Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will come with 3D ToF camera, lens maker confirms

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will reportedly feature 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. We have already seen the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G sport the sensor on the front and on the back, and the Galaxy A80 on its flip-up camera. The ToF sensor renders the bokeh effect in images, it is used for AR applications and for face recognition. This information comes through South Korean lens maker Kolen ( via a local publication), which is manufacturing lenses for Samsung. The company has recently invested $21.6 million to build a new plant in Vietnam, which will increase its production capacity from 13 million to 25 million lenses.

Further, the larger variant is believed to feature two ToF modules – on the front and on the back – similar to the Galaxy S10 5G. However, considering that the Galaxy S10 5G had a big cutout for the selfie camera, where the ToF sensor also sat, recent renders of the Galaxy Note 10+ actually reveal a small circular hole.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 launch date

Samsung will be hosting the annual **Galaxy Unpacked event on 7 August in New York** to launch the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 10 and/or Galaxy Note 10 5G. [caption id=“attachment_6915981” align=“alignnone” width=“1089”]  Note 10 launch invite.[/caption] The invite shared by Samsung shows the signature Note stylus, called the S-Pen, pointed at what appears to be a camera lens. This could very well mean that the rumours about a centred punch-hole camera on the Note 10 could be true. Then there is the rumour that the S-pen could actually come with its own camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 expected specifications

Besides this, from what we know so far, the Galaxy Note 10 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch QHD+ Infinity display, and may come with up to 12 GB of RAM. The Galaxy Note 10 will naturally run the Android Pie-based One UI operating system. Apart from that, the device should sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or the Exynos equivalent. There are also rumours of a triple-camera setup at the back similar to the Galaxy S10 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 expected price

Besides the build and specifications,  a report by a Russian publication also claims to have got an idea about how much the new handset will cost. The Galaxy Note 10 will set you back between $1,100 - $1,200, that’s between Rs 75,000 and Rs 85,000 when converted. Samsung is widely expected to  **introduce two Galaxy Note 10 models this year**  – Galaxy Note 10e and Galaxy Note 10 Pro.
