He talked about the endless possibilities that the Note 10 and 10+ had while going through various key elements that the latest smartphone offered to today's lifestyle and business consumers. 

The Samsung Malaysia president quoted, "For the first time ever, Samsung is introducing not one, but two Note devices. These come with four revolutionary innovations in terms of design, creativity, productivity, and performance".

The MC's for the night joined Mr YS Kim on stage to make the stunning announcement that the pre-orders for the all-new Galaxy Note 10 and 10+ were completely sold out at lunchtime on the 15th of August. 

To everyone's surprise, the pre-orders just opened on the 8th of August in Malaysia; it was completely sold out in a week. However, there were no official numbers on how many units were available. 

Mr YS Kim thanked the Samsung fans of Malaysia for this remarkable feat and noted that if you have missed the pre-order, you can follow up with the participating partners when the news is official.

The launch event continued with both MC's taking the lead in talking about the Note 10 and 10+ and their core features.

Next, a couple of local Malaysians were invited onstage to share their personal experiences using the smartphone weeks before the launch. 

A live demonstration was also conducted onstage for the AR Doodle, which is one of the highlights for active users on social media. 

However, the key highlight for the Galaxy Note series has always been the S-Pen, where this time around, the S-Pen has broken boundaries with its technology.

The stage event ended with an invitation for media members to have a hands-on experience with the actual Galaxy Note 10 and 10+ models. 

This was held outside the main ballroom of St.Regis, where specially dedicated stations were set up with the smartphone units and specially trained staff to explain details. 

Samsung Members, Partners, and specially invited guests were ushered up to level six of the hotel, the Crystal Bar at St.Regis. This was an open-aired pool area with a lounge and bar.

The finale for the Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus launch in Malaysia was concluded with a spectacular fireworks show. 

Guests at the Crystal Bar had the best view, and fireworks came in pale yellow and blue, which was a nice touch considering that the Samsung colour is blue. 

Malaysia Note 10 and 10 Plus Reviews

Well, I am quite sure that you may have read all the raving reviews for the new Note 10 and 10 Plus, and for me to put in all the specifications and features would be another overkill. 

I also did a speculation article about Note 10 and 10 Plus in Malaysia at the end of July, a few weeks before it was officially launched in the USA. 

Actually, I will not do any Note 10 reviews until I try it myself; as I often travel, I would love to see how the Note 10 works for my travels. 

For the Note 10 and 10 Plus specifications, I recommend you visit the Samsung Malaysia official website to see them. Everything you need to know is there.

Where Can You Get The New Note 10 and 10+? 

For now, the Galaxy Note 10 was officially launched in Malaysia on the 15th of August, 2019, and soon, participating partners like the popular telecommunications companies in Malaysia will start selling them.

They are not available at the Samsung retail outlets until it is officially announced. If you see some being sold at third-party vendors, they are all AP units, where if anything goes wrong, Samsung Malaysia will not accept them as a warranty unit.

Final Thoughts on the Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus Launch in Malaysia

Just so you know, all the photos taken in this article are from my Samsung Galaxy S10+ smartphone. Since changing to the S10 Plus, I have found no reason to carry my bulky camera around.

To be very honest, I find that the Note 10+ is absolutely amazing, especially with all the new features added. I currently use a Galaxy S10+, and it is quite similar to the Note 10+.

If you have been pondering about switching your older smartphone to a new one, I would easily recommend you consider changing to the Note 10 or 10+.

The Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus Launch in Malaysia is just the beginning, and you can expect more innovation and amazing smartphones from Samsung coming your way.
