Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus are the best Notes yet

Just a heads up, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the sale. It’s one of the ways we keep the lights on here. Click here for more.

Samsung finally took the covers off of the Note 10 and the larger Note 10 Plus today at its Unpacked event.

It’s thinner than any prior Note, but the screen size is still bigger thanks to Samsung’s curves. The best part for me? The S Pen can draw in thin air, with a nifty AR Doodle feature.

Samsung just showed off the Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus that we’ve already seen a thousand times

Okay, hyperbole aside, we really have seen them that many times. Mobile phone leakers have been hard at work since last year, finding out all kinds of snippets of information about the Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus. That’s how we knew about the shape, the design, and (RIP) the lack of a headphone jack.

• The Note 10 has a 6.3-inch screen, the Note 10 Plus has a 6.8-inch screen. Both have Samsung’s trademark edge-to-edge OLED panels
