It's that time of the year when Samsung is all set to launch its big boy globally at its 'Unpacked' event in New York.
Even though Samsung has scheduled the unveiling of its upcoming flagship- the Galaxy Note 10 on August 7, the leaks on the internet have (whether in parts or whole) given us a clear idea from what we can expect from this device.
Here's everything we know so far about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 10.

Rumours have hinted that the Galaxy Note 10 will be coming in three different variants- the standard Note 10, the Note 10+ and a 5G variant of the Note 10. The standard variant will feature a 6.3-inch display whereas the Note 10+ will get a 6.8-inch display. The devices are expected to rock QHD resolutions. The device will also get curved edges as seen on Samsung flagships. What's more interesting about the display is that it's expected to feature a punch-hole front camera, right in the top-centre section of the display.
According to the leaked renders and images, the device is retaining the boxy aesthetics, with slight curves around the edges. As mentioned earlier, it's using a punch-hole display with minimal bezels around the edges. The renders also reveal that Samsung has gone ahead and done some crucial changes with its button placement. The power button now sits on the left of the device, below the volume rocker. Also what's missing from the phone is the Bixby button.

The device is expected to trigger Bixby by long-pressing the power button, similar to calling Siri on the iPhone. The phone might also get rid of the headphone jack. Various leaks have also revealed the colours that the device is expected to come in, including Rose, Prism White Obsidian Black and various gradient colours.?
Coming to the internals, leaks tell us that the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus will share similar hardware under the hood. The US and Chinese variants are expected to get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor paired with Adreno 640GPU, whereas the rest of the world will get Samsung's homegrown Exynos 9825 octa-core processor with Mali-G76 MP12 GPU. The device is expected to get up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage space, depending on the variant. The device is expeted to be powered by a 4300mAh battery with support for wireless charging as well as 25W fast charging.?
While both the Galaxy Note 10 and the Note 10+ are expected to get three cameras at the back, the Note 10+ is expected to get an additional ToF or Time of Flight sensor at the back for better object location tracking and delivering better images. The three standard cameras include a 12-megapixel with variable aperture, a second 12-megapixel telephoto shooter and a third 16-megapixel ultra-wide shooter. The punch hole camera in the front is expected to sport a 10-megapixel shooter for selfies.?
While there hasn't been an official announcement for the pricing of the device yet, Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are expected to go on sale starting August 23 with the base model starting at a price tag of Rs 1,100 which is approximately Rs 76,000. The pricing in India may vary though.
