Galaxy Note 10 Plus Camera Review

Review of Galaxy Note 10 Plus Camera

After testing the Samsung S10 Plus, I had the opportunity to do a Galaxy Note 10 Plus camera review here for the smartphone photography fans. 

Well, to be honest, over the last five years or so, I took a back seat from smartphone reviews to focus on other tourism destination reviews, and only in this year 2019, I became active again. 

You see, I have been a smartphone user ever since the first iPhone 1 was launched, and then switched to the Samsung Note 1 when it was also launched; hence I have the experience dating back to those days.

While most people who review smartphones are from the current generation and only in the last five to seven years, I have been using and reviewing them since June of 2007. 

Since I have been travelling for the last 30 years, a smartphone has always been one of my camera choices, dating back to 2007. 

So much has happened over the last 10 years in terms of technology that I now use my smartphone more frequently on my trips. 

This review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus camera was done in late September 2019, and I explored Kuching City in Sarawak to test out the ultra-wide and night-mode of the camera. 

You should also know that I am not one of those tech-crazy reviewers who do a technical analysis of the phone, the processors, and all of those non-layman terms.

My style of review is simple, straightforward for general readers to understand. I guess not everyone wants to know how many cores the processor has or how much refresh rate the screen has.

If you want to know more technical specifications of the phone, the main Samsung website or other common reviews will have them, and I am sure you have seen a ton of them online. 

So, if you are a common user like me, who just wants to know more about what kind of photography can be achieved from the Note 10 Plus, then continue reading.  

Photos from the Galaxy Note 10 Plus Camera

Below is a series of photos from the Note 10 Plus taken during my trip to Kuching Sarawak from 27 to 30 September 2019. 

Please note that all the photos you see here are NOT EDITED; I just resized them and added my watermark for photo theft prevention. They were taken hand-held and without any tripod as well. 

The photos are also resized to fit this article, and if you want to see them in a larger picture, head over to my Facebook post on Galaxy Note 10 Plus photos

Conclusion

To be very honest, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and the Galaxy S10 Plus are equally identical with not much difference in the camera functions. 

When the Note 10 Plus officially launched, they had three ultra-wide focal lengths, while the S10 Plus had only two.

And after a major software update in October 2019 for the S10 Plus, both had similar functions for the camera. 

You can also read my camera review for the Galaxy S10 Plus, which also has unedited photos showing what that phone is capable of.

Therefore, if you are going for casual use, I strongly recommend the Galaxy S10 Plus, and if you are using your phone for both business and leisure, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is the phone to get. 

For more information, visit the official Samsung website as they have everything you need to know about the phones and other products there.
