Whenever a new Samsung flagship launches, it makes headlines. There are always a couple of “Best” titles. This time with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, the company seems to be on a roll! It took the lead on DxOMark camera scores with the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, leaving the Huawei P30 Pro behind. And in addition to that, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus now is the best display on a smartphone, according to DisplayMate.

Now, this comes as a no surprise. Because Samsung’s displays on flagships go uncontested. They’re usually on the top of their game in displays, so, it might not be a very big deal. After all, the Samsung Galaxy S10 also got the same designation! But with the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, it broke/set 13 Display performance records! And that…is well, astonishing. And with that, the Note 10 Plus also gets the DisplayMate A+ rating, which, the OnePlus 7 Pro also got.

But having “the best smartphone display” is better than the highest rating, too. And with DisplayMate’s in-depth display shoot-out, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus managed to break 13 performance records!

One of them is the peak brightness on a smartphone display. And with 1308 nits of peak brightness, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus becomes the brightest ever! It is actually 25% brighter than the Galaxy Note 9. Plus, it is also the phone with the lowest screen reflectance of 4.3%. So, I can’t think of any situation when you cannot read the display on that phone, like…ever!

Also, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus takes the cake in terms of color accuracy as well! This phone is now, one of the first phones to cover 100% of the DCI-P3 Color Gamut coverage. In addition, the phone also has a very high image contrast accuracy and intensity scale accuracy. And that too is in Normal mode. In Vivid mode, which tweaks the saturation and contrast making for a more vibrant display, the phone hits a 113% of DCI-P3 and a 114% sRGB! DisplayMate rates it as “Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect”, which is what they also said about the Galaxy S10!

Furthermore, the Infinity-O display on the Note 10 has improved further. According to them, the punch-hole in the center takes only 0.15% of the total display area, which is about 25% less than that of the Galaxy S10. Maybe not very significant, but it is an improvement nonetheless. Another improvement is on its Blue Light filters. The Note 10 Plus reduces the harmful light by 37.5% more than the Galaxy Note 9.

All of this was possible because Samsung focused on improving picture quality and color accuracy this time. As it already had achieved near perfection in terms of hardware, this decision seems plausible. And it also worked out for them, it seems. The display is the one part that users mostly interact with, and it is one of the prime factors to consider if you’re going to spend over $1000 on a smartphone. So, Note 10 seems in the right for investing to make the best display possible!

DxOMark is the Holy Grail of camera scores and rankings. Every smartphone company, as well as ourselves, look up to DxOMark to find out which smartphone has the best camera. DxOMark tests comprise of scientific tests of lenses, sensors, image quality, video quality, number of lenses, camera features, etc. And so, the scores and rankings become a benchmark for some while buying new smartphones. And the latest development in the DxOMark leaderboard brings the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G onto first place!

It had been a while since a Samsung smartphone made to the top of the list. It was the Huawei P30 Pro that was the leader for quite some time. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus 5G, later, shared the same spot, but could not take down the P30 Pro. But now, the tables have turned in Samsung’s favor. It was obvious that the Galaxy Note 10 would definitely pack some great artillery in the camera section. But now, it just got confirmed.

The Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G earned a total score of 113 for the rear cameras and 99 for the selfie camera. In contrast, the Huawei P30 Pro has a score of 112 for the rear but only 89 for the front camera. So, even though the primary score lead looks thin, the front camera score has quite the gap.

It’s not that the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G cameras are any different than the regular Note 10 Plus. But DxOMark tests generally require the top-end phone, which is the 5G variant of the Note 10 Plus. So, that’s plausible.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus packs a Quad-camera setup at the back. The setup comprises of a 12 MP primary camera, another 12 MP Telephoto lens, a 16 MP Ultra-wide angle lens and a ToF (Time-of-Flight) Depth Vision sensor. The 5G variant adds an extra ToF sensor. So, you get all kinds of lens you would want in a smartphone camera. The front camera is a 10 MP sensor.

Also, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus lets you take 4K videos @ 60fps and Super Slo-Mo videos @ 960fps as well. In addition to this, the phone is equipped with a Pro-grade camera to shoot videos, meaning you won’t need any extra gear to capture professional-level videos. Features like Live Focus videos and Zoom-In Mic really convince you too. And the Super Stabilization feature works even in Hyperlapse videos!

