Behind closed doors: Our Galaxy Note 10 wishlist

-

As we get closer to the Galaxy Note 10 launch, there's been a lot of discussion in the SamMobile team about what we'd like to see on on the next Note flagship. Quite a few of us are ardent Note fans, so a new Note device gets us more excited than a Galaxy S flagship, and the Note 10 has been especially interesting because of how there have been so many conflicting leaks and rumors that make it hard to be sure exactly what Samsung has in store for us.

As we wait for some conclusive information on what the Galaxy Note 10 will bring–or not bring–to the table, we decided to make a wishlist about what it is we're looking forward to on Samsung's upcoming flagship and share it with you, our readers. And we'd love to know what you are hoping to see on the Galaxy Note 10, so don't forget to share your thoughts down in the comments section!

Since I didn't switch to the Galaxy S10 from my Galaxy Note 9, even the evolutionary changes in the Galaxy Note 10 will be welcomed with open arms by customers like me. Samsung introduced some great tech with the Galaxy S10, such as the Time-of-Flight sensor (on the 5G model), the ultra-wide angle camera, reverse wireless charging and more. I want all of that on the Galaxy Note 10 and there's little reason to believe that it won't get all those features.

Other than that, my wishlist for the Galaxy Note 10 is quite straightforward. I'd like to see bigger batteries on both models in addition to faster charging speeds. There has been talk of both 25W and 45W charging, and one can hope that Samsung would opt for the latter. And it may not get Samsung's 64-megapixel camera sensor, I would definitely like to see the three-stage variable aperture being introduced with the Galaxy Note 10.

Samsung has introduced significant camera improvements with previous Galaxy Note handsets. There's no reason why it shouldn't blaze a new trail in the variable aperture department for smartphones with the Galaxy Note 10. There's a possibility that the Galaxy Note 10 may ditch the conventional earpiece for Sound on Display technology. One can only wish that it doesn't sound as bad and hollow as it does on some of Samsung's other devices.

A big battery was the one feature I had wanted on the Galaxy Note 9, and Samsung delivered. With the Galaxy S10, I looked forward to an ultra-wide camera along with a big battery, and Samsung obliged once again, putting a 4,100 mAh battery on the S10+ and adding an ultra-wide sensor on the back of all three Galaxy S10 models. And now, frankly, there's nothing important missing on Samsung's flagship phones as far as my needs are concerned.

But when it comes to the features I wish to see on the Galaxy Note 10, I'd say it's faster charging. 25W fast charging would be fine in my opinion, even though having 45W charging would be even better. Samsung should have made 25W charging the default on all Galaxy S10 models instead of just the 5G variant, but hey, the company needed to hold back some features for the next flagship, didn't it?

With the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S10, Samsung pushed its flagships so close to perfection that it is unrealistic to expect anything path breaking from the Note 10. The new Note models will most probably be incremental updates and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I say "models" because Samsung is rumoured to launch regular and Pro versions of the Note 10. As someone who never really liked curved displays, I hope the former comes with a flat screen without missing too much in other departments.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to get excited about new Note smartphones as the Plus variants of the Galaxy S flagships have taken away some of their appeal with big displays and large batteries. I am hoping the Galaxy Fold lineup will eventually (in the next couple of years?) replace the Galaxy Note series and bring back some lost excitement. Afterall, a foldable smartphone with stylus functionality is a match made in heaven and just makes a lot of sense.

I'm quite happy with what my Galaxy Note 9 offers, and I hope the Note 10 will keep all of that, especially stereo speakers. I'm wondering if stereo sound is possible with Sound On Display technology, which puts the earpiece under the display. A headphone jack would be nice as well, although it's not a must have for me thanks to the excellent Bose QC35-II wireless headphones that I own. And like the Note 9, I want the Galaxy Note 10 to have remote functionality on the S Pen and a 512GB storage option, preferably with microSD expansion. Finally, I'm hoping for an improved Night mode for the camera compared to the Galaxy S10 lineup.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
