I remember getting to review the very first Note (whoah, just found the old review...). The looks I got from it. It was a beast of a size. A whopping 5.3" ... which was huge back then. People couldn't get beyond the size until I could show them the pen.
Since then there's been a real network of SPen enthusiasts. They want the Note to not just be a phone, it's got to be a powerhouse to duplicate a workstation as well as have the creative ability to take notes/doodles wherever they are.
Yesterday we saw the launch of the new Note 10!
And there's going to be 2 new options for sizes. Essentially an S10 with a pen, and then a Note.
The pen is enhanced for more gyro sensors for better gestures, and you'll notice they eliminated the headphone jack so it's got a stronger vibration motor and a slightly bigger battery.

Introducing Galaxy Note10: Designed to Bring Passions to Life with Next-Level Power
The most powerful Galaxy Note yet with a suite of productivity and creativity tools including an Intelligent S Pen and pro-grade camera
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Samsung Electronics Canada today unveiled the Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+, a new line of premium smartphones that combines elegant design with powerful performance and productivity tools to help users make the most of every moment. Inspired by a generation that moves seamlessly between work and life, the Galaxy Note10 series gives users the freedom to work the way they want and showcase their creative spirit, all on-the-go. For years, the Galaxy Note series has helped millions of loyal users around the world pursue their passions and achieve their goals, and with the Galaxy Note10, Samsung is helping users do more of what they love.
"From the very beginning, the Galaxy Note has stood for the best-of-the-best technologies and features. The Galaxy Note10 series re-imagines this promise for the modern Note fan who uses their smartphone to take their productivity and creativity to the next level, and who effortlessly flows between ideas and endeavors at a moment's notice," said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. "Every element of the Galaxy Note10 series was designed to help users achieve more. Whether they're finishing a big project for work, capturing and editing a video, or playing their favourite mobile game, the Galaxy Note10 series will help them do it faster and better."
PURPOSEFUL DESIGN FOR A PREMIUM EXPERIENCE
Galaxy Note users appreciate the power of sophisticated design—not just the look and feel of their device, but the experience it offers. Every element of the Galaxy Note10 series is crafted to be sleek, slim and distraction-free, so users can devote their full attention to the ideas, projects, and content that matters most.
- Two Sizes: For the first time ever, the Galaxy Note10 comes in two sizes so consumers can find the Note that suits them the best. The Galaxy Note10 opens up the Note to users who want the power of the Intelligent S Pen and ultimate productivity, packing a 6.3-inch Cinematic Infinity Display into the most compact Note yet. The Galaxy Note10+ features the biggest Note display ever with a 6.8-inch Cinematic Infinity Display on a device that's still easy to hold and use.
The Galaxy Note10 series' display is Samsung's best yet on a Note. From its physical construction to its underlying technology, the display is designed to immerse users in their favourite TV, movies and games.
- Edge-to-edge Design: The Galaxy Note10 series' edge-to-edge Cinematic Infinity-O Display is nearly bezel-less, while the in-display cut out for the front camera is small and centered for a balanced design.
- Best Quality Display: The Galaxy Note10 series features the Dynamic AMOLED display. With HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping, photos and videos are brighter on the Galaxy Note10 than on previous Galaxy Note devices, and feature a stunning, wide colour range. The Eye Comfort display reduces blue light without affecting colour quality for comfortable viewing1.
MULTI-FACETED PRODUCTIVITY TO MAXIMIZE EVERY MOMENTNote users put a premium on productivity, and they see their phone as essential to helping them do and achieve more. For these users, the Galaxy Note10 series features new technologies, enhanced capabilities and powerful integrations that give users the freedom to work in the way that makes them the most productive.
- Handwriting to Text: The Galaxy Note10 series brings a powerful new capability to the re-designed, uni-body Intelligent S Pen. Now users can jot down notes, instantly convert their handwriting to digital text in Samsung Notes, and export it to a variety of different formats, including Microsoft Word. Users can now customize notes by shrinking, enlarging, or changing the colour of the text. In just a few taps, meeting minutes can be formatted and shared; bursts of inspiration can quickly become editable documents.
