As mentioned above, the tipster claims the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will have a three-stage aperture system in the camera or a triple variable aperture. Aperture is the opening in front of the sensor which lets the light pass through to it. The variable aperture system will switch between three different aperture settings, which are f/1.5, f/1.8 and f/2.4 depending upon the lighting situations. The tipster reveals the source of the information is Samsung China’s engineers; who are possibly working on the development of the upcoming flagship smartphone. It is expected that the feature will only be available in the primary camera of the Galaxy Note 10, with the rest of the sensors sporting a fixed aperture.

The variable aperture feature was introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S9 series last year in February. Since then, it has made an appearance in successive flagship smartphone launches from the company; including the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy S10 series. The aforementioned devices, however, used a two-way variable aperture system. This means that they can switch between an aperture of f/1.5 and f/2.4 depending upon the lighting conditions. Adding a triple stage variable aperture like rumoured in the Galaxy Note 10 will add a host of customisation and variations in images and video output from the device. The upcoming flagship smartphone as mentioned above may be launched on the 7th of August at an event in New York. The official announcement will confirm all the speculations and leaks so far.

Samsung’s latest Note series flagship is right around the corner with other big releases like the upcoming Apple iPhone 2019 and Google’s Pixel 4 line up. The Korean company will have to pull out an amazing feature or function with the new device to make it stand a cut above the rest. Amidst the various rumours, new reports by a renowned leakster reveal a new ‘Sound on Display’ technology for the Galaxy Note 10.

Ice Universe, the source, leaked Samsung’s new proprietary feature on Twitter. This implied that the tech giant is letting go of the earpiece systems that have been used so far for a new feature to facilitate calls. Within the tweet, a couple of images were shared as well. These images showcased screen protectors that showcased negligible bezels on the Galaxy Note 10 save a punch hole camera cut out. 

Sound on Display is a feature that will have vibrations travel through the screen and to the user’s ears when they receive a call. In practice, the feature on the Galaxy Note 10 will function similar to any other handset. According to the aforementioned images, both the Pro and non-Pro will incorporate the new technology. Notably, Samsung is not the first manufacturer to bring this function to mainstream markets, Huawei and LG have previously equipped their flagships with the same. In fact, the company has already tried it once on its own M series lineup. The Samsung Galaxy M40 received mixed reception for the substitute tech over an earpiece with concerns regarding quality.

Reports have even claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 may also feature traditional speakers alongside the Sound on Display feature. However, no concrete evidence has been uncovered and a simple screen protector does not always paint a true picture. Furthermore, it is still highly likely as Samsung has already included the feature in mid-range smartphones and the upcoming Note 10 will probably seek to innovate where possible.

Korean electronics giant Samsung is best known for its smartphones. The company launches its flagship smartphones twice a year, once at the beginning with the Galaxy S series, and then in the third quarter with the Galaxy Note series. As it has already introduced the Galaxy S10 lineup in the month of February this year, it is expected the Galaxy Note 10 will also be announced in the following weeks. Now, to confirm all suspicions, a report has leaked the launch date of the upcoming flagship device from Samsung. It is being claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 will officially be unveiled on the 7th of August.

As mentioned above, the report claims the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be launched on the 7th of August in the official Unpacked event. As far as the location of the announcement is concerned; it has been revealed that the smartphone will be unveiled at the Barclays centre in Brooklyn, New York. Notably, this is the same venue where the device’s predecessor, the Galaxy Note 9 was launched last year on the 9th of August. While the information seems genuine, the date and venue can be changed before the official announcement as there is still time before the launch.

The Galaxy Note 10 is expected to be a considerable improvement over its predecessor. Past leaks have claimed the smartphone will arrive in four variants, out of which at least one will support 5G; the next generation of mobile networks. The device will have a centred punch hole cutout to house the front camera and will have a vertical camera setup. This is unlike the horizontal camera systems the Galaxy S10 series employs. The leaks have also claimed the handset will let go of the 3.5mm headphone jack, which will be a first for a mainstream Samsung flagship. It is also expected to be priced considerably more than the Galaxy S10 series. While most details about the Galaxy Note 10 are all but confirmed; we will still have to wait for the official announcement in the month of August to douse our suspicions.  

With each passing day, new leaks corresponding to the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Pro surface. Afresh, the glass screen protector of both the flagship grade devices has surfaced on Chinese social media website, Weibo, revealing key details about their front design.

