Samsung Galaxy Note 10 seems like a step down relative to the S10 Plus. Aesthetically, a notch or hole punch in the center for the Note is both uglier and more derivative than their corner hole punch solution from the spring- and without the “added screen space” non-aesthetic type arguments that came into play in notch versus thin bezel camera debates. The solution from the spring Galaxy phones was at least a distinctive look relative to the center notches proliferating from Apple outward, and offered people a choice between one aesthetic and another. It acceded to the cult of the notch by putting a camera into the screen, but offered a Samsung take on the idea rather than a retread. This is just utter capitulation.
