Having owned all Galaxy phone models aside from the 7 and 9 I was eagerly anticipating the 10 year flagship model from Samsung. I opted for the 512GB***IS THIS THE BEST - NO!***Yes, I read the upcoming P30Pro will blow this out of the water and the Mate is pretty much similar for less and the Apple XS being the clear winner still, but I wanted my S10+ and must say I am very pleased.NOTE – There is no doubting the BEST phone in terms of tech and features is the IPHONE XS PLUS. 2ND in Line is the Mate from our Chinese manufacturers and this lies currently 3rd (based on several review sites) and I agree with the reasoning. THE ONLY reason the Mate scores higher is the price and the fact people expected more from the S10PLUS as it was a 10 year anniversary model,however it still packs a punch for those who don’t mind spending a little more for looks etc.***SCREEN PROTECTOR PRE-APPLIED***Finally Samsung Follow ONEPLUS and other phones by having the phone shipped with the protector perfectly applied. MAGIC!***PRE-ORDER USING LINKS PROVIDED TO GET FREE EARBUDS***Check on the seller sites to ensure the seller is covered in the free earbuds scheme. Reading the mall print shows now all amazon resellers are eligible!***LOOKS***The phone is stunning. The phone is similar in size to my S8+ (see pics) but the look and feel is brilliant with a glass back and metal sides, this looks like something you have paid a bit of cash for.The display is perfect in every way (aside from the front camera which you cannot avoid), it’s also nice to see the speaker and other sensors are no longer taking up screen space.***CAMERA***Both the Galaxy S10 and S10+ have THREE cameras on the back. One main camera, one telephoto zoom lens with 3x optical zoom, and one super wide-angle camera for landscape photos or family portraits.To switch to the new camera, look for and tap on the icon with three trees, just above the shutter button and shooting modes.If you have the Galaxy S10 Plus, you can switch to the second front-facing camera, which serves as an ultra-wide camera by tapping on the icon with two trees.SCENE OPTIMISER - the S10 can take brighter photos in dark environments, double as a document scanner or add starburst flares to lights in the background. I have compared with the Huwawei Mate X and agree with the reviews, the Huwawei is better for pictures when it comes to zoom and low light, however the S10 Plus is still ACESUPER STEADY - The phone has a mode called Super Steady which apparently allows you to film while running around or doing whatever you feel like doing.3D Emoji - You simply snap a selfie, and in a few seconds the S10+ spits out an Animoji-like character. You can then tweak it a bit and create a clip of you speaking through this digital avatarSPIN BLUR SELFIE, SUPER SLO-MO VIDEO are other cool features I have read about but not yet tried.***APPS ICONS***As standard it fits in just 4x5 app icons. It makes the things huge, and instantly gives the look of a child’s phone in my opinion. The S10 now has an upgrade to 5x6 and the Samsung Galaxy S10+ suddenly looks more like a phone for grown-ups.***FINGERPRINT TECH***The Galaxy S10+’s bounces sound waves outside the range of human hearing off your finger, and analyses those returned waves, which are altered by the ridges of your print. I also have face recognition which is so fast I don’t even get the option to use the fingerprint option, but for some banking apps it worked effortlessly without any niggles***AMOLED***Furthermore, the Galaxy S10 is Samsung's first phone with a "Dynamic" AMOLED display. Not only does make it look good, but it has one more MAJOR change most people don't know about. The Dynamic LED screen reduces harmful blue light without changing the on-screen colour.The Dynamic AMOLED technology keeps the screen colors the same while giving you all the benefits of Night Mode.***WIRELESS CHARGE***The Galaxy S10+ also has reverse wireless charging. You can therefore charge your earbuds (once received) and gear watch (arriving shortly) by placing them on top of your phone. COOLAs this uses QI Tech, I assume this will apply for any phone with this wireless charge tech,***LED DISPLAY CASE***Seriously, GET IT. It’s a great gadget and although the tech is not mind blowing it’s nice and a great little gimmick I’ve not seen anywhere else yet.You can answer calls, see the caller on the case (pics) and also see battery charge indications and missed calls/messages.You can also assign icons to callers so you get different notifications. I love the case as much as the phone

