Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus review: This premium smartphone has everything!

2.jpg

A month after launching it globally, South Korean electronics major Samsung on March 6 brought the Galaxy S10-series to India. The best of the series seems to be the premium Galaxy S10 Plus smartphone with a big screen featuring an in-display fingerprint sensor, a triple-camera module on the back, dual cameras on the front, a wireless charging capability, and internal storage capacity of up to 1TB.

While the Galaxy S10 Plus has a long list of features, it boasts several industry-first additions that give it an edge. These features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, dynamic AMOLED screen, HDR10+ video recording, and capsule-shaped punch-hole screen accommodating dual selfie cameras.

Before the review, let’s take a look at the phone’s key specifications:
Display: 6.4-inch curved dynamic AMOLED, Quad HD+
Rear Camera: 12MP Dual Pixel AF, F1.5/F2.4, OIS | Telephoto: 12MP PDAF, F2.4, OIS | Ultra Wide: 16MP FF, F2.2 | – 0.5X/2X optical zoom, up to 10X digital zoom
Front Camera: 10MP Dual Pixel AF, F1.9 | RGB Depth: 8MP FF, F2.2
Processor: Exynos 9820 Octa
RAM and ROM: 8GB/12GB RAM | 128GB/512GB/1TB storage | MicroSD slot (up to 512GB)
Battery: 4,100 mAh | 15W wired and wireless fast charging

Design
The Galaxy S10 Plus has a glass-metal-glass design with Gorilla Glass 6 on the front, Gorilla Glass 5 on the back and a steel frame sandwiched in between. The phone has a lightweight design and, despite looking similar to the Note 9, it has a compact form factor that is even thinner than yesteryear's flagship – the Galaxy S9+.

Though the phone is easy to hold and use, the power button on the left side of the frame is placed higher than usual, making it difficult to reach. The glass body and smooth steel frame make the phone slippery in hand, so a good cover is suggested to avoid any accidental falls.
