NOTE 10 a S10 with s-pen ?

Edited: Feb 23, 2020, 4:55 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

How could I describe Note 10, an S10 with s-pen? yes but no.
Let's be clear, the 2 smartphones are quite similar except that NOTE 10 has an extra s-pen and the front camera is placed in the middle - I find that on the S10 and especially the S10+ where both cameras are placed, it was finally average /
For some applications it is easier with Note 10 than with S10 and you can put them in full screen without being bothered by the punch in the top right corner.
Question design my choice would also go towards Note 10 already for the better placed front camera and finally the screen is a hair bigger than the S10 without necessarily being huge as it is the case with Note 10+
Hardware and functionality, here too it remains similar except the bonuses offered by the S-Pen but not being a user of this object, I can express myself too much on the subject.
The autonomy is not better on the note 10 but it remains liveable and we have the fast charge that helps.
The screen resolution is full HD but it is more than enough unless you are doing VR.
The sound is also good on one or the other.
No port jack? no worries a Bluetooth headset will do the job like galaxy buds for example.
No SD card? it's not awkward since we have 256 GB available and the cloud to store photos or music. In addition, access to the gallery will be more fluid than using an SD card.
If you want to pay less, take the S10 or S10+ otherwise Note 10 is a great smartphone.
