- What's up guys?
SuperSaf here and we've got it,
we've got the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ unboxing.
One of the first in the world,
so a thumbs up for that would be appreciated.

(bell dings) - Let's get straight to it.
So inside the box, as well as the device,
you have some paperwork, a SIM card tool,
a 25 watt super fast charger,
which can charge the Note 10+ from zero to 100%
in just an hour.
Now the Note 10+ does support up to 45 watt charging,
but that charger is sold separately.
You then have a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable.
I'm assuming it's USB-C on both sides
to enable the faster charging.
There's a USB Type-A two USB Type-C adapter
which you can use to connect an older device
directly to the Note 10+ to transfer files and settings.
There are a couple of spare S Pen tips
and a tool to remove the tips from the S Pen.
And finally you have some USB Type-C AKG earphones.
And this, if you don't know already,
is because the Note 10+ does not have a 3.5mm jack.
Let's get to the device and take off the back plastic.
I have the Aura Glow color here,
which is the flagship color,
there's other colors available as well,
but this is the one that really stands out
and it does look pretty dope.
Depending on the angle that the light hits it
you get a range of different colors,
making it the Note 10+ pretty unique,
but it's definitely a fingerprint magnet.
We've got a Samsung's signature build and design,
so a metal frame with curved symmetrical glass panels
on both the front and back.
The the Note 10+ is IP68 water and dust resistant.
It looks and feels premium for sure,
but it's definitely a large device
and less comfortable to hold compared to something
like the S10+, which has more curved edges.
Having a look at the front, first thing you notice
that we do have a pre-applied screen protector,
which is nice as getting the screen protector
on a curved display is not easy, trust me.
Now this display is a 6.8 inch dynamic AMOLED display
with the very small bezels and a center punch out
for the front-facing camera,
which Samsung call the Infinity-O design.
I personally don't mind this punch out,
it's actually smaller than we had on the Galaxy S10's
and it also prevents the phone from having moving parts
like a pop-up camera,
which would make the phone less durable.
What do you think of this center punch out?
Definitely let me know in the comments below.
Now the display is very good, one of the best out there,
it has a quad HD plus resolution,
which makes it very sharp.
Its HDR10+ certified so the colors really do pop
and it's one of the brightest displays in the market,
but it isn't in 90 hertz displayed
that I know a lot of people were hoping for.
Now the Note series normally has the best display
on any smartphone, but this year we do have
some solid competition from the likes of OnePlus.
Taking a closer look at the punch out,
we do have a 10 megapixel selfie camera
with an F2.2 aperture and auto-focus.
And although we don't have a secondary depth sensor,
this camera does support Live focus video.
This is just a quick sample of the Live focus video
from the front-facing camera.
Looks pretty dope to me, let me know what you guys think.
Taking a look around back, we have a quad camera this time.
There's a primary 12 megapixel camera
with a variable aperture, F1.5 and F2.4.
There's a 16 megapixel ultra-wide camera
with an F2.2 aperture.
This has a 123 degree angle of view
and it looks like it's the same as what we've got
on the S10+, which is definitely my favorite
ultra-wide camera on a smartphone right now.
There's a 12 megapixel telephoto camera
with a F2.1 aperture.
And finally there's a depth vision camera.
This depth camera primarily seems to be for AR capabilities.
So we have a feature called AR Doodle for example,
which will let you doodle in 3D space and walk around it.
It does seem to work pretty well, but I'm really not sure
how much I'd use it.
The rear camera also supports a Live focus video
and we have a few new features like Zoom-In Mic,
which will isolate the sound more to where you zooming into.
As well as improved Super steady,
which records very stable footage at 1080p.
Now of course we're gonna have to do some SuperSaf style
camera comparisons of the Note 10+
versus the other competition.
Definitely let me know in the comments below
which camera comparison you'd like to see first.
Internally the Note 10+ is powered by
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset
or the Exynos 9825, depending your region.
