Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy S10
Samsung has priced the smaller version of the top-tier S10 models more attractively than the S10+. In addition to its smaller display comes a lower capacity battery, a single front-facing camera along with less internal storage. Likewise, there is no option for a ceramic back as there is with the S10+. Read on to find out how the Galaxy S10 compares against its Plus namesake and how it stands up against other modern flagships.
Update: Additional battery life tests added.

The Galaxy S10 was indeed a very special flagship for Samsung as it brings a new design language as well. Not just that it also marks the 10th anniversary of the premium flagship lineup. With the 10th gen of the most successful lineup, Samsung brought a number of new upgrades ranging from design, display, powerful hardware, and new triple cameras setup. It was also the company’s first phone with Corning Gorilla Glass 6, PowerShare and Under-glass fingerprint scanner. Last but not least all these goodies come at a significantly higher price than the predecessor. Overall the S10 is a solid flagship offering a lot of stuff for people who are looking for a compact premium phone.

Even more than a year since its release, the Galaxy S10 offers superfast performance and a beautiful display, with a less distracting camera cutout than on the larger, pricier S10 Plus. I also love that the S10 offers my favorite feature, Wireless PowerShare. That means you don't have to splurge on the priciest Galaxy to reverse-charge all of your devices.

For those who don't want to jump to the bigger, even more feature-packed, more expensive S10 Plus, the Galaxy S10 represents the pinnacle of smartphone manufacturing in 2019. It oozes style, packs a real performance punch, and takes impressive photos, as well as offering a few tricks (like reversible charging) to make the upgrade worth it.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 has a hard time standing on its own. While it is easy to recommend the excellent Galaxy S10 Plus for its battery or the Galaxy S10e for its lower price, it's hard to say the S10 is a better option than either. Let's be clear, the Galaxy S10 is a killer phone that delivers near-perfect performance across the board. The conundrum is deciphering whether it's worth the step up from the S10e, or a step down from the S10 Plus when price and feature list are compared. The S10 may be just right for many, while not enough or too much for others.

The Galaxy S10 is a fitting 10th anniversary phone for Samsung and its storied S series. It delivers on change with a novel-looking Infinity-O screen so large it displaces the front camera, and a triple-lens rear camera that takes ultra-wide photos. Its in-screen fingerprint sensor tech should serve you well, while its Wireless PowerShare could serve your friends well.

Also, if you're particularly flush with cash and in an area with 5G connectivity (or in an area where it's coming soon), there's also a 5G version of the S10 to consider. As well as that next-gen cellular tech, the differences with the standard S10 are a huge 6.7 inch screen and a dual-lens selfie camera. You can buy the S10 5G now for US$1,299.

The Pixel 3 and iPhone XS sport better cameras, depending on whether you prefer more-dramatic or more-natural shots. And if you want longer battery life, the S10 Plus is a better bet, provided you can handle a larger, 6.4-inch screen. We do prefer the S10 to the value-priced OnePlus 6t, based on our face-off.

As a device, the S10 offers excellence on many fronts. However, across many of these fronts, it feels like Samsung are struggling to keep up rather than leading by example. They're setting the baseline rather than the world record when it comes to the quality of Android smartphones. The Galaxy S10 is great but it falls short of being “the best Android handset” you can buy right now, and that really says it all.

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ start at $899.99 and $999.99, respectively, and the base models ship with 8GB of RAM as well as 128GB of storage and microSDXC support. That means for $100 less than the base iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models, you get twice as much storage along with expandable memory. The Galaxy S10 series is still quite expensive, but that comparison should help put things in perspective.

Samsung unveiled three new Galaxy S10 series models at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday - the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10e. Samsung's latest flagship offerings are packed to the gills with features in the hope of giving sales at the top-end of the market a boost after the underwhelming showing by the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy Note 9. The headline feature on the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ is perhaps the in-display “ultrasonic” fingerprint scanner, while all three new phones feature “hole-punch” selfie cameras at the top-right.