- Evolution of the Intelligent S Pen: The Galaxy Note10 series builds on the Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled Intelligent S Pen capabilities introduced on the Galaxy Note9 by adding Air Actions, allowing you to control certain aspects of the device using gestures with the Intelligent S Pen. By opening up the Air Actions SDK, users can create customized controls that give users the ability to play games or use their favourite applications using gestures.
- Samsung DeX for PC2: The Galaxy Note10 series extends Samsung DeX's capabilities, making it easier for users to switch between their phone and compatible PC or Mac. With a simple USB connection, users can drag and drop files between devices, and use their favourite mobile apps with a mouse and a keyboard, while keeping their data more secure on their phone through Samsung Knox.
- Link to Windows: The Galaxy Note10 series integrates Link to Windows directly into the Quick Panel. With one click, users can connect to their Windows 10 PC where they can see notifications, send and receive messages, and review recent photos without pausing to look down at their phone.
PRO-GRADE CAMERA FOR CREATORSWith the Galaxy Note10 series, content creators and everyday users alike can use state-of-the-art tools to capture stunning video and photos—helping their channels, stories and posts make a statement. Featuring a combination of advanced imaging technology and software, the Galaxy Note10 series elevates mobile videography and photography to the next level.
- Premium Video Technology: The Galaxy Note10 series enables users to capture pro-grade videos without having to carry around any extra gear. LiveFocus video adds depth-of-field adjustments so you can blur the background to focus on your subject. Zoom-In Mic amplifies the audio in frame and pushes background noise aside to help focus on the sounds that you want. And to remove the bumps and shakes that usually make an action shot blurry, new and improved Super steady stabilizes footage and is now available in Superfast mode for steady time-lapse videos.
- Quick and Easy Video Editing: Once they've recorded their video, Galaxy Note10 series users can edit-on-the-go instantly right from their phone. Video editor can be used with the Intelligent S Pen, so instead of having to tap to select or edit a clip, users can choose the precise moment they want to trim. For creators who need even more control over their footage, Adobe Rush3 provides a sophisticated suite of editing tools, now made more accurate with the Intelligent S Pen.
- Screen Recorder: For gamers who want to add some personality to their streams, or vloggers who want to enhance their tutorials, the Galaxy Note10 series introduces Screen recorder. Easily capture what's on the screen, use picture-in-picture to add reactions, and use the Intelligent S Pen to annotate as you record for a more entertaining, engaging video.
- AR Doodle and 3D Scanner: The Galaxy Note10 series integrates bleeding-edge AR and 3D capabilities into the camera. Along with an Ultra Wide camera, it opens up an entirely new medium for creators. With AR Doodle, use the Intelligent S Pen to personalize photos with dynamic drawings, effects, and animations that track to the image.
- Night Mode: People take plenty of selfies in low light situations—at dinner, at concerts or just enjoying a sunset. Night Mode, now available on the front camera, lets users capture striking selfies regardless of how dim or dark the conditions are.
SUPERB PERFORMANCE FOR POWER USERSNote fans use their phones to do just about everything—not just tackling everyday tasks, but taking on big projects: running their business, editing video for their social media channels and creating beautiful illustrations with the Intelligent S Pen. To help users do it all, the Galaxy Note10 series is engineered with top-tier hardware and next-level features.
- Super Fast Charging: With just 30 minutes of charge, the Galaxy Note10+ lasts all day4 with up to 25W wired charging capability5.
- Wireless PowerShare6: Wireless PowerShare comes to the Note. Users can wirelessly recharge their Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, or another Qi-enabled device with the Galaxy Note10 series.
- Gaming: As mobile games get more processing-heavy and graphics-rich, the best gaming experiences require top specs. The Galaxy Note10 series features the world's slimmest vapor chamber cooling system, which delivers optimal performance during gameplay while keeping the device slim and sleek. With the AI-based Game Booster, the Galaxy Note10 optimizes performance and power consumption depending on the game. And with the PlayGalaxy Link P2P streaming service, users can pick up where users left off on any PC game and enable them to continue playing on the move with no need for local storage.
A PORTAL TO THE GALAXY ECOSYSTEMThe Galaxy Note10 series sits at the heart of the Galaxy ecosystem, a suite of premium products and services that offer experiences to help make users' lives more streamlined and connected. Wearables like the Galaxy Watch and tablets like the Galaxy Tab S6 keep users connected and help them accomplish more on-the-go.
