The rumour mills continue to buzz regarding Samsung‘s upcoming flagship Galaxy Note 10. We have seen quite a few leaked details and renders but we don’t expect them leaks to stop coming until the phablet is unveiled. The latest we have on our hands is pictures of a silicone case of a supposed Galaxy Note 10 Pro.

The images were leaked on Twitter by tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) and he claims they are real-life cases of the Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Pro. The name is sort of confusing because Samsung is tipped to be planning to launch a Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus, according to previous leaks. It is safe to assume the Galaxy Note 10 Pro is the same as the Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

The protective case gives us an idea of the Note 10’s design, thanks to the cut-outs. If the case turns out to be actually for the Note 10, then it confirms many of the previous leaks which suggested that the Galaxy Note 10 would have a vertical, triple camera setup at the back. But then, the case design could be based on the same leaks.

Both models are distinct from each other in the aspect of screen size and positions of the rear cameras. The Galaxy Note 10 only sports a single circular cutout for the flash whereas the Pro model has a longer, pill-like cutout. This could be an indication that the Note 10 Pro may have additional sensors such as a laser sensor or the heart-rate sensor. The case for the Pro model is also shown from multiple angles, which gives us a glimpse at the button layout and ports. Of note, is the absence of a Bixby button. This would make it the first Samsung flagship in recent years to ditch it.

However, if you look a little closer to the area at the bottom left side of the case, there seems to be another little bump, presumably for a dedicated camera button. Unless Samsung has repositioned the Bixby button towards the bottom, which doesn’t seem logical, this would most likely be a button for the camera shutter. The case for the standard Galaxy Note 10 also seems to have this little bump at the bottom.

The cases also show the device with two ports cut-out on the top edge which is rumoured to be for an IR blaster and one for the microphone. This again suggests the absence of another key component present on previous models, that us the headphone jack.  There are cutouts at the bottom for the S Pen dock, a speaker grille, the USB Type-C port and the microphone.

Samsung is tipped to launch the Galaxy Note 10 in late-August.
