True to the recent leaks, the new Note 10 and Note 10+ phones will not be coming with audio ports and will instead have a single USB-C connection.

The two smartphones – along with its respective 5G variant models – were unveiled at the tech giant’s Unpacked event held at the Barclay’s Centre in New York on Wednesday (Aug 7).

Despite the absence of a headphone jack, the Note 10 phones have mostly been beefed up, including bigger screens, more cameras, larger storage and bigger batteries. Its popular S-Pen stylus has also been given an upgrade with more productivity tools.

In many ways, the two models sandwich last year’s Note 9, which is evident in terms of battery –the standard Note 10 has 3,500 mAh to play with (a step back from the Note 9’s 4,000 mAh) but the Note 10+ takes it up a notch with a 4,300 mAh battery.

That said, both new phones sport intelligent batteries capable of superfast charging. According to Eric Chou, director of product, Samsung Australia, the Galaxy Note 10+ can last a whole day on a speedy 30-minute charge with the 45W charger that comes separately.

In terms of storage and power, the Note 10 boasts 256GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM. Its bigger brother – or sister – has its RAM amped up to 12GB and it has an additional 512GB internal storage version. It also comes with an expandable microSD storage option of up to 1TB, like last year’s Note 9.

When it comes to its display, the Note 10’s 6.3” AMOLED screen is a step down from its Note 9 predecessor, with a 2280 x 1080 resolution compared to the latter’s 2960 x 1440 resolution. Meanwhile, the Note 10+’s 6.8” screen is the largest seen on a Note to date.
