The evolution of smartphones has evolved from the past to the present, centering on a screen.

8 years ago, Samsung set off a wave of mobile phone screens with a Galaxy Note that was so big and shocking. The precise control and advance layout of the “big screen mobile phone” also made Samsung successfully sit on the top spot of global smartphone manufacturers.

But now, in this moment, all the screens are full screen phones, “big screen” is no longer unique to the Note series. Of course, people without me are ideal, but in the case of everyone, the Note series also needs to be more convincing than the “big screen”, so that consumers are willing to pay for it.

It can be the best industrial design, it can be a flagship configuration combination, and of course, the iconic stylus.

What we care about is, on this Galaxy Note10, can Samsung bring some new perspectives and new development ideas to the smart phone industry?

Search for the source, we still start from the screen.

The most amazing sense of Note10 comes from this screen

It’s not difficult to give Amway Samsung Note10 to others. It’s just a long time since the long march of the Wanli Long March.

The illuminated screen area is infinitely close to the physical ruler you hold in your handInch.

This can almost be described as stunning.

Since Samsung began using the boring screen design on the flagship machine this year, the upper and lower ends of the S10 were further narrowed and a larger screen was inserted into the same body size.

In the generation of Note10, the top black edge is completely the same width as the side borders, and the bottom chin has reached the same level as the iPhone Xs Max border, and the front look is excellent.

In addition to the width of the border, Note10’s front camera position is also changed to the center from the upper right corner of S10. I took a rough measurement with a ruler and found that the camera is about 4mm in diameter, while the diameter of the S10 is about 5mm.

The smaller opening means that you will feel a lot less on this black dot and focus more on this 6.3-inch screen.

Like the S10, Note10’s weight control is also excellent. The whole machine is only 168g, even the 6.8-inch version of the Note 10+ is only 196g.

With the 7.9mm body thickness, you can intuitively feel how slim and thin it is when compared to many Android flagships that use a lifting structure.

As for the difference in craftsmanship with S10, it is reflected in the processing of corners and colors.

In fact, it is also a curved screen. The curvature of Note10 and S10 is not much different, but Note10 uses a right-angle design, and the edge can be further extended to the middle frame area, and the visual impact will be stronger.

This is also the core of Samsung’s two product lines to distinguish between S and Note. They are not just simple small size and large size. You see the sleek in the former, and the most important design feature of the latter is Founder. Tough and angular.

In addition, the curvature of the Samsung curved screen has always been small, which means that the screen will bend more. Contrast is also the addition of a curved screen. 7 Pro You will find that Note10 can make the transition between the screen and the middle frame more rounded, making the body look more compact and better hide the left and right black edges.

As for the color, compared to the S10, there are some pearls that reflect the colorful “white”, NThe white color of ote10 is pure white, which is very suitable for those who like solid color, and even if it is fingerprinted, it is not easy to see.

However, the design of Samsung Note10 is not without flaws. After using it for a few days, I feel puzzled about two of the designs.

One is the position of the lock screen button. Before the S10 put the button too close, making the thumb and it as difficult to touch through the sky.

This time Note10 directly cancels the separate Bixby key, but puts the lock screen key below the left volume key. If you are used to the left hand, then unlocking may be easier, but for users who are used to unlocking the right button, it is really not suitable.

The other is the arrangement of the three shots on the back. If you let me make a choice, I would prefer the horizontal camera arrangement of Note 9 or S10.

This is not to say that there are structural shortcomings in the vertical three shots in the upper left corner. However, the vertical holes of the black holes are on the corner of the white wide back panel. It is easy to make some kind of look. It seems to have a similar feeling.

“disappeared” front handset, 3.5mm headphone jack and third microphone

Compared with Samsung S10, this Note10 has 3 design changes.

The most obvious point is that Samsung has changed its strategy of keeping the 3.5mm headphone jack in the flagship machine for the past few years. At the bottom of the Note10, you will only see the microphone, USB-C interface, speaker and S-Pen. Slot.

Samsung’s design choices are also considered by the industry to be a complete fall from the traditional headset interface in the Android camp. After all, in terms of Samsung’s position and volume in the Android mobile phone market, changes at the interface level often represent judgments on market trends.

Samsung gave his answer to the question “Why to cancel the 3.5mm headphone jack.”

One, according to Samsung’s own research data shows that , most of its users in the Galaxy S and Note series have tended to use Bluetooth headsets to listen to music, which is about 70%.

Second It is related to internal structural adjustment. Samsung said that after removing the earphone hole, the Note10 body can be inserted into a larger battery – the actual increase is about 100 mA, which is not significant but better than nothing.

