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.

Dragoore, 01 Mar 2019I have a question. I read DXO MARK camera tests, your test.... morewhy samsung phones must be the best? Its not, never was and never will be. Its only the big smoke and the marketing. Paying more money for buying the tests and the testers.

    I have a question. I read DXO MARK camera tests, your test. Basing on your opionions, S10 camera should be great.
    Then, I watch samples from your LAB - and S10 take worse picturse than S9 (even Xperia XZ2). S10 overblur everything and there is big lack of detail.

      Why we can't find android phone with symmetrical bottom and top. Why the botom size always big than top size.

          Dragoore, 01 Mar 2019I have a question. I read DXO MARK camera tests, your test.... moreDxO said about lack often lack of fine details.

          There evaluations also consideres speed of focus, flash performance, colour accuracy, HDR levels for backlit portrait scene etc ...

          They evaluate the limits the phone can go on automatic settings. Tech sites show you what you get in regular use.

                I feel One UI have worst icons ever in Galaxy phones history, reminds me Chinese vendors but doesn't mean, everything is bad about UI.

                  When is the Galaxy S10 review coming guys?

                    Recow, 28 Feb 2019Just answer my question, we where talking about Battery lif... moreif both of us had a S10+, the battery life result will be different for as because we have a different lifestyle, agree? So the gsmarena test is the same for all phones 1 hour talk, 1 hour browser, 1 hour video, per day, same for all phones, and the result is for comparation. In the real life the battery is drain faster like i mentioned before , depending how each of as use the phone.
                    I want to say the bigger MAH is not equal with longer battery life, all depends of the phone consumption.

                      Anonymous, 28 Feb 2019You mentioned camera too.... That is why I gave full explan... moreSo you want to say B is better even though B will run out of battery first ??
                      All that matters is which one runs out of juice first which is a function of (capacity / discharge rate)

                        How much time can you record 4K 60FPS video and 1080P 60FPS?Previous S8-S9-Note 8-Note 9 you can ,only for 5 minutes i think?Does the S10 Plus has any time limit for video recordings?

                          >you could grab an S10+, get tired of it by summer and switch to an Xperia.

                          Because who needs money for bills and food right?

                            I would like to read a review of the Snapdragon version por favor, if possible.

                              The only thing I love Samsung phones is the User Interface, start from Samsung Experience, which is simple, stable and secure. It is the only thing.

                                I do not now why GSMArena did not mention the MI9 as an alternative on the verdict , it seems to be a good option compare with the S10+, do you think the MI9's camera is better that S10+ one?
