Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
The Galaxy S10+ isn`t a revolutionary device, and put simply, takes the best features from its predecessors, adds the latest trends, mixes them well, and delivers a solid, compelling phone that ticks most boxes right. It may not be the best shooter out there (Google, what sorcery have you done with the solitary snapper on the Pixel 3?), or boast features that can make for 72-point headlines, but it does make a strong case for itself. I think the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (review) comes the closest to the Galaxy S10+ as far as competition is concerned, and Huawei`s implementation of the triple cameras...

The Galaxy S10+ isn`t a revolutionary device, and put simply, takes the best features from its predecessors, adds the latest trends, mixes them well, and delivers a solid, compelling phone that ticks most boxes right. It may not be the best shooter out there (Google, what sorcery have you done with the solitary snapper on the Pixel 3?), or boast features that can make for 72-point headlines, but it does make a strong case for itself. I think the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (review) comes the closest to the Galaxy S10+ as far as competition is concerned, and Huawei`s implementation of the triple cameras even looks more capable, and with its 3X zoom, more useful. However, the Mate 20 Pro does lose a few points because of its selfie camera that leaves something to be desired, lack of a headphone jack and its EMUI platform. I could be nitpicking here, but the fact remains that the Mate 20 Pro is still a great choice and the only one among the current lot of premium flagships that can challenge the Galaxy S10+.You should also keep in mind that MWC is currently on in full swing, and we`re expecting tons of new-age smartphones to come our way soon. The penta-cam Nokia 9 PureView (first impressions) promises to up the photography game, and if the stars and planets align a certain way, we might even see the Xiaomi Mi 9 (first impressions) making its way to India. In short, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is already facing threat from a battalion of powerful soldiers, and has its task cut out. To answer the question I posed at the very beginning, I still can`t think of a single feature that defines the Galaxy S10+. It`s just a solid, well balanced combination of good design, capable cameras, smooth performance and good battery life, all inside a package that doesn`t come cheap, but for anyone who spends their dough on it, should serve as a faithful daily driver that does most things right.
Pros
- Superb display
- Smooth performance and good battery life
- Excellent cameras
- Reverse wireless charging and headphone jack
Cons
- Just an evolutionary upgrade
- Fiddly gesture controls
- Pricey

Design and display
+
Design wise, the Galaxy S10+ seems a more refined version of the brand's previous flagships, the Galaxy Note9 and the Galaxy S9+. Layered with glass on both sides, the mainstay of the S10+ design is the all-screen fascia, which uses what Samsung calls an Infinity-O display…. with the ‘O' in that moniker referring to the punch-hole notch.

Cameras

Next up, the all important cameras. Two 12MP, optically stabilised sensors (with one of them being telephoto for up to 2X zoom) mated to a 16MP ultra wide sensor make up the triple cam array on the back, while selfies are taken care of by a 10-meg snapper paired with an 8MP depth sensor. An extensive Pro mode with the option to save stills in RAW, super slow mo video, hyperlapse, Live Focus (Samsung's version of Portrait mode) and food are some of the modes available to shoot in. The Live Focus mode allows you to control the intensity of background blur and even apply some interesting filters, both while shooting as well as post capture.

Software

One UI is the name of Samsung's interface that comes layered over Android Pie on the Galaxy S10+, and is an evolved, minimalistic, cleaner version of what used to be Touchwiz once. I can't say I'm a fan of the slightly cartoony icons, but that apart, Samsung's software implementation is quite clean and devoid of feature spam.

Performance and battery
+
The octa-core, 8nm Exynos 9820 under the hood of the Samsung Galaxy S10+ (folks in the US get Snapdragon 855 instead), mated to 8 gigs of RAM in my review unit, makes mince meat of anything and everything thrown at it, and turns in smooth performance regardless of the app or game at hand. Furthermore, thanks to Vapor cooling, thermals are kept in check, and the phone just gets a tad warm when stressed (read: while playing intensive games). Worth noting that the Galaxy S10+ also comes in a 12GB RAM version. That much RAM is overkill in my opinion, but said variant also offers a whopping 1 terabyte of native storage, which is a world first and despite its crazy high price tag, quite cool to have in your pocket, if only for bragging rights.
