Big and beautiful screen ; Top-tier performance ; Some new S Pen features are excellent ; Flexible triple-camera system

More expensive than previous Galaxy Notes ; The cameras still aren’t great in low light ; Battery life could be a little better

No headphone jack ; Screen size will be too big for some hands ; Camera doesn't really bring anything new to the table

There probably isn’t anything I wrote in this review that’s going to sway you to buy or not buy a Galaxy Note 10+. With an $1,100 price tag and top-of-the-line everything, it’s geared toward the Android user who wants the best, and boy, does it deliver.

Slick design ; Fantastic screen ; Great battery life ; Great performance ; Decent camera ; Plenty of features ; KNOX security ; Edge panel for easy app/feature access

Pricey ; S Pen has some gesture control issues ; No headphone jack ; Headphone adapter not included ; Side key isn't power button by default ; In display fingerprint scanner not reliable
