iPhone and the Note use different types of biometric identification for their user authentication. The Samsung Note 10 ha an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, while the iPhone utilizes Face ID or facial recognition feature that utilizes the depth-sensing front camera for scanning the face. No doubt, there is also an option to unlock the Note using the face, but it uses the conventional Selfie camera technology and thus, it isn’t as safe and secure as Apple’s one.

So many rumors are going around that Apple was planning to look into in-screen fingerprint scanners for its new iPhone 11. The only significant difference between iPhone 11 and the Note is the stylus. The Note 10 devices come along with the signature S Pen stylus that you can use for note-taking, gesture controls, remote camera activation, and many other features.

On the basis of some rumors, there’s a possibility that new iPhone 11 will come with Apple Pencil. But, the Pencil would probably be sold separately and thus, there will be an additional cost. The pencil has always remained a feature of the iPad only.

Isn’t, it right? iPhone 11 is expected to have a three-camera array – a new ultra-wide-angle lens, telephoto, and wide-angle, integrated into a large square that projects from the back of the device. Apple will probably keep the same setup as the current seven-megapixel TrueDepth camera on the device front.

On the other hand, the Note 10 also features triple rear cameras. But, the lenses are vertically stacked. It features a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens along with dual aperture that has the capability of adapting to different lighting conditions, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and a 12-megapixel telephoto. When it comes to the front, it is a standard and non-depth-sensing 10-megapixel camera.

In addition to these features, the Note 10 compromises of a new time-of-flight depth-sensing camera on its back, for a new AR doodle feature and 3D scanning. The good news for Apple fans is that the iPhone is expected to come up with a depth-sensing camera on the back, but not in this year and maybe next.

When it comes to capturing pictures with a blurred background effect, both phones work great. But, Note 10 can do the same thing with video also. There is no news that if Apple is going to introduce a portrait mode view on its new iPhone 11. Both devices have native video and photo editing tools in its camera app.
