Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 might come in four different versions

Samsung might shake things up in a big way this year with the release of the Galaxy Note 10.

Instead of just one model, the South Korean electronics giant is reportedly planning to launch its stylus-equipped Android smartphone in four different versions.

According to ETNews, which has a semi-accurate track record sharing details on unreleased products, the Galaxy Note 10 might borrow a page from Galaxy S10's playbook.

Like the Galaxy S10, which saw three versions launched simultaneously (S10e, S10, and S10+), and will soon get a 5G version later this month in South Korea, the Galaxy Note 10 could also get multiple models.

The report claims the Galaxy Note 10 will come in two display sizes: 6.28-inch and 6.75-inch. In other words: one "small" and one "large."

One pair of the phones will reportedly support 4G LTE and the other will work with 5G networks.

The report also claims the smaller 6.28-inch Galaxy Note 10 will have three rear cameras like the S10 (likely with the same wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras). Meanwhile, the larger 6.75-inch version will reportedly sport quad cameras, with the fourth sensor being a depth sensor aka "time of flight" (ToF) sensor like on the Galaxy S10 5G.

No additional spec details were shared about the Galaxy Note 10 in ETNews' report, but it's not hard to speculate. If Samsung follows past releases, the Galaxy Note 10 should be similar to the S10.

With the S10 as a blueprint, it's very likely the Galaxy Note 10 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chip and at least 6GB or 8GB of RAM. It's also very likely the phone will come with at least 64GB of internal storage like the S10.

Samsung has a few options for the display. It could go with a screen with a "teardrop" shaped notch ("Infinity-V"), a hole punch ("Infinity-O"), or no notch ("New Infinity"). Judging by the positive reception to the hole punches in the S10, Samsung will likely choose a similar display.

The Galaxy Note 10 will probably include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor as well.

Other Samsung Galaxy phone staples will probably return as well unless Samsung musters some newfound "courage" to kill certain features. With that in mind, the Galaxy Note 10 will likely come with fast wired and wireless charging, a microSD card slot for storage expansion, IP68 water and dust-resistance, a headphone jack, stereo speakers, and an S-Pen.

The only real question mark will be battery life. The Galaxy Note 9 and S10+ both have a 4,000 mAh battery. Anything smaller on the Galaxy Note 10 will be disappointing.

Oh, and expect the Note 10 to cost a lot. The Note 9 started at $999.99 when it launched. Don't count on that going down.
