Choosing between the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ and the Galaxy Note20, consider that the Note10+ offers a slightly larger and sharper screen, more RAM, and more base storage. The Note20, however, has a newer processor, a higher battery life, more advanced video recording capabilities, and a plastic back which may be less prone to breakage but may feel less premium. If you're looking for a better camera system, the Note20 improves on the Note10+ with a higher-resolution telephoto camera. Both phones are similar in quality and lack a headphone jack but have Wireless DeX for desktop-like experience. If cost is a concern, the Note10+ is less expensive, but if newer features and a better camera are priorities, the Note20 could be worth the extra expense. Give Feedback

WIRED

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."

Mike Lowe | October 2020
"We think pretty much anyone picking up the Note 20 to take photos will be very happy with the sharpness and appearance of the shots. If you're looking for a phone with an integrated stylus then there's little better than the note-taking potential of this phone. Sure, its 'glasstic' rear and lack of higher refrsh-rate screen are little red marks against its specification, but you can buy the step-up Ultra model if you see that as a problem - although we prefer the smaller price and smaller camera lump of this 'entry' Note model."
