The Samsung Galaxy S10, the middle child of the company's flagship series, is a fantastic phone that might easily be lost in the shuffle. Where the Galaxy S10 Plus has been lauded for its large screen and capable battery, and the Galaxy S10e for its compact form and ease-of-use, the S10 is...

As we're wrapping up one of the biggest smartphone reviews to date, it's also the wrap-up for one of the most important devices in 2019. As early as last year I heard from some vendors that Samsung had big plans for the Galaxy S10, with the company aiming to make the device "something special" for...

Switching from the Galaxy Note 9 to the Galaxy S10+ I like what Samsung has done with this series. Even with the hate or love it hole punch display this gives a great deal of screen real estate and by doing so shrinking the overall size as well.

The phone comes with a battery of 4100 mAh which supports fast charging through the wire and even through Qi wireless charging. You can use a 15W wired or wireless charger to charge the phone and since this phone runs on an 8nm chipset, the battery is amazing and it can easily get you through the...

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.

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

To me the key ingredients for a good phone would be the screen, the battery life, and the camera capability being a huge bonus. The Samsung Galaxy S10+ has all that, plus the great processing power available.

Is the S10 the most powerful smartphone around? Does it have the very best screen? Can it last the longest between charges? We're used to Samsung setting the gold standard for Android, so it's hard to believe the answer to all those questions is "no". Keen photographers will get excellent results (especially in low light) from a Google Pixel 3, or the Huawei P30 Pro. Plus, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P30 Pro have even greater stamina. A OnePlus 6T is much better value. But the S10 is an incredibly well-rounded Android on every other front. Handset prices have been creeping ever higher over the past few years, and £800 SIM-free is mighty pricey, but it does undercut the Apple iPhone XS by £200 and feels mo. That amount does mean it exists in a strange sort of middle ground, with the S10+ boasting a bigger screen and longer-lasting battery for only a little more cash, and the S10e being much more affordable with only a few minor concessions. Still, if you've got to have the best Samsung and arguably the best Android, yet don't see the point in twin selfie cameras or ridiculous zooming capabilities, the S10 is pretty much all the phone you'd ever need.

Truly versatile three-lens camera; Gorgeous display and top-notch performance; Feature-packed in ways few rivals can match;

In-display finger scanner not perfect; Not the best battery life; Price hike makes the S10e a tempting alternative;

Discounting the Note 7, Samsung’s misfires usually sit closer to the sub-optimal than the objectively terrible. If we’re being honest with ourselves, it’s been a fair few years since Samsung made a genuinely bad flagship smartphone.

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;
