Samsung is expected to launch two models of Note 10, the regular Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 10+. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus is likely to come with the much-awaited 45W fast charging, however, the handset might ship with just a 25W charger in the box.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10: Exynos and not Snapdragon processor in the US?
Samsung typically launches its flagships with the Qualcomm processor in the US and with its own Exynos chipset in the rest of the markets. However, Blass claims that the company might adopt a different strategy in the US and launch the Galaxy Note 10 series with Exynos 9825. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor will reportedly be limited to the Verizon model of the Note10.
Blass wrote in his tweet, In the US, only Verizon Note10 models will be Qualcomm-powered, and they will be regular Snapdragon 855, NOT SD855+. The other carriers, like the rest of the world, will have Exynos 9825 versions, I’m told.
