Samsung released the Galaxy Note series earlier this week, but unlike the past, this year Samsung is taking a big and a small strategy in this series.

Of course, this is not surprising. After all, only one version of the Galaxy S10 mobile phone was available at the beginning of the year. In the current state of the mobile phone market, mobile phone manufacturers need to adjust their strategies more flexibly to ensure market sales.

Even if it is a billion-dollar Apple, even Samsung, a mobile phone manufacturer on one side and a mobile phone manufacturer on the other.

Depending on the configuration, the Galaxy Note 10 is the original version and the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G version. The former continues to use the classic name of the Note series, and the latter has a plus sign that symbolizes a higher specification. The logo supports a 5G suffix.

In terms of pricing, the prices of these two mobile phones in China are 6,599 yuan and 7,999 yuan respectively, and the difference is 1400 yuan, which is probably the price of a mid-range mobile phone.

In the past few days, we have received questions on “how to choose two Note 10” and “this value of 1400 yuan is not worth adding” on each platform.

Yes, I decided to Galaxy Note 10’s model evaluation to sort out some of the experience details of the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G version, and by the way, share some of the feelings of getting along with Note 10+ 5G in the past few days.

In addition to adding money to the file, you must also be prepared to accept the 200 gram body

Galaxy Note 10 The dimensions of the two units are 71.8 x 151.0 x 7.9mm and 77.2 x 162.3 x 7.9mm, respectively. In fact, the feeling of the hand can be said to be visible to the naked eye and the body is obviously heavy.

Although as an adult man, there is no problem with holding a large screen phone with one hand. But I will prefer the Galaxy Note 10 in terms of getting started, because the four R angles of the two phones have almost no curvature. When I hold it in one hand, my palm can wrap most of the body, so it won’t be Let the lower R angle be pressed to the palm of your hand.

In contrast, in order to facilitate the operation of Note 10+ 5G, the place I most often touch is actually the position of the lower part of the screen. At this time, the R angle of the phone will be on my palm, and it seems to remind me from time to time. Hold me steady.” And when I put my phone in a more close-fitting jeans pocket, thisThe R angle will also reach the thigh when I squat.

So for a user with a smaller palm, at this size, it may be necessary to use both hands for easy operation.

With the large volume coming together is the heavier body. In terms of parameters, Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ 5G weigh 168 grams and 198 grams, respectively, with a difference of 30 grams. Even so, Note 10+ 5G is still 10 grams lighter than the iPhone XS Max, even lighter than the 201-gram Galaxy Note 9.

Although the larger body size is one of the reasons for making the phone heavier, in fact, the inside of the phone also contains what we can’t see in the appearance:

The bigger screen, battery, 5G chip… Although these details are not seen on the surface of the mobile phone, these are just some of the places where the mobile phone is greatly weighted. After all, the current 5G is not The relationship between the two is the endurance and heat dissipation, so the current 5G mobile phones tend to be large and heavy.

However, I think the weight of the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is still within my acceptable range, and 180-200 grams I think is also the common weight of 5G mobile phones in the future.

Let me choose the big screen without hesitation

The large size allows the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G to carry a 6.8-inch screen, but because of the high screen size of the Infinity-O, it doesn’t feel like its specifications are getting started. The tablet is 7 inches.

< /p>

Comparing the two phones together, the most intuitive advantage of the big screen is that it can display more content, whether it is displaying web pages, documents or videos, it has been repeatedly demonstrated in the previous Galaxy Note products. . For me, the big screen really brings me convenience when multi-tasking is displayed.

For example, on a daily basis, I will use Chrome to find information and take notes with documents, or to scan the news while watching the video, and copy the contents of the web page to the dialog box without switching the app.

In any case, the look and feel experience in the large screen of multi-screen multi-tasking is always more comfortable and convenient than the small screen. We have already experienced this on the large-screen mobile devices such as the iPad and the previous generation Galaxy Note. pass.

Of course, the screen portion is expanded from 6.3 inches to 6.8 inches, and the display resolution is also from Note 101080P has risen to the 1440P level, reaching 498 PPI, and the comprehensive quality has reached the goal of conquering the strict requirements of mobile phones in four minutes.

For this screen of Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, DisplayMate evaluates it, gives an evaluation It is “textbook perfection”. However, DisplayMate only mentions Note 10+ 5G in this report, so I also replied here that they only evaluate one product.

High-resolution large screen will naturally be a plus item for the product, especially when it displays images with high definition and high color contrast, which will bring obvious visual impact. I am not saying that the 6.3-inch Note 10 is not performing well, but the Note 10+ 5G’s 6.8-inch screen will perform even better.

Even when two phones are put together, I will not hesitate to choose a larger screen with a higher resolution because it can display more content and respond to things like 4K video playback later. It also brings a higher-definition picture quality display.

