Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus review
2 minute reviewThe Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is the almost everything included Samsung phone you really want if you can afford it, can handle its massive display, and don’t want the finally announced Samsung Galaxy Note 10 that’s even more premium.
We were immediately drawn to the coque samsung galaxy s9 clear view Galaxy S10 Plus as the bigger and better version of the Galaxy S10 and cheaper Galaxy S10e. It redefines what a ‘phablet’ is in 2019, with a 6.4 inch edge to edge screen so large it displaces the front camera to a hole in the top corner. It Samsung marginally better answer to the iPhone XS notch.
With a 93.1% screen to body ratio, the pixels now stretch from the small top speaker down to the thin bottom chin, and spill over the curved left and right edges. This is the best looking screen in a smartphone, bar none. Hidden under the glass is an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the front, and the new Wireless PowerShare feature on back, allowing you to Qi charge other devices.
The back has a triple lens camera that takes normal, telephoto, and new ultra wide photos. You can capture more of what’s in front of you without having to take a few steps back. This isn’t the best camera phone next to the Huawei P30 Pro, but Samsung offers a fun to use, versatile camera.
We’ve seen some of these ideas before from Huawei and LG. But the S10 Plus is an amalgam of hallmark features in rival handsets with a dose of first to launch aspects like faster Wi Fi 6 and an HDR10+ screen. It’s the best overall package in among big pricey, smartphones.
Sold To coque samsung galaxy s7 edge transparent complicate your buying decision, the Galaxy S10 5G is an even bigger and better S10 phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is even more premium as a Samsung smartphone, and if you’ve got all the money in the world, the foldable Samsung Galaxy Fold is also available to buy.
Despite these newer handsets, the S10 Plus is best Samsung phone, if you can handle the price and size.

The S10 Plus release date was March 8, and it costs more than its predecessor, the S9 Plus, although you can now coque samsung s3 italie find both phones on sale for a bit cheaper now that we’re in the latter half of 2019.
At launch, it cost $999 / / AU$1,499 for the 128GB of storage model with 8GB of RAM, matching the Note 9 launch price, and $80 / more than the S9 Plus. The 512GB version with a ceramic coque samsung s7 edge brillante back is $1,249 / / AU$1,849.

While expensive, the coque samsung galaxy grand primeamazon S10 Plus with 128GB remains cheaper than its closest rival, the iPhone XS Max. Apple still charges $1,150 coque iphone 6 flip cover / / AU$1,799 for 64GB of storage and no microSD card slot, and its smaller 5.8 inch iPhone XS, also with half the storage and no microSD slot, ties the price of this 128GB 6.4 inch ebay coque samsung j5 2016 Samsung phone.
Since release, the Galaxy S10 Plus price has gone down slightly, and now you can pick it up for a reduced price, but it’s still a far cry from ‘cheap’.
I spy, with my little eye, a dual ‘punch hole’ camera. Image Credit: TechRadar Display6.4 inch QHD+ screen with an impressive 93.1% screen to body ratioInfinity O display type’s punch hole fits two front camera in top rightFirst phone with HDR10+, but beware of false touches from lack of bezelThe 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus makes this the biggest S phone screen to date bigger than 5.8 inch Galaxy S9 Plus and matching the Note 9 screen size. It’s also a lot better.
The main draw for us is the 93.1% screen to body coque samsung galaxy s7 edge cultura ratio that fits more pixels across a tighter body. Samsung’s new Infinity O display avoids using a notch by opting for a laser cut hole in the top right corner for the front camera.
The hole in this ‘punch hole’ display is extra large, as Samsung dropped in two front cameras to take better portrait selfies than the single lens Galaxy S10 and S10e front cameras. Good news, we not found it too distracting.
The default resolution is Full HD+, but you can crank it to QHD+ and it’s pin sharp, with HDR10+ for superior contrast and color. That’s coque samsung wave gt s8500 an important perk if you a movie watcher on your phone an idea which isn so crazy its size.
One drawback to Samsung chipping away bezel: we found our encroaching palms making false touches on the sensitive screen (especially when typing), often flipping our on screen keyboard between letters and numbers to output a coque samsung a8 spigen bunch of gobbledygook in embarrassing messages. iPhone owners accustomed to more otherwise ugly bezel and better palm rejection software, beware.
The Infinity O display is Samsung’s new look for 2019, and it enough of a change if you’ve been demanding something new. It looks fantastic, with bright, colorful reproduction making the best of images, icons, apps, games and video.
There’s a dedicated Bixby button below the volume rocker. (Image Credit: TechRadar) DesignHigh end 512GB/1TB version comes with a premium ceramic backPerks: reverse wireless charging (new) and headphone jack (age old)You’ll want a case to avoid dropping this big, slippery phoneThe S10 Plus design is full of surprises, new and old. Its aluminum frame is thinner than that of the S9 Plus, and still sandwiched between smooth Gorilla Glass 6. Color choices are white, black and green, while the 512GB and 1TB versions are backed by ceramic in either white or black.
The back of the Galaxy S10 Plus almost flush, with a triple lens camera array that has a very subtle bump outlining it, and you won’t be able to see the reverse wireless charging module is located below this.
It’s roughly the dimensions of the S9 Plus and feels better in hand than the physically bigger Note 9, which has a 83.4% screen to body ratio. It’s surprisingly easy to hold in the hand for a handset, though those with smaller palms will find the coque samsung a3 liberty glass amazon coque samsung galaxy j7 2017 and metal finish offers little in the way of grip. We found ourselves using two hands, especially to type, and suggest a case before walking out of the store with this one.
On the left side, the volume rocker sits above a dedicated key for Samsung’s smart assistant, Bixby. Press this, and you’ll launch enlever la coque samsung coque iphone 6 fk galaxy s4 the assistant, giving you quick access to voice commands and the Bixby Today screen. Unfortunately, it a little too easy to mistake this AI key for the volume down button. Good news, Samsung is coque samsung a6 blanc letting users re map the undesirable Bixby button this time.
Samsung remains one of the few phone makers that hasn ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack, and what impressive is that it also trying to sell its wireless Galaxy Buds without axing this venerable feature. It a show of strength that the company went with a consumer friendly design choice here.
There’s a fingerprint scanner located just about the home button. (Image Credit: TechRadar) In screen fingerprint sensorIn screen fingerprint sensor is novel and mostly works for us nowUltrasonic sensor works better than optical, but requires more pressureStill not as fast or coque iphone 6 world as fool proof as a traditional fingerprint sensorThe fingerprint sensor is another feature that performs an invisible trick, taking a 3D scan of your print. It’s more accurate than the Huawei Mate 20 and coque dark vador iphone 6 OnePlus coque samsung galaxy s4 elephant 6T optical in screen fingerprint scanners, even when our print was a bit wet. Its downside is a slower speed and the fact that more pressure is required.
We experienced some failures due it incorrect placement at first, and with no physical ridge to guide our finger we don’t expect to eliminate failures completely. In time, we went from a first time recognition success rate of 80% to a 95% success rate. Some of that was an update and some of it came down to getting used to the invisible sensor location…
