Galaxy Note 9 vs Galaxy Note 10 vs Note 10 Plus specs comparison

Phone

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

With the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, Samsung is — for the very first time — giving consumers two Note flagship models to choose from. The Galaxy Note 9 is a pretty solid and feature-rich Note flagship that was always going to be hard to surpass, but that's where the two Note 10 models come into picture. The regular Note 10 may not offer enough to warrant an upgrade, but the Note 10+ has a few solid attractions, like the 6.8-inch display, 12GB of RAM, four rear cameras, and a larger battery with faster wired and wireless charging.

The S Pen has picked up a new trick: It now has gesture control thanks to the sensors built inside, and you get this feature on both the Note 10 and Note 10+. As usual, we'll only be able to tell you which of these phones are worth putting your money on if you are looking to leave the Galaxy Note 9 behind, but if you're wondering how these devices compare on paper, we have a nice little specs table for you to check out below.

For more information on the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, check out our devices section. Also see our initial impressions of the two phones in our hands-on article and tell us if you're pondering an upgrade to either of these new flagships from your Galaxy Note 9 down in the comments!
