Galaxy Note 10+ specs comparison vs OnePlus 7 Pro, Google Pixel 3
The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are the new Samsung's heavy-hitters that will have to compete against the iPhones, Pixels, and OnePluses of the second half of the year. 

Just like the Galaxy S series a couple of months ago, the Note series now embarks on an exciting new journey as far as design and features go, stretching the limits of smartphone design as we've known it and setting new benchmarks for its competitors.

For the first time we've got two separate Note devices released back-to-back, Well, technically, you can count the Galaxy Note 4 and Note edge as the pioneers in thes field, but the latter was more of an experiment to test out the waters with its curved screen design. An experiment that's proven to be quite successful as most of Samsung's flagship phones ever since have employed a curved display, some moreso than others.

How do they stack up against the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Pixel 3, 3 XL? Only one way to find out!
