"Should I upgrade to the Galaxy S10" That's the question friends and family have been asking me during my month of testing the Samsung Galaxy S10 on Verizon. The answer is a clear, maybe.

Beautiful Infinity-O display; Great Camera system with 3 Lenses; Good Battery Life and PowerShare Wireless Charging; Great Performance and Design

Facial Recognition Isn't as Good as iPhone

The Galaxy S10 is Samsung's middle child flagship phone, caught between the larger, more lavishly appointed Galaxy S10 Plus and the smaller, pluckier Galaxy S10E ( $750 at Amazon ) , which is also the best value of all three Galaxy S10 phones . The S10's price feels the squeeze, too.

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

This is the Snapdragon variant of the Samsung Galaxy S10 . So instead of the Exynos 9820 CPU in the S10 Exynos version, this unit comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 CPU clocked 2.8GHz, along with Adreno 640 GPU, 8 GB RAM and 128/512 GB internal storage.

After countless leaks and pictured in all its glory, Samsung, at a special event unveiled the 10 th anniversary Galaxy S device and there was no surprise with the naming scheme with it being titled - the Galaxy S10.

We already know how the Samsung Galaxy S10+ performed in our review. It's time to see how its younger brother, the Galaxy S10, did in our tests.

Pleasing look and feel; Good performance

Battery could have been larger; Badly positioned volume rocker

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

Having had an s5 for the past 4 years, upgrading to an s10 is a real treat. Easy to set up and transfer data etc from s5 (once I got a new nano SIM from telco), great size and look. Haven't tried the camera yet but I'm sure it'll be a huge improvement.

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

good idea for poopsam

But does it continue to impress over time, or does it disappoint After all, while there's no doubt that this is a good phone, it's also an expensive one, so is there really enough here to justify the price

Best screen around; Brilliant new design; Great triple-lens camera

Average battery life; High price; Shown up slightly by S10 Plus
