5 Best Game Controllers For Galaxy Note 10 Plus

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10+ might be the largest smartphone yet, coming in at a whole 6.8-inches in size. This gives you plenty of room for any gaming that you might want to do, whether it be playing a mobile first-person shooter, enjoying a strategy game, or playing some casual Texas Hold ‘Em on the go.

So while you get great views on a screen this large, the on-screen digital controls are a little more difficult to use. They don’t have the range of motion or control that you need or want, and the controls don’t always recognize your touch either.

That said, a great way to solve that problem is with game controllers for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Hook one up over Bluetooth, and you can play Android games just like you would a console gamer. Not sure what the best is? Follow along below, and we’ll show you some of our favorites.

 

SteelSeries Stratus XL

The best controller that money can buy for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is easily the Stratus XL from SteelSeries. SteelSeries makes great controllers and gaming peripherals, already well experienced and established in the market, too. If you’re doing some serious mobile gaming, this one will bring you the control and range of movement you need. However, there is no phone cradle or holder for your Note 10+, so you’ll have to find another way to hold it up.

We love this one because it’s a full-size controller — ergonomics here are great, and it’s super comfortable. The battery life lasts for a pretty long while as well, which can keep you gaming for hours.

 

Beboncool Mobile Game Controller

Beboncool’s Mobile Game Controller is a unique choice but keeps things comfortable as well. This one has a little more of a unique design, one that’s great for ergonomics, comfort, and stability. This controller almost resembles the Nintendo Switch controller, which makes this one unique.

Just like any other Bluetooth controller, you can connect up to your phone over Bluetooth to start playing your favorite games straight away. This is particularly excellent for on-the-go use, allowing you to set your Galaxy Note 10+ in the cradle. That way, you can easily keep the phone in view all the time, making it easy to play your favorite games.

The one “con” here is that the battery only supports 1.5 hours of playback, so this one is better for portability and mini gaming sessions.

 

 

8BitDo Zero

8BitDo creates controllers that are more nostalgic and old-style in nature so that this one will be a blast from the past. With the Zero, in particular, you get that old Nintendo console style. This one is essentially a replica of an older Nintendo-style controller, providing you with a direction pad and just a few buttons to use. That said, this one isn’t going to be great for first-person shooters or other complicated genres. Still, it will work well for the casual game.

The battery life in the 8BitDo Zero is nothing short of amazing. A single charge will get you a whole twenty hours of juice. We’re talking about twenty hours of straight gaming before it needs a charge again. The battery is rechargeable, too.

 

Satechi Bluetooth Wireless Gamepad

Next up, we’re looking at the Bluetooth Wireless Gamepad from Satechi. This mid-size controller isn’t a full-size option like you’d find elsewhere on our list, but it’s still comfortable and great for gaming on your Galaxy Note 10+.

Satechi seriously upgraded the ergonomics here, mostly because it has a cradle where you can set your Galaxy Note 10+ in. The weight is distributed very evenly as well, so you could game for hours, or at least as long as the battery lasts.

Our favorite feature here is the Power Save mode that Satechi has packed inside — you can turn it on, and you can get a few more hours of juice out of your controller. This allows you to get out of a stressful part of your game and save in time to put it on the charger.

 

8BitDo M30

Another one from 8BitDo, the M30, is a nice controller. This one is significantly larger than the Zero, which makes it a little easier for gaming, whether at home or on the go. The M30 has more buttons as well, so it’s easier to use with different genres, too.

What we like here is that the 8BitDo M30 works with multiple platforms — not just Android, but the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and macOS as well.

Verdict

Here we’ve shown you five of the best game controllers that you can pick up for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Just about all of these will astronomically improve your mobile gaming experience; however, we love the SteelSeries Stratus XL the most, as it closely resembles a full-size controller from the Xbox One. That gives you great comfort, good ergonomics, and a long-lasting battery.
