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’.

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)


100	The Guardian \| Samuel Gibbs 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. Read full review
100	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. Read full review
100	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. Read full review
100	Stuff \| Tom Morgan 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. Read full review
100	Ubergizmo \| Hubert Nguyen The Galaxy S10 is a perfect smartphone. It is very balanced and performs extremely well at everything. Read full review
93	Android Authority \| Eric Zeman Galaxy S10 is a killer phone that delivers near-perfect performance across the board. Read full review
92	NotebookCheck \| Daniel Schmidt 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. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
90	TechnoBuffalo \| Nirave Gondhia 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. Read full review
90	Trusted Reviews \| Max Parker The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the best Android phone you can buy today. I'm sure that's exactly what Samsung was aiming for. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
90	SlashGear \| Chris Davies 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. Read full review
90	Mobile Syrup \| Patrick O'Rourke You really do get what you pay for when it comes to the S10. Read full review
90	Gizmodo UK \| Sam Rutherford The Galaxy S10 is a tribute to the hardware gods... It comes the closest to making all those pennies worth it. Read full review
90	BGR \| Zach Epstein The Galaxy 10 isn't just a big step forward for Samsung, it's a giant leap ahead of the competition. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews \| Nathan Spendelow 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. Read full review
80	PC Mag 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. Read full review
80	Australian PC World \| Fergus Halliday ... if you lean towards more compact handsets, the Galaxy S10 is one of the best Android handsets you can buy in 2019. Read full review
80	TechRadar \| Matt Swider, John McCann 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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	91mobiles \| Nitansh Rastogi 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. Read full review
80	Tom's Guide \| Caitlin McGarry The 6.1-inch Galaxy S10 is the middle child of the S10 lineup, but don't sleep on this powerful smartphone or its beautiful display. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
