. In most dark scenarios, we found it to be a better trade off. But for this reason, the Google Pixel 3, with its superior post-processing in Night Sight mode, remains the overall winner for your nighttime and bar-restaurant shots. However, if the much maligned notch on the iPhone Xhas taught us anything, it’s that it’s veryeasy to get used to an intrusion in the middle of the screen. We found the differences between the S10 Plus and Note 10 Plus still cameras to be minimal. Video is where Samsung's newest phone breaks new ground – if you ignore the silly features that distract from what's really good.

Toward the end of my testing session, it began to rain, but I'm not sure that affected my results so much as it did my disposition. A Verizon representative told me that only rain that completely obscures visibility would disrupt 5G connectivity. Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G speed results Battery time is based on our own laboratory measurements, and may vary depending on factors such as device settings, usage patterns and operating conditions.Update: Samsung has recently released some beefy successors to this model by the names of Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 5G. Specifications & Features There's also one less button on the rails of this year's Note. The power button is now on the left side, as it's been combined with the much-maligned Bixby button.It's a good move. Oh, Bixby remains a completely mediocre voice assistant and the power button's move does take getting used to. But you'll be way more mindful of this new 'everything' button and quit mistakenly pressing it thinking it's volume down.
