My Choice

If I were to choose between these two phones, I would personally go with the Samsung Galaxy Note10+. Here's why:

  • Display: As someone who appreciates a great visual experience, the AMOLED screen with its higher resolution, superior brightness, and vibrant colors, coupled with better outdoor visibility is a clear winner for me. The color richness and sharpness would be perfect for my needs.
  • Performance: I am a user who usually multi-tasks a lot and also engages with resource heavy applications and games. For this reason, the greater RAM, a more powerful processor, coupled with the higher benchmark score, means I can carry out my tasks smoothly.
  • Camera: I also engage with high-quality video and photography and the Note10+ would be ideal for my needs. The advanced stabilization, along with the ToF sensor and the high-resolution wide angle lens make this device versatile and reliable.
  • Features: I also value the 45W fast charging, along with reverse charging and wireless charging capabilities. The superior audio also enhances my multimedia consumption, which is a plus.

While the Realme 6 Pro offers a smoother refresh rate and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor which may be preferred by others, the superior screen, processing power and versatile camera system of the Note10+ is better tailored to my user needs and preferences.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific needs and priorities of the individual user. If cost and smoothness of the screen is a priority, the Realme 6 Pro is an excellent choice. For those who value the best visual experience and the most powerful performance, the Note10+ is likely the better pick.
