Samsung Galaxy S10 5G vs S10 Plus | Bigger, and better?

Comparing Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus with the new S10 5G, to see which mighty 2019 smartphone is best for you. It's not just the 5G connectivity which separates these two - the specs and camera tech are also different in quite a few ways, as is the battery life.

The S10+ might seem like a beast at 6.4-inches, yet the 6.7-inch Galaxy S10 5G is the biggest Samsung phone around. That's not the only hardware difference either. You get a larger 4500mAh battery in comparison to the Plus model's 4100mAh cell, while the more premium smartphones also boasts quick charge at 25W.

The S10 5G serves up a bonus ToF camera lens around back, while also swapping out the front 8MP depth sensor for a second ToF lens. Those camera features and performance are almost identical however, with the exception of the new Live Focus video mode.

Speed-wise, these phones are comparable - they both serve up the same specs, although the S10+ can be grabbed with 12GB RAM (can anyone say 'overkill'). However, the 5G version delivers better battery life, even if it lacks the expandable storage of the Plus.

Remember when 5 inch screens were phablets? Now it's like, eh, 6.7, not too big.

Dynamic Island was ripped off from this phone

I purchased a S10+ last week. Superb phone. I also have the newer S20+. I prefer the S10+ as it is not as big & heavy. An older S9+ is about to be sold. I didn't go for a S10 5G for the following reasons. No headphone jack or SD card slot. about £50-£70 difference in price too. I paid £230 for a prism white & unlocked S10+ from CeX. Came with a warranty.

Had both, but kept the 5G model - not for 5G but for it's beautiful screen, better battery life and camera. Oh and I got it new for £600 - which is a steal!

Two years on from when these were released the headphone connections keep these phones a winner..

You didnt mention the power button placement. Much more natural on the 5g. Glad I swapped from the plus as I'm finding it much nicer to use.

It's up to your budget. I have the 5g version. The camera is excellent. Charging is fast. Last all day with constant usage. Larger screen is beautiful. 4g is more reliable and faster.

To be honest, I would buy an s10 plus, but I would prefer an s10 5g cuz of the battery and charging and in school people who have big phones are generally cool lol

30% of the comments make jokes about the title, 60% ask for the wallpaper, 10% talk about the actual video.

No SD Card expansion slot for 5G? That's a deal breaker, S10+ for me, not to mention more RAM & Storage options!

[TempoDisc]

I got a S10+... It is still an Absolute beast in 2024 also...

[FabienCharles]

Thanks for the great video! Can you do a Note 10 vs S10 5G in August please? I'll be waiting for that video.

[jaydencameron]

I've had both but i personally recommended the 5G one works like a dream.

[archibaldatienza]

Where do you get your wallpapers? Specially those steins gate ones.

Thank u for the information. Have a great day

S10+ does come with a screen protector

Im watching this using my Samsung S10 5G which I bought from korea directly in the samsung store and I can say it works perfectly fine and still feels a flagship phone! And I got it only 400 dollars for a brandnew unit! Limited stocks though cause samsung already phase out the S10 series...

Didn't know the 5G was bigger than the plus, but I should of known. They're basically the same minus the battery capacity and some camera specs that don't matter much, to me anyways. I have the S10+ 1TB with 512MB MicroSD card. If I didn't have this phone and deciding between the two, I would hands down pick the plus because of the space alone and extra storage slot. The size is big enough for me.

Though i'm confused on the plus not supporting 5G. Most of the time my mobile signal has 5G next to 5bars. If it doesn't support 5G, then why is the 5G showing up and not 4G?
