Multi-FACETED Productivity to MAXIMIZE EVERY MOMENT

Note fans put a premium on productivity, and they see their phone as essential to helping them do and achieve more. For these users, the Galaxy Note10 features new technologies, enhanced capabilities and powerful integrations all in service of giving them the freedom to work in the way that makes them the most productive.

  • Handwriting to Text: The Galaxy Note10 brings a powerful new capability to the re-designed, unibody S Pen. Now, you can jot down notes, instantly convert their handwriting to digital text in Samsung Notes, and export it to a variety of different formats, including Microsoft Word. You can also now customize notes by shrinking, enlarging, or changing the color of the text. In just a few taps, meeting notes can be formatted and shared; bursts of inspiration can quickly become editable documents.
  • Evolution of the S Pen: Note10 builds on the Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled S Pen capabilities introduced on the Galaxy Note9 by adding Air actions, allowing you to control certain aspects of the device using gestures with the S Pen. By opening up the Air actions SDK, developers can create customized controls, which will give users the ability to play games or use their favorite applications using gestures.
  • Samsung DeX for PC: Galaxy Note10 extends Samsung DeX’s capabilities, making it easier for you to work between your phone and a PC or Mac. With a simple, compatible USB connection, you can drag and drop files between devices and use your favorite mobile apps with a mouse and a keyboard, while keeping your data secure on the phone through Samsung Knox.
  • Link to Windows: Galaxy Note10 integrates Link to Windows directly into the Quick Panel. With one click, users can connect to their Windows 10 PC. There, they can see notifications, send and receive messages, and review recent photos without pausing to look down at their phone.

Pro-GRADE CAMERA FOR CREATORS

With the Galaxy Note10, content creators and everyday users alike can use state-of-the-art tools to capture stunning video and photos—allowing their channels, stories and posts to stand out and make an impact. Featuring a combination of advanced imaging technology and software, the Galaxy Note10 elevates mobile videography and photography to the next level.

  • Premium Video Technology: The Galaxy Note10 enables you to capture pro-grade video without having to carry around any extra gear. Live Focus Video adds depth-of-field adjustments so you can blur the background to focus on your subject. Zoom-In Mic amplifies the audio in frame and pushes background noise aside to help focus on the sounds that you want. And to remove the bumps and shakes that usually make an action shot blurry, new and improved Super steady stabilizes footage, and is now available in Hyperlapse mode.
  • Quick and Easy Video Editing: Once they’ve recorded their video, Galaxy Note10 users can edit on the go instantly right from their phones. Video editor can be used with the S Pen, so instead of having to tap to select or edit a clip, users can choose the precise moment they want to trim. For creators who need even more control over their footage, Adobe Rush3 on the Galaxy Note10 provides a sophisticated suite of editing tools, now even more accurate with the S Pen.
  • Screen Recorder: For gamers who want to add some personality to their streams, or vloggers who want to enhance their tutorials, Galaxy Note10 introduces Screen Recorder. Easily capture what’s on the screen, use picture-in-picture to add reactions, and use the S Pen to annotate as they record for a more entertaining, engaging video.
  • AR Doodle and 3D Scanner: Galaxy Note10 integrates bleeding-edge AR and 3D capabilities into the camera. Along with an Ultra-Wide camera, it opens up an entirely new medium for creators. With AR Doodle, use the S Pen to personalize photos with dynamic drawings, effects, and animations that track to the image. And with 3D Scanner4, a groundbreaking first for the Note, the Galaxy Note10+’s DepthVision camera can take a scan of an object5, and instantly turn it into a movable 3D rendering.
  • Night Mode: People take plenty of selfies in low light situations—at dinner, at concerts or just enjoying a sunset. Night Mode, now available on the front camera, lets you capture striking selfies no matter how dim or dark the conditions.

UNPARALLELED performance for power users

Note fans use their phones to do just about everything—not just tackling everyday tasks, but taking on big projects: running their business, editing video for their social media channels, creating beautiful illustrations with the S Pen. To help them do it all, the Galaxy Note10 is engineered with top-tier hardware and next level features.

  • Super Fast Charging: With just 30 minutes of charge, the Galaxy Note10+ lasts through the day6 with up to 45W wired charging capability7.
  • Wireless PowerShare8: Wireless PowerShare comes to the Note. You can wirelessly recharge Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, or another Qi-enabled device with the Galaxy Note10.
  • Gaming: As mobile games get more processing-heavy and graphics-rich, the best gaming experiences require top specs. Galaxy Note10 features the world’s slimmest vapor chamber cooling system, which delivers optimal performance during gameplay while keeping the device slim and sleek. With the AI-based Game Booster, Galaxy Note10 optimizes performance and power consumption depending on the game.
  • Hyperfast Speeds: With LTE and 5G-ready options, Note10 users can take full advantage of their carriers’ fastest speeds. Galaxy Note10+ 5G harnesses the full power of the next generation network for streaming high resolution video, downloading content hyper fast, and streaming graphics-heavy games in real time. By allowing us to do everything we love, hyper fast, the Note10+ 5G is changing the way we consume content and connect with friends and family.

Galaxy Note10 sits at the heart of the Galaxy ecosystem, a suite of premium products and services that offer experiences to help make Note fans’ lives more streamlined and connected. Wearables like the Galaxy Watch Active2 and tablets like the Galaxy Tab S6 keep users connected and help them accomplish more on-the-go.

Building on these products are Samsung services which provide people with a connected and convenient Galaxy experience. Samsung Pay enables swift and secure payment options.
