so with the note 20 round the corner some of you may be thinking is this a
good time to buy a note 10 and save myself some money well hopefully this
video will help you make that all-important decision so this is the
256 gigabytes / black version have you hunted more space you can go for the 512
gigabyte version however the plus does come with a micro SD card slot leaving
plenty of room for a one terabyte expansion to safely store all your..
so with that in mind the 512 gigabyte version may not be worth the extra
pennies since you can just expand the memory with a microSD card display wise
we're looking at a massive six point eight inch dynamic AMOLED display now
this is hands-down one of the best looking phone displays I've come across
with a thirteen forty by 1440p resolution and HDR 10 support movies and
photos look absolutely breathtaking on this device quick tip for you if you have
just bought one or are planning to then out of the box the screen will not be
set to its maximum resolution I assume this is done to aid the battery
life but this can easily be changed by quickly swiping down from the top into
settings display followed by a screen resolution and there you'll see the
options for HD Full HD and WQHD so other key specs worth mentioning is the
processor and that massive 12 gigabytes of RAM for flexibility when multi tasking
now if you're in the US it will come with the Snapdragon 805 and in other
countries it will come with Samsung's own Exynos 980 5 both are great
processors the main difference being the slightly
newer Exynos processor is an optical processor and snapdragon is a quad core
the Exynos cause are clocked at a slightly lower speed than you
dragon but there's more than so bottom line is they both fit of a great
performance and I certainly have no complaints here so moving on to the
camera specs which might be what you're all here for so one of my favorite
features of this phone is the camera I use this all the time and even shoot my
youtube videos with it it's taken some stunning photos especially with the
wide-angle lens so on the back we have a 16 megapixel ultra wide a 12 megapixel
wide-angle and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens along with a depth sensor for more
convincing blur effects then over on the front there we have the punch hole which
is actually home to the 10 megapixel front camera on top of all that there is
a whole host of camera features such as live focus and night mode to help with
low-light situations as much as I love the note 10 plus cameras I do have a few
issues mainly being that I feel like when you take a photo it actually over
saturates the images slightly and also find the live focus a little bit
gimmicky and a little bit fake looking but certainly not a deal-breaker just
braving minor complaints they're taking pictures with the note n is a delight
but so is recording video it can actually shoot up to 4k sixtieth yes
with a rear camera allowing you to make professional-looking videos with just
your mobile phone however it is worth noting that you can only make use for
the super study feature when shoot and get 1080p which is a little annoying but
it's again it's not a deal-breaker you could always get them about gimble for
shooting steady 4k footage I guess you don't really want to spend extra money
when you've just bought out about a thousand pounds for this phone but if
you were looking for a gimbal I would recommend the DJI Osmo for three that's
the one I use on top of this it is worth giving the built-in video editor a
shout-out you can do basic things like trimming down your videos with ease
especially when using the s-pen even with 4k footage but an even better
option for you than the built-in video editor would be to go and grab a Dobie
brush which is an exclusive piece of software to Samsung devices
offers a feature-rich mobile video editor which I have actually used quite
a few times so if you are worried about all these great features draining the
battery in just a few hours don't be at the time of the release the note
template actually had the largest battery ever put in a galaxy phone it's
home to a 4300 milliamp battery which should get you between 10 to 12 hours of
battery life with medium to heavy usage for example I'm personally sat on a
train for almost two and a half hours and every single day and that whole time
I'm usually watching movies playing games and on top of that I have my
wireless earphones connected and then I'm listening to music for the 45-minute
walk in each end when I get into London and I'm happy to say always have some
battery left over at the end of the day now just a quick note before we move off
this subject it can help to reduce the screen resolution down to at least 4 HD
as watching movies at maximum resolution for long periods will drain the battery
life faster have you turn on the battery saver mode the phone will do that for
you though charging wise of course comes with
wireless charging and a cool powerful sharing feature which I can't say I
actually use maybe just used it and once and I know I love other people said they
better use it but it could get you out of a sticky situation one day otherwise
