The rear cameras are four in total, the main sensor being 12MP with two apertures (f/1.5 and f/2.4), the secondary 16MP with an ultra-wide lens, the third 12MP with a telephoto lens and the last with ToF.
As far as the processor is concerned, the Note10+ 4G has the Exynos 9825, while the Note10+ 5G has the Snapdragon 855+. Recently both were evaluated by Geekbench, which showed that the chipset developed by Samsung is a little better than Qualcomm's.
The two models also have a 4300 mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging, which allows the device to be fully charged in 30 minutes.

A S Pen
A great differential of Samsung's new releases are its S Pens. Both Note10 and Note10+ have the stylus, which this time has its own hardware!
This means that the user can perform various functions with the S Pen without touching the smartphone. Samsung has detailed that it will be possible to make movements in the air with the pen that are automatically identified by the cell phone. This includes taking pictures and controlling various apps.
For photos, you can open the camera app, zoom, choose the filter and even switch between the front and rear sensors for the S Pen.
Samsung also announced a partnership with YouTube, which allows users to play, pause, pass and even increase or decrease the sound of videos also with the S Pen.
Finally, the company reported that the pen battery lasts longer than the conventional one.
Videos with photo features
Note10 and Note10+ are full of new tools especially for videos. According to Samsung, the company has taken the quality of the photos to the recordings - as well as numerous features.
This means that now users can make videos with the bokeh effect - the one that blurs the background of the images -, they can also make them much more stable than on the Note 9 and can not only zoom in on the image, but also on the sound. That is, if a person wants the video to record mainly the sound of a certain object, just focus on it and the cell phone automatically starts to capture its sound with greater focus.
Finally, the company still showed its Scanner 3D, which allows the user to scan objects and make videos with them - at the event, a stuffed animal was used as an example. Not only was the object scanned, it also copied people's movements that were filmed by the camera. In addition, it is possible to print on 3D printers what was scanned by cell phone. Shocking!
Note10 for games
The Note10 is also aimed at gamers! According to Samsung, both the Note10 and Note10+ have some tools to enhance the gamer experience.
The first of them uses artificial intelligence to identify which adjustments can be made to the game to improve the user experience. This includes video and sound, for example, in addition to lower energy consumption.
The second is a tool that cools the phone when it gets too hot. Samsung did not specify how this is done.
Finally, the Discord: app that allows users who own Note10 or Note10+ to chat while gaming.
Ufa! That's a lot of news for one event. The pre-sale of the Note10 line starts tomorrow, while official sales will start in 23 August.
