Samsung Galaxy Note10 Hands on: Is the screen the biggest regret?
Samsung Galaxy Note10 Hands on: Is the screen the biggest regret?

Samsung Galaxy Note10, as the flagship product of Samsung Note series this year, seems to be a bit less "flagship". The biggest controversy is the 1080P screen. So, besides the screen, is it worthy of the title of flagship in other aspects? Let's get started quickly.


appearance

The first impression of the appearance of Note 10 is much more square. Compared with the previous generation of Note 9, it is indeed more square and has more sense of the Note series. However, this square design brings about a problem of hand feel. The hand feel of Note 10 is really love hate. Love is because the 168g body weight and 7.9mm body thickness are really thin and I can't believe it, This is the Note series.


I have to admire that the three dimensions and weight control of Samsung's flagship series in recent generations are really good; What I hate is that the R corner is really too square, so that when I hold it, I feel uncomfortable when I hold it against the palm of my hand. But when I think about it carefully, it's not a big problem. After all, there is nothing that can't be solved by one mobile phone case. If there are some, I will replace it with another.


The design of the back is a big change this time. The design of Samsung's former center camera has been changed to the upper left corner, which also makes the appearance of this place seem familiar. This Note 10 national tour has three colors: Monet color, McQueen black, and Mise white. We have Mise white in our hands, which looks a little like ceramic white. It is a pure color match.


All the physical keys of the Note 10 series are on the left side of the fuselage this time, which may be a little unfamiliar to you when you first get started, and the independent Bixby key has also been cancelled. Now you can call out Bixby by long pressing the power key, and you need to press and hold the power key and volume down key at the same time when you shut down, or select the shutdown button on the shortcut panel. Of course, if you don't need Bixby, You can also set the power key to long press the call out shutdown menu. The power key can be customized by double clicking.


Light up the screen, and the proportion of this screen is really "Awesome". The width of the border on both sides and forehead is very narrow, creating a really great visual effect. The screen of Note 10 is a 6.3 inch 1080P "hole digging screen", and the front camera is designed in the center. As for whether the hole looks good in the center or on both sides, different people have different opinions.


The most controversial screen of Note 10 is the 1080P resolution. In my impression, the Samsung Note series began to use 2K resolution in Note 4, and the screen of Note series has always been a benchmark. This year, the 1080P screen of Note 10 was used back, which also shocked the author. I didn't expect to be able to reverse, This practice of Samsung is really unthinkable. As for the reason, we will not go into it.


Now that we have used it, let's see how this screen performs. First, the problem of fineness is subjective. If you used a 1080P screen before, it may be OK to look at the screen of Note 10, but if you used a 2K resolution screen before, it will certainly feel that the fineness is average when you look at the screen of Note 10, It can only be said that "no comparison, no harm".


Looking at the measured data, Note 10 has two color modes, bright and natural.

Distinct pattern

Color temperature in bright mode: 7018K


Sharp mode sRGB color gamut: 144.1%


Sharp mode Color accuracy: average Δ E 4.3, max Δ E 8.3



Natural mode

Natural mode color temperature: 6606K


Natural mode sRGB color gamut: 97.8%


Natural mode color accuracy: average Δ E 2.3, max Δ E 6


In daily use, this screen is certainly enough, and the quality of 1080P screen is excellent, but it is still a very good 1080P screen. It can only be said that it is a pity that it cannot reach 2K resolution.

Now let's see the live sample.

experience


Linear motor

The linear motors of the Note 10 series have been upgraded to X-axis linear motors. Both experience and texture have been greatly improved. The vibration force has also been much stronger, but the performance is still slightly weaker than that of the Plus 7 Pro, Reno 10x zoom version and Meizu 16s. However, since we only have Note 10, we are not clear about the performance of Note 10+.


Double vocalization

If the sound is not turned on, the author mistakenly thinks that Note10 is a single speaker, but the dual speakers will still be present. This time, the location design of the speakers is also quite interesting. At the earpiece location, the speaker location is not found at all. Only light can barely see a tiny gap. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. Here is a speaker, It is also a earpiece. I thought this design would affect the effect of the speakers, but I can rest assured that the performance of the dual speakers is still "strong!", supporting Dolby panoramic sound. I don't know whether it is because the body is too thin. When the volume is turned up, the resonance of the back is obvious.


Ultrasonic fingerprint

The ultrasonic fingerprint that was complained about on the S10 series before has also been greatly improved on the Note10 series. The most obvious thing is that the unlocking speed has become faster, and the wake-up system time has also become faster. When the screen is off, the fingerprint identification area can also be set to always light up. The experience has been very good. If you can add a vibration feedback after unlocking later, I believe the experience will be better.


S Pen

As the soul of the Note series - S Pen, the new gesture operation function can switch the front and rear cameras, zoom, control music playback and video playback (software adaptation is required). The summary is that it seems a very cool function, but it is actually a bit silly, because holding a pen to compare in the air is a bit funny, but it is better than nothing, Maybe it can be used at some time;


But the essence of S Pen is still very good. The writing experience is very good. All kinds of practical small functions are available, and there is also a 10 hour standby life. It is worth mentioning that the video editing function of Samsung album is very powerful. It is very convenient to edit some small videos with S Pen; In short, people who like this pen will love it.


other

In terms of performance, it is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, 8GB operating memory, 256GB body storage, and UFS 3.0; The battery capacity is 3500mAh, which supports 25W fast charging, 12W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The body supports IP68 level dustproof and waterproof. Samsung DEX has also been upgraded. In the past, you need a C To C data cable to connect to your computer. Now, you can also use a C To A data cable to connect to your computer.


summary

Admittedly, Note 10 is the flagship level in all aspects except the screen resolution of 1080P, but the price of 6599 yuan seems to be a little unable to support this configuration. After all, there are too many choices at this price. The author believes that if you like the Note series and the S Pen very much, it is strongly recommended to go directly to Note 10+and achieve the goal in one step. If you have no demand for S Pen, You don't need to buy Note series. Why not buy Samsung S series? The above is the basic content of Note 10. If you have any questions about Note 10, please leave a message.