Greater storage, more important is to support storage expansion

The parameters of the Galaxy Note 10 series are very good this year, because the Bank of China has only two configurations, and most of themThe parameters are the same, the difference is only in the deposit:

• Galaxy Note 10: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 + 8GB Storage + 256GB Storage Space
• Galaxy Note 10+ 5G: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 + 12GB Storage + 256GB Storage Space

You see, even the first time you touch this phone, you can put down the configuration of the two phones in 1 minute.

12GB of storage is the exclusive configuration of Galaxy Note 10+ 5G version. The role of storage has been discussed in various evaluations before. It is simple to understand that it can provide more cache space for software operation. So that the mobile phone can have sufficient resources to keep running smoothly during high-voltage multi-tasking.

But here I am not saying that the 8GB of Galaxy Note 10 is not enough, because most of the flagship phones are starting at 8GB, so the configuration of Note 10 is in line with the current mainstream, and it can handle most of the apps. .

While the 12GB of Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is shipped, I think that in addition to the regular increase in mobile phone running resources, there are stillAR, VR, or other large programs reserve more operating conditions. In addition, I want to differentiate from Note 10 in marketing and enhance the competitiveness of this product in the market.

However, although a Galaxy S8 is “poor” between 12GB and 8GB, there is no obvious experience gap in the daily experience. 12GB can run smoothly, 8GB can run smoothly; 8GB opens Taobao Card, 12GB Open Taobao will also card, just the difference between milliseconds.

So the most critical difference between the two versions is not in the store, but in a place that everyone may not notice – the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G can support 1TB memory card expansion, while Note 10 Does not support extended memory.

In fact, I am a bit confused, because before the Galaxy S or Galaxy Note, Samsung did not forget to leave a memory expansion location for the mobile phone, although it is only “or or” design, but for users who have storage needs later. Said, this is an alternative way to expand the storage capacity of mobile phones.

However, Samsung’s cancellation of the Note 10 expansion slot really surprised me a bit, and they all have only 256GB of a configuration option. Therefore, for users who have stored a large number of pictures, videos or files on their mobile phones, they can only choose the cloud storage or choose the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G that can be expanded.

It’s worth mentioning that according to iFixit’s recently released Galaxy Note 10+ 5G Disassemble Report, the machine is configured It’s a horizontal linear motor, and it’s a clear difference from Note 10. The actual experience will feel that Note 10+ 5G will be more natural and softer than the S10 series and Note 10.

In addition, in order to protect the heat dissipation performance of the mobile phone under 5G high voltage, Samsung also has a large liquid-cooled plate inside the mobile phone to provide a wider heat dissipation effect than the copper tube cover.

5G is the essence of it

“Galaxy Note 10+ 5G”, as its name implies, the biggest selling point of this mobile phone is the support for 5G network. Whether it is the volume, weight, performance, etc. mentioned above, it is closely related to 5G.

Although the X50 baseband of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 only supports NSA instead of SA networking, strictly speaking it is not perfect, but it is also the only way for Qualcomm devices to access 5G.

In order to let everyone know that NSA is the ideal 5G solution, Samsung even spent special time at release conference. A few minutes to explain the NSA to SA upgrade process, the purpose is to let everyone know that the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is a device that will not be outdated in 2020.

For the advantage of 5G, our most intuitive feeling is “fast”, see the webpage fast, watch the video online fast, download fast…

In the 5G road test in Guangzhou, the network downlink speed can start at 50MB per second, but it may be due to the fact that the mobile phone is an informal engineering machine, and it starts to fall back at 60MB per second. Moreover, the test scores are also subject to fluctuations due to network conditions, and occasionally there will be 4G network speeds under the 5G network.

But fast is just one of the advantages of 5G over 4G. On the basis of 5G, the mobile phone is not only a smart mobile phone device, but also a core terminal of IOT smart home.

In fact, as early as last year’s Galaxy Note 9 National Bank conference, Samsung has already announced the layout of IOT’s Zhijia products, including Samsung’s own washing machines, refrigerators, sweeping robots and other white-party and third-party partner equipment. These require 5G as the interconnected medium and Bixby as the AI ​​core. This update of the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is a key step in Samsung’s IOT layout.

Of course, talking about the application of 5G in the 4G world is like 50 years ago, people talking about the 21st century car will fly in the sky, although the imagination of the application scene is very full, but the actual use still needs to see the determination of the manufacturer. And strength.

From the current 5G global plan, the real outbreak of 5G is in 2020, when we can see how these phones are performing.

What is more for a TOF camera?

Unlike the Galaxy Note 10’s three shots, the Note 10+ 5G is equipped with four cameras. In addition to the wide-angle main shot, super wide-angle, and telephoto, there is a TOF lens near the flash.

The TOF lens is already standard on flagship mobile phones for nearly a year, and its role in our previous introduction to TOF has also been discussed More than once, we can understand it as the eye of the phone, used to detect the current object structure and then perform in-depth analysis.

In the moment, the phone’s rear TOF is mainly used in three areas:

AR display enhancement, photo detection, game somatosensory detection

Although Samsung did not emphasize the AR function in this mobile phone, it seems that the hardware has already prepared for this function. First, 5G and then TOF, from the transmission medium to the detection instrument, this mobile phone has already run AR. The basic elements of the program.