So on the Exynos side of things we do have an improvement
compared to the S10+.
This is the new 7 nanometer, 9825.
But it would have been nice to have had
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+,
just to separate the Note from at the S10 plus
a little bit more.
Now regardless, this thing is a powerhouse,
with 12 gigabytes of RAM and either 256 or 512 gigabytes
of UFS 3.0 storage, which is much faster
compared to UFS 2.1, which we had previously.
So overall, no doubt, this is gonna be one of the fastest
and most powerful smartphones out there.
Taking a look around, up top, we have a sim card tray,
which has space a for a micro SD card.
So you can expand the storage on the Note 10+,
on top of the already large base versions which we have.
There's actually nothing on the right-hand side
and on the left-hand side there's a volume rocker
and a power button.
So this is traditionally where we've had
the dedicated Bixby button,
but Samsung have now integrated this
within the power button.
So you can still launch Bixby
by pressing and holding the power button,
but the big news is that you can remap this altogether
in the settings.
This up until now hasn't been fully possible,
so it's definitely nice to have this flexibility.
Moving on to the bottom, we have one of the two
stereo speakers, the other one is in the earpiece.
There's a USB Type-C port and no 3.5mm jack.
Samsung have said this is to allow more space
for the battery which is now pretty large at 4300 mAh,
but also for some more space for the S Pen.
Samsung had been one of the only manufacturers
still holding on to the 3.5mm jack,
but I think it's finally time to say goodbye.
Now let's take a look at the S Pen,
this is really what makes the Note series unique
and this year we do have some more new features.
So, for example, we've got improved algorithms
for handwriting recognition,
so you can convert your handwriting into actual text.
And you can also search your handwritten notes,
which is pretty cool.
We also have air gestures now which give you more control
over your phone wirelessly.
So if you're in the camera app you can do things like
wave up and down to switch between
the front and rear facing cameras,
left to right to switch between camera modes
and a circular motion to zoom.
Personally speaking I'm not sure how often
I'll be using these features,
but Samsung is opening up the SDK for app developers
to come up with more uses for this.
For the software we do have Android Pie with the One UI skin
and I have to say, One UI has become
one of my favorite skins on Android.
It's clean, it's simple, it's useful.
And we also have a few new features for the Note 10+ like
screen recording with a bubble for the front-facing camera.
This may be useful for gaming videos for instance.
There's also link to Windows and updated DeX,
making it even easier than before
to connect and control your device on a big screen.
There's an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
which sits within the display,
but it is slightly higher compared to the S10+,
no big deal really.
And we also have faster wireless charging then before.
So we've got up to 15 watts,
as well as wireless power share,
which will let you use your Note 10
to charge other devices and accessories.
Finally touching on pricing the Note 10+
does start at 1000 pounds or $1,100,
that's for the 256GB model.
And there is also a 5G model available,
which will go up to 1,200 pounds or $1,300
with 512 gigabytes of storage.
And it's gonna be releasing on the 23rd of August,
you can pre-order it now.
So there we have it guys,
that is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ unboxing
and detailed first look.
Definitely let me know what you guys think of this
and what are the content you'd like to see with this
in the comments below.
In terms of my impressions I have always been a Note fan,
as a lot of you guys already know.
Two things that, I think,
I would have liked to have seen on this.
Firstly, a 90 hertz display.
The Note series is usually like the benchmark
of the best of the best, the powerhouse.
And also the Snapdragon 855+ would have been nice
on here as well.
But apart from that it still does look like
a promising device.
I'll be spending lots more time with it
and of course it's gonna be lots more content
with this as well.
If you wanna see all of that first, as mentioned earlier,
make sure you subscribe and hit that bell icon
I hope you enjoy this video (bell dings)
and found it useful.
If you did, then do hit that thumbs up button for me.
Thanks watching, this is Saf on SupeSaf TV
