11 Reasons to Wait for the Galaxy Note 10 & 5 Reasons Not To

Wait for Better Performance

We don't have a full spec sheet yet, but you can expect the company to make significant upgrades to the rest of the Note's hardware.

The company will almost certainly include a new processor (a new Exynos chip for some markets and an updated Snapdragon chip for others) which could lead to even better performance in key areas like battery life and gaming. 

A benchmark score shows one version of the Note 10 rocking an Exynos 9825 processor and a whopping 12GB of RAM. A more recent benchmark confirms the presence of Samsung's in-house Exynos 9825.

Samsung is now mass producing 12GB of RAM ahead of the Note 10's launch so this feature appears likely. The regular Note 10 model will reportedly have 8GB of RAM. 

As for the U.S. bound version of the Note 10, it might be powered by the same Snapdragon 855 processor  found in the Galaxy S10.

There's also chatter about Samsung using the newer Snapdragon 855 Plus chip so this is up in the air at this point.  

The standard 4G-version of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+ looks like it will have a bigger battery than the Galaxy Note 9. 

A filing at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology and a leak from Ice Universe confirms a 4,500 mAh battery on board the SM-N975. This is 500 mAh bigger than the battery on board the Galaxy Note 9. 

The cheaper Galaxy Note 10 will reportedly have a smaller 3,400 mAh battery which is a bit concerning. This would be 600 mAh smaller than the Note 9's battery.

Other battery rumors peg the Galaxy Note 10 as having a 3,600 mAh battery and the Galaxy Note 10+ as having a 4,300 mAh battery. 

Note 10 teasers are hinting at a lot firepower so if you want a ton of horsepower on your next phone, think about hanging around. 

If you want or need a ton of storage on board your next phone, you'll also want to think about waiting for the Galaxy Note 10. 

According to the latest leaks, the Galaxy Note 10 5G will feature three storage options: 256GB, 512GB, and a whopping 1TB option. This would be a step up from the Galaxy S10 5G which only comes in 256GB and 512GB formats. 

It's also worth noting that the Galaxy S10 5G doesn't have a microSD slot so there's a chance the Galaxy Note 10 5G doesn't either. 

It's unclear how much storage the LTE version of the Galaxy Note 10 will have but you can expect at least two options.

Samsung's big screen Galaxy S10+ features three options (128GB, 512GB, 1TB) along with a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
