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

It is a nice phone. Fast. In the time of setting it and get the software updat I felt the battery run out quickly and until the time I am writing this review I still don't know why the smart switch does not work with my iPhone 6 as my old mobile phone

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

Despite what its unimaginative name suggests, the Galaxy S10 5G is not just a Galaxy S10 with support for faster 5G networks slapped on. It's actually an entirely-new flagship with a number of never-before-seen features.

Lavish AMOLED display; Stunning bokeh effect in Live Focus pictures and videos; Water resistant design; Future-proofed with 5G Support; 3.5mm headphone port means a dongle-free life

It's massively unwieldy; Camera cut-out in the display is ugly

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.

Many smartphone makers save their best features for their priciest (and largest) devices. Not Samsung. The Galaxy S10 lineup includes three great phones with solid battery life and excellent performance, which means you don't have to spend $1,000 to get the best smartphone .

Gorgeous Infinity-O display; Solid battery life with Wireless PowerShare; Blazing-fast performance; Triple-lens camera system captures every angle

Facial recognition needs work; Front-facing camera not quite as good as on S10

Samsung lost major points on this one. First of all, I never liked the "Edge" phones because they are terrible for multi tasking. The screen wraps to the sides so you're bound to press on something if you're not too careful. Well the 10 doesn't have the non-edge option.

Fast phone easy to use

Bought this phone and mobile data didn't work with Sprint. Sprint said there is a known issue and sent me a used phone for my brand new phone. That one did not work either. I ended up dropping Sprint and Samsung for a Google Pixel 3XL on Verizon. Now I have a phone and service that works.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the flagship Samsung smartphone for 2019, together with the cheaper S10e and the more expensive S10 Plus (at least until the Note 10 arrives). Does it represent a new high watermark for phone hardware and software We've been putting it through its paces to find out.
