One of the biggest features of the Note10 is its "state of the art" camera system. Samsung overhauled its video tools for this phone. And one of the cooler features is its "Zoom-In Mic," which can amplify audio and focus on the sound happening in the frame. At the same time, it pushes out background noise, which will be useful for concerts or small gigs.

This audio feature is part of Samsung's new suite of "Premium Video Technology" or what can be called the company's "pro-grade video" editing tools. Some of the other new video tools include Live Focus Video, which lets you blur the background and draw focus on the video's primary subject; and Super Steady stabilization feature, which is available when filming in Hyperlapse mode.

Samsung supersizes Note10 series, launches 2 models

Samsung officially unveiled the newest iteration of the Galaxy Note series. The Galaxy Note10 now comes in two models: the Note10 and the Note10+. The latter is its biggest yet, with a 6.8-inch QHD screen. It's also the first Note to get two variants. The regular size isn't such a small device either, with its 6.3-inch Full HD display. Like the Note devices that came before it, both have S Pen stylus, which can now convert handwriting to digital text and supports up to six gestures to let you control the phone using the stylus.

Both devices run on either Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9825 chipsets. Different regions get different chipsets. Both come with 256GB storage as standard and with 512GB version available. The Note10 has 8GB of RAM as a standard and 12GB in its 5G version (which won't be available here), while the Note10+ gets 12GB of RAM as its standard.
