The Samsung Galaxy Note 10: Evolved again

Samsung made surprisingly short work presenting its two new Galaxy Note 10 smartphones at an event in New York on August 8. Or at least that’s what it felt like. Just when one was expecting to deep dive into more new features, Samsung’s executives abruptly moved on to present the Galaxy Watch Active 2 followed by a cellular connected notebook called the Galaxy Book S. The event, live-streamed to a global audience, rounded off with a surprise guest — Microsoft’s Satya Nadella who spoke of a partnership with Samsung seeming to refer to the seamless manner in which the new products connect to Microsoft’s applications and services.