The point is that Samsung also emphasized the effect of canceling the earphone hole on the tactile feedback, because the earphone hole is also equivalent to a part of the fuselage cavity, which is equivalent to changing the shock feedback of the mobile phone by adjusting the sealing structure.

I actually found out after the hand, compared with the S10, the Note10 has a significantly lower amplitude at the same vibration intensity, and the subjective feeling is “softer”.

Intuitive point metaphor, if S10 is the crisp sound of the finger joint knocking on the table, then Note10 is like the soft sound of the fingertip falling on the piano black key, and this kind of feedback is just right, just right, neither Soft and weak seems to fall into the black hole, and it is not a slap in the face.

So, if you are using Note10, I would quite recommend opening the button for tactile feedback.

In addition, if you pay attention to the top area of ​​Note10, you will find that it lacks a common module.

Where did the handset go?

At first, I thought that Samsung used a screen sound technology similar to vivo NEX and Huawei P30 Pro on Note10, But Samsung clearly pointed out in the official manual that Note10 has three speakers: one at the bottom, one at the top, and one at the top. At the top of the front camera, which is the border portion.

Even if it is a “hidden earpiece” design, such as the S10, you can still find the specific location by the naked eye, but Note10 is not so much a handset as it is a gap.

I specially found a small piece of paper and swept the top border with the corners, only to feel a hollow slot in the middle, which is undoubtedly prepared for the speaker and the earpiece, and the seams on the left and right sides are still very close. .

Although the earpiece is very concealed, it does not affect the appearance of the Note10. Its volume is amazing, and the screen and the upper part of the body can feel continuous and slight vibration.

Not only that, but the location of the Note10’s microphone is also very interesting. In addition to the small round holes at the top and bottom, this phone has a third microphone for improving the quality of video recording.

It is hidden on the edge of the slightly convex camera module, which is also an undetectable slit.

How is the experience with that stylus?

As early as the PDA era, the stylus was a portable tool for business people. But to say that in the field of smart phones and carry it all the way, only the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note series stands out.

With the update, S Pen is no longer a stylus that simply writes and draws. It also has a built-in Bluetooth chip, you can directly unlock the phone through the pen button, or act as a camera shutter button; the built-in battery allows the S Pen to enjoy up to 10 hours of battery life in separation from the fuselage.

The S Pen on the Samsung Note series was recognized because it did its best in “writing”. For example, there is almost zero delay between the stroke and the screen of the mobile phone, so that the idea of ​​writing can be interrupted without interruption, and the nib has better resilience than Apple Apple Pencil.

Another example is the anti-missing design. When you pull out the S Pen, even if the palm is pressed on the screen, it will not affect the writing.

At the same time, Apple Pencil relies more on third-party applications to function differently. Note’s built-in memo can be used with pens and pens, and it is powerful enough in terms of functionality.

Around the core function of recording, S Pen can also be used for convenient operations such as screenshots, GIF, translation, etc., to meet the workflow and daily needs of more people.

As for the new S Pen gestures, such as waving the pen in the air, you can achieve the effect of photo switching. It feels like a feature that is more than practical. It is often used when using the stylus. It’s hard to remember their existence.

The screen look of 1080p is not as bad as you think, playing games is fast enough

Note10’s screen resolution is probably the most dissatisfied place for most people on this phone.

It uses Samsung’s “Dynamic AMOLED” screen, which has excellent high brightness and low screen reflectivity. It also supports HDR10+. The “A+” rating from DisplayMate is enough to show that this screen is in the smart phone field. Status.

But in terms of resolution, Samsung only continued the flagship 3040×1440 resolution screen on Note10+, while Note10’s screen resolution is 2280×1080, which is equal to this year’s S10e, not as good as the previous generation. The level of Note 9.

To be honest, from the actual usage, this difference in numbers is not so obvious when playing videos, reading e-books or brushing Weibo WeChat. The fineness of 401ppi is far better than iPhone XR and iPhone. Xs Max’s resolution difference is small, unless you take the Note10 and Note10+ two phones directly for pixel-level comparison.

But even then, we still hope that Samsung can set a higher goal for itself. Especially in the past two years, there have been high-refresh rate screens such as 90Hz and 120Hz. Samsung itself has even reversed the resolution. Obviously, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Outside the screen, the hardware of Note10 is nothing to be critical about. The Snapdragon 855 chip with UFS 3.0 high-speed flash memory is the guarantee of smoothness. I have not encountered Caton in the past few days.

To some extent, a portion of the Samsung flagship premium is also reflected here. It represents a commitment to the best components, so you don’t have to worry about “rolling over” events on screens, processors and storage components.
