Is the Galaxy Note 10 still worth buying?

It remains a solid stylus phone with a good screen and cameras. Weigh that against its older battery, no headphone jack and no microSD slot compared with newer mid-range phones.

How does it compare with the Note 10+?

The Note 10+ has a larger screen and a bigger battery, plus a microSD slot. The Note 10 is smaller and easier to hold one-handed, but gives up those extras.

Does it have a headphone jack?

No. Samsung dropped the 3.5 mm port on the Note 10, so you use USB-C or wireless headphones.

Can I add a microSD card?

No. The Note 10 has no microSD slot, so the built-in 256 GB is all the storage you get.

Expect the phone and a charger with cable. Check the listing for the exact accessories included, since bundles vary.

Will it work on my carrier?

This model is carrier-locked, so confirm it is set up for your network before buying. An unlocked Note 10 is more flexible if you switch carriers.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 N970U 256GB

The Galaxy Note 10 is Samsung's 2019 flagship phone with a 6.3-inch AMOLED screen, the S Pen stylus, and a triple rear camera. It stands out for its compact size among big-screen phones and for the S Pen's note-taking and remote-shutter tricks. It suits people who want a stylus phone that fits one hand, but its 3,500 mAh battery is smaller than most rivals' and there is no headphone jack or microSD slot. Owners praise the screen, cameras and S Pen; battery life and the missing expandable storage draw complaints.
