I get around 6.5 hours of screen on time. 9am full charged still I would have to charge the phone by 8PM every day. But otherwise it's a good phone.
Good smooth display. One UI does good job. Camera is outstanding. Easy to carry around, 160gm.
Also it still got the headphone jack, heart beat sensor &IP rating waterproof.
Fingure print reader won't work correctly if you put a screen guard.
Buy if it's ur 1st flagship or upgrading from s7 or s8 considering the average battery backup

In summary:
Avoid at any cost
Full story:
I was a fan of Samsung Galaxy S series from the very beginning. I used the first Samsung Galaxy S, then S2, S3, for a while S4 (one of the best mobiles at that time), and for a longer time S6. I really loved the S6. After it became old and started to have issues with the battery, 9 months ago my company bought me the new S10 for the really high amount of $$$, much more than any of previous Ss costed. And then problems started.
First, inconveniences.
First of all, the Bixby thing. I hate it and I don't want it. But there is no way to remove it from the mobile.
Next, lack of charging diode. It was useful. Is it so expensive that the $1000 mobile cannot be equipped with it?
Next, the camera. Sorry to say, S6 did better photos. Of course, the resolution was lower, but the distortions were not that noticeable. And the colors were lot better.
The touchscreen. I often keep it in my pocket. None of my previous mobiles ever called random people, switched the flashlight, opened various apps that often because of being kept in a pocket.
Last, the battery. It does not last even 10h on data transmission on in the middle of a city. With the medium power saving it lasts for approx 16h with data transmission switched on only when needed, although the mobile promises much longer. I am not comparing it to my dad's CAT S60 that lasts 4 days. But my kids use their Chinese cheap devices, and they have enough power for the full 24h with data transmission always on.
Next, failures
Speaker. Since a firmware update 3 or 4 months ago, the loudspeaker started to switch on randomly, without any warning during calls. The speaker icon that is visible during the call remains off. But the voice goes through the loudspeaker instead of the standard speaker, so everybody around can hear the call. I must double click the speaker and then it is off again. But often during longer calls, it switches on again. Randomly.
USB-C socket. It became loose (not to say lousy, I really hate it, and it was the reason why I wrote this opinion finally) just about 2 weeks ago. I must search for a proper position to charge the phone now. The laptop stopped recognizing the mobile, too. It is not a problem with the cable, I am still using the original one, and it works on S8 of my colleague. It is the simple USB-C socket failing in the $1000 phone that even cannot be loaded now without trying various positions. And it is not even 1 year old.
Fingerprint reader. It is completely random. I still have the original screen protector on the screen. The result is that the max 5 read attempts and the need to type the code happens far too often.
It looks like Samsung Galaxy S series is not a good choice anymore. I need a reliable phone, not the failing expensive stuff with useless bloatware. I will not buy the newer versions, I will ask my company to buy something else for me in future. I am not sure which manufacturer, but even 5 times cheaper Chinese mobiles that my kids use are more reliable.

How's the battery performance? I'm planning to buy it over s20 as it doesn't have 3.5mm jack like s10.y only concern is battery performance.
Thanks
Opinion will be much appreciated.

Scorpio, 27 Jul 2020Sorry cannot understand what you are trying to say.Basically, don't tell other people to get off their phones and get a life, specially when yours just revolves around commenting and being salty on a phone website. Chill out a bit, there's no need to be so dramatic

for all S10 users (especially Exynos version),how about the battery performance for light usage(whatsapp,instagram,& sometimes photography)?is it good enough?as long as the battery lasts for a day,it's good for me.
For heavy usage like gaming,browsing,etc, i will use my secondary phone.
I've been using Samsung S7 for almost 4 years, it's time to upgrade my phone.
i prefer the S10 because the size is perfect. S10+ is too big for me. thank you so much :)

However the one observation I will make is that you must be wedded to your phone constantly checking the battery and constantly charging your phone. Your phone according to you is running your life. Unless you intend to use your phone for the next 20 years then digging a hole for yourself. Get a life.

A simple google search confirms that the more you discharge your phone before charging, the more damage you do to it. Fully draining your battery vs charging at 75% will shorten your batteries life by approximately 5 times. I try to recharge between 50-60 and almost never let it drop below 50.
