The small hole next to the SIM slot on the top of the and Note 10+ is a dedicated second loudspeaker, not an IR blaster. When renders of Samsung’s new flagships had first leaked online, many had assumed that extra hole could be an IR blaster as it was not something we’d seen on any Galaxy device ever since Samsung decided to stop adding an IR blaster to its smartphones. However, that’s not the case.
That dedicated speaker should result in better stereo sound (especially with Dolby Atmos enabled) on the Note 10 and Note 10+, along with higher volume levels as we saw on the Galaxy Fold, instead of having the earpiece double up as the second speaker. Unfortunately, we were unable to test the Note 10’s audio quality at Samsung’s Unpacked launch because of all the hubbub, but we will be fixing that as soon as we get our hands on a review unit.
And yes, there is an earpiece on the Galaxy Note 10 duo, although it’s extremely hard to spot because of the small bezel. Samsung is also bundling new and improved in the box, but it’s not in every market, which is sure to disappoint many. The company also has given for why the headphone jack was removed, instead of admitting that it just wants to push consumers towards buying the Galaxy Buds.
