- The Galaxy Note 10 from Samsung has a bunch of new features that are worth knowing about but easily missed.
- One of my favorite feature updates is the ability to convert handwritten notes into digital text, as well as searching for notes with keywords. It seems minor, but it makes a huge impact on how well the Note 10 works as a note-taking device.
- There are a bunch of other features and updates to the camera and S Pen, and even a feature that lets you run a strange version of Samsung’s Android on your Windows 10 or Apple macOS computer.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 is out and available for all to buy, and for those who are reading this on their shiny new Note 10, or thinking of buying it, there are some cool features to know about.
Oftentimes, it can be hard to follow what Samsung’s added to its new smartphone. The company takes an "everything under the sun" approach, and the Note 10 is no different.
New features and improvements have been added to the Note 10’s note-taking ability, camera, and S Pen, and one feature even extends the Note 10 onto your Windows 10 or macOS computer.
Check out the best new features of the Galaxy Note 10:
1. Super-fast charging with the new 25W charger that’s included with the Note 10.

The Note 10 comes with a 25W charger included that charges the phone faster than the 15W chargers that came with previous Galaxy devices.
It’s a great upgrade for charging that gives you quick bursts of power and full charges in less time, which means less time for the Note 10 to be tethered to a charging cord.
2. That background blur "bokeh" effect from portrait photos works on videos now.
3. You can get your text messages on your Windows 10 computer with the "Your Phone" app.

Microsoft’s "Your Phone" app can be used with most Android phones. It’s Microsoft’s version of Apple’s Messages feature that iPhone and Mac users love so much, where they can send and receive text messages on their Macs.
Samsung integrated "Your Phone" more deeply with the Galaxy Note 10 to let you wirelessly stream the Note 10’s screen onto your Windows 10 computer.
Apart from that, Your Phone is still a place on your Windows 10 computer where you can answer text messages without reaching for your phone.
