It would be an instant buy from me, if it was with a flat display.

    I'm quite surprise with car scene score... Why S10e with the same res display could score a lot better than note10? I mean is the new exynos on Note10 worse than the old one on S10 series? Or is it because note10 display size is far bigger than S10e?

        Basically, normal humans with visual acuity of 1 arc minute is considered good. That works out to 300 ppi for reading distance of 1 foot. Steve Jobs was actually onto something when he marketed the Retina Display. So get your facts right.

          I want one. It's a perfect sized phone for me. I wanted to buy the s10e, but this is just something else. It fits nicely in the palm and it's very easy to use onehanded and it doesn't have so much curvature to the screen as S10. But I can't afford it. So I will probably go for the S10e, because I love small phones. I had almost all of the Xperia Compact series. Now I'm using the XA2, which I had bo buy in a hurry because the screen on the Z5C stopped working and it is a good phone, but it lacks "the punch".

The "your eye can't see high PPI" is a common misconception that keeps spreading due to ignorant people like you. How many pixels you can see and notice depends on the size of the display & the distance between the screen and your eyes.

              Textures & text becomes much more crisp on a 1440p panel compared to a 1080p one on most 6"+ phones, in your common handheld distance.

                  I don't understand why GSM arena keeps saying that Note10+ and standard have generous retail packages when they are literally the same as on all other Samsung flagships since Note7. This is even worse since it doesn't have both adapters (big and small USB to USB-C), all others had both. And the one thing they absolutely must have included (3.5mm to USB-C), they didn't. Even Apple included it when they removed the jack

                      Was desperate for a phone and bought the note 10 expecting to trade it in for a pixel 4 when it comes out but the pixel 4 will have to be something special for me to do that now.

                      I've generally been anti-samsung but this really is a great phone. This thing really shines when you hold it and use it for a while. The size is practically perfect, the screen is still great and the performance is definitely flagship worthy. And you get the s-pen to go with it.

                      On paper it misses out on a few things but they're negligible in day to day use unless you somehow plan on storing more than 256GB on your phone. Who would want to store that much in this day and age of cloud storage? I don't know.

                        This phone cuts so many corners and gets 4.7/5. Meanwhile Lenovo Z6 Pro gives it all & gets 4.2/5.

                        Scoring system is totally absurd.

                          I just came here to say that the review thumbnail reminded me of the Xperia XZ1 in Pink.
                          So close, I even thought they re-released their XZ1 review lol.

                                  I don't get how this even managed to get 4.7/5 when it's basically a worse and more expensive version of S10 with S-Pen. Note 9 still offers better overall value than the regular Note 10, while S10 series is far more reasonable choice for anyone apart from those who can't survive without a built-in stylus. Note 10+ is the true Note 10, this one should've been called Note 10e instead.

                                    People with an actual use for the stylus buy the note line.

                                      I am going to comment here because no one else has and I think that the Note 10 deserves a comment. Thanks for the awesome reviews GSM Arena.

                                        I've migrated away from Samsung Note series. There are just better alternatives out there which are cheaper, better in areas that matter and offers more features.

                                        Expandable storage, faster UI (though today's one UI is very close), larger battery and longer endurance rating, more versatile camera, back panel fingerprint scanner (more accurate reading and faster) and without the curved display that makes it so fragile.

                                        All of those whilst paying 60% or the Note price. No brainer if you ask me.