So here’s a revelation on our part that may surprise you: The Galaxy S10e was our favorite of the three models, at least until we had played with the ceramic version of the Galaxy S10+. We are quite happy to see a smaller flagship phone with a flat display. The look and feel of the S10e was unexpectedly nice, and we can see a lot of consumers being attracted by the Galaxy S10e.

As a result, we need to be smart about what we test. Because these are offered in two versions each, with either the Qualcomm or Samsung chips, what type of review would you prefer to see?

The Galaxy S10 5G is a smartphone for early adopters – those who are willing to grab a new technology with both hands, and don’t mind paying for the privilege. The huge display is great for videos and gaming, but it may not realize its full potential for months.

Finally, if you want to futureproof yourself for 5G, or you just want the absolute biggest display you can get, the S10 5G is the only choice for you. Unfortunately, this option won't be available in Singapore since we're nowhere near having an official 5G infrastructure.

Together, the Galaxy S10E, S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus will shoulder the heavy burden of fending off competitors and holding people's interest until 5G and foldable phones become much more vital to the mainstream.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is every bit a flagship smartphone even if it is the smaller sibling of the S10 Plus. Specs are toned down in some aspects like front camera, memory configuration, and battery capacity, but it’s running the same powerful chipset and triple rear cameras. It’s just a more compact S10 Plus. We’re still playing around with the Galaxy S10 so stay tuned for our full review.

Samsung has fired the first shot in the 2019 Smartphone war with the launch of not one but four new Galaxy S10 models. Traditionally, Samsung has launched its flagship Galaxy S phones in Barcelona, however this year, the Korean Electronics giant chose the Bill Graham Civic auditorium in San Francisco for its UnPacked 2019 event.

Samsung’s new pair of Galaxies are the best they’ve ever put out, with every conceivable new smartphone feature packed into their sexy, glass bodies. Will it be enough to drive sales back? It depends – people who want the best features in a flagship will probably gravitate to these two, while people who just want the essentials and a taste of Samsung’s top-end features will naturally gravitate to the more affordable S10e.

At Unpacked 2019, Samsung also revealed just how much the new phones cost with prices for the Galaxy S10e starting from US$749 (RM3,045), the Galaxy S10 from US$899 (about RM3,655) and the Galaxy S10+ from US$999 (about RM4,062). These prices aren’t indicative of how much it will cost when it lands in Malaysia as taxes and other factors like shipping have to be taken into account but Samsung Malaysia has revealed the prices and other details for their Galaxy S10 series preorder programme .

Samsung’s S line has typically gone on sale in March and this year is no different, except for the previously mentioned Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Plus will be open for pre-order Feb. 21 and should reach stores March 8.

The Galaxy S10 has certainly upped the ante, on paper. There's something for everyone when it comes to screen size, assuming you're prepared to put your hand fairly deeply into your pocket.

The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ will be available -- priced from $749.99, $899.99 and $999.99 respectively -- from the usual suspects (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular) and unlocked directly from Samsung. Preorders open up tomorrow, and the smartphones will ship (and be available in stores) on March 8th. We should also note that Samsung is throwing in a free set of Galaxy Buds with preorders. Availability for the Galaxy S10 5G is slated for the first half of 2019.

Finally, I have to really applaud (as weird and sad as that is…) Samsung for continuing to employ a 3.5mm headphone jack on the new Galaxy S10. It’s been very evident that there’s been numerous phone manufacturers who have dropped the headphone jack without much of a plan of what to do to replace its functionality while keeping good and practical audio quality. The fact that Samsung introduced a new set of wireless headphones without getting rid of the standard 3.5mm jack showcases you can have the best of both worlds. Actually if you’d also account for the fact that Samsung also notably increased the battery capacity while keeping the jack further seems to discredit some of the nonsensical rationales we’ve been presented over the past year or two.

