hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and right now I'm using the Galaxy Note
10.1 4k at 30 frames per second and I'm using the internal mic so I thought we'd
do a good verse bad video and see what's great about the note 10+ and what's
not so great so let's take a look now the first thing that's great is the
display the display is incredibly bright in fact we're in pretty bright sunlight
right now and we're only at about half brightness but if I turn this way up
you'll see it handles the sunlight with no problem so it works really well and
of course it's a Samsung display it's the best of the best at this point the
only thing that's lacking is a faster refresh rate but overall everything on
here just looks incredible so overall it's very nice touch responsiveness of
course is great and the edge to edge really makes it feel futuristic so it
feels great in the hand although it does poke you a little bit right here so
that's the first great thing is the display now the second thing that's
great is the s-pen so let's pop the s-pen out here and we have a bunch of
new options such as a our doodle we can draw in the environment we can also
create a new note just like you could screen right before but let's go home
here we'll go back to one of the notes I have now I wrote the word hello and if I
hit this little button here I can convert it to text so we'll hit convert
and it says hello it works pretty well with all sorts of different words and
things so I was pretty impressed with that I also like that you can take a
photo with it with the little button here you can also move the camera modes
here so if we go into this now with the camera I can take a photo just hitting
this button or I can hold it and move left to right to change the actual mode
so I can swipe left or right and change the mode so it's got some extra features
that are really nice I don't know how often you'll use those but it's pretty
interesting now speaking of the camera the camera is quite good you've got
three lenses you've got your normal lens with dual aperture you've got a
telephoto and you also have a wide-angle as well as a time-of-flight sensor and
the time-of-flight sensor can help you 3d map things and now the camera is
quite good it's very similar to what we have on the s10 plus with the addition
of that a flight sensor but let's take a look at
what it's capable of as well as the forward-facing camera that also can do
4k 30 so let's take a look at those now
here's the live focus video and it does okay we're in bright sunlight and this
is probably the best it's going to do so you'll see there's some fuzzing around
my hair here and it does an okay job but I prefer the look of a natural lens and
I'll just leave it on regular instead of live focus now the regular video is a
little bit closer when you're using the live focus video it actually backs out a
little bit maybe to get more of the surrounding so it can compute that live
focus now with video modes when you're in 1080 you can use super steady shot so
I have that turned on now and it uses the 4k sensor to actually calculate the
stabilization so you can only do it in 1080p but that's fine for most people
now if you don't have stabilization on or the ultra stable steady shop you get
4k video and it is still stabilized but it's not as good as the super steady
shot so it looks pretty good but you do get 4k up to 60 frames per second now
the ultra wide video is not stabilized but because it's so wide you really
don't need that stabilizer if you zoom in a little bit the stabilizer is on and
then you can zoom in again and you also get microphone zooms so over in those
trees over there there's a bunch of birds making noise let me zoom and see
if it's just pumping up the gain or you can actually get more of a directional
mic
and that was 10x zoom it was also digital zoom so it didn't look very good
but hopefully that gives you an idea of what the mic can do the next positive is
the note 10 plus always feels fast it never seems to slow down I haven't had
it lag yet I've had no issues with anything and that's one nice thing about
having all of this RAM and the processor that it does it's just super fast all of
the time now the next great thing that's improved
that you may not hear a lot about is the haptic feedback the vibration motor
feels much more similar to what we have in an iPhone with the taptic engine so
if I go back into notes here and then we just type I'm using the Google keyboard
as opposed to the Samsung one it's just what I prefer but if I type hi how are
you today you can feel that very precisely it's very different and
there's haptic feedback all over the place throughout the OS so it's really
nice to see that now the next great thing is the battery life now for some
people the battery life is not as good as other notes but for me I've actually
had incredible battery life with it and I've seen some people say with regular
usage they get up to nine hours I've actually just had this off because I've
been trying different phones and things like that but if we go into battery here
