Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: what are the differences?When you decide to buy a Galaxy Note 10 phone, you need to know there are two models of Galaxy Note 10. So, what are the major differences for Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+?

Table of Contents hide
1) Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: they are for a different audience
2) Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: Screen size and resolution
3) RAM and storage
4) ToF 3D VGA camera and 3D scanner
5) Superfast charging
6) Battery capacity
7) Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: SD card support
8) Price

This post details the major differences between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ to help you make the correct decision when purchasing a Galaxy Note 10.

The top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10 were summarized in this post. The top 10 missing features of Galaxy Note 10 can be found in this post.

Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: they are for a different audience

If you are an owner of Galaxy Note phone, you need to know Galaxy Note 10+ is the successor for Galaxy Note 9.  If you want to upgrade, you should choose Galaxy Note 10+, not Galaxy Note 10. You may check the missing features of Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) before upgrading.

Galaxy Note 1o is a “lite” version of Galaxy Note 10+. It is not designed for existing Galaxy Note device owners. Instead, Samsung probably intended to use Galaxy Note 10 to attract new “S Pen” users who are currently using other middle-range Android phones.

Please note  Galaxy Note 10+ is NOT exceptionally larger compared to many other mainstream phones.  The curved the screen, thin bezel, and the 19:9 aspect ratio makes its physical dimensions just similar to other flagship phones.

Anyway, do not assume Galaxy Note 10 is large. Samsung actually reduced the width of the phone over the years. Both Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are NOT very large.

Please note, in the Galaxy Note 10 box, there are no differences except the phone.

Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: Screen size and resolution

Both Galaxy Note 10 and 10+ use the top-tier OLED screen, which no other Android manufacturers can match.

Galaxy Note 10 has a 6.3″ screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 (1080p).

While Galaxy Note 10+ has a larger screen of 6.8″ with a resolution of 1440 x 3040 (1440p).

Most users will not notice the difference in the resolution because the pixel density is so high. In fact, by default, Samsung may set the screen resolution of Galaxy Note 10+ to 1080p as well to save battery. Of course, you can also change it as explained here.

But for some game players, the resolution can be important. They usually prefer a bigger screen with more pixels.

Although the size and dimensions differ considerably, the layout of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ is almost identical except the back camera.

RAM and storage

In most regions, Galaxy Note 10 comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Galaxy Note 10+, in most regions, comes with 12GB RAM and 256/512GB storage.

For most users, 8GB RAM is sufficient. 12GB RAM is overkill for today’s smartphones.

ToF 3D VGA camera and 3D scanner

Galaxy Note 10+ has 4 rear camera lenses, while Galaxy Note 10 has only 3. You may check the Galaxy Note 10 layout to visualize the difference.

The missing rear camera lens on Galaxy Note 10 is the ToF (time-of-flight) 3D VGA camera (with an infrared light sensor).

Samsung brand this 3D ToF camera as DepthVision camera, which can be used to get the “depth” (relative distance) of any object in the frame. So, it is easy to isolate an object and even measure its dimensions.

The DepthVision has great potentials in photography (e.g., portrait mode), 3D scanning, and AR (augmented reality) applications.

But this is the first iteration of this feature, you’d expect some bugs. The 3D scanner feature is available now  (you need to download the 3D scanner app from Galaxy App store) will only be available in the future software update.

Superfast charging

Galaxy Note 10 supports fast charging at 25W. Galaxy Note 1o+ also supports Superfast charging at 45W.

Please note, 45W (or 25W) is the maximum possible charging capacity.  It is meaningful only when the battery level is lower than about 60%.

Also, in the box of Galaxy Note 10+, there is only a 25W wall charger. You have to buy a 45W charger if you want to try the Superfast charging.

As shown in this guide, the 45W charger does not reduce the charging time (about 10 mins) considerably for Galaxy Note 10+. Of course, the 45W charger does charge faster when the battery is less than about 60-70%.

Battery capacity

Due to its bigger size, Galaxy Note 10+ has a 4300 mAh battery. While Galaxy Note 10 has a 3500mAh battery.

The scree-on time for Galaxy Note 10+ should be slightly longer.  The Galaxy Note 10+ has a screen area of 114 cm², which is about 16% larger than that of Galaxy Note 10 (98.6 cm²). But the battery capacity of Galaxy Note 10+ is about 22.8% larger.

Of course, the actual screen-on time depends on many other factors as well.

Please note, based on our Galaxy Note 10 battery charging test, the charging time for Galaxy Note 10 is about 30% longer than that for Galaxy Note 10+ using the identical 25W bundled wall charger. So, do NOT assume you can get shorter charging time for Galaxy Note 10, although the battery is smaller and supports 25W Super-fast charging.

Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: SD card support

Galaxy Note 10+ support micro SD card. For the single SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, there is a dedicated micro SD card slot in the SIM card tray.  For the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, you can put either a SIM card or a micro SD card in the slot 2.

Galaxy Note 10 does not have a micro SD card slot.  In the dual SIM version of Galaxy Note 10, both slots on the SIM card tray can only put SIM cards.

If 256GB storage is not sufficient for you, then you have to consider Galaxy Note 10+.

Price

In most regions, the price of Galaxy Note 10+ is about US$150 higher than that of Galaxy Note 10.

The 512GB storage version of Galaxy Note 10+ usually is about US$100-200 (depending on the region) more expensive than the 256GB version.

Of course, there are a few other new features that are not covered here, e.g.,  the dynamic lock screen.

What do you think about Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+? Do you know the differences between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+?