At the moment, AR is mainly used for measurement or game entertainment, such as TOF to detect the volume (size) of an object,Instead of traditional measuring tools.

Based on the characteristics of physical detection, TOF is also often used in camera functions. For example, at the beginning of the Huawei P30 Pro, the TOF lens of this mobile phone can be used as the depth of field detection of the subject in portrait mode.

In Note 10+ 5G, this TOF lens can also be used to enhance portrait shooting, more accurately identify the subject and background, and achieve more effective and accurate real-time video blur.

Of course, what TOF can do is not only measurement and auxiliary photography. In terms of entertainment, TOF can also become a receiver for somatosensory action, and then realize real-time motion control like Xbox Kinect.

But when this kind of gameplay will be implemented, it will take a look at the cooperation between Samsung and software vendors.

Big battery, higher charging power

The battery configuration is another place where the two phones are pulled apart. Thanks to the larger body size, the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is equipped with a 4300mAh battery, which is 20% more than the Note 10’s 3500mAh.

But since this is a 5G mobile phone, the two mobile phones cannot use the theoretical data to derive the endurance argument in terms of battery life. So in the past two days, I have been using 5G cards as a test of the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G’s battery life in the 5G network.

At 18 pm on August 22, I finished charging my phone, which is 100%. After that, I watched the 3-hour online video on my mobile phone, listened to 30 minutes of online music, and then performed a 7-hour sleep standby. Then, I have been using Weibo and WeChat on my mobile phone. At this time, the mobile phone power has reached 51%.

In the end, I also downloaded “Peace Elite” and “Wild Car 9” on my mobile phone, and played for 45 minutes in total, until 6:00 pm the next day, the remaining battery power is 8%, a total of 21 hours (discount standby time) After 14 hours).

So in the battery life section, I can draw two conclusions: one is that even if the mobile phone is in the 5G network state, there will not be a large battery life diving situation, which is the same as my previous 5G mobile phone. Huawei Mate 20 X 5G test results are consistent;

The other is the mobile phone continuedI was deeply impressed by the flight. I can still have more than 10 hours of battery life on the big screen. It should also be able to meet the heavy mobile phone users who are often not charging.

In addition, this year’s Galaxy Note 10 series can support 25W fast charge, and the standard is also a 25W charger, so the charging performance is also slightly better than the Galaxy S10 series.

Users who are allowed to purchase can also purchase a 45W charger, which is also exclusive to the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G.

But it should be noted that according to the actual measurement, 45W fast charge can not be stimulated in the third-party chargerLive, up to 25-27W power. From this point of view, to achieve 45W fast charge must also choose Samsung’s own charger.

This is the complete body of Galaxy Note 10

This year, Samsung China only offers two options for Galaxy Note 10, which is more limited than the previous Galaxy Note 9. But if we look at it from the perspective of music, this may be a good thing. First of all, we don’t have to remember so much about their parameters. Secondly, we don’t need to remember so much price, and the model selection is more convenient.

The difference between the two Note 10s is $1,400, and in the difference of $1,400, we can get these things in the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G:

• Greater, higher resolution screen
• 12 GB storage
• Extensible storage space
• Support 5G network (national line only)
• TOF camera
• Big capacity battery
• Support 45W fast charge (requires additional charger)

Someone once asked me on Weibo, this is not worth 1400 yuan.Flower, I think this should be considered from two aspects. On the one hand, subjective considerations, do you need such a large-size mobile phone, is it useful for mobile business office needs, is the budget limited? If you don’t need it, the Galaxy S10+, which is priced at less than 6,000 yuan, can already satisfy you.

On the other hand, product considerations, the difference of 1,400 yuan I think is mainly in 5G and TOF, followed by screen and storage. In the long run, 5G is a new trend that must be developed. Whether it is the subsequent network speed addition or IOT application, these are inseparable from 5G mobile phones, not to mention the best performing screen at the moment. From a hardware perspective, this $1400 is still worth adding.

Galaxy Note 10+ 5G Comparison Note 10 has been upgraded so much that my colleagues have given this evaluation after experiencing one big and one small mobile phones:

Small Galaxy Note 10 is like a well-regulated 2019 flagship. The big Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is the real “overseason” product.

Of course, although I am evaluating Galaxy Note 10+ 5GThe evaluation is quite high, but this product still has some details that make me feel that it is not conducive to future marketing communication, such as not catching up with the Snapdragon 855 Plus, X50 baseband only supports NSA and does not support SA networking. Although these details will not affect the experience of the whole machine, in the face of the highly competitive Chinese mobile phone market, the parameters can often become a plus item.

But this year’s Galaxy Note 10+ 5G didn’t disappoint me in terms of design, screen and overall performance. After perfecting the 5G, Dex and SPen experience, it became more and more like a business and entertainment business. Small computer, and this is the advantage of the Galaxy Note compared to Samsung’s own Galaxy S series and other phones.