Furthermore, Galaxy Note 10 Plus also has Edit-On-the-Go features. You can edit your videos directly on the phone itself, without having to connect to your PC! Its native video editor allows you editing functionality right on your phone with things like trimming and transitions. Plus, there are other features including AR Doodle, 3D Scanner, and even Night Mode on the Front Facing camera! And by the looks of all this, it’s doesn’t seem like a surprise that this phone made to the top of the DxOMark list.

Samsung does enjoy the top spot on the DxOMark list currently. But how long will it stay there is the big question. We have other flagship phones dropping in very soon. For instance, Huawei might want its top spot back with its Mate 30 Pro. And of course, the new iPhone XI are to arrive soon as well. And how can we forget the king of smartphone cameras, the Google Pixel 4XL? Let’s wait for the Game of Phones…

The first half of the year, we saw Samsung‘s mid-range series; Galaxy M10, M20, M30, and the M40. Now, the rumors have it that Samsung will soon be launching Galaxy M10s, M20s, M30s, and the M40s; which will be the upgraded versions of the phones of the previous generation. However, a fresh leak reveals that Samsung is work on yet another smartphone of the same series; the Samsung Galaxy M90.

According to sources, the South Korean company has named M90 as model number SM-M905F. As of now, nothing is known about the specifications of the smartphone.

Although, we can claim that the Samsung Galaxy M90 will be exactly the same as the upcoming Galaxy A90. However, the M90 is expected to offer steller specs at an affordable price. The Galaxy A90 is going to have top-notch specs; no doubt. The phone will be fueled by Snapdragon 855 chipset and powered by a 4400 mAh battery. The phone will presumably come with a 6.7-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with an Infinity-U notch. Also, the rumor has it that the phone could come in 4G and 5G versions.

The specs could differ in some places however, as the Galaxy M90 will be a mid-range segment phone. Where things could differ is the processor. Galaxy M90 is likely to house a Snapdragon 730 chipset. A comparatively smaller battery of 4000 mAh; which is also not so bad. Adding to this, the screen could also differ with a hole-punch cutout for the front camera.

So, the Galaxy M90 is going official in October or November; according to reports. But, there is no information if Samsung will be shedding light on Galaxy M50, Galaxy M60, Galaxy M70, and Galaxy M80. Hopefully, we will get more details on M90 as its launch approaches near.

While many think a 64 MP camera on a smartphone is overkill, Samsung has other ideas. In fact, I, personally think they’re overkill as well, but our opinions don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. And so, Samsung brought a piece of earlier news into confirmation. There was word earlier that Xiaomi would launch a 108 MP camera in collaboration with Samsung. And so, Samsung has introduced the camera sensor to the world. It’s called the Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX. A Samsung 108 MP camera… imagine that!

With Realme and Redmi announcing 64 MP cameras, it was obvious that smartphone companies wouldn’t stop stuffing more megapixels into smartphone cameras. Both Realme and Redmi are using Samsung’s ISOCELL cameras, and while Samsung was soon going to jump on the 64 MP camera soon, they’re leading the camera technology, it seems.

Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX Overview

Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX has 0.8-micron pixels, which is about the same size as current 48 MP and 64 MP cameras. And like them, it also uses pixel binning to deliver pictures that are close to 1/4th of the number of megapixels. To be exact, it delivers shots that are comparable to 27 MP 1.6-micron pixel camera. Still, it is higher than what we get currently from smartphone cameras. The current 48 MP and 64 MP sensors also use pixel binning to deliver 12 MP and 16 MP 1.6-micron pixels images respectively.

What this means is the new Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX will probably be more or less similar with the 64MP sensors. However, it also means it will be much, much better in low light settings. It should make for better details and non-existent noise, at least, in theory.

The Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX maintains the same pixel size as the other 48 MP and 64 MP sensors due to the 1/1.33″ sensor size employed by the 108 MP camera sensor. This sensor is larger than Samsung’s 64 MP GW-1 and other 48 MP cameras, which are 1/1.72″ and 1/2″ respectively.

Also, the ISOCEll sensor makes use of Smart ISO technology. It’s able to shoot 6K videos at 30 fps! We’re only getting used to smartphones shooting 4K @60fps currently, but of course, it will soon find its use. However, there is no word on the 960 fps super slow-motion. And since, the 64 MP and 48 MP sensors don’t support the tech, there’s no way to tell.

According to Samsung, they will begin mass production of ISOCELL Bright HMX sensors later this month. So, maybe we’ll be able to see 108 MP cameras before the end of the year. And rumors have it that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will be the first device to sport it too!

However, this technology might have a price… It could even be the reason for phones being expensive when they come out. So, what do you think about this? Would you buy a 108MP smartphone?
