South Korean technology company’s latest smartphone may be difficult to fault ... but there are 9 good reasons why the older alternative is a better bet, writes Dave Smith
Samsung’s newest, most luxurious smartphone to date – the Galaxy Note 10 – is now available.
However, if you are in the market for a Samsung phone, you have a lot from which to choose.
Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled four versions of its Galaxy S10 smartphone, which is its flagship device for the year. The cheapest model, the Galaxy S10e, starts at US$750; we also think that is the phone worth buying for most people.
Meanwhile, the regular Galaxy S10 starts from US$900, the larger S10 Plus from US$1,000, and the 5G-enabled S10 from US$1,300.
Samsung’s latest phone, the Galaxy Note 10, is the company’s latest and greatest.
