      CATHY, 30 Jan 2024I have had this phone since it came out in 2019 (5 years). ... moreyes, this phone is the last monument that came with SD card slot and a headphone jack. Now I'm afraid that no flagship phones have the luxury of having a removable storage and so I Can't upgrade.

        I have had this phone since it came out in 2019 (5 years). It's still going strong and I have no desire to upgrade, yet. This is an excellent phone and I've had no problems at all.

          I had this phone since 2019 when it came out & I believe the phone just shut off & refused to turn back on with or without power connected. HOWEVER, this is IS one of the best phones I've owned! It lasted about three years before that. And I love the fact that it recorded 4k 60fps, had external HD slot for additional space, and even the headphone jack which was barely used; it was nice to have. I definitely recommend this phone as a nice back-up, business, etc. I'm contemplating getting mine fixed 🫣

              I'm a fan of a big internal storage with a microsd expansion slot so I can add more storage...
              And this beauty is my favourite since I think this is the only android out there with a 1Tb storage & a microsd expansion slot...so I fall in love with this beauty since the first time I know it... 🥰🥰🥰

                This phone still being a beast, I would main this but no thanks

                  vjx012, 23 Dec 2023I got my S10+, 128 GB internal and 8 GB RAM, for about 253 ... moreThis sounds like a whole year worth of work.

                    Strife97, 08 Jan 2024Thank you for this comprehensive info. do you use custom ke... moreI haven't found a custom kernel for LOS. I have searched but found one for stock. I have used Boeffla on my ancient Samsung and it was the best kernel, and plus the app was really comprehensive. But there's no need for a custom kernel on LOS. The battery life is insane (depending on which app you use, Quora is the worst and gives around 6-7 hours constant screen on time while Firefox and YouTube give me at least 12 hours - non-stop screen on, almost no screen off, and I also use Revanced Extended from revanced.io that disables ads and all that so that may give a bit more battery). So, YouTube, which means constant videos and sound, gives around 12 hours at least, non-stop watching. The phone is always room-temperature warm, except Quora, when it gets slightly warm. It never gets hot, even with a few consecutive restarts, which warmed up my previous S9+ considerably on LOS but only gets the S10+ slightly warm at best. And it never freezes or slows down. As soon as the app launcher is ready after the phone boots up, the phone is ready, it is snappy right away.

                    There is no need for an overclock, as the phone is fast, while there is no need for an undervolt, as the battery lasts plenty long. If you need an underclock, download SmartPack Kernel Manager for free on F-Droid and limit the frequencies for the three core clusters, but as I said, there's no need - the battery life is exemplary. If you root, then there's the NUKED Magisk Module which installs a terminal script you can run in Termux to disable ads, tracking, analytics and so on, however, if you run the script, unmount the SD card as it has a tendency to corrupt it on my phone, but unmounting it prevents it. This may extend battery life even more.

                    The bundled kernel has limited options and has only two governors, schedutil and performance, which you can set for each core cluster. But really, there's no need to fiddle around with it on this phone. You get performance and great battery life anyway.

                    The only two issues I found on LOS are buggy auto-rotation and aggressive RAM killer after around 3 days on. The first can be fixed by locking and unlocking the phone until the auto-rotation kicks in, it disables itself when you lock it pretty often but also reenables itself after locking and unlocking one or two times until you relock it again. Again, not much of an issue personally.

                    The second is aggressive app killing after maybe 3 or so days. The 8 GB of RAM is enough to keep quite a few apps in the background running, so don't be put off by this unless you absolutely need an insane amount of apps in the background - I couldn't find an Exynos 1 TB variant anywhere, while the Snapdragon can be found on eBay, so if you want 12 GB of RAM get the Note10+ if you're not bothered by the lack of 3.5mm jack. I am able to run at least 6 apps simultaneously, and I had maybe 9 or so apps open until it started killing them, and that's with James DSP, ViPER4Android Reverse Engineered and Proton VPN running in the background, plus L Speed and Google Translate. However, the longer the phone is on, the worse this gets, beginning with it unable to have more than 2 apps running at the same time until it starts killing James and ViPER eventually. This is easily fixed by a restart, which takes maybe 30 seconds and the phone is fast right after booting, and this resets the multitasking abilities back to 100%.

                    Again, those are the only two issues. Not a big deal personally. Oh, and there's no VoLTE, VoWIFI and all that, but since 2G and 3G is available in my country, not really an issue.

                    The fingerprint sensor takes getting some used to. The area is smallish, and so it may prove challenging at first to unlock it with the screen off, but once you get used to it, it becomes a non-issue mostly. I get it right with screen off 95% of times now. Also, and keep in mind that I did it with a film screen protector, it may prove challenging to register your fingerprints at first, but now, once I got used to it, it registers easily. I also registered four fingerprints, two for the same thumb and two for the same index finger, only first fingerprint focuses more on the front part and the second on the back part of the finger. This made the fingerprint sensor really accurate. It's also fast to respond. Only time I had an issue with it is when my fingers are really dry, such as after washing and drying my hands (depending on my luck, doing it once doesn't dry then enough, but multiple times then does), after which I have to keep it pressed for some time until it registers, but once your natural oils wet your hands after an hour, maybe less, this resolves itself. Cold, warm, wet, nothing except dry fingers made an issue with it. And you can easily remedy this until your natural oils wet your fingers by running your fingerprint through your hair or forehead/side of the head to pick up the natural oil there. There are glass screen protectors compatible with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (the other glass screen protectors leave an ugly cutout where the sensor is), but if you can't find them or they're too expensive, film screen protectors will work just fine. Unlike the capacitive sensor on the S9+, this sensor works when your hands are dirty or wet. And it's only marginally slower, unless your fingerprints are really dry. The only thing I miss with the capacitive sensor it the ability to use gestures, such as pulling down the status bar by swiping down your finger over the sensor.

