As you can see, these are two very similar phones under the hood. However, it's worth noting that the Galaxy Note 10 offers water-resistance, wireless charging, and the 10+ has a microSD slot to expand storage. We don't get any of those on the OnePlus 7 Pro, although they're teasing the phone is water-resistant without saying it. Furthermore, while the OnePlus 7 Pro ones comes in 128 or 256GB of storage, Samsung starts at 256 and even offers a 512GB model for those who want it. It's great to finally see a big 4,000 mAh battery in a OnePlus phone, so that's a plus. That's a big deal when the screen is nearly 6.7-inches in size. That said, the bigger Note 10+ has an even larger and longer-lasting 4,300 mAh battery.
Either way, these are fast, powerful and capable devices you'll absolutely love. You'll simply have to decide which screen and notch design you like the most and if those extra features mentioned are worth paying a higher price for the Note 10 or Note 10 Pro. A much higher price. |
