Samsung Galaxy Note 10 details leaked by marketing materials ahead of reveal event

Samsung is not very good at keeping secrets. Details of its last few devices have leaked ahead of their big, expensive launch events – and that’s happened again, courtesy, this time, of Samsung’s own marketing materials.

Later this evening there’s a great big Unpacked event for the reveal of their new Note, as Samsung is wont to do, but – spectacle and glamour notwithstanding – the punch of the event has been diminished because we now know just about everything we need to about impending new Note.

Droid Life has the juice, and they’ve said that Samsung will be showing off the Note 10 and the Note10+ at their event. They’ve also said a Note 10 5G is on the way. According to the leaked Samsung marketing materials, the Note 10 will come with a 6.3″ screen, while the Note 10+ will have a 6.8″ one. While the screens still have a centre punch hole for the camera, they both have “nearly bezel-less” infinity displays. The devices will have a resolution of 3,040×1,140, a pixel density of 498ppi, support for HDR10+ and come with an embedded fingerprint scanner.

One of the more exciting things about the Note10 is the new S Pen, which features air gestures. Yes, you can control your phone by waggling the pen about like a wizard, which is ap at Samsung calls the new S Pen a “magic wand for your smartphone.” You’ll be able to take photo’s remotely, change lenses, change music tracks and more – along with the usual Pen features, like handwriting-to-text and all that artistic stuff.

The Note 10 will be stuffed with a 3400mAh battery, while the plus will have a whopper of a 4300mAh battery, with both models featuring quick charge, letting users get “hours of juice from minutes of charge time.”

Galaxy-Note-10-Features-2-1

Samsung is touting the Note 10 as a “pro studio” in your pocket, with a professional-grade camera for video, along with a trio of microphones for quality audio recording, that refocuses to zoom in on just the audio you want to capture. Sounds compelling!

We also know that the new devices will be powered by Samsung’s newly unveiled Exynos 9825 SoC, a 7nm chip that’ll reportedly run at 2.7GHz and is the equivalent of Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 865. Of course, it’ll be pricy. Expect the Galaxy Note 10 to start at $949 and the Galaxy Note 10+ to come in at $1099 for the 256GB model.

      Fairplay, but If you can afford this phone you can afford blue tooth headphones

      At least they don’t have the stylus sitting outside the phone…oh wait, I think they do! Or don’t they. I know the Tab S6 has the stylus attached to the back of the device via a magnet. Guess that’s one way to make extra money after the purchase! I see many people losing them!

    “leaked”

    Also probably costs as much as a second hand car

    As an exclusively Note user for the last 8 years, this is not enough to compel me to upgrade over the Note 8. Maybe i’m getting too old for all this focus on photo and video quality stuff.

      I will most probably upgrade from my S9 when my contract is up for renewal next year. I already have a Note 9 via my company, and I am enjoying the extra screen real estate. Spec wise, it is exactly the same as my S9, so I don’t see any difference in performance.

        Unless a phone projects holograms like in blade runner, or has some other mind-blowing tech, i’m not gonna waste money on more contracts.

          I get what you’re saying. Before I got my S9, I was still using my S4! So I had my phone for 5 years before it became to unbearable with the battery and the drop in performance. Hell, I’m still using my Note 10.1 2014 Edition tablet. If it wasn’t for me appreciating the extra screen real estate I have on my company phone, which is a Note 9, I would most probably stick with my S9. But now, I want my personal phone to have that screen real estate advantage.

            Once you go Note you’ll never go back. Love these things. They hold up well against time. Ever since Note 5. In fact I only got my Note 8 because the 5 got stolen.

    Ok at current exchange rate… roughly R16.3K.

    So we can expect to pay at least 30K+ right? That’s how it works yeah?

      Might not be so bad, but I do expect it to be just South or North of 20K. I mean you can get the lower end Note 9 for about 13K now, and it’s barely a year old.

        Really? That’s quite impressive actually. Also scary how quickly tech devalues now. The speed of progress is making stuff obsolete so quickly

    I am hoping to get to see the new Samsung Galaxy Watch.

    Next year might me an expensive year for me. I intend to get the LTE version of the Tab S6 (I am still using the Tab 10.1 from 2014), the Note 10 most probably, and the Galaxy watch.

        I think I need to upgrade from my analog timepiece. Plus, I love the idea of not carrying a wallet around as I use Samsung Pay, and the Galaxy Watch has the functionality. It’s also easier to use a watch to pay for something than to whip out my phone and do it.

        We are a lazy generation!
