Why Does The Galaxy Note 10 Exist?


Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ at its Unpacked event on August 7 in New York. The latest flagship duo from the company have a lot to offer but when you're living in a world where the Galaxy S10+ exists, it's hard to justify buying the standard Note 10.

The Galaxy Note 10 starts at a price of Rs. 69,999 in India whereas the S10+ is currently available at a starting price of Rs. 73,900.

Of course, you do get the slightly slimmer bezels and boxier design and the extra storage space on the Galaxy Note 10 — 256GB when compared to the S10+'s 128GB which might be a bonus for some although most users are satisfied with 128GB of onboard storage.

Apart from the S-Pen and higher onboard storage, the Galaxy Note 10 falls behind the S10+ in most other aspects.


Here are a few things the Note 10 lacks when compared to the S10+:

  • No headphone jack.
  • FullHD+ display vs QHD+ on the S10+.
  • 3500mAH battery vs 4100mAH.
  • Non-expandable storage vs expandable storage up to 512GB on the S10+.
  • No heart-rate sensor.

By simply going through the features the Note 10 lacks over the Galaxy S10+, it isn't hard to see the compromise Samsung made with the Note 10 to make the Note 10+ the more compelling device of the flagship duo.

While none of the missing features are complete deal-breakers, you'd still be spending more than half a lakh or almost a thousand dollars on the Note 10 which is supposed to be Samsungs 'no-compromise' smartphone which clearly isn't in this case.

Heck, even the standard OnePlus 7 puts up a good fight against the Note 10 to invest your hard-earned dough in without having to think twice.

In conclusion, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 isn't a 'bad' device by any means, however, that isn't to say that it's any better than most other flagships currently available and with the launch of the Google Pixel 4 just around the corner, buying the Note 10 is hard to justify.

Nonetheless, it all boils down to how important the S-Pen is to you. If you're someone who simply can't do without the S-Pen, then you already know the answer to 'Should I buy the Galaxy Note 10', for the rest, wait for the Pixel 4 or the OnePlus 7T/ 7T Pro or simply grab the Galaxy S10+.

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
