the note 10 vs. 1 + 7 Pro debate has been going on ever since the note 10 was
announced but today here at Mac's Tech are we putting this comparison to a stop
with the last final video that is going to be a real-world comparison we're not
gonna look at benchmarks respects or anything like that well we're gonna be
talking about actual things that matter day to day and things that will actually
make or break your purchasing decision let's start off with the most obvious
things starting with the price the 1 + 7 Pro is an amazing value this one coming
in at $700 compared to $1100 for the note 10 plus now that is a substantial
difference especially up front and that alone can make or break your decision on
which bone you're gonna get now the second one that is also very obvious is
going to be the aspirin now personally here at Mac's sec neither redeem or I
use the s-pen very often there are some cases like taking group photos where it
can come in very handy but as far as actually drawing or writing notes we
don't really have a big use case for that because we're always will on our
laptops but there's a lot of you guys out there that have commented and let us
know that you love the S Pen and you use it all the time so if you're somebody
that's gonna be benefiting from all the software features packed in the note 10
then the 1 + 7 Pro cannot compete with that in any way the next aspect of these
phones are the cut outs or lack of cut outs the note 10 has a small cut out but
for the most part once you get used to it you are not gonna notice it and it's
not gonna get in the way like the notch does on the iPhone with
the 1 + 7 Pro some people worry about the lack of a cut out resulting in this
motorized front facing camera kind of slowing them down or maybe breaking or
water getting in or being just maybe fragile none of that matters in the real
world because it is quick it is strong it's sealed and it unless you like to
take selfies in a second basically it's not gonna matter at all
so either way I don't think this makes a difference now let's talk about two
separate features one of which is on either one of these phones that both are
great and I wish both phones had this but it's gonna be up to you to choose
which one is more on the 1 plus 7 Pro I absolutely love
the physical mute and vibrate switch you can feel it even if it's in your pocket
you can click it up to get like a silent mode or a vibrate mode and no vibrates
so without having to look at it you can know in which mode it's in and actually
be able to change it now on the note 10 plus we do not have that you just have
your little volume rocker but one feature we do have is the always-on
display which I love and from the factory you cannot have that on the 1 +
7 Pro unless you do some aftermarket stuff so this is great when the phone is
sitting on your desk when it's wireless charging which we'll talk about in just
a second being able to see the time the date your battery percentage different
notifications that you may have missed is very very handy now let's talk about
something that is absolutely brilliant with a 1 + 7 Pro and that is the
software the software that isn't here is not sake Android it is slightly modified
but it is better than even the software that comes on the pixel it is fluid it
is fast it is just incredible I love the stuff they added to it I love
the menus the launcher it is really great the keyboard that comes with it
absolutely brilliant whereas on the note 10 the one UI is ok it's better than
before but it do still get some an occasional kind of glitches some UI
stutters some of the software stuff doesn't make sense I don't love the
icons so if you care about great software go for the 1 + 7 Pro if that's
your priority it is amazing speaking about brilliant software let me
tell you about our sponsor for this video brilliant brilliant helps you to
excel in math and science by actually solving problems and to learn concepts
by applying them instead of just listening to lectures which in the real
world works much better it's enjoyed by students professionals
in science enthusiasts all over the world they have a wide range of content
like daily problems in math science and computer science as well as interactive
courses from basic algebra to quantum computing now I personally dislike
learning math because many of my classes were boring but when I could actually
work on real-world tasks that required math
I excelled and had a blast if that's you as well definitely check out brilliant

tech viewers the first 200 people will also get 20% off of a premium annual
membership now one area where the 1 + 7 Pro absolutely destroys the no 10 that
is the fingerprint reader this thing is just amazing uses optical technology so
it does have to light up the portion that you're putting your thumb on or
whatever other finger using but it is just so consistent it is so fast so
snappy it's just actually enjoyable to use whereas the note 10 it is an
