Samsung Galaxy S10+
Key specs
Critic consensus
“It's undoubtedly the best Samsung flagship ever made, and it can hold its own in a lot of areas. It's not the perfect smartphone for everyone, but it could very well be the best smartphone for most people.”
“The Galaxy S10+ is an S9+ with an extra camera. So that would be 2 more cameras then if you're coming from the S8+, all by itself making it a worthy upgrade. If you're coming from the S9+ it's not as simple, though we would argue that with the S10+ the YoY improvements are more meaningful than what we had in 2018 - the ones we can name, but also the cumulative all-around refinement.”
“The Samsung Galaxy S10+ follows many current technology trends and integrates them successfully into a compelling package.”
“I think when you are charging $900-$1,000 for an Android phone, you ought to be able to offer the whole smartphone package. But Samsung's cluttered software and its historic inability to deliver the latest functionality and security improvements in Android make the Galaxy S10 a tough sell at this ultra-premium price point. High prices come with high expectations. You'll have to accept a lot of compromises with the Galaxy S10, and I just don't see a reason to.”
Watch before you decide
In Depth
As the largest — and priciest — phone in Samsung’s S10 lineup, the S10 Plus promises the best experience around. But the differences between the S10 Plus are more subtle than the marketing lets on.
It shares many similarities with the smaller S10 and S10e, including:
- Screen resolution
- Processor
- Water and dust resistance
- Rear cameras
The only major difference lies in the front camera. Where the other two models use a 10MP front-facing lens, the S10 Plus also includes an 8MP depth-sensing camera to provide bokeh effects and other tweaks when taking selfies.
The screen size is also slightly bigger at 6.4 inches.
There are, however, a few more options available than on the other models.
Storage options include 128GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
If you opt for the 1TB model, you can also choose from two exclusive rear shells — ceramic black or ceramic white. However, some reviewers felt the ceramic colors felt cheap.
The 1TB model also includes a whopping 12GB of RAM as opposed to the 8GB of the other models. This should help heavy multi-taskers and add some future proofing to the phone. But some reviewers question if a phone needs that much RAM today.
Lastly, there’s a 4,110mAh battery. For most reviewers, this was the best reason to consider the phone over the smaller S10. No one had issues hitting a full day on a single charge, with many lasting into the second day with little worry.
If you’re looking for a phone that won’t leave you worried about charging, the S10 Plus is definitely worth considering.
CNet summed up opinions well, saying, “Galaxy S10 Plus is a killer phone for 2019, although serious photographers will find its nighttime camera shots lacking.”
Otherwise, you’ll find same stellar performance, excellent screen, and sluggish fingerprint scanner found in the S10. For more on what to expect, be sure to check our S10 Review Summary for more information.