Simply put, this phone is THE standard to beat.The physical finish is perfect. My handset was literally flawless. The micro gap around the screen and the thin metal chassis was consistent all the way round. I mention this because it highlights the impeccable build quality and design ethos.The S10+ is a big phone with a big screen, but mainly thanks to Samsung's new and vastly improved OneUI, it's an incredibly manageable space to navigate.The cameras are getting seriously close to the Pixel, and that's seriously high praise. They also introduced a night mode which works pretty well, certainly an improvement on the regular camera modes.The camera hole punch screen is controversial,but Samsung has at least done well to minimise it's impact when moving through OneUI, and it's a shame that more developers aren't implementing notch/hole punch options. Personally though, I got used to it after a short while. I think that due to the size of the screen, if your looking away from it even slightly and because it is set away from the edge leaving a few pixels of data around its entire edge (yes, technically using up more screen space than a notch, but...) the brain starts to fill in the missing data like it dose with normal vision.The phone is amazing. But... there's still some things that are astonishingly absent or just not thought through fully from an end users perspective. And it's approaching unacceptable on a £1000 phone. A glaringly obvious example is the on-screen finger print reader. It's as quick as the S9's rear scanner, it's in the screen for crying out load so it gets many many cool points there, and it's very consistent WHEN, and this is the big part, When you actually get the spot right... Like, why oh why do they not take advantage of the always on display and just have the placement icon permanently there!?! And why have they still not added the option to lock the edge bar in place so accidental touch's whilst holding this beautiful behemoth don't interrupt what your doing and seriously annoy you! And of course, we still have the ever present Bixby button which Samsung just don't seam to be able to accept that people just dont want. I mean yeah, thanks for tweaking it so it now takes 2 accidental clicks to activate, but please Samsung, just get rid of it or allow it to be completely modifiable to the point of complete deactivation.These are just a few examples of an unfortunate number that just keep this thing from being perfect. However, most if not all of the issues could be fixed via software updates anyway, and Samsung are showing tentatively strong signs of actually listening thier customers and turning stuff around pretty quickly. So I have faith we'll see an improvement in those areas that can be fixed OTA.I love this phone. In my opinion it's the best phone on the market right now. Period. Apple users could jump aboard and quickly settle into the OS and build quality. If your coming from and S9+ you'll be looking at some solid satisfying incremental upgrades which make it feel like it is a new device your holding. If your coming from most other devices it's a bit like picking up an actual bit of the future.It's an unquestionably flagship leading phone. It's doing things other phones seam a long way from accomplishing. Yeah, a lot of other phones do very similar things and have very similar features, but I can't think of a single competitor that has pretty much them all wrapped up in on very pretty and enjoyable to use package.If you've got a slightly unfortunate amount of money to spare then just get it, you will not regret it. Samsung have delivered something awesome, and should still be turning heads over the next few years.

In short - Excellent Camera, hardware, design, all packaged together in a future-proof device.Main review/thoughts -Upgraded from S7 which I'd used for 2yrs and really enjoyed it but contract was due and I'd really liked the look & sound of it since launch. Had my S10+ for around 6month's now and it has been a great experience with zero regrets.Since purchasing I've upgraded to Android 10 and never installed a different loader or ROM as I find the initial experience hassle free.Here's a break down of a few thoughts etc...GOOD+OneUI is well thought out by Samsung. As with other Android OS' it allows you lots of customisation and offers you some features that can be turned off should you not wish to use them (Bixby button!)+Video display on the screen is great,and despite what some may like to moan about - the notch doesn't distract from viewing. Afterall how often do you focus on the action on the very edge of the screen anyway??+Loud Speaker for Media playback. As with my S7, I don't use a Bluetooth speaker purely because whilst I'm no Audiophile I find that External speaker on the device to offer nice loud & crisp Audio when using it to listen to YouTube Music, Amazon Music and downloaded MP3's.The Second loud speaker at the top of the device (the ear piece) is a nice touch and does add a bit more oomph, however as with Samsung's tablets it would be great to have speakers on the top.+Connectivity. Headphone jack, Bluetooth, Mobile Hotspot etc... Especially since upgrading to Android 10 I find Bluetooth connectivity to be much quicker at connecting to my SkullCandy Wireless headphones. Getting to use hardwired headphones via the Aux port is a nice bonus in this day & age too+Taking photos is great, and I like how I can program the 'Bixby' button to launch this rather than launching via the App.+Hardware. From the processor, to the RAM and other on-board hardware (Bluetooth, graphics etc) I found it all to work together really well and I've never found I'm waiting around.+Phone calls. Now I know that doesn't seem to get talked about with phones in many phones reviews etc, but I've found that the phone doesn't get warm and calls are clear & crisp.+Charge times and USB-C. Despite it's hardware and battery, I find I get 100% charge from 4% in around 90mins. NOTE - I have never used the Wireless Power sharing feature, nor have I tried Wireless charging via a dock.+Finger-Print and Security. I have never once used the Retina scan feature, however I had upgraded to the S10+ from the S7 and find the Finger-Print scanner to be a vast improvement. The fact it's now in-screen too is amazing (where you need to hold your finger is highlighted with an onscreen symbol),I'll admit sometimes it doesn't always recognise however when this happens your given the option of using an alternative method much quicker & easier than before. Plus, every 20 unlocks or so it forces you to use your password to unlock.BAD- Power button placement. Whilst I've got biggish hands, even I have to admit to this one design flaw. Whilst I often double tap the screen to wake, sometimes you want to press the Power button but it's a little bit of a stretch.-Loud speaker placement. Whilst it offers great sound, you do find when it's in your hand you can muffle it due there only been the one on bottom Right side.

