The Galaxy Note10 (6.8”) & Note 10+ (6.3”) will hit the shelves on 23 August with enhanced S Pen and “pro-grade” camera.
The Note10 & Note 10+ were unveiled this morning during Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2019 in New York on 7 August at 4pm EDT.
The Galaxy Note10 starts at US$950 while the Note10+ starts at US$1,100, slightly more expensive than the S10 smartphone which ranges between US$900 to US$1,000.
First looks and hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note10 (S$1,398) and Galaxy Note10+ (S$1,598/S$1,898 for 256GB/512GB respectively) which will be available in Singapore from 24 August, 2019.
The previous Note9 has a 6.4-inch display while the current S10 is around the same size as the 6.3” Note10 with slightly less screen size.
The new phablets charge via a USB-C port which doubles up as an audio port as the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone.
Samsung first introduced the Galaxy Note series 8 years ago in 2011 – its differentiators were its large size and the stylus pen.
The latest iteration is the ninth, because Samsung skipped Note 6 altogether to align its numbering with its other flagship line, the S series of smartphones.
Samsung typically launches the S series in February and the Note series in late summer.
The Note10 has four cameras (1 front and 3 rear) – the three rear cameras comprising a 16MP ultra wide (123°), a 12MP wide-angle (77°) and a 12MPtelephoto (45°).
The front camera has 10 megapixels at 80° field of view.
The Note10+ has one extra rear camera (1 front and 4 rear) – the DepthVision camera.
The other cameras are the same in both versions.
The key specs for the Note10 and Note10+ are summarised below.

Official launch of Speedoc mobile app for house call medical treatment services in Singapore.
Speedoc was launched today at its office in UIC Building in Singapore.
The app was soft launched in Jan 2018 and has seen 3,490 downloads and 524 unique patients, with an average of 8 patients per day.
Speedoc currently has 29 doctors – 4 fulltime, 10 from clinics and 15 locums.
“After working as a public hospital doctor for five years, I noticed a gap in the market for non-essential A&E visits, for minor cases such as coughs, colds and constipation. My team and I created Speedoc as a solution for patients to receive medical attention at any time of the day. Our goal is to be a health-tech company that helps shift advanced medical care ‘from the hospital to the home’, especially in light of Singapore’s ageing population, which may find it increasingly difficult to visit hospitals and clinics easily,” says Dr. Shravan Verma, CEO and Founder of Speedoc.
All are GPs at the moment while the startup looks for specialists in the areas of pediatrics, geriatrics and obstetrics.
Each housecall costs at S$150 (8am-8pm), S$200 (8pm-12am) and S$250 (12am-8pm).
