Samsung's Galaxy Note line has always included for the biggest and best the company has to offer. Notes are huge, and that gives you lots of room to fit tons of high-end specs and hardware features. The new Note 10 and larger Note 10+ follow the trend — but in a surprising move, have one shortcoming in that they lack a headphone jack.
There are necessary cuts made in the smaller Note 10, dropping down the battery, reducing the max charging speed and removing the microSD card slot to fit in the compact body. But aside from a few small changes, you're getting the same specs and hardware features with whichever one you choose. Here's everything inside the Note 10 and Note 10+.