I got the Samsung Galaxy S10+ a little over a month ago, the latest in a long line of Samsung Galaxy Phones and Tablets I've had on 24 month network contracts.What can I say about the Galaxy S10+, well I think it's the best phone I have ever had! The build quality is sublime. Feels amazing in hand, really light. Yes it's large, but for me that is a really good thing. I went for Prism White, it looks great when the Sun catches it.The SuperAmoled HDR 10 screen is outstanding, edge to edge viewing I think they call it "infinity display" it's the best display I've ever experienced on a phone and possibly on a Tablet too!Sound is exceptional, supporting Dolby Atmos I can really get lost in what I'm watching and listening to.Near total immersion save for the person sitting next to me on the commute who often interrupts me to say, "That phone looks great..."The Supersonic Fingerprint sensor is aptly named, love that it's incorporated into the display meaning there is barely any bezel.It took a few minutes to get used to the Front facing camera being actually in the display and the picture or video playing around it. I thought it might be distracting but I was well and truly wrong!I'm no Camera/Photography expert, I am awful at taking photographs and videos, but somehow Samsung have made a Camera or three, that not only takes vibrant lifelike photos, includes a steady cam function that eliminates all of my awfully shaky attempts and producing a result that I still can't believe I made.Storage, I went for the 128GB expandable by Micro SD card if needed. That's the best I've had on any Android device out of the box.Day to day use: I like how after the first day or two of use the "Intelligent battery" has learned my usage pattern and seems to provide power when I need it the most. It is as if the S10+ is one step ahead of me.Speed: Exceptional, even running lots of apps at once I have not experienced any lag scrolling or switching between active apps at all.Battery life: When I use the S10+ as a phone and not for entertainment like streaming a full charge has lasted me way over 72 hours!! (Without any energy saving modes switched on.)When I'm streaming HD video or music the S10 Plus has easily lasted 36 hours or more! Charging: The change from Micro USB to USB type C is great. The cable plugs in any way you put it in and I think charging is even quicker too? That leads me to the last point...Fast Charging: 0 - 100% in just over an hour. Add to that the wireless charging function and the ability to share power between devices. Dead batteries are a thing of the past!There is one negative and it is minor... With a phone like this, a case is essential. Unfortunately cases add bulk to this lovely thin sleek phone and covers the prism effect design on the rear. I'm sure there are nice cases available that don't detract from this excellent phone but how much they protect it from pockets, bulbs and scratches I don't know.I set out to write a few words about the great Samsung Galaxy S10 plus, but there's so much to cover. I hope it helps and ultimately does it justice!?!

I've had my 10+ since release and have been more than happy with it. I had the 9+ before but decided to upgrade after seeing what it had to offer. The battery is the first thing i noticed to be a massive improvement as i now i charge every other day instead of each night. i gave the 9+ to my daughter and she loves it as she came from the 8. I generally get between 26-35 hrs and 6-8+ hrs screen time depending on how hard i game on CSR2 ,Mad Skills BMX , Afterpulse , CC , Dead Effect , Asphalt 9 and Hitman Sniper and lots of YouTube.This will improve as i was watching reviews etc for this phone that are pretty much done and dusted now so i can expect more screen time if i don't waste it playing games instead.

I brought this device 1 week ago, and i can already say this was definatly worth the upgrade from the galaxy s8 phone. Better cameras, better performance, better everything. This is the ultimate performance device.I got the black phone and i can say that the finish is really well done.It was really easy to transfer all of my data using smart switch and the included usbc to usba adapter from the samsung s8 to my new samsung s10+.The cameras are amazing, i take photos a lot as i update Google maps and street view using my phone so it's important to have high-quality cameras. The new zoom lense on the back of the phone allows me to zoom in and the image quality isn't affected.

