Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus | Hands-on Review

Hands-on review with Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus smartphone, the biggest and most premium of the new 2019 flagships. Here we run through the specs and best features of the S10+ including a close look at the triple-lens camera hardware, performance, One UI and in-display fingerprint sensor.

The 6.4-inch S10 Plus is Samsung's comeback kid, boasting five camera lenses, reverse wireless charging, Wi-Fi 6 support and loads of great new tools and features. That Infinity-O screen boasts a Quad HD+ resolution and HDR10+ support, so you can expect seriously gorgeous visuals.

You can capture amazing quality photos on the S10+ too, if our test session is anything to go by, complete with a new Best Shot feature and Huawei-style flexibility. Even the front camera offers a dual lens setup, adding a depth sensor for those Live Focus pics. You can shoot 4K resolution video on the rear cam, up to 60FPS, with an HDR mode also now available.

Check out our early review of the Galaxy S10e for a close look at Samsung's more compact new handset, and our in-depth coverage will be coming soon. We'll also update here once we have full UK price info.

Any stabization and video quality improvements ?

The one you're holding is the Ceramic White model which weighs 198 grams, still lighter than the Note 9 by about 3 grams, not 175. The normal glass models are 175 grams for the S10+. Also, you can only get either the 512gb or 1tb version in Ceramic White/Ceramic Black, not just the 1tb.

Glad to see 8gb ram is the base model for the S10+. Great job Chris as always. Much love from Ireland

[TheRealFlyingMonkey]

Is there any information on the price difference based on hard drive size?

[kamkhan]

Does the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner work fine with third party screen-protectors?

The s10plus appears to be a beastly phone. The HDR10+ display, which is the absolute best. The ultra sonic FPS & all the other premium features per usual. I like how they make a 6.4in display compact. Same size as the s9+ & weighs less. And the 4100mamp battery which I'm a huge fan of. I use the s9+ and I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade? Is the 855 that much faster or is the display that much brighter? I was gonna pre-order but I guess I'd rather wait for the full reviews. Will the battery be that much better than the 3500mamp? Maybe better to wait when your spending a g-whizz?

I need a video showing the difference between the s10 vs s10+ front facing cameras to see if it justifies the cost. The battery is very interesting but the camera will push me over the edge.

The S10 looks class. I was watching this review with my young nephew. The 'left bollock' comment caught us off guard a bit 😆 Keep it clean Recombu!

[juliansalem]

Can you guys tell me real quick the list of phones with 5G available that will come in Q1 !?

[dansari]

Looks great, but so does my Note 9. I’ll wait til Note 12 comes out!

[archanapriya]

Is there charging notification on this Samsung Galaxy s10 plus

[Yunus_-]
