Engadget Review
The Galaxy Note 10 squeezes a 6.3-inch screen into a phone that’s about the same size as an iPhone XS. And it’s much easier to use with one hand than any other entry in the Note line. The Note 10 is largely the same as the 10+. That means the same powerful performance and basically the same cameras. But, it does make tradeoffs to shave off those millimeters: most notably it has a lower-res screen, less RAM and Samsung ditched the microSD slot. Sadly, the price didn’t get the same treatment and remains as huge as ever.
Having the S Pen in a smaller handset is great, but it’s not worth $950.

In fact, right now, at $950, the standard Note 10 costs $50 less than a comparable Galaxy S10+, which offers nearly an extra 1.5 hours of battery life, but at the expense of not having an S Pen.Tom's Guide90Big screen in a small packageThe Galaxy Note 10's delivers epic battery life and a super-bright screen in a phenomenally compact design.TechRadar80Samsung's smaller, handier NoteThe Galaxy Note 10 is Samsung’s easiest to use S Pen-toting phone yet, and while there may not be any game-changing features to make this a must-buy handset, it’s a solid addition to the Note range.The Verge80Smaller phone, bigger expectationsThough it may not be readily apparent from reading its spec sheet, the Note has changed more this year than it has with any prior model. No longer the King of the Big Phone Hill, the Note 10 is something else. It’s the phone that comes with a pen.Android Central80Finally, an S Pen in a smaller phoneThe Note 10 brings an S Pen to a phone size we haven't seen since the Note 3. That makes it a refreshing option for anyone who wants a smaller screen. But the high price and battery compromise make it a tough buy over a Galaxy S10+.TrustedReviews80Samsung Galaxy Note 10 ReviewSamsung appears to be driving you towards purchasing the bigger model by restricting such features as expandable storage, screen resolution and camera quality in the Note 10.Digital Trends80The Note for everyone elseThe Galaxy Note 10 will satisfy all with a big screen and a compact size.BGR90Samsung managed to improve upon its best phone to dateSamsung takes the incredibly solid foundation of the S10 and builds upon it in subtle ways that end up becoming greater than the sum of their parts. And even if the S Pen isn’t as revolutionary as Samsung hypes it up to be, and One UI doesn’t change the face of the mobile operating system, the Note 10 is still one of the best phones of the past few years.