Love the new phone speed and screen are massive upgrades getting used to the pill cut out .... prefer it to other designs just waiting on the uninterrupted display... now I know nothing in life is perfect as with rival phones and this phone alike there are going to be teething problems... I have two hardware issues on the s10+ and most people have probably worked those out and that's the power button is slightly too high you have to adjust grip to use it or over stretch and I do have larger hands not the biggest issue. I'm being picky and also the stereo speakers the bottom placement should be on the front so that when I hold it to watch a movie or whatever I don't cover it with finger or thumb position...

2.9.2019

I've had a iPhone 6 then 6S for a while now, but decided to go back to Android after seeing the S10+ (and being convinced of how easy it was to switch over these days). To a fair degree, the Smart Switch worked very well, and I was up and running with the apps, layout and settings I had (in the majority) on the 6S.However, I liked being able to use the 6S in my Apple CarPlay compatible VW Golf... CarPlay is just so much slicker. Eventually, after much internet browsing, I found an Android app that was compatible with 'Android Auto' AND played former-iTunes files stored on the SD card - Most other apps are streaming-focused, including Google Play Music!I now can play random-order artists and tracks in the car,

Just want to say that I purchased my phone from Tower Tech Shop who I didn't realise were based in USA. Regardless, I selected the free standard delivery and it shipped from New York in just two days! It was a day earlier than their predicted date range and delivered packaged very well by DHL with absolutely no damage or problems. It was a US version but came packed with a brand new UK official Samsung fast charger so no problems there (unlike some earlier reviews). Overall based on my experience I would definitely recommend this company. I was a bit skeptical as I've had issues when not buying direct from Amazon in the past but I was saving £110 on what is normally a £900 phone and I definitely don't regret it.

What a beautiful phone. Great design, top quality and rich in features. I have been using Samsung since S4, then S6, and S8, upgraded from S8 and not disappointed. Initially purchased S10, but then changed it to S10+. Its light weight, fits in your hand properly, width is great, not too wide like new Apple phone, its long design makes it different than others. Dual sim is a great feature and I can use the UK sim and local sim when I visit my own country. even in the UK I am using 2 sims in one phone. also, two whatsapp accounts on one phone, GREAT isnt it. Phone response is great, its new so will have to see how it response after few months of usage. Finger print scanner is hard to press while registering,

Having been an iphone user for so long I was tired of paying high prices for phones which were seemingly behind other phones just because of its user ability. After accidentally breaking it and being faced with a large bill to fix my options were to buy yet another iphone or change. I decided to change to the Samsung S10 plus. I was intimidated on the first day, decided not to transfer my stuff and instead just start from fresh. Added in an sd card to save images and videos too. Only thing I'm concerned about is the 8 GB memory ram. I love the fact you can look after your device using Device care and I am inlove with the edge screen lights for notifications. The one thing that I really like are the themes,

I bought this phone in contract a few weeks ago and I cannot tell you enough how good it is. From the display to the battery to the design, it is all tailored perfectly for the users needs. I myself am very sensitive to artificial light such as screens, lights and torches.With Samsung's blue light display my eyes are soothed and taken care of, as.i am able to change not only from normal to blue light, but also the blue lights intensity.The battery life is outstanding. I switched from an iPhone 6 and the battery life is brilliant. I use my phone at least 4 hours a day in total if not more and I have never run out of power. I cannot stress enough how good Samsung's 4100MPA battery isThe 8GB RAM PC grade tech and I can watch videos,

10.4.2019

I first upgraded from the S7 to the S9, and now I've upgraded to the S10+ but I'm a bit disappointed that we've lost features that worked perfectly for the S9. There are rumours we'll get the notification light back as a camera surrounding light up on the front of the phone but until then it's irritating not having an LED. I'm also gutted that we have a built in fingerprint sensor on the screen.. it's extremely tempermental and only recognises my fingerprint 60% of the time even though for good measure I've reregistered my thumb print so if I press with a slightly different angle then the changes of recognition should be improved.

10.3.2019

I received this a couple of days ago and have not really put it down since. I am upgrading from the Note 9 512gb 8GB ram to this, and must confess,I'm quite impressed by the all round performance except for the unimpressive responsiveness of the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and the dent the price of the gadget has left in my pocket, though this was cushioned by Samsung's own upgrade programme, which allows you to pay in instalments, if you are accepted.I compare the weight of this phone to my Note 9 and I'm smiling as I can actually feel the difference in weight. My S10+ 1TB Ceramic Black is and feels lighter with the official Samsung LED view cover on. So far,
