Striking a perfect balance of power and pocketability, the Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+ pack an array of\u00a0bar-raising<\/a>\u00a0performance technologies and productivity tools into a slim, nearly bezel-less design that\u2019s as stunning as the devices are powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yun-je Kang, Senior Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics\u2019 Design Team, summed up the philosophy behind the flagships\u2019 design. \u201cThese days, our smartphones are always in our hands, and they\u2019re becoming items that express our individuality and preferences,\u201d said Kang. \u201cFrom the beginning, we worked hard to achieve a design that reflected a deep understanding of how consumers use their smartphones today.\u201d <\/span>Let\u2019s examine how Samsung optimized the Galaxy Note10\u2019s form factor to offer Millennial and Gen Z users a more immersive and productive smartphone experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleek and Slim, with an All-New S Pen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note10 features a streamlined form that\u2019s comfortable to grasp and looks as if it were chiseled from a single piece of glass. Simple but solid, the smartphones\u2019 monolith-like frame supports a nearly bezel-less display, which offers multitasking Note users more room to do what they do best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The smartphones\u2019 brilliant Cinematic Infinity Display gracefully flows over the edges, blurring the line between body and display. Centered at the top is the in-display cutout for the front-facing camera. In addition to lending the screen a balanced aesthetic, the lens\u2019s placement opens the door for users to enjoy a wide range of fun and inventive wallpaper designs that utilize the camera in creative ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the Note series\u2019 signature feature, the S Pen, has been updated with a redesign and a slew of convenient enhancements, including support for multiple hues in Samsung Notes. Now, when using Samsung\u2019s powerful notetaking app, users can easily save a preferred pen color and style as their favorite pen, load it with the touch of the S Pen\u2019s button, and start writing and drawing to their heart\u2019s content. Moreover, the S Pen\u2019s seamless integration into the Galaxy Note10\u2019s body enhances the devices\u2019 unibody aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The S Pen itself is comfortable in the hand, and an absolute pleasure to use. Samsung eliminated as many unnecessary elements as possible when refining the S Pen\u2019s design, resulting in a sleek and sophisticated form. The S Pen\u2019s Samsung logo and metallic section \u2013 fixtures of previous S Pens\u2019 designs \u2013 have also been removed to enhance the tool\u2019s elegant aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make users\u2019 experience even more satisfying, Samsung also equipped the new S Pen with the ability to recreate the actual sounds that pens and other utensils make when writing or drawing. So scribbling a note on the Galaxy Note10\u2019s display sounds just like scribbling on paper. And each time the user places the S Pen back in their device, they\u2019ll hear a slight click, like the sound that a cap makes when it\u2019s placed on a pen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>More Choices and Colors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The introduction of the 6.3-inch Galaxy Note10 and the 6.8-inch Galaxy Note10+ marks the first time that a Galaxy Note will be available in two sizes. Offering the newest Note in a compact form factor \u2013 alongside a model similar in size to previous editions \u2013 enables smartphone users who prefer a smaller screen to experience the signature Note features that make these devices so special.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note10\u2019s gorgeous design is complemented by a selection of three likewise stunning color options: Aura Glow, Aura White, and Aura Black. The latter two hues are exquisite in their luster, as is the iridescent Aura Glow, which reflects a rainbow of colors depending on the angle of the light, in what amounts to an eye-catching visualization of the smartphones\u2019 ability to streamline a wide range of user interests. Additional color options \u2013 available in select markets \u2013 include the equally beautiful Aura Red, Aura Pink and Aura Blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

To offer users more ways to make their smartphone their own, the Galaxy Note10 also features a wide-ranging accessory selection that includes stylish covers of various colors and materials. Choose the Clear View cover for a practical look, or the Leather Cover for a more classic aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Packaging That Puts the Planet First<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When developing new Galaxy devices, Samsung prioritizes enhancements that make its powerful innovations simpler and more sustainable. Sustainability has never been more important to consumers \u2013 particularly Millennials. In fact, according to a recent\u00a0Nielsen<\/a>\u00a0report, up to 73 percent of Millennials say they\u2019d be willing to pay extra for sustainable goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the\u00a0Galaxy S10\u00a0before it, the Galaxy Note10 features simple, eco-friendly packaging that utilizes sustainable materials in place of plastics and vinyl, and was designed with a focus on consuming fewer resources. Now, each smartphone and its components are fitted into a sturdy pulp mold rather than being packaged separately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other environmentally friendly adjustments include Samsung\u2019s decisions to use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified paper when producing the Galaxy Note10\u2019s packaging and manuals, replace plastic ties with paper alternatives, and utilize 20 percent recycled plastic when crafting the devices\u2019 chargers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to utilizing more environmentally friendly materials in its products and packaging, Samsung continues to explore innovative ways to reduce electronics waste through initiatives like the\u00a0Galaxy Upcycling\u00a0program. By championing the benefits of upcycling, which involves finding new and useful applications for old technology, the company\u2019s efforts are not only helping to save more devices from ending up in landfills; they\u2019re also spurring the development of dynamic technologies with potential applications in the worlds of healthcare, education and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Kang explained, sustainability remains a guiding focus when designing new Galaxy innovations. \u201cSustainability is an important value in Galaxy device design,\u201d said Kang. \u201cGoing forward, Samsung will continue to pursue sustainable innovation \u2013 not only by simplifying products\u2019 designs, but also by removing unnecessary elements, and by replacing materials with more eco-friendly alternatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
