Samsung Galaxy S10+ review

27 February 2019
Punch out a hole in the display, add an extra camera on the back, do the mandatory yearly updates to the internals and you'd end up with a Samsung Galaxy S10+ - that is, if you started out with an S9+ if it wasn't obvious. Only that would be oversimplifying it, and we'd rather explore the nuances.

Gsmarena battery tests are too flawed. Nowhere near real life usage. I have had 6-7 smartphones & all of them have had different battery life than what's on this website.
The difference is night & day. 👎👎👎

    While Samsung has been re-designing the User Interface from Samsung Experience to OneUI or above, the only thing that I hate from Samsung is that I have to wait for few months or even a year or two to have this flagship ones as their price is surely downing to earth.

              GSMArena.... you're not supposed to press the fingerprint, you should just tap it slightly and it will unlock really fast!

                I heard that Samsung was going back to their innovative ways like the S3, S4 and S5 did. All I see is beefier hardware from their latest Galaxy S. There's no sensor innovations (which some people like to call gimmicky though they can be very handy if you know how to use them at the right moment).

                I thought Samsung would come with something really special for their tenth edition of the Galaxy S. It turns out that ONLY the usual yearly updates happened...once again. I still believe the Galaxy S5 is probably their most impressive of the bunch. I still have my S5 and I'm feeling Huawei's innovations more and more these days.

                I miss Samsung of yesteryear.

                      Photos under low light looks like painted. There is no even single detail. This is the case with note 9 also. They have not improved it at all

                          Anonymous, 28 Feb 2019The S10 low-light sample images are really terrible. Terrib... moreActually you are used to the huge noise reduction of other manufacturers. Samsung leaves the images with more noise and more detail. I personally find this approach much better, even a DSLR has trouble in some low-light scenarios, if you look at pixel level there is terrible noise apparently but at normal size the image is sharp and detailed.

                            I have 2 main disappointments here. Barrel distortion and 91h of battery life? Seriously Samsung? The barrel distortion is just unforgivable. Even Xiaomi's Mi 9, which most consider as an "underdog", has a toggle to correct the barrel distortion in its ultra wide lens. It's a nifty option to have. And this 91h of battery life rating? is this a joke right? you slapped a 4100mAh battery and all you get is a rating similar to Mi 9's 3300mAh. We're not yet even talking about your super slow charging (wired and wireless) and the price difference here (Mi 9 is only $450). What are you doing with your R&D department? You're a big company and you are more capable of this. We understand that you want to milk us our cash. In turn, we expect high-end specs and features that tops the industry. No excuses for you. Totally disappointed with the results. Sorry for bad english. Love from india.

                              Seems even Exyonse 9820 performance not that good yeah better than Exyonse 9810, but still not on par even with Kirin 980 that sad.

                                Was the battery test done in highest resolution ? The Phone comes with Full HD+ resolution out of the box. Wonder if they left it like that.

                                  DxOMark said Galaxy s10 cameras are better than the pixel 3 one so if they say it, is because is true! !!

                                        As a mate 20 pro user, I saw the camera quality from a samsung rep and honestly I was mega disappointed. Oh and that selfie camera is sad.
