I must admit I'm liking the look of the Note 10+ after every new leak.
Today I have seen a few youtube videos showing what looks like a 'speaker' grill on the top of the screen, very small but if this is the case then it's a major plus in my book, this is a sticking point regarding trading in my Note 9 because I love the sound on this thing and to have sound on display on the Note 10+ would definitely be a downgrade in my book.
So my checklist is near fully ticked off.......
1, Faster processor (not essential but a plus)
2, More memory (always important for a lag free experience and more multitasking)
3, Better camera, not by much but when you add the ultra wide lens, TOF lenses then better.
4, Faster storage drive, a big plus and finally a reason to ditch my micro SD card, (at this moment in time I have used 49gb of my 128gb storage capacity, including the contents of my M-SD card)
5, Better IP rating, ok IP69 is better but I've had no issues with my Note 9 being IP68, still a plus!
6, Lovely screen with less bezel, I didn't say better screen because I know smaller bezels aren't for everyone, but I love them! But slightly less ppi though.
7, More S Pen features, always welcome and I'm looking forward to them.
8, Slightly better battery, again always welcome and hopefully more energy efficient with the Exynos 9825 CPU.
9, Possibly an IR Blaster, always a major, major, major go!
The only downsides for me are that there doesn't seem to be an iris sensor, not a big loss but I do use this on the Note 9 and a 3.5mm headphone jack which I've not used since I had the Note 8 but still a loss.
This list is obviously going on what has been leaked and not the official spec, and on that note, another leak I saw today was that the US version of the Note 10+ were using Exynos 9825 and not the SN 855+, only the Verizon Note 10 is using the SD 855. But this seems to have been 'taken back' by Evan Blass!
