About this deal

At this point it's been fairly well established that Samsung is capable of making some fantastic-looking smartphones, and the Galaxy S10 is by no means a disappointment in this regard.

For Samsung's latest flagship phone, which has only been on the market a month or so and received a perfect 5-star score from us on review, we think that is a great package. The question is whether the extra money you'll pay over a mid-range phone is worth the extra performance you're going to be able to get from the Galaxy S10. The Galaxy S10 can get a full recharge in as little as an hour and a half using the bundled, wired charger, and you've got the option of wireless too. We wouldn't say it's a major issue but you might have to have a second attempt at unlocking maybe one time in five. For the time being at least, the biggest rivals to the Samsung Galaxy S10 are the Galaxy S10 Plus and the Galaxy S10e: you can spend a little more for a bigger phone or a little less for a more compact one.The RAM and processor packed in here are certainly more than capable of coping with everything a phone needs to do in 2019. As with previous entries in the Galaxy S series, handsets sold in the United States and China are powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor – the Snapdragon 855 in this case. If you're more of a lightweight phone user, you probably don't need all of the power the Galaxy S10 offers up.

Samsung's experimentation with the notch continues with a hole-punch cut-out in the top right-hand corner, known as an "Infinity-O" display in Samsung parlance. The display also curves over the edges of the handset, creating the familiar, futuristic finish we’ve become accustomed to on Samsung’s flagship phones, and continues elegantly to the curved glass backing. Reversible wireless charging is supported as well, so you can juice up other devices on the back of the S10 (provided you have 30 percent or more charge left on your phone at the time). That's fine, but not game-changing, and it's worse than (for example) the Xiaomi Mi 9– but then the Mi 9 doesn't have such a quality display, so it's all about compromises.According to Samsung, one of the biggest improvements to the Exynos 9820 is power efficiency, which has been improved 40 percent over the predecessor that powered the Galaxy S9.

That's a decent-sized battery, but the S10 has a bright, big, high-resolution screen, which takes its toll on battery life. Other new features are more forgettable, like the Live Focus that can adds an artificial bokeh-style blur, a partial greyscale filter, or a swirling blur to the background behind your chosen subject. It's not quite the best take on Android we've ever seen ( hello OnePlus), and it won't necessarily get updates as fast as other handsets ( hello Pixels), but it's an improvement over Samsung's previous attempts to build on top of Google's source code. Granted, we've seen many of these features before – the Infinity-O design (debuting on the Galaxy A8s), the fingerprint scanner (the OnePlus 6T), the reversible charging (Huawei Mate 20 Pro), but everything feels a little more polished and less gimmicky here.With that in mind, it sensibly shifts all the interactive elements of the user interface into the lower-third of the screen where they're within easy reach. 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. Just how good it is will come down to where you are, but if you want to futureproof your smartphone, you won’t find a 5G phone with more bells or whistles than the S10 5G.
