Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Review: The Compact S Pen Experience

## Design and Build: Note Features, Smaller Package  The Galaxy Note 10 was the smaller sibling of the Note 10+, offering the same S Pen experience in a more manageable 6.3-inch body. It shared the same centred hole-punch design and the iconic Aura Glow colour. At 168g, it was one of the lightest Note phones ever made. The USB-C-only port (no headphone jack) was controversial, but it made room for the larger battery. ## Key Features Under the Hood The Note 10 retained the core Note experience while making some compromises compared to the Plus model. Here is a quick look at the standout specs: - **Display:** 6.3-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED, HDR10+. - **S Pen:** Bluetooth-enabled with Air Actions. - **Camera:** 12MP main + 16MP ultra-wide + 12MP telephoto (2x). No ToF sensor. - **Battery:** 3,500mAh with 25W charging. - **Processor:** Snapdragon 855 / Exynos 9825. ## The Verdict The Note 10 in 2026 is an affordable entry into the Note ecosystem. The S Pen and DeX remain unique features, but the processor is dated. Best suited as a secondary productivity device or a first smartphone with stylus support.
