Much like Google Maps, Bixby can remember your parking location, if you ask it to do so. Samsung is taking this a step further with the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+. It'll let you save a photo reminder of where you've parked. The virtual assistant will let you take a photo with the camera app, and it'll add it to the location reminder. This gives you that visual cue you need if the coordinates aren't enough for you to remember where you parked your car. At the moment, this feature seems to be exclusive for these two phones.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 tops read/write speeds benchmarks

Samsung's new Galaxy Note10 comes with a lot of bells and whistles to compel people to buy one. One of these features is that it's the first Samsung devices with UFS 3.0 (technically it should've been the Galaxy Fold, but we know what happened to that device.) UFS stands for Universal Flash Storage, which is a commonly used storage for handheld devices. And UFS 3.0 is the latest standard and it's twice as fast as UFS 2.1. It allows for data transfer speeds of up to 23.2Gbps (11.6Gbps in two lanes). And it pits it up against the OnePlus 7 series which also has UFS 3.0 (based on Samsung's tech).  

Read/write benchmarks show that Samsung's UFS 3.0 implementation on the Note10 has beat out the OnePlus 7 Pro. It beat out all the devices with UFS 3.0 in terms of Random write and SQLite, which means in this regard, you're getting the best Samsung has to offer.

Take your PC game with you with the Note10 & PlayGalaxy Link streaming service

Samsung keeps gamers in mind with the Note10 and its new PlayGalaxy Link P2P streaming service. This platform will let you stream PC games to your Note10, allowing you to play while you're on the move. And since it streams the game, it doesn't take up storage on your phone. You can liken this to Valve's Steam Link, which is another PC-to-mobile game streaming service that's available on both Android and iOS.

Samsung pairs this with its AI-based Game Booster system, which optimizes performance and power consumption depending on the game you're playing. The Note10 is equipped with a vapor cooling chamber system to help prevent the phone from getting too warm when you play. And if you want to chat with your friends while you play, the Note10 gets Discord integration via Samsung's game launcher.

Samsung steps up the S Pen's game with the Galaxy Note10

In the early days of the Galaxy Note line, the stylus or the S Pen, as we now know it, was just a stylus. But just like its phones, the S Pen had to evolve. And Samsung's response was to make it seem like a magic wand—on top of it functioning as a stylus. As Engadget calls it, this has been a poorly kept secret. But the S Pen now supports gesture controls, or what Samsung calls Air Actions. It improves on the remote control function of the Note9's S Pen by letting you control the phone with a wave of the stylus.
