Renders of the Galaxy Note 10, the suspected upcoming smartphone from Samsung, have appeared. The renders show a phone without a 3.5mm jack and Bixby button, two things that have been on high-end models from Samsung in recent years.
The renders, which OnLeaks made and that 91Mobiles put online, show that the hole in the screen for the front camera is in the center, instead of on the right as with the Galaxy S10 phones. The phone measures 151x72x7.9mm, which makes it relatively small compared to the competition. The phone would have an OLED screen of around 100 square centimeters, with dimensions of around 14.5 x 6.9 cm and a diagonal around 6.3 “.
At the bottom is a slot for the S-Pen, the stylus from which the Note takes its name. In addition, there is the speaker grill and USB-C port. The 3.5mm jack that comes with previous Galaxy Note phones is missing. Samsung also omitted the audio jack with the Galaxy A80, A8s and the unreleased Galaxy Fold, but it is the first time that it is the case with a Note.
Also the Bixby button is not visible on the left side of the case. Since the S8 from 2017, it has been on almost every high-end model from the South Korean manufacturer. Bixby is Samsung’s digital assistant and that button activates the function. The cameras are no longer centered on the back, but vertically centered in the top left corner, wherever they are on iPhones.
Samsung generally announces its Note devices in the summer, with a release at the end of the summer or early fall. In addition to this model, there would also be a Pro version, with a larger screen.
