BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE

Upping the ante among high-end tech and Star Wars enthusiasts, Samsung just dropped its Galaxy Note 10+, a limited-edition phone created in the armored image of supreme leader, Kylo Ren, its black body accented with bright red and custom artwork. Custom packaged in a leather case with an embossed Ren helmet, it also features a metal badge for collectors, an “S” pen stylus that resembles the dark lord’s red-bladed lightsaber, and Galaxy Buds. It even includes Star Wars-themed digital ad-ons like wallpapers, refresh animations, icons, and sounds, and there’s also a unique lightspeed jump effect when the phone is turned off. As for specs, the 10+ model sports a 6.8-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen (1440 x 3040 pixels), an Octa-Core CPU, a microSD card slot (up to 1 TB), 12GB of RAM, and either 256GB or 512GB of internal memory.
