Less than 24 hours after official press renders of the Galaxy Note 10+ appeared online, live photos of the flagship which corroborate everything previously seen have now been published by the FCC (via XDA Developers).

Noticeably larger display but barely any difference in size 

Looking at the front of Samsung’s next-gen flagship, today’s photos don’t really showcase anything new. That’s partially because the unit pictured has its display turned off therefore making certain design elements hard to see, but primarily because previous leaks have essentially revealed all that there is to know about the Galaxy Note 10’s design.

As shown by one of the photos, the FCC’s measurements point towards a large display with a diagonal of 170.1mm. This is the equivalent of 6.7-inches and essentially means the screen on the Galaxy Note 10+ is 0.05-inches smaller than initially expected. Naturally, it’s possible the FCC’s measurements are off by around 1mm but considering the regulatory agency’s strictness, this seems extremely unlikely. As such, the Galaxy Note 10+ will carry the same size display as the Galaxy S10 5G.

Lots of cameras on the back

If we take a look at the other images of the flagship, perhaps the most noticeable design element is the redesigned camera setup on the back. For the past couple of generations, Samsung has selected a horizontal layout for its Galaxy Note flagships but this year the company is replacing it with a new vertical setup in the top-left corner.

As revealed previously, the main camera module will contain a total of three sensors. There will reportedly be a primary 12-megapixel snapper paired with a new three-stage variable aperture lens, a 16-megapixel super-wide-angle camera, and another 12-megapixel sensor paired with a telephoto zoom lens that supports 2x optical zoom.

Towards the right side of these sits a separate column of components. Here, Samsung has seemingly implemented an LED flash and an extra Time-of-Flight sensor that should improve portrait photography and also help with AR content.

The headphone jack definitely isn’t there

Like Samsung’s other flagships, the Galaxy Note 10+ features an aluminum frame. The left side of this houses the company’s usual volume rocker alongside a new power key. Previous flagship models featured a Bixby button in this position but Samsung has now ditched this unpopular element entirely. 

Speaking of ditching things, another feature being removed on the Galaxy Note 10+ is the noticeably more popular 3.5mm headphone jack. Samsung has stayed loyal to the port over the years despite other industry leaders shying away from it but it now seems the South Korean giant can no longer justify its presence.

Completing the external setup of the Galaxy Note 10+ is a USB-C port along the bottom and a speaker next to it. Samsung’s trademark S Pen is also present, although the upgrades that are planned for this year aren’t yet clear.
