The “regular” Galaxy Note 10 sure looks gorgeous in a silver color with a gradient effect

High-end smartphone prices have been getting a little out of hand lately, leading us to expect some big numbers for the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 and Note10+. After all, the radical redesign of Samsung’s pen-wielding flagship stopped being a secret a while ago, and if the Galaxy Note 9 started at a whopping $1,000, it felt safe to assume its substantially upgraded sequel would cost significantly more in an entry-level configuration.

The “regular” Galaxy Note 10 might cost $1,000 with 256GB storage

It’s funny, but what seemed pretty much inconceivable just a few years ago is now beginning to sound, dare we say it, affordable. Namely, according to Quandt, European retailers are currently anticipating a €999 tag for a 6.3-inch or so Samsung Galaxy Note 10 with an Infinity-O display, centered “hole-punch” front-facing camera, a triple rear shooter setup, and perhaps most intriguingly, a full 256 gigs of local digital hoarding room.

The Galaxy Note 10+ will be $150 costlier

If Roland Quandt is correct and the current expectations of European retailers come to fruition, the 6.7-inch or so Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus will fetch €1,150 on the old continent, which is likely to translate to $1,150 in the US. Once again, that may sound excessive, but we’re talking about an even larger Android powerhouse here with the same top-notch specifications in tow as the standard Note 10 and presumably a few important upgrades.

There are some extra sensors on the back of the Note 10+ that could partly justify the $150 premium

A bigger battery is obviously guaranteed, although given the bigger screen, it might not technically constitute an improvement in terms of running time between charges. That leaves us expecting crucial differences between the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus in imaging features, even though the two variants are tipped to share the same number of rear-facing cameras.
