      Okay here's the deal with this phone (S10). I tried the P30 and at first I liked the P30 more but later on there's just this weird feeling like I'm not really happy with it. I realized I settled with the P30 just because it's cheaper and has a flat screen.

      After I updated my S10, everything improved that beat the hell out of my P30 especially with regards to the camera. Holding and looking at the S10, it looks very premium compared to other phones (even you iPhone) because of the metal sides, glass front and back, and the curved screen. I like the camera improvements, the security it offers, the battery improvements, smoother software (One UI 2.0). I compared the P30 previously with the 11 Pro and my P30 triumphed over it. I'd say my S10 triumphed over my P30 and the 11 Pro so I'm still going to stick with the S10. To everyone looking to buy a new phone, I'd say the S10 is a very good phone!

      Edit: It's now 2020 and the S20 has just been revealed. Yes, the S20 and its siblings provided a lot of improvements and they're winners overall but the S10 is still a very good phone for 2020. I'd suggest you buy the S10 especially if you opt for the cheaper flagship. As for me, I'll probably upgrade if the S30, S40, or the S50 will be released because Samsung flagships last a very loooong time. Hell, I used the my GS5 (retired) since 2014 and only upgraded to S10 in 2019. Talk about durability and quality. That's about it for now. Those are my points for the GS10

              Practical example

                AnonD-784107, 10 Feb 2020Well yes actually you can. And ive done it. When ive ran my... moreYes you can, but not by the way people expect it to do. Let me explain.

                Physically, the Galaxy S10 display has 1440*3040 = 4377600 pixels (a little less than this actually - due to the punch hole and rounded corners). So during normal use, the phone has to light up all these pixels in order to give us a full screen image.

                Imagine rendering a white colored QuadHD+ image which had the resolution of 3040*1440. This image's pixels will perfectly line up with the display's physical(hardware) resolution and thus lighting up the entire 4377600 pixels of the display.

                Now if we render a white colored FullHD+ image with 1080 x 2280 resolution, it only has 2462400 pixels - in normal words, FullHD+ resolution only has about half the pixels of QuadHD resolution. So if viewed at 100% scale, the image only lights up 2462400 pixels which means, about a hald of the display is turned off. Therefore is this case, the display is using lesser battery than viewing a QuadHD image.

                But, the thing is, we are viewing the image in full screen mode. So the FullHD image will be zoomed in to fill the entire display which means, all those pixels in the display will have to lit up. Hence consuming the same amount of battery life.

                But then how you can save some battery life by lowering the resolution? To display something on a screen, the signals has to be processed via a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). So the GPU has to work a little harder when rendering a QHD image compared to FullHD image. During normal use, this difference is pretty negligible. When playing a heavy demanding game or doing some GPU intensive tasks, you can save some juice by lowering the resolution. (Most mobile games run at 720p HD resolution to give users a fluid experience)

                But during normal use, you shouldn't give up the beauty and sharpness of the display (which you paid for) to gain a 5-10 of minutes of battery life.

                  Cupcakes, 19 Jan 2020You can't really extend battery life by tuning down display... moreWell yes actually you can. And ive done it. When ive ran my phone in WQHD+ i tend to get less hours on battery life then in FHD+ mode. Which makes sense as the screen is higher resolution. So uses more battery.

                    AliRaza5544, 09 Feb 2020you are right ! i wasted lot of money i am not appraisin... moreMate When You will use it for like 1 year, This Phone will start glitchy. Telling it by My experience. That's why I only buy Samsung instead of other Chinese Smartphones. These might be good for a little time then they will be useless. And Yeah, You're Paying for Great Camera,Quality,Luxury,Best Screen,Value,Features.
                    If You still have doubts on why buy Samsung smartphone when You can get that 'Redmi Note 7", Then I'm sorry for You!..

                      scorpio, 06 Feb 2020You must have too much money to throw around. You purchased... moreyou are right !
                      i wasted lot of money
                      i am not appraising redmi note 7 i am just telling that i have used expensive phones yet i feel more comfortable with mi or another phone with more customization options and more battery backup in less price.
                      i found other phone durable against Samsung
                      the point is Samsung is giving luxury phone in expensive prices but i feel the quality and durability should be better

                        Ldisidro, 08 Jan 2020Any one notice that the camera can’t focus? YES. i made a side by side comparison shot with huawei p30. and the diference was abismal. and then switch to pro mode, i made the same iso, same depth of field and same speed. and the fotos are realy crapy on samsung devices. went to a huawei p30 pro and the diference was even bigger. samsung lacks of good cameras.

I'm not switching to iPhones right now, nor I think I will. I will stick with Samsung. And Yeah I will upgrade to S10 or maybe S10+, Depends on size which will suit Me.

My mate has the s10 and battery is good for her. There must be a reason your battery drains fast. By the way you havent mention which phone your using!

                              no name, 06 Feb 2020I'm switching to The iOS anyways, Thank You! *:-D... Now isn't the right time to buy a flagship phone. 2020 flagships are supposed to come out with high refresh rate screens (even the iphones) and probably samsungs will come out with graphene batteries. Unless you're in a real hurry, I suggest you wait just a little longer and decide if you're gonna switch to ios. I'm not saying you shouldn't, but if it's just the battery life, it would probably be worth the wait.

                              Samsung S20 will be unveiled very soon (Feb 11 I think).

So recently I was just looking up for some fresh review but suddenly I saw Yours, Which made Me kind of Mad. First of All You got 2 High End Flagship Smartphone less then a Year, Second They're Battery last longer than You claim. If You really Hate Samsung, Just keep it to Yourself Mate! Don't spread these kind of information!
                                      Have A Nice Day.

                                        Galaxy Note 10+ : 107hours
                                        Redmi Note 7 : 108hours

                                        That looks like pretty similar value. Less that 1% increase for the redmi Note 7.

                                        You see AliRaza? You gotta be much smarter when you plan on trolling. You could've easily accomplished your goal if you said you switched to an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
