The phone itself is superb, it's a Samsung flagship after all. The screen is fantastic, as is the camera. But when I received the phone it looked like it had a scratch on the top of the handset.

You might be disappointed that it doesn't bend, but 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.

Samsung's best-looking phone to date; Superb camera; Long-lasting battery life

Much cheaper alternatives available; Lack of HDR 10+ content

The Galaxy S10 is a little better than the S10e in a bunch of ways, including more RAM, another rear camera, and that snazzy curved-front design. It's worse in one way, which is Samsung's in-display fingerprint sensor that I find harder to use accurately than the S10e's physical sensor.

Great screen; Fastest possible processor and LTE; Triple cameras with 2x and wide-angle; Headphone jack and microSD card slot

Expensive; In-display fingerprint sensor has no physical guide

I like Samsung phones and have got used to how they operate, but I was disappointed that no other review I read mentioned the disappearance of the indicator light. I'm still unsure about the curved edges because a case cannot have sides high enough to protect it properly and my first tempered glass...

The S10 feels like an evolution of the Galaxy formula that's equal parts messy and necessary. It's not quite the future, but it's not far off either.

Incredibly slick software; Expensive feel-factor

Camera isn't as good as Huawei; Battery life isn't longer

A lot of the features I described above are unique to Samsung Galaxy smartphones, giving me strong reasons to finally return to my "roots", embracing the brand of the very first Android smartphone I got 8 years ago.

great design; premium feel; powerful SoC; plenty of RAM and internal storage; microSD card support; dual-SIM functionality for DUOS model; good cameras; decent OLED panel; water resistant and dustproof; USB 3.1 with DP; HDMI and OTG support; good stereo speakers; great fingerprint sensor; wireless...

underwhelming battery life; no eSIM; insecure and disappointing facial recognition technology; SoC throttles under continuous load; PWM; no aptX HD support

The excellent Galaxy S10 shares the Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy S10E's best traits, albeit with less distinction.

Like all of Samsung's Galaxy S10 phones, the standard S10 is built from the best parts, has a wonderfully sharp screen and long battery life; Camera quality is great, and it comes with all the extras, like the ability to wirelessly charge another device

As with the Galaxy S10 Plus; the S10's in-screen fingerprint reader is hit or miss; and its camera lacks a standalone night mode that other rivals have

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is easily one of the best phones ever, despite some annoyances

The Samsung Galaxy S10 doesn't fold, it doesn't have 5G – not quite yet, anyway – and it looks a whole lot like the Galaxy S9 from last year, but none of that precludes it from being the smartphone to beat in 2019.

Incredible screen escapes the notch curse; Flexible cameras produce great results in most conditions; Snapdragon 855 and One UI performance is swift; Excellent battery life

Low-light photos aren't as good as Pixel 3's; Expensive; In-display fingerprint sensor a little slow sometimes
