The Samsung Galaxy Note was the first smartphone to carry a 5-inch display. But the large screen-size isn't what brings buyers back to the device, it's the S Pen. We've seen a number of comments from experienced phone buyers who said that they would pass on the Galaxy Fold because they can get a large screen with the Note 10 and the S Pen. This year, we could see as many as four different Note 10 models with up to two 4G LTE variants and two with 5G support.
