Please note: In September 2019, we updated the DXOMARK Mobile test protocol to cover ultra-wide-angle performance and have renamed the protocol DXOMARK Camera. We also expanded our low-light testing and created the new Night sub-score, which incorporates the previous Flash score. We have retested this device using the new Wide and Night test protocols and updated this review. The updated elements and scores are right at the top; you can still find the original review further down the page. For more information, please see the articles about our new Wide and Night test protocols.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is the South Korean manufacturer’s latest flagship smartphone, combining the processing power of the Exynos 9825 chipset with a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display and 12Gb of RAM. The rear camera comes with four sensors: a standard 26mm primary camera, a 13mm ultra-wide camera, a 52mm tele-lens, and a dedicated Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor for depth estimation in Portrait mode. Read on to find out how the Note 10+ 5G performed in our new Wide and Night
tests, as well as in our other test categories.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G achieves the highest scores among devices tested so far for both of our new Wide and Night test categories, thereby increasing its Photo score by 8 points and pushing its DXOMARK Camera overall score to a record high 117 points, up from 113. This means that it’s still ahead of the S10 5G and Huawei P30 Pro by one point in our updated ranking.
The Samsung’s wide-angle camera delivers the best performance we have seen in outdoor conditions, and is among the best for indoor lighting. At 12mm equivalent, it covers a wider field of view than most of its direct competitors and still manages to produce good image quality across the entire wide zoom range up to 20mm equivalent. Exposure, color, and detail are good in most conditions, and it controls distortion well. Some other artifacts, however, including ringing and chromatic aberrations, can be visible in some situations.
At 59 points (the best score in our new Night test), the Note 10+ 5G is tied with its cousin S10 5G and the Huawei P30 Pro at the top spot. The Samsung delivers a standout performance with the flash forced on, but images taken in flash-auto and flash-off modes generally show good exposure as well. There’s room for improvement in terms of detail and noise, however. The device offers a dedicated Night mode which can achieve better exposures than the default shooting mode, but is not an improvement in terms of image detail.
