Samsung's Note 10+ is the absolute pinnacle of its engineering achievement. Forget the foldable pretender – the Note 10+'s superb camera, performance and battery life make it the real crown jewel of the Galaxy range.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Indeed, of the two models, the Note 10 Plus is the phone I'd choose over anything else – if I had enough money, that is. It might require two hands and a mountain of cash, but it really doesn't get much better than this.

TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester

It's been a while since I personally reviewed a Note device. That being said, as it was now, the Note10+ is still the king of Samsung devices. While it has plenty of features, many are likely to be unused except by the biggest power users.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

The Note 10+, despite the lack of a headphone jack, has everything crammed into the most compact 6.8-inch phone to have existed till date. It is everything you've come to expect from a Note phone and most of your concerns will be rendered invalid once you start using the phone.

CNET | Jessica Dolcourt

Samsung closed the camera gap with rivals and created a top-of-the-line phone for people who want the best Android has to offer.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

Note series is targeted to the enterprise and is once again the most powerful Samsung Galaxy phone available today so it will likely do well with Note fans.

phoneArena | Victor Hristov

... we still love the Note 10+. It's an excellent, beautiful all-around phone.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is the true successor to the Note 9. It's a brute of a phone with a lovely display, plenty of grunt and a huge battery. There isn't a whole lot new when compared to the S10 – but this still stands as the true high-end Samsung phone for the end of 2019.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

The Galaxy Note 10+ is currently the best offering from Samsung. The smartphone comes with a large display, which is quite impressive and delivers some really good output.

India Today | Sanket Vijayasarathy

If you're going to spend on a phone, it needs to have it all ... It's quite simply the only Note phone worth buying or upgrading to if you're coming from the Note 9.

The Economic Times | Hitesh Raj Bhagat

If you like large, powerful phones, this is nearly perfect. It's what geek dreams are made of!

Firstpost | Sheldon Pinto

Buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ if you desperately want a premium-looking Android smartphone with a good display and can bear with slower software updates. Or if you just cannot do without the S Pen.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

It might be a bit too big for some, but if you can handle (and afford) it, you won't find a better phone than the Galaxy Note 10+.

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

Between its built-in stylus and productivity potential, the Note 10+ doesn't really have a competitor that delivers anywhere near the same experience. This makes the Note 10+'s biggest hurdle its high price tag. But if you can swing it (or find a deal), the Note 10+ is still the closest thing we have to the true everything phone.

TechRadar | Matt Swider

The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is Samsung's biggest and most powerful phone yet, and its Aura colors almost symbolically reflect smartphone luxury top to bottom.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

Galaxy Note 10+ might seem too expensive. However, considering what it offers in terms of performance, Samsung's software and hardware package isn't exorbitantly overpriced. If you don't mind spending this much money, the Galaxy Note 10+ is one of the best devices that money can buy at the moment.

The Indian Express | Anuj Bhatia

Samsung has succeeded in its attempt to position the Note 10+ as a device for power users. However, Samsung is caught in the dichotomy between the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy Note 10+.

Gadgets Now | Debashis Sarkar

... if you are looking a power packed Android smartphone with the luxury of having all the latest software features and the very best of hardware then the Galaxy Note 10+ is your best bet.

Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu

The Note 10 Plus is an all-around winner. It can take excellent photos at various perspectives; its battery lasts about a full day, but its charging speed is among the fastest available on a phone; it has a beautifully-massive screen that looks futuristic; and all the speed you need for intensive tasks and gaming.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

If you've never felt much affection for the S Pen, I'm not sure the Note 10+ will change your mind. Even so, the Note 10+'s blend of performance, hardware quality and a genuinely useful stylus mean that it's still the best big phone you can buy right now.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt

Big, strong and beautiful - the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is a fantastic smartphone without offering much more than its immediate Galaxy Note and Galaxy S predecessors.

Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday

If you're the person who's entire life revolves around their phone and like the idea of investing in making that experience the best it can be, you'll get a lot out of what the Note 10+ offers.

Mashable | Raymond Wong

The Note 10+ is a flagship phone in every regard - the best big phone with a stylus - but instead of setting the trends for every other phone to copy, Samsung plays it safe (again).

Mobile Syrup | Patrick O'Rourke

Ultimately, whether the Note 10 is worth it for you comes down to how much you value a stylus in your smartphone, as well as what device you're currently using.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

I do think the stylus is the only important reason to pick the Note 10 Plus over the Galaxy S10 Plus or some other big Android phone. And how much you're into it is an entirely personal decision.

What Mobile | Jasper Hart

If you're keen on the look of the phone but don't want to spend quite as much, the Galaxy Note 10 is also out there.

Tech.co | Tom Fogden

If you want a phone that can do everything - from watching films to playing games to managing spreadsheets and beyond, the Note 10 Plus is probably the best phone on the market.

Mobile News | Jasper Hart

If you're keen on the look of the phone but don't want to spend quite as much, the Galaxy Note 10 is also out there.

91mobiles | Nitansh Rastogi

With the Galaxy Note 10+, Samsung isn't just relying on the S Pen to make a case for the smartphone. It's everything you'd want in a smartphone, along with things that you may not even know you need.

Android Central | Harish Jonnalagadda

To sum it up, there's a lot to like in the Note 10+, but it does feel like Samsung's hasn't done enough - particularly on the camera front - to make the phone stand out from what Google and Huawei have to offer.

SlashGear | Chris Davies

The Note 10+ is bigger, faster, shinier, more feature-packed, and longer-lasting than its predecessor, as well as being more expensive. It is, as we probably could've predicted even before Samsung announced it, the best Note so far.

T3 | Robert Jones

As a tech enthusiast, there is something in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that just pushes all the right buttons. It absolutely smokes almost all flagship rivals in terms of internal hardware spec, punches hard across every feature area, and even delivers unique functionality with its S Pen digital stylus that other device's cannot match at all.

What Hi-Fi?

The Galaxy Note 10+ is a world-class media phone, but some of the changes Samsung has – and hasn't – made aren't the best for video and music.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

Note still exists is for those who love the productivity and fun of the stylus, which Samsung has only added to with the wand-like S-Pen Air gestures. Note fans will love it. But for everyone else, the S10+ is probably the better Samsung phone, while the competition from the likes of OnePlus and Huawei is exceedingly strong.

Stuff | Natalya Paul

A very capable and glamorous android phone with a touch too much swagger for most.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

The S10+ and Note 10+ are largely similar, ignoring the latter's inclusion of S Pen. But herein lies the very reason the Note exists: it has this built-in stylus, and a bunch of useful functionality and controls, that no other phone-maker can match in this regard. It's this simple fact that will, for some people, make the Note a king in among the crowd.

Know Your Mobile | Damien Mcferran

Note 10 Plus is a seriously capable piece of hardware which combines amazing looks with powerful internals and excellent software.

Wired UK | Sophie Charara

For certain people, this will be the plush, feature-stuffed phone of your dreams. For everyone else, a lot of this could well be overkill.

AndroidPit | Julius Stiebert

The smartphone runs fast and smoothly and seems to have more than enough power at all times.

Wired | Lauren Goode

It's overkill. And if that's what you want, then you're going to love it.

PC Mag | Sascha Segan

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is a big, powerful phone that's good for artists and note-takers.

Forbes | Ben Sin

... for those who need a stylus; or is a fan of Samsung's brand; or love Android but don't trust Chinese brands; the Note 10 Plus will leave you fully satisfied.

TheEffect.Net | John Reilly

No doubt, this is still one of the best smartphones you can get right now. It's good to see Samsung constantly improving its next-generation product. S Pen is just getting better with better features and the ability to remap the Bixby button really shows how the company really focuses on user experience.