The alleged screen protector of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Pro states that both the handsets have a centre mounted punch hole near the top bezel which houses a single selfie camera. Furthermore, they exhibit a taper towards the side which states the upcoming smartphones will have a curved display like the Galaxy S10 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. Noteworthy, the punch hole in the screen protectors is smaller in comparison to previously launched Samsung smartphones having this feature including the Galaxy A8s. Although the present leak does not reveal any specification of the Note 10 lineup, they can be derived from past leaks and reports.

In terms of screen size, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is reported to have a 6.4 inch display while the Pro variant is reported to have a 6.7 inch display. Under the hood, the devices are assumed to pack the Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 SoC which will be dependent on the region the devices are sold in. For photography, the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Pro is claimed to have a quad rear camera setup which is also proposed by the leaked cases. According to a past leak, the devices will have a battery larger than 4,000 mAh with the Pro variant being powered by a 4,500 mAh cell.

More details about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 smartphone lineup are expected to be unravelled in coming days. While the exact price and specifications will be revealed at the official launch event which is expected to take place in the month of August. 

Samsung is known for launching its Galaxy Note series smartphones at the end of summer. Following the same launch cycle, the company’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy Note 10 is expected to be unveiled in the month of August 2019. Ahead of its announcement, rumours regarding the device have started to surface. As per latest rumours, the 3.5mm headphone jack, which was retained in the Galaxy S10 series smartphones will reportedly not be present in the Note 10 devices. Furthermore, the flagship smartphone may not sport any physical buttons as well. The device will be released in two different variants, and both of them will sport the same button-less design. 

The rumours further state that the exterior buttons of the Galaxy Note 10 handsets will be replaced by capacitative or pressure sensitive buttons, that will be accessed by the user via raised bumps or a textured surface along the sides. Another device with the same design factor is the Vivo Apex, which is a step ahead and excluded all forms of ports and buttons from the device. Both the volume rockers and power button in the aforementioned smartphone were capacitative. Moreover, the device lacked all forms of ports, including the charging port. It had to be charged using the magnetic POGO pins at the back.

The removal of buttons from the smartphone will result in the absence of any cutouts in the frame of the device. This implies that the the Note 10 will have a slimmer design with increased structural integrity. Also, an IP68 water and dust resistance rating is easier to attain with the removal of physical buttons. However, we can expect that the Note 10 will not go port-less anytime soon, since the inclusion of a stylus and fast charging renders it impossible to do so. 

A similar change was introduced to smartphones a few years back, when manufacturers inadvertently moved in favour of removing physical ‘home’ buttons from the devices. For instance, the iPhone 6S was the last smartphone from Apple that featured a physical home button. The downside to such buttons is their tendency to wear out after a duration of time. On the other hand, capacitative buttons are much more resilient as compared to physical buttons. Another factor is the space consumed by the physical button module inside the device. The removal of physical buttons can ensure more space for the screen and other components.  

As mentioned before, the buttons are not the only feature that is being eliminated. Rumours state that the 3.5mm headphone jack, which has been present in all Samsung flagships till date (except the Galaxy Fold) will be ditched in the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 smartphones. Other popular smartphone brands such as OnePlus and Apple have already gotten rid of the headphone jack in their flagship smartphones, and it seems that the South Korean technology company is planning to follow suit.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is expected to be unveiled in the month of August 2019. It is speculated to feature a quad rear camera setup, a 19:9 display and a 4,500 mAh battery in the top variant. Also, the company may introduce a new stylus for the smartphones, which will boast of an inbuilt camera with optical zoom. 

Following the positive reviews received by the Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone series, the expectations for the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 lineup are at an all time high. Leaks are pouring in from a variety of sources and have provided an idea of what’s in store for fans later in the year 2019. Previous leaks had indicated that the company’s next flagship will feature a quad rear camera setup. As per latest reports, the four cameras will be arranged in a style that shifts from Samsung’s conventional method of design. Noteworthy, the South Korean technology giant may incorporate a centrally placed punch-hole notch on the front of the smartphone.  Where the rear camera arrangement in the latest Galaxy S10 series smartphones is horizontal aligned on the upper half, the upcoming Note 10 is expected to have a vertical rear camera module placed at the top left section of the back panel. The renders strengthen the claim of the said camera sensor arrangement and reveal the positioning of each sensor. 

