If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Samsung Galaxy A15 would be the way to go as it's significantly less expensive than the Note10+. The A15 comes with a plastic body and a slightly smaller screen at 6.5 inches, compared to the Note10+'s 6.8-inch glass body. For photography enthusiasts, the Note10+ might be more appealing despite being older, as it has a higher-quality camera system with more features like a telephoto lens for zoom and HDR10+ video capabilities. Battery life is longer on the Note10+ and it also offers features like wireless charging and an included stylus, which the A15 lacks. On the performance side, the Note10+ has more RAM, which could translate to smoother multitasking and overall performance. If these premium features are worth the extra cost to you, the Note10+ could be a better choice. Otherwise, for basic phone functions and a much lower price point, the A15 will serve well.

Lauren Goode | August 2019
"It is difficult to drain the 4300-mAh battery on the Samsung Galaxy Note10+. I tried. I used it over the weekend, and I didn’t have to recharge it once between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. It’s a shiny spectacle of a phone, a kind of playground for Samsung, where the company can flex its acrobatic skills."