let me find it you'll see battery usage it says two days in one hour I would
legitimately say seven hours is pretty average at least for using this full
time and that's really impressive it's got a very large battery and with that
large battery comes the next positive thing the actual charging speed of this
battery now I use the built-in charger I did try a faster charger such as a
MacBook which actually can handle much higher wattage but you have to use the
specific 45 watt charge adapter to get the true fast charging with this device
so with normal charging you're going to get about almost a hundred percent
charge I went from 15 percent to 100 percent in
one our and 27 minutes so it wasn't too bad
considering the size of this particular battery it charged it up pretty quickly
now the next two things are sort of positives but also could be a negative
and that is Samsung decks and also its ability to sync with the windows decks
is okay as you can see here it works fine but it feels very similar to using
a virtual machine if you've ever done that there's a little bit of lag it's
sort of like it's rebroadcasting itself wirelessly and there's a little bit of
input lag when you're trying to do different tasks so it's not great the
same is true when it syncs with Windows now the great thing about this is you
can just type a text message it works very similar to the messages website if
you have an Android phone or it also works similar to iMessage so it's great
for messaging however when it comes to using it for anything else such as
browsing the phone which is really nice that you can do it it's just very laggy
so it does work but it's not a hundred percent what you would expect as far as
the input is concerned now the first negative thing is the lack of a
headphone jack the lack of a headphone jack is something that I never thought
we'd see from Samsung especially in a flagship device so for me that's a
pretty big negative but the s-pen is something I don't use a whole lot so I
would just go with the s10 plus personally it has everything I want
including the headphone jack and since I wouldn't really use the s-pen that's the
way to go however if you don't mind the lack of a headphone jack and you want
the benefits of the note 10 plus then of course go with the note 10 plus now
another bad thing about the phone is the price the price is obviously a premium
phone now when you compare this the things from Apple it's it's actually a
pretty good value but this phone is not for everyone because of that $1000 plus
price tag so just keep that in mind if you're looking for a phone you may want
to wait for deals as they depreciate very quickly and even Ki Mobile has a
buy one get one free with new lines and things so there are some great deals on
this but I might wait a few months before you purchase one just to get the
price down a little bit another bad thing is the fingerprint sensor and
while it does work it's hard to know exactly where it is it's definitely
better than the s10 plus but sometimes it's a little bit laggy
other times you can put your finger on it fast it doesn't recognize it will say
no match press it harder or it just sometimes doesn't work well I've found
that it doesn't matter if your fingers are wet or dry it really doesn't make a
difference sometimes it works well other times it doesn't
I would prefer one on the back so I've tried it all different ways it works
better than the s10 plus like I said but it's still not as good as the one they
used to have on the back of the phones now the next bad thing is the speakers
now they're not bad they do go fairly loud and the speaker you can see here's
one on the bottom and then there's one on the top that actually comes out of
the very top it says little channel right there and the speaker's sound okay
they're not amazing but they sound good but when you compare them to something
such as an iPhone 10s Macs they don't sound as good as that but I would say
they do sound better than something like a one plus seven pro for example so it
just depends what you're looking at I think most people will be pretty happy
with the speaker's though and honestly I only have one more negative and that has
to do with privacy Samsung's privacy policy is not my favorite you should
look at it yourself I'll link it as I did with my s10 plus review but you also
can't remove Facebook for some reason this was purchased directly from Samsung
maybe with different carriers you can but you can go into the app info and
disable it but you cannot remove it without rooting the phone so that's
something that I think is very negative and speaks negatively towards samsung's
privacy policy especially if you don't want to use Facebook so that may be a
huge negative for you and that's really it for this this note 10 plus I think
it's a great phone if you like the Samsung premium phones wireless charging
you've got everything basically except for that headphone jack and
that's really it but let me know what you think about it in the comments below
I do think it's a good phone like I said and I would love to hear what you have
