The tenth phone in Samsung’s much-lauded Galaxy S series is an impressive refresh of the previous model, the Galaxy S9. With some nifty hardware upgrades, slick software and novel design changes, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is a superb all-round phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S10: In more detail

One of the S10’s most striking new features is its gorgeous 6.1-inch Infinity-O display - an edge-to-edge screen with a laser cut ‘punch-hole’ in the top right corner for the front camera. It’s a novel new look and a sleeker take on the notches we saw last year. The display also features an invisible in-screen fingerprint sensor, and there’s a new triple-lens camera with the ability to take ultra-wide photos. Whilst the S10 isn’t a huge reinvention from previous models, reviewers agree that it’s an excellent all-rounder, with Gizmodo calling it ‘a celebration of smartphone tech sophistication’ and Digital Trends calling it ‘the do-it-all phone you want’.

Design

The overall look of the S10 is similar to the S9, with a few enhancements. A thinner aluminium frame is housed between smooth glass panels, with the back coming in six different colours: Flamingo Pink, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism White, Canary Yellow and Prism Green.

The in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor combines with a very subtle camera bump on the back to give this phone a clean, elegant finish. There’s also a reverse wireless charging module located below the rear camera, which handily allows you to charge your friends’ phones - though Samsung has cleverly managed to conceal this completely too.

As TechRadar noted, all that sleekness does make it a little slippery to hold - although a case will easily solve that problem.

Display

Samsung is famed for its exceptional smartphone displays, and the S10 doesn’t disappoint. The 6.1-inch Super AMOLED panel is big, bright and beautiful. DisplayMate, the world’s leading display authority, found it to be the most colour-accurate display ever, describing its colour accuracy as ‘visually indistinguishable from perfect’.

The Infinity-O screen is a standout new feature, with the bezel-less edges, larger display size and punch-hole camera giving you more screen space than ever. Even with a larger screen (the S9’s was 5.8 inches) Samsung has managed to make the S10 noticeably thinner and lighter than the S9, and only marginally taller and wider.

Performance and battery

The S10 has seen a significant upgrade under the hood. It’s powered by the new Exynos 9820 processor, which is powerful enough to handle pretty much anything with ease. Coupled with 8GB of RAM (compared to the S9’s 4GB), it makes for a slick user experience.

The battery has been bumped up too - it’s now 3,400mAh (compared to 3,000mAh in the S9), although the bigger screen is likely to eat up some of that extra battery power. Samsung claims a single charge will last 24 hours.

Camera

The S10’s triple-lens camera has a 12MP main lens, a 12MP optically zoomed telephoto lens, and a new 16MP ultra-wide lens.

In good light it takes excellent photos, with sharp detail and vibrant, accurate colours. It also performs well in low light, although it lacks a night mode to rival those seen on Google and Huawei’s latest phones. The ultra-wide lens has a 123-degree field of view, allowing you to fit much more into the frame, although it sometimes creates a bit of a fisheye effect.


Overall, it’s a fantastic camera, with the Guardian calling it ‘as good as the best of its rivals’ and TechRadar saying ‘it ranks among the best camera phones for 2019’.

If you're looking for a great phone that's on the smaller side of the gigantic-phone revolution, there aren't many better than the Galaxy S10.

T3 | Aaron Brown

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.

IT PRO | Adam Sheperd

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a refinement of the formula that brought us the outstanding S9 and Note 9 devices. It's gorgeous to look at, satisfying to use and hits just about every mark. It might be expensive - but it's worth every penny.

The S10 is better than ever. The mainstream Galaxy might now play middle child to more powerful and more affordable variants, but there's nothing else running Android that's quite as well-rounded.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a fantastic flagship smartphone with few weaknesses. It hardly brings anything new to the party though, and its poor battery life will put some people off.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

A compact and powerful phone that offers a great consistent experience. The battery life isn't great and the camera isn't best in class when it comes to mode challenging situations. The software remains some of the most mature and comprehensive making it a pleasure to use, but there are equally-powerful rivals available for less money.

It offers the best Galaxy experience, but if the slightly larger battery and display are not critical to you, the regular Galaxy S10 offers the same overall experience.

Wired | Jeffrey Van Camp

Regardless of the model, the Galaxy S10 is a step forward for Samsung. No, it can't fold in half or connect to 5G networks, but it delivers in ways that matter and doesn't suffer from some of the drawbacks Galaxy phones have had in the past.

The Galaxy S10 family are flagship phones at flagship prices. You don't need a Galaxy S10, then, but I can name plenty of reasons why you might consider its price tag justified... We have a new king.

Samsung's Galaxy S10 still represents the very pinnacle of smartphone technology. It moves things on in design, drawing level with Apple in terms of pure aesthetics, while simultaneously introducing a wealth of welcome new additions.

The midsize Samsung Galaxy S10 has all the attractive features of the S10+ for less money, but we still think the smaller S10e is a better buy.

It's an undeniably great phone... Just know that it comes at a high price and the Galaxy S10e and S10 Plus flank it from both sides of the coin as better options.

AndroidPit | Steffen Herget

The complete package of the Galaxy S10 meets high expectations and in some places even exceeds them. But the weaknesses in the battery are the real catch of the Galaxy S10... For me, Samsung offers what I want in all areas and even more - except for the battery. Too bad.

The Galaxy S10 sits perfectly in the middle and even though it misses out on the secondary depth camera on the front and is powered by a 3,400mAh cell, it does deliver a powerful flagship experience.

The Verge | Dan Seifert

I think the S10 Plus' extra cost will be worth it for those who want the absolute best battery life they can get, while the S10E will be more appealing to people who are looking for a smaller phone or wanting to save some money. That leaves the standard S10 in a sort of weird middle ground where it doesn't really stand out or excel at anything.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
