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.

Has anyone got icon badge count to work on 500px and Flickr? Third party icon badge count seems flaky.

                  Disappointing battery life and a stupid double cutout. The single cutout on the S10 regular is acceptable as it serves a purpose. But it's been shown you can get great bokeh pictures with just one camera so the double cutout is ridiculous and an waste of screen space

                    steven, 02 Mar 2019I also have Mate20 pro. But I"ll switch back to samsung. EM... moreI had Samsung's for 7 years but just swapped my s8+ for a mate 20 x. The OS implementation one concern I had but it is actually pretty polished. Certainly the Samsung has a few extra options here and there but nothing major. One suprice was how nice flat edges are to use compared with the rounded edges that Samsung has. The S10+ is nearly double what I got my mate 20x for... Certainly won't be going back to Samsung anytime soon.

                      Hoffmann, 02 Mar 2019How come that Samsung provided the selfie camera with f 1.9... moreBecause most of us normally do selfie/wefie in a normal light condition, not too dark condition, with the front camera of the phone.

Samsung Experience UI (now One UI) makes me not to be a Samsung hater. I am not a Samsung lover too. While all technology (i.e. specs/features) become the same among any brands, the UI is the final assessment. I hope the UI provides its simplicity, stability and security against iOS :)

                          Hoffmann, 02 Mar 2019How come that Samsung provided the selfie camera with f 1.9... moreBecause the aperture is not same for different sized sensors.
                          There is something called crop factor.

                          A full frame camera f8 allows much light in as a phone with 1/2.55" f1.0 .

                          The f1.7 used for 1/4", 1/3", 1/2" and 1/1.7" are not same.

                              These are great phones but terribly overpriced. I'd buy an S10+ in a heartbeat if it was $599.

                              As-is, it's far too expensive.

                                Hoffmann, 02 Mar 2019How come that Samsung provided the selfie camera with f 1.9... moreAnd also wired 18W charging with S7 and 15W with S10

                                  How come that Samsung provided the selfie camera with f 1.9 aperture, and the 2016 flagships for example the S7 Edge has f 1.7 ??

                                  Someone dare to explain ?

                                      Note9 User, 02 Mar 2019...."while the Mate's battery lasts longer, plus it charges... more...."while the Mate's battery lasts longer, plus it charges faster.".

                                      I don't know if they were referring to their professional use or personal experience, probably both.
                                      So that conflict can easily be explained because the Achilles heel of both the Mate 20 Pro & the XS Max are standby times, but as the tasks and usage are more intense the battery runs out before standby times can become a factor.
                                      You can see this if you multiply the workload by 4= 4hrs of Calls, Web browsing & Video playback:
                                      (Move all sliders to (Max) 4:00 hrs):
                                      https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3?idPhone=9535
                                      Now you will see the result in Custom Rating:
                                      Mate 20 Pro= 31hrs
                                      Galaxy S10+= 29hrs
                                      XS Max= 25hrs

                                      So all lasting a full day (24hrs) under a heavy but realistic workload.