                        For the love of a custom ROM, I'm considering buying this phone. Since my Galaxy S5 was retired and I got tired of customizing, I've been using an iPhone.

Although software updates won't suffice for these awful latest Samsung midrangers

Because it cost more cheaper and, 1tb and 12gb of ram? Yeah. I would switch to that phone. I wouldn't mind if it has 16MP Camera. (just saying, no offense.)

                                        Sprite, 22 Dec 2023Would switch to an s10+ if i find one in good condition and... moreI got my S10+, 128 GB internal and 8 GB RAM, for about 253 USD used. No cracks, no dents, no burn-in, pristine condition. I have a 256 GB MicroSD for music and general storage so I had no need to buy a larger storage - 256 is plenty enough, especially since I don't take pictures or videos. I specifically looked for Exynos version due to unlockable bootloader. Wish I could have bought the 1 TB version due to its 12 GB RAM, but oh well. Those are pretty much impossible to find in the Exynos variant (yes, there are Snapdragon 1 TB versions on eBay, but I NEED root and custom ROM, so no thanks).

                                        Why this and not, say, S20 Ultra which also has a MicroSD slot, with 512 GB version with 16 GB RAM Exynos version available new on Amazon (900 euro but money's no issue due to my reliance on custom ROMs hence very long-term usage guaranteed for years and years), and due to my reliance to Shanling UA3 DAC/AMP and its much higher power output, don't care for the 3.5mm slot? No custom ROMs! Except BeyondROM, which is based on stock ROM. And I'm not sure if even that ROM will go to Android 14.

                                        Meanwhile, S10+ has official LineageOS 20 with latest Android 13 currently, and there already are unofficial LineageOS 21 based on Android 14 versions available for download. So it's safe to say S10+ will live on for more with Android 14. And if you want more features, you can download crDroid (a feature-focused custom ROM based on LineageOS) with also Android 13. Both are available for download on their official webpages. Update stock ROM to latest version first, then flash custom ROM. You can freely format the system partition when flashing the custom ROMs since they don't depend on stock ROM at all. The only downsides on custom ROMs not based on stock OneUI is there is currently no support for VoLTE/VoWiFi but that's all (the code for those is proprietary and wasn't reverse-engineered yet), everything else works and it's stable for everyday usage.

                                        Do not use TWRP or other custom recovery for LineageOS or crDroid other than their official recoveries if deciding to do this.

                                        If you decide to splash on Exynos S10+, and decide to root, use Lygisk instead of Magisk, as Lygisk restores root on OTA updates (yes, both LineageOS and crDroid have OTA functions). Then install the Shamiko module and add banking and other apps that detect root to DenyList in Lygisk, and Play Integrity Fix to bypass Google's SafetyNet, then reboot.

                                        To root without a PC, once you've flashed the LOS or crDroid recovery, download the Lygisk apk, make a copy, and rename the .apk extension to .zip. Then flash that zip in recovery, confirm that you want to flash the unsigned zip and that'a that. Then boot to system, open Lygisk, and allow it to additionally flash the boot partition to complete the process, then reboot. Open it once again, then see if it asks one more time to flash, if it does, choose Direct Install, wait for the process to finish, restart and that's it.

                                        Also, a word of caution: do NOT reboot while the notification about system update is progressing, otherwise you'll get a bootloop and have to wipe data. That's all. Once the notification is gone, it's safe to reboot. So leave the device to finish the update, and only then open Lygisk to see if it needs additional flashing of boot partition.

                                        Other plus is the S10+ has a Bixby button (called Menu in LineageOS) which you can reprogram to do basically anything using Physical Button Master Control. Pretty handy to open the music player, change songs and play/pause playback - turns it into a veritable music device with a dedicated button for playback. Use 4.2.1 version to configure the button (since 4.3 force-closes if choosing an app to open), then install 4.3 and export the button configuration. You'll need an LSPosed Magisk module for this. Once you reboot, the button will be reprogrammed.

                                        I'd also advise to install Neo Backup from F-Droid to back up app installations and data, in case something happens (hey, once you root and experiment, it can be inevitable to get a bootloop until you get a hang of it) and select your MicroSD card as data storage since wiping your internal memory will also wipe the data. That's why I am a fan of the MicroSD slot when rooting - no need to recopy your data. I'd also advise you to install Magisk Bootloop Protector by HuskyDG that disables all Magisk modules in case of a bootloop caused by any modules - if that happens, system will try to boot, fail, restart, and boot successfully with all modules except the Protector disabled. Why's this important? Because LineageOS (and I suspect crDroid too) encrypts internal storage with FBE encryption, making it impossible to retreive your data if the phone's not booted and unlocked. Meaning, you cannot delete modules through recovery or transfer the data through any means other than by turning on the phone and unlocking it. There's also an option in Privacy to disable USB data connections while the device is locked or even disable them completely, which means nobody can access your data unless the phone is unlocked. Pretty secure if you ask me.

                                        The only thing I had to do with my S10+ is clean the Type-C port with a needle to get all of the dust out (and there was A LOT of it) which caused the charging to stop if the part of the cable connected to the charging port was wiggled (or the cable moved by normal phone usage) and I also had to clean the 3.5mm port since it would crackle and disconnect if I bent of spun the cable which I did by dipping a Q-Tip in alcohol, inserted it and spun it, which I repeated several times until the Q-Tip stopped becoming black. After that, no issues. Pristine condition.

                                        If you need 12 GB RAM, you can also buy Note10+ which also has a MicroSD slot and a larger 4300 mAh battery (but no 3.5mm jack) which also has LineageOS support.
