Our verdict

The Note 13 Pro+ throws everything at the spec sheet: 200MP, IP68, a curved screen and blistering 120W charging.

  • 200MP main camera with OIS plus IP68 durability
  • Curved AMOLED feels a class above its price

Cons

  • No headphone jack, unlike cheaper Note models
  • Heavy at around 205g and the curved screen is divisive