Regarding specific storage and size variants, the Galaxy S10 is available in 128GB of storage with 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage with 8GB of RAM. The S10+ features 128GB of Storage with 8GB of RAM for the standard version, and 512GB with 8GB or 1TB with 12GB for the Ceramic version of the smartphone.

Still, with bigger and better displays, scalable cameras and an impressive new in-display biometric solution, the mainline Galaxy S10 and S10+ are feats of engineering. Samsung may not sit alone at the top of the Android throne anymore — Huawei and other Chinese up-and-comers are nipping at its heels — but it still knows how to make one hell of an entrance.

Predictably, the latest high-end Galaxies don't fail to dazzle. They have the fine build that we've come to expect from Samsung's flagships, class-leading displays that are now synonymous with the brand and cameras that have taken the next evolutionary step by embracing the ultra-wide angle modes. Oh, and also internals that make competing offerings seem like a compromise.

With each year passing in the smartphone market it's increasingly difficult to produce a device markedly better than the previous one, so it's almost foolish to expect a major jump or revamp over the last. For Samsung, the age-old "if it ain't broke" mantra most definitely applies. There are improvements, and in some areas even market leading ideas, like the UltraSonic fingerprint sensor which - we hope - outperforms the current in-display optical ones.

While we love the notch-free Infinity Display O, the suped-up battery, and the promise of the 8nm chip, the S10 isn't exciting enough - if only it folded.

Model: The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a flagship smartphone that introduces the next generation of Samsung's mobile innovation. The S10 is completely redesigned to remove interruptions from user’s view. It has no notch, thus no distractions. It features precise laser cutting, on-screen security, and a 6.1” Dynamic AMOLED that's easy on the eyes. The Infinity-O display is the most innovative Galaxy screen yet. The dynamic AMOLED screen is HDR10+ certified. Dynamic Tone Mapping ensures amazingly real color and contrast in each scene, even the dark ones. And the brighter screen helps users see it clearly even in bright daylight. Paired with stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos, the experience is truly immersive. Samsung moved the fingerprint scanner from the back to the front, creating a revolutionary, on-screen sensor. Using ultrasonic pulses, it detects the 3D ridges and valleys of the user’s fingerprint, so only the user can access his phone. It's secure and convenient, even allowing users to unlock, drag, and hold to open the app they want.
As for the camera, it has a triple camera setup consisting of a 12 MP, f/1.5-2.4, 26 mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4 µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS camera, another 12 MP, f/2.4, 52 mm (telephoto), 1/3.6", 1.0 µm, AF, OIS, 2x optical zoom camera, as well as a 16 MP rear camera. For the selfie camera, it has a 10 MP camera with f/1.9, 26 mm (wide), 1.22 µm, Dual Pixel PDAF. The f2.4 aperture mode helps photos come out sharp in bright daylight, whereas the f1.5 aperture mode pulls in more light to brighten up low light scenes. A dual pixel sensor captures action shots with precision and clarity, for in-focus selfies that are well-lit, even in low light.
Delivering performance to the Samsung Galaxy S10 is a Exynos 9820 octa (8 nm) CPU processor with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. It also has a Neural Processing Unit, so it recognizes more scenes with greater accuracy. It's how the Galaxy S10 detects the environment with Scene Optimizer and sees more with Bixby Vision. The Intelligent Performance Enhancer recognizes mobile habits, optimizing the way users interact with the phone. It even anticipates needs and preloads frequently used apps so they launch instantly. As for battery, it packs in a non-removable Li-Ion 3,400 mAh battery at 7.8 mm device thickness and a weight of 157 g, running on Android 9.0 (Pie) with One UI.
Thanks to the power of Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, the S10 wirelessly charges faster than previous Galaxy phones when using a Samsung Wireless Charger Duo Pad, and with the charger's Turbo Cooling Fan, users won't have to worry about phone overheating. The Galaxy S10 also feature an IP68 rating, the highest mobile device standard for water and dust resistance. Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is certainly different from the previous S series smartphones. Not only the hardware but the entire design is different. It is recommended for business or power users who have a high budget for a new smartphone.