a 25 watt charger will get your phone to around 60 percent battery image yet just
less than half an hour which is quite impressive but do find that I never
actually waiting for this phone to charge I just plug it in for a couple of
minutes when inconvenient and that is it I never have to think about charging the
phone which is really in for a phone with this many features so on to
probably one of the main features of the phone the s-pen now new experience will
differ depending on what you do for a living a lot of people say that they
find themselves not touching it I personally have found it useful for
assigning documents as well as this I also used for taking quick notes and
occasionally controlling the camera it does have a really nice feature that
will convert handwritten notes into text or you wish again I found quite handy
quickly jotting down a phone number or something there are also gesture
controls you can do with the s-pen but I still find them a little bit gimmicky
and they really get much use out of that feature you might find some use for it
though and the feature worth mentioning is each Samsung Dex now this is
something that I might actually do a separate video on so let me know in the
comments if you'd like to see that essentially what it does it turns your
phone into a mini computer you can have it up to a PC using a single USB cable
or even a monitor I believe using a type C to HDMI cable which are not included
in the box there you can use your phone as if it were a computer you can use
Google Documents and stuff like that you can navigate around your gallery and
photos etc just with a bit more ease one thing I like to use this for is just
simply replying to messages when I'm working I can pretty much have my phone
up on my computer screen and not actually touch my phone for hours which
may actually help with the productivity certainly helps with mine lastly I do
want to mention the quick major feature this is a brilliant tool if you want to
measure something like a sofa or something you know just something you
find out when you're when you're shopping and you don't have a tape
measure at hand it's super easy to use you can just set the objects you want in
the frame click the start and end points and phone give you an accurate measuring
punch screen I have tested this a few times and I have to say about 90 percent
of the time it's ban long it tends to struggle most if you're measuring
something like like a cluttered desk most time it's brilliant and I think
overall as in bringing a feature to have so that was the Galaxy Note 10.1 the
fingerprint scanner now it does have a ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
underneath the screen it's fairly accurate I have to say I kind of missed
the from the print scanner that I had on my
Google pixel - but this one does the job just fine on top of this it does of
course have your face unlock and pin codes so you've got a variety of choices
there so the verdict should you buy a Galaxy Note m+ in 2020 well it's a tough
one a really really tough one I honestly love the phone and I could not recommend
it enough I think I've had this for around about nine months now and it just
does everything the cameras great all that RAM for gaming and stuff of that is
brilliant I honestly couldn't fault it but you've got phones like the s20 ultra
and then soon the no 20 and the note 20 ultra are gonna be released possibly
within the next couple of months initially I don't think much is gonna
change but I think the camera quality is gonna take a massive step up so that
might win over some of the more creative people out there but if you are on a
budget honestly just go for the no 10 this phone I believe is quite future
proof it's gonna last you a good 3 to 4 years and minimum this thing still feels
like new it hasn't got choppy hasn't got slow it is absolutely brilliant so see
what the prices are doing I'm pretty sure I saw one for around 700 pounds of
the day which is amazing and considering I bought this for about a thousand when
it came out they just have a shop around keep an eye on the prices I would
imagine than you know 20 is gonna be around about a thousand pounds or
possibly more if it does happen to be less which I'm doubtful then maybe
consider that if it's around the 900 mark but I'm pretty sure it's still
gonna be a thousand pounds so yeah that pretty much wraps it up for the no 10
plus review let me know down in the comments what sort of phones you're
looking at at the moment and whether or not you would consider buying one of
these in 2020 now the reason I did this video was because my should you buy a
galaxy watching 20 to 20 video seemed to do really well so I assumed other people
would be do thinking the same for phones so at
the time of recording this video we're very close to 400 subscribers so thank
you very much for that as promised that will be a giveaway when I reach the 500
mark so stay tuned for that and if you could help me out by subscribing that
would be amazing still about 97% of my audience are not subscribed so if you do
find the video helpful please do hit that subscribe button but for now thanks
for watching and I'll see in the next one
