Why the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ is my main phone

Why the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ is my main phone

If you know me personally, I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ for a while now and I’m always bringing it with me despite reviewing a lot of smartphones right now. Why? Well, it’s not a perfect smartphone that ticks the boxes of all the things that I want on a smartphone but the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ is definitely the best smartphone for me right now. Here’s why.

Freakin 6.8-inch display

The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ got a massive 6.8-inch display and a few years ago, that screen size is already considered as a tablet. But with the Samsung Galaxy Note10+, we got here a curved display that I find annoying sometimes but it does look really good and really crisp. The display of the smartphone is the best in the industry and working and typing on the smartphone feel like a breeze because of its size.

S-Pen for productivity

One of the best reasons to get the Samsung Galaxy Note series is the S-Pen and with the Samsung Galaxy Note10+, you can use it for different purposes that really helps me in productivity. For example, in planning my base in Minecraft, I can use the S-Pen for annotations and also in my presentations and do some quick notes whenever I need to.

Long battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Packs a 4300mAh battery and despite that, the smartphone was able to last most of the time a day of usage without any powerbanks. Even if I watch a lot of videos during my plane ride to Japan and also use Google maps the whole time, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ was still able to last up to a whole day of usage. So yeah, no power banks, no problem.

I love playing on the large display

This might be redundant to what I’ve said earlier but the Samsung Galaxy Note10+’s display is something that I really love for gaming not just because of the vivid colors and the crisp display but also because of the large display. However, it’s a bit annoying because of the curved display, but man, I love playing on the smartphone and it’s even cooler now compared to most Exynos smartphones that I’ve reviewed before.

All around camera

The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ might not have some of the features that other smartphones have in terms of camera like the more than 10x zooming but using it sometimes as my camera for covering events is something that I definitely love on the smartphone.

Those are just some of the things why I like using the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ as my main phone. It may not be a perfect smartphone but it does its job well as it fits my needs on a smartphone.

Google updates the Filipino language by adding Cebuano on World Lens and Indigenous scripts on Gboard

To celebrate the end of the National Language Month or Buwan ng Wika, Google made exciting updates for Translate and Gboard. 

Cebuano is now available on Word Lens, a feature within the Google Translate app that gives an instant camera translation. It works by simply holding one’s phone in front of a word in a foreign language, and its translation overlays on the screen. The newly expanded 88 source languages including Cebuano can now be translated into more than 100 languages.

Baybayin, one of our own unique indigenous writing systems along with three others (Buhid, Hanunuo and Tagbanua) are now added by Google on Gboard for Android. This move is to help preserve the local languages and scripts following the analysis where it states that 175 of the 185 officially listed Philippine languages are indigenous, and 11 are soon to vanish. Gboard is an app that enhances the keyboard of messaging apps and devices on many aspects such as speed and accuracy Glide Typing, voice typing and so much more. Other features include search and send information, GIFs, emoji and more. 

“At Google, we are committed to helping preserve the country’s local languages and scripts through relevant technology. Adding more Filipino languages and scripts on helpful products like Translate and Gboard is one of many ways we show this commitment,” said Gabby Roxas, Marketing Head, Google Philippines. 

Roxas continued, “To keep our indigenous languages alive, it is important that we try to continue using them. Today, where typing on our smartphones is a common behavior, making more native scripts available on Gboard will play a vital role in helping preserve them.”

At Google Philippines, it was celebrated with a discussion about how technology can help in preserving our local languages and culture. Taipan Lucero, a Baybayin advocate and calligraphist is also present where he delivered a presentation on the history of Baybayin, and led a workshop on basic Baybayin writing.

OnePlus 7T Revealed – The Cheapest 90Hz Phone

DISPLAY

OnePlus announced as early as September that the 7T will be having 90Hz display, similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro. The OnePlus 7T uses a 6.55″ FullHD AMOLED Display with HDR 10+ certification. It also has the same drop dewdrop notch found on the previous OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 6T devices.

TRIPLE CAMERA

 

Apple’s camera design on the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max received mixed responses from fans and enthusiast. It’s uncommon to see a square housing triple cameras where it could’ve been a traditional circular rectangle.
