But with a more powerful CPU and even more RAM - 12GB in the Note 10 Plus - you'd expect the newest Notes to outperform the Note 9 by a wide margin. The 6GB version scored 8,876 on the Geekbench 4 test of overall system performance. You can find the Note 9 with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The Note 9 is built on last year’s cutting-edge chipset, Snapdragon 845.

However, the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus have the same Snapdragon 855 CPU you’ll find in every major Android flagship released this year. We were looking forward to putting that chip through its paces.

Our biggest complaint: text conversion doesn't feel as instant as it could. The Note 10 also introduces handwriting-to-text conversion, which seemed gimmicky in our time with the device. You can also use the Note 10’s S Pen button as a remote control, just as you could with the Note 9.

In the camera app, for instance, pressing the S Pen’s button and swiping up in front of the phone will flip the view from the Note 10’s rear lenses to the front-facing one. These controls can trigger different actions depending on which app you’re using. The Note 10’s S Pen can now be used for gesture-based Air Actions, which can perform tasks a la Harry Potter’s wand (but, you know, less cool and actually real, even if some of the gestures were a little finicky when we tested them). The Note 10's S Pen has more tricks than last year's Note (Image credit: Tom's Guide) The S Pen has always been a signature standout feature in the Note lineup, and with the Note 10 and 10 Plus, Samsung has doubled down. Still, given how expansive the Note 10 Plus' display is, it's easier to bask in the bright colors you get on the new phone's screen. Last year's Galaxy Note is a little more colorful, capturing 224% of the sRGB color gamut to 212% for the Note 10 Plus. It's bright - we measured 686 nits of brightness with a light meter, compared to 604 nits on the Note 9. We're still testing the Note 10, but it's hard not to view the Note 10 Plus display as one of the best Samsung has ever put on a phone. The Note 10 and Note 10 Plus feature a similar Infinity-O display to the S10 with a camera cut-out at the top for taking selfies, but Samsung’s newest flagships have those lenses directly in the center of the display as opposed to the right-justified lenses in the S10 lineup. Samsung retained thicker top and chin bezels in the Note 9, but then went fully bezel-free for the S10, S10e and S10 Plus. The biggest display difference is in the bezels - or the lack thereof, in the case of the Note 10 and 10 Plus.

But the Galaxy Note 10 Plus sets the new standard for smartphone displays. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s 6.4-inch Super AMOLED (2960 x 1440) was best in class when the phone launched last year.

The Note 9 retained its 3.5mm audio port, which could make it more useful for power users who don’t want to buy Bluetooth headphones. (Unfortunately, as we discovered after spending extensive time with the Note 10 Plus, the Aura Glow model really picks up fingerprint smudges quickly.) The new devices also come in Aura Blue, Aura White and Aura Black.īut when you get to the bottom edge of the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, you may be shocked: These are the first Notes with no headphones jacks. The colorful ombre Aura Glow Note 10 is particularly stunning, creating an effect that almost mimics the Aurora Borealis. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus come in more beautiful hues than the Note 9’s subtle purple and blue shades. When you flip the devices over, you’ll notice even bigger differences.