ultrasonic sensor so it doesn't need light the screen doesn't have to turn on
first and do it but even with the software updates it is still much slower
and much less consistent so at times it is a bit frustrating where you press
down your thumb and it takes you a few attempts to get in sometimes it works
right off the bat other times it will take you one or two tries extra to get
in and that is frustrating now this next one might get a little bit controversial
but I want to give you guys my honest opinion and my real-world experience on
the displays refresh rates 90 Hertz is definitely better but it does take more
battery and I would argue that in the real world once you get use of the
displays it doesn't matter that much you get used to the 90 Hertz and it is
snappy and fast but most phones are 60 Hertz and you get used to that and it is
perfectly fine it's only when you go from one device to the other or vice
versa where you really notice that difference and unlike competitive
gameplay going from 6 years to 9 hereit's isn't really gonna help you
like it would gone from 60 to 144 when you're gaming now let's talk about
charging the no 10 plus comes with a non-proprietary 25 watt charger that
actually charges the larger battery faster by about 20 minutes than the
included warp charger that is a 30 watt charger and is proprietary but along
with that if you're not using that special charger a lot of people have
issues even get 15 watts but instead get 7.5
watts instead of 25 that's because the 1.7 Pro is quite picky with which
adapter you use with which cable you use and also a different software that is on
the phone that sometimes gives you really slow charging speeds and on top
of that with the no 10 plus we have both 15 watt fast wireless charging and also
reverse wireless charging which for me personally makes a big difference since
I could set the phone on the charger during my work day and always have it
topped off and along with that comes battery life because of the 90 Hertz
screen and the smaller battery inside of the oneplus 7 pro the battery life is
quite a bit worse I get around one and a half hours of more a screen on time with
heavy use with the note 10 and that means even though we have super fast
charging we're wireless charging I don't really need it because it can actually
get me through a full day whereas with the oneplus 7 pro I do have to top off
just like with my iPhone 10 s max now let's jump right back to the displays
and talk about brightness where the note 10 plus gets up to 1200 nits in the Sun
if you have it in the auto mode which makes it much more viewable outside
compared to the 1 plus 7 Pro now both these screens are OLED they're made by
Samsung but this one is definitely a step above and if you like watching
videos playing back HDR looks fantastic on here especially in 1440p whereas the
1 + 7 Pro does not get as bright the highlights are quite a bit dimmer and
it's a little bit more flat even in the vivid mode so as far as watching videos
the note m+ is definitely a step above now next we can go into the speakers and
if you're watching videos the speakers are definitely better on the note 10
[Music] both of them are usable but in certain
situations in the real world if you're in a noisy environment say at a
restaurant if you're out somewhere with friends and you're wanting to share a
funny video or something cool that you found a lot of times with the 1 plus 7
throw it is just too quiet just like my iPhone it's actually quieter than the
iPhones whereas the note 10 plus it has the extra volume and that definitely
helps out in those certain situations now the last thing that I want to talk
about and this is a huge one that is cameras the note 10 plus is definitely a
huge step ahead in photo quality now the 1 plus 7 pro for the price is quite good
but it is inconsistent sometimes it's overexposed underexposed to warm to cool
all those kind of things you can get great photos but it is a lot more
limited and a lot more inconsistent whereas Samsung has made some fantastic
improvements with photo quality it's very consistent and they unlock certain
things like being able to do a panorama with the standard or the wide angle or
being able to use night mode with either the front-facing camera or any of the
three rear-facing cameras to get great quality nighttime photos whereas with
the oneplus you can only use that standard camera so there you guys have
it that is my real-world comparison between the oneplus 7 pro and the Galaxy
Note 10 and the note 10 definitely is a cut above the oneplus 7 pro if you can
afford it definitely that would be my suggestion but if you're somebody that
really just cares about having a large screen and really good software that's
quick that's snappy that doesn't slow down a
good fingerprint reader so that you can just get in and do your task quick you
don't care about things like having crazy battery life better photos better
speakers things like that the oneplus 7 pro is still an amazing value let me
