Samsung executives have long poked fun at rivals
for ditching the headphone jack in smartphones.
With the new Galaxy Note 10, the company will
now be doing exactly the same thing.
The Note 10, announced, squeezes in more
battery power and other goodies, but at the cost
of the familiar old jack. So now the company is
doing an about-face and declaring that many
people use wireless headphones anyway.
Samsung, which for years has pushed bigger
and bigger displays, is also introducing a smaller
version of the Note for those who think phones
have just gotten too big.
The new Note models will come out Aug.



  1. The main model is being called the Note
    10 Plus and will have a display measuring
    6.8 inches diagonally. Though the display is
    bigger, the overall size is about the same as
    last year’s 6.4-inch Note 9. To accomplish that,
    Samsung shrank down even more of the bezel
    surrounding the display.
    The smaller, 6.3-inch version will be called the
    Note 10 and will sell for almost $950, or $150
    less than the Plus. It’s designed for those who
    want the Note’s signature stylus without its
    once-signature size.
    “You hit a certain point where you can’t get
    much bigger without being physically too
    large to hold,” Technalysis Research analyst Bob
    O’Donnell said. “That’s the challenge they are
    running into.”
