Samsung Galaxy Note 10/10+ Hands-on: Is two better than one? [Video]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 1o and Note 10+ were finally officially unveiled yesterday. Consumer reaction has been quite a bit different than previous Note launches. A lot of people are not terribly impressed with what Samsung had to show off, even though they added a new addition to the Note family. Pocketnow’s Jaime Rivera and XDA TV’s TK Bay had a chance to get their hands on both new Notes.

Samsung took an approach that has become pretty common in recent years. Instead of launching just one phone, they split the Note into two sizes. We saw the same thing with the Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e. But Samsung already had two versions of the same phone, they were just separated by 6 months and different names.

Jaime talks about how the rumors missed the mark on what is important about the Galaxy Note 10 series. Samsung focused on four areas: Power, Productivity, Creativity, and Performance. It’s interesting to hear Samsung not talk as much about specs when that has been the core component of the Note series. They ditched the headphone jack and the faster charging feature requires a separate charger. So does more models mean a better Note? Check out both full videos below to see the hands-on.
