Headphone jack, expandable storage, cameras and software

Back in June, XDA Developer’s TV host and writer, Max Weinbach tweeted about a few details about the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 series. One of Weinbach’s sources got to play around with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus smartphones.

The first thing he told Weinbach was that both the devices will retain the headphone jack and will not remove it like most other premium smartphone manufacturers. He also stated that all the renders floating around the internet are almost perfect.

Samsung will be removing expandable storage support from the non-Pro variant of the Galaxy Note 10. No noticeable software changes have been made and the devices will run Android 9 Pie based One UI. The devices don’t feature a speaker grille on the top and have much smaller bezels.

Both the power button and volume rockers have been placed on the left side. The Galaxy Note 10 will sport a triple camera setup on the back in a vertical orientation, whereas, the Galaxy Note 10 Pro will feature a quad camera setup, with three cameras in a vertical orientation and one sensor located under the flash similar to the Honor 20 Pro. Lastly, both the devices will sport an Infinity-O display with the cameras located on the top centre of the devices.

Back in May, tipster Steve H.McFly, better known as OnLeaks, has confirmed in a tweet that the Galaxy Note 10 series will come with vertical camera setup on the back and a centred hole punch front camera module.

Key features

Yesterday, tipster Evan Blass revealed a few key features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus.

The Galaxy Note 10 will come with 8GB of RAM along with 256GB of internal storage. He did not mention anything about the RAM or storage for the Galaxy Note 10+ except for the fact that it will feature a microSD card slot.