The rear camera setup can be divided into two separate modules. The primary/bigger cutout houses the Primary camera sensor, the wide angle lens and a Telephoto lens. On the other hand, the smaller module accommodates the LED flash, the ToF (Time of flight) sensor and the Flood illuminator aka flash. Notably, the renders lack the presence of a heart rate sensor on the rear panel, indicating that that the Note 10 will do away with it similar to the Galaxy S10 5G.

A deeper insight into other renders indicates that the Galaxy Note 10 will feature a punch hole display similar to the Galaxy S10 lineup. However, unlike the S10 series smartphones, the Note 10 will have a centrally placed notch, which is yet to be observed on any punch hole display . Besides the visionary look, this feature will allow for an increased screen-to-body ratio. Furthermore, leaks reveal that the flagship smartphone will retain the headphone jack, which may serve as a relief to potential customers. Although there is no official news regarding the launch date of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the device is rumoured to launch in the month of August 2019. 

In the month of February 2019, Samsung launched its latest flagship lineup the Galaxy S10 which incorporates four smartphones, the Galaxy S10e, the standard Galaxy S10, the Galaxy S10+ and the Galaxy s10 5G. In addition to the previously launched devices, the company is expected to launch the Note 10 series of flagship smartphones which will succeed the Galaxy Note 9 from yesteryear.

Unlike previous generations, the company will reportedly launch two smartphones in the upcoming line up which will be the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 10 Pro. Even though the launch of both the smartphones is distant, one key detail about the Note 10 Pro has surfaced online. According to a listing on the consumer agency of Korea, the former will pack a large 4,500 mAh battery which is a notable upgrade over its predecessor which has a 4,000 mAh battery. The leak is most likely to turn out true as the details printed on the battery match the model number of the Galaxy Note 10. The battery carries the model number SM-N975 which is comparable to Galaxy Note 9’s SM-N965.

The source does not reveal any other information about the Galaxy Note 10 smartphones but those can easily be derived from the Galaxy S10 lineup. As the Galaxy S smartphones and the Galaxy Note smartphones share a lot of features except for a larger battery, larger display and the support for a stylus. 

Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Pro Features

Both the smartphones will either be kitted with the Exynos 9820 SoC or the Snapdragon 855 SoC which depends on the region they are sold in. Like the S10 and S10+, they will feature a single or double selfie cameras which will be housed in a hole punch in the display. In terms of the rear camera, the Galaxy Note 10 is rumoured to feature triple rear cameras while the Note 10 Pro is rumoured to feature quad rear cameras.

Additionally, both the smartphones are likely to feature and in display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Similar to the Galaxy S10 smartphones, the Galaxy Note 10 and the Note 10 Pro will be offered in three storage variants which include 128 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. The smartphone duo is also expected to feature wireless charging technology. Conclusively, precise details of the devices will only be made available at the time of their official launch.

Even though Samsung has not yet revealed the launch date of upcoming smartphones, they are likely to be unveiled in the month of August of this year. 

Samsung is already working on its second flagship smartphone for the year 2019, the Galaxy Note 10. As per reports, the device will sport a Quad rear Camera setup. The device has the model number SM-N975F and upon launch, it will be Samsung’s second major smartphone in 2019 after the Galaxy S10 5G.  

Speculations And Rumours

Rumours have been around regarding Samsung rebranding its lineup later in 2019. Because of the same reason, it can’t be confirmed whether the device will be called the Note 10, but it will surely succeed the Note 9 which was released in the year 2018. The model number with the digit ‘5’ is unusual and off-track for Samsung phones, which usually have their model numbers ending with ‘0’. This may imply that the device may launch with a 5G variant alongside a 4G LTE model.

The company is a strong player when it comes to smartphone cameras, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is expected to bring some innovative camera features to the table. The device may run on the Exynos 9820 or Snapdragon 855, which are the flagship chipsets in the smartphone arena right now. It will supposedly feature an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which was first introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+.

Expected Features

The Galaxy Note 10 is expected to have an Infinity-O display which will allow Samsung to pack a high screen to body ratio display in a compact chassis. It is also reported to have a new and improved S Pen stylus. A patent granted to Samsung exhibits a stylus that has an inbuilt camera with optical zoom capability.

All the leaks and rumours about the upcoming device will only be cleared once the company officially announces the device. Nevertheless, we will have to wait patiently as the Note 10 is unlikely t launch before the second half of the year.
