Summary
The Galaxy S10 has a great camera and good application performance, but its overall battery life has dipped since the previous Galaxy S generation.
- Easy to hold
- Camera is great
- Headphone jack
- One UI customises Android well
- Exynos 9820 is powerful
- Supports expandable storage.
- Battery life is somehow worse than the last generation
- Slippery glass back
- Who really wants the Bixby button?

Australians love Samsung's flagship phones with a fervour that we only really see for one other brand – and rather obviously, that's not a maker of Android handsets. The Galaxy S10 is the South Korean manufacturer's latest handset, and while it's the slightly smaller, slightly lower cost counterpart to the Galaxy S10+, it shares much the same design and feature ideas, as well as many of the same drawbacks.
The end result is still a very good handset, and one that's an easy recommendation if you're a fan of Samsung's phones, but it's not hard to see this, like the Galaxy S10+, as a case of Samsung mostly resting on what it knows how to do, rather than pushing the boundaries of what a flagship phone could do.
Design
- Range of colour choices
- "Infinity O" punch hole camera
- Dynamic AMOLED display
- In-glass fingerprint sensor
- Still has a headphone jack
- Bixby button stands out, but not in a good way

Camera
- Triple-array 16MP/12MP/12MP camera
- Good overall performance
- AR emoji are still a silly inclusion
Performance
- Exynos 9820 in the Australian S10 is powerful
- One UI is way less annoying than TouchWiz was
- Fingerprint sensor works, but it's not fast
- Expandable storage gives it a premium edge
Battery life
- 3,400mah battery gives disappointing performance
- Wireless charging and fast charging supported
- Powershare reverse charging is too slow
Verdict
- A nicely built phone, but Samsung needs to put more work into a "premium" phone
Pricing and availability
- Price: RRP starting at $1,149
