 and it gets even more expensive if you want more storage and more RAM.Given that smartphone prices generally seem to be rising wed expect the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will cost at least this much.The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is sure to cost a lotSamsung Galaxy Note 10 news and rumorsSo far we havent heard anything about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, but we can take some educated guesses.For one thing, based on past form it will probably use the same chipset as the Samsung Galaxy S10. Now, we dont know exactly what that will use yet either, but its almost certainly going to have the latest high-end Snapdragon chipset (probably the Snapdragon 855) in the US and the latest Exynos one elsewhere.The Note 10 is also almost certainly going to have a curved Super AMOLED screen of at least 6.4 inches (which is how big the Note 9 is). You can probably expect water resistance too, given that all recent Samsung flagships have that.And of course, the S Pen will make a return, though quite possibly with some new features and refinements.What we want to seeWhile theres no Samsung Galaxy Note 10 news just yet, we have a good idea of what we want from it. Youll find our seven main suggestions below.1. A customizable Bixby buttonAs much as Samsung might want us to use Bixby in favor of Google Assistant the reality is that for the most part its just not as good, and Google has so much of a head start that we doubt it ever will be.That wouldnt be an issue except that Samsung insists on putting a physical Bixby button on its Note phones, so for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 we either want this to be removed or to be customizable, so you can set it to launch something other than Bixby.2. HDR video recordingFor the Note 10 we hope the camera is capable of HDR videoMany high-end handsets can now record HDR video, but the Galaxy Note 9 cant. Its a shame, because its a noticeably weak point in a camera thats otherwise great.So we really want to see HDR recording offered by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. And not just any HDR, but 4K HDR (which is also offered by some rivals), so it can shoot videos that look as good as its photos surely will.3. An in-screen fingerprint scannerThe Note 9 has a fingerprint scanner on the back, which allows for slim bezels on the front (though still more of a bottom bezel than wed have hoped to see) but arguably makes it slightly trickier to reach than a front-facing scanner.We also noted in our review that its too small and too close to the camera, making it easy to accidentally hit that instead and smudge the lens.So for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 we want the scanner on the front, but rather than being under the screen we want it built into the screen, like a few phones are now offering.4. A completely new lookThe Galaxy Note 9 looks good, but we've seen it all beforeThe Note 9 is a nice looking phone, but its also similar in design to the last few and the bezels are starting to feel a bit much compared to the likes of the iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro.So wed like to see a design overhaul for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. It can keep the water resistance and the curvy screen, but hopefully the rest of the design will change to something fresher and more modern.5. A lower priceTheres no getting around the fact that the Note 9 is a very, very expensive phone and were expecting the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be at least as pricey.But were hoping it wont be. If Samsung can shave a couple of hundred dollars/pounds off the price then it could have far wider appeal.6. Improved facial recognitionWe'd like to see Samsung match Apple for facial recognitionThe Galaxy Note 9 has both an iris scanner and facial recognition, but - as we note in our review - even combined these sensors are no match for Apples Face ID, so wed like to see real improvements here for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.That will probably mean packing in more and better cameras and sensors on the front so it can build up an accurate 3D picture of our face.That could be expensive and make removing the bezel trickier, but if it leads to a fast, secure scanner that works in almost all lighting then it might be worth it.7. An even longer-lasting batteryFor the Galaxy Note 9 Samsung upped the ranges battery size to 4,000mAh, delivering over a day of life in the process.Thats good work, but we want to see further improvements for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, especially given that batteries wear out over time, so if you plan to hold on to the phone for two years or more you might notice significantly reduced life by the end.On that note, if Samsung can make the battery degrade slower that would be appreciated too.UDKrck3CmgirAaMw9ih7mf.jpg# )
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 needs to pack a punch to get the series back in the limelight.
There aren't any Galaxy Note 10 leaks or rumors just yet, but we've put together a list of what we want from Samsung and its next flagship phablet to help propel the handset to the top of the pile.The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is packed full of features and tech, yet in a lot of ways it still feels like a small upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.So as much as we love it, were hoping for more from the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
We want big, fundamental changes and upgrades that go further towards justifying its inevitably enormous price tag.Weve listed some of our specific hopes below, but before that youll find educated guesses at the release date, specs and features of the Galaxy Note 10.Nothing is even rumored yet, but as soon as we start hearing things well add those to this article too.Cut to the chaseWhat is it The next stylus-toting flagship from SamsungWhen is it out Probably August 2019What will it cost More than most other phonesSamsung Galaxy Note 10 release date and priceIts likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 launch date will be some point in August 2019, as in recent years Samsung has announced new Galaxy Note handsets in August.However, the exact point in the month does vary.
The Galaxy Note 9 for example was announced on August 9 2018, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was announced on August 23 of 2017.And even once the Galaxy Note 10 is announced it will likely be at least a couple of weeks before you can buy it, so dont be surprised if it doesnt hit stores until late August or September 2019.As for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 price, the Note 9 starts at $1,000 (899, AU$1,499) and it gets even more expensive if you want more storage and more RAM.Given that smartphone prices generally seem to be rising wed expect the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will cost at least this much.The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is sure to cost a lotSamsung Galaxy Note 10 news and rumorsSo far we havent heard anything about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, but we can take some educated guesses.For one thing, based on past form it will probably use the same chipset as the Samsung Galaxy S10.
