Summary
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ has a great camera and good performance, but its battery stamina is a notable weak point.
- Slim design.
- Great camera.
- Still has a headphone jack.
- One UI is very slick.
- Exynos 9820 provides plenty of power.
- Supports expandable storage.
- Battery life doesn't compare well to other flagships.
- Slippery in the hand and pocket.
- 1TB version is very expensive.
- Bixby button is still a nuisance.

Samsung is pretty easily the most popular Android brand in the flagship space in Australia, and the anticipation around its annual Galaxy S series updates is at a fever pitch right now. Samsung of course hypes up its new flagships – it has phones to sell – and for the most part, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ delivers the kinds of premium features that you'd want out of a flagship phone.
However, Samsung is somewhat playing it safe rather than really pushing the envelope with the Galaxy S10+. It's a great phone, but it's one that's not quite as much at the forefront as some competitor devices, especially when it comes to overall battery endurance.
Design
- Range of colour choices.
- "Infinity O" punch hole camera.
- Dynamic AMOLED display.
- In-glass fingerprint sensor.
- Still has a headphone jack.

Camera
- Triple lenses give you plenty of photographic choice.
- Good low light performance.
- Animoji remain a silly gimmick.

Performance

- One UI provides a smooth overlay.
- Gets warm under heavy workloads.
- Fingerprint sensor works, but it's not fast.
