Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10 Complete Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the "average kid" in the Galaxy S10 trio the company has just released. While the Samsung S10 plus has been accept as the best the Galaxy S series has to give, the smaller Galaxy S10e has also gained popularity thanks to its relatively powerful hardware and reasonable price. The Galaxy S10 then gets stuck in the middle, claiming to offer the best of both worlds. Does it really manage to do that, or are you better off with one of its brothers? I put it to the experiment to find out.


Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10: Design:

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a good looking smartphone and you can't deny that. Samsung has used top quality materials in its construction. You get an aluminum frame that is located between Corning Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and Gorilla Glass 5 on the back. This should also help the phone resist scratches from daily use to some extent.

Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10: Design:

The Galaxy S10 has a 6.1 inch Super AMOLED screen, which lies right between the 5.8 inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S10e and the 6.4 inch screen on the Samsung Galaxy S10+. As it is a QuadHD+ panel, it ejects 550ppi, which is also denser than the Galaxy S10+. The display is also HDR10+ certified, so you can enjoy HDR content on it. As with the Galaxy S10+, you get an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S10.

The Galaxy S10 has a small fingerprint and the rounded aluminum frame makes it comfortable to hold in your hand. It has the SIM tray on top along with a microphone. At the bottom, it has a USB Type C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a speaker, along with the main microphone. The back of the Galaxy S10 is a fingerprint magnet and you will need to clean it frequently or put it in the clear plastic box that comes in the box.

Samsung pre-applies a screen saver on the screen that you may or may not like, but at least you won't have to look for one that works with the on-screen fingerprint scanner. There is still a Bixby button on the right, which you can use to activate Samsung's voice wizard. You also have the option of setting one or two presses to start a different application as long as the other of those presses still activates Bixby, as we mentioned in our Galaxy S10+ review.
The design of the perforator may not appeal to everyone, but we didn't have a problem with it.

The Galaxy S10 has a perforator design for its unique front camera. Yes, the content is lost in the upper right corner of the screen, but it didn't distract us. You'll get used to the design very quickly. If you don't like this, you have the option of masking the camera hole with a black band at the top of the screen.

On the back, Samsung has gone with a triple camera configuration identical to that of the Samsung Galaxy S10+. This model houses the heart rate sensor and a single latest flash.

Samsung ships the Galaxy S10 with quite a few new features in the box. It comes with a 15-watt fast charger, a USB type C to type A adapter, AKG-branded in-ear headphones and a transparent case.


Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10: Specifications And Software:

The three Galaxy S10 brothers have the same Samsung Exynos 9820 SoC, but the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 + get 8GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage for their basic variants, while the Galaxy S10e has to settle for a little less RAM. The Galaxy S10 plus also exist able in 512 GB of rom or hard drive. If you don't want to buy the higher priced Galaxy S10 variant, you can still use a microSD card in the dual SIM hybrid slot for up to 512 GB more space.

Connectivity options on the Galaxy S10 include dual 4G as well as VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, NFC, ANT+ and USB Type-C port. This phone also features four satellite systems for positioning. The samsung S10 plus is able to charging wirelessly. This feature is useful for charging smaller devices such as Galaxy Buds.


The Samsung Galaxy S10: Triple Camera Configuration on the Back.

Samsung galaxy S10 Plus has done excellent job on the software front face. You get the latest One UI based on Android 9 Foot. We have used this user interface in the Samsung Galaxy S10+ as well as in the Samsung Galaxy A50, and found it convenient to use. The digital wellness feature of Android 9 helps you control the amount of time you spend on various applications.

Samsung has also made some useful customizations, such as Smart Stay, which keeps the screen awake while you watch. There are plenty of shortcuts to hand movements and gestures. I have the option to switch to gesture navigation.

The Apps Edge shortcut bar can be accessed from any screen to launch applications. Samsung also offers a pop-up panel that allows compatible applications such as WhatsApp and Messages to scroll over any application to facilitate multitasking. Dual application support allows you to run two instances of some applications. The software experience is identical to that of the Galaxy S10+, so you can read it in more detail in our big brother review.

Galaxy S10 has quite a few pre-installed applications, but you can go ahead and uninstall most of them. We discovered that the My Galaxy application would send automatic notifications that will fill in the shaded notifications in the course of a day. We couldn't stop receiving messages, so we disabled notifications for this application altogether.


Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10, Performance, Cameras and Battery Life:

The Galaxy S10 has an excellent display that provides a crisp output. You'll enjoy it while playing or watching content, and honestly, we don't find the hand strike distracting. You can change the effective resolution as well as adjust the colours if you wish. We limit ourselves to the default Full HD + resolution and Vivid colour profile, but you can increase the resolution to QHD + native and choose Natural output if you don't want the colours to be seen anymore.

Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10, Performance, Cameras and Battery Life:

The Galaxy S10's speakers are good, and Samsung uses the background speaker with the headset to simulate a stereo effect. Dolby Atmos is compatible with both the headphones and the speaker, and this can be easily enabled with a quick switch. The speakers have enough volume for you to notice when you receive a call in a crowded place, and to enjoy videos and games on this phone. The headset is also noisy and we can easily hear the other person on the calls.

We had a clear idea of how the Samsung Exynos 9820 would behave as we have already tested the Galaxy S10+. The Galaxy S10 performed similarly and we didn't notice any delays or stuttering during our review. We also played PUBG Mobile, Asphalt 9: Legends and F1 Mobile. We found that PUBG Mobile ran smoothly in the High configuration, while Asphalt 9 Legends and F1 Mobile ran smoothly in the default configuration.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is a very Good Designed in Shape and Looks Premium:

After playing games for a while, we discovered that the phone would warm up to the touch, but not to an uncomfortable degree. After playing PUBG Mobile for 40 minutes, the battery level was reduced by 14 percent, which is acceptable. You can also check out our Galaxy S10+ games review to see how the Exynos 9820 works in different games. If you intend to stream Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, you'll be glad to know that this phone is compatible with Widevine L1 DRM so you can get content with the highest resolution available. We could also watch HDR videos on the device thanks to the HDR10+ screen.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is a very Good Designed in Shape and Looks Premium:

At benchmarks, the Galaxy S10 worked very well. It had 326,216 points in AnTuTu and achieved 7,862 in PCMark Work 2.0. This phone scored 4,467 and 9,711 in the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench 4, respectively. In the GFXBench T-Rex test bench, it managed to reach the maximum of 60 fps, while also returning to 57 fps in the Manhattan 3.1 test. Overall, these scores are similar to what the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e achieved in our tests.


The Triple Camera Configuration on the Galaxy S10 is Quite Versatile:

The Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ have the same camera configuration on the back, consisting of a 12 megapixel telephoto camera, 12 megapixel wide-angle camera and 16 megapixel ultra-wide camera, and both phones offer very similar photos and videos. The camera application is easy to use and there are several modes to choose from.

There are icons to switch between the three cameras. Daylight shots and macros are sharp and detailed. There is a scene optimizer that is able to recognize what the camera is pointing at and set the phone accordingly. We notice a slight improvement when we take pictures with the scene optimizer enabled. In macros, we notice that the scene optimizer increased the contrast.

We found the wide-angle camera useful for landscapes, but it resulted in barrel distortion at the edges. Samsung has thought about this and offers form correction options in the camera application.

When taking portrait shots in Live Focus mode, the phone can distinguish between subject and background and apply a blur effect quite well. It also allows you to change the intensity of the blur before you take a picture. What we found interesting is that we could also change the type of effect and intensity after taking the picture.

The Triple Camera Configuration on the Galaxy S10 is Quite Versatile:

The photos taken at night were bright and had a good amount of detail. We discovered that even in low light, the scene optimizer could detect what we were shooting, which helps us get clear results. The Galaxy S10 also managed to keep noise under control, as did the Galaxy S10+.

The 10 megapixel Selfie camera takes good pictures with lots of detail. With the Galaxy S10, you'll have to rely on a single auto-photo camera for Live Focus, as this phone lacks the depth sensor that the Galaxy S10+ has. Edge detection is acceptable, and we didn't have any problems.

The video recording reaches 4K at 60 fps for the rear camera, and 4K at 30fps for the auto-photo shooter. It gets a Super Slow video mode that allows it to shoot at 960 fps, and a super constant mode that uses the wide-angle sensor and trims the frame to allow for more stable shooting. Video stabilization is excellent, and this phone manages to fix most video jolts.

To make this phone sleek and compact, Samsung had to reduce the size of the battery, but the Galaxy S10 still has an acceptable 3400mAh battery. After starting the day at 9 am, running some landmarks, using Google Maps for navigation for an hour, taking several camera samples and playing 40 minutes of PUBG Mobile, we ended our day with the remaining 15 percent on the battery at 11 pm. We had the phone set to Full-HD+ at all times, and its mileage will change if the screen resolution changes. The Galaxy S10 managed to continue for 14 hours and 23 minutes in our HD video loop test.

The supplied charger is quick to charge the phone. We saw it rise to 50 percent in 27 minutes and it took about an hour and 15 minutes to fully charge. You can also use a compatible fast wireless charger if you wish.


Review By Expert: Samsung Galaxy S10: Verdict:

It is clear that the Galaxy S10 offers almost all the features and benefits of the Galaxy S10+ in a more compact body and at a more affordable price. Don't miss the latest generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner or the powerful Exynos 9820 SoC.

For people who don't like bulky phones and prefer relatively compact power, the Galaxy S10 should be the right one. Yes, it doesn't have that extra depth sensor on the front, which the Samsung Galaxy S10+ does, but that shouldn't matter if you don't take a lot of selfies. If you're looking for a smartphone that does it all and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, your search ends here.
