WINNER Samsung Galaxy Note10+

BEST SMARTPHONE

This year, the best overall smartphone goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ because it has a feature set that other phones struggle to match. Overall, we feel it's the strongest all-rounder phone, is thoughtfully designed, brimming with features and performance and even quite competitively priced.

Its 6.8-inch AMOLED display is expansive, sharp, vibrant, and just downright gorgeous. You can't help but be amazed the first time you lay eyes on it. Its cameras get new feature capabilities focused on improving video shooting performance such as Live Focus Video, Zoomin Mic, and enhanced screen recording capabilities such as PiP.

Powered by Samsung's Exynos 9825 processor, the Note10+ also offers good general performance. The S Pen is as useful as ever and continues to be one of the defining features of Samsung's Note series. It also makes it one of the rare few phones to come with an integrated stylus whose functionality improves yearon-year.
