Galaxy S10: Full Specifications

Along with the iPhone 11, the Samsung Galaxy S10 was one of the most searched devices on Planhub in 2019. The first device to feature the hole-punch camera design with the Infinity O display, powered by the powerful Snapdragon 855, featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (extendable to 512GB), the Galaxy S10 is a much better value proposition than the new but expensive Galaxy S20.

Pros

  • One of the best displays on the market: Even after one year, the bezel-less AMOLED Infinity O display of the Galaxy S10 holds its own against competitors and continues to count amongst the best smartphone displays on the market.
  • More value for your money: Now that the Galaxy S10 is no longer the current generation flagship, it is discounted on not only Samsung’s website, but also with many carriers. That makes it one of the best value propositions in terms of smartphone purchases. You get all of the quality, features and reliability of a Samsung flagship phone at a more affordable price.
  • Good cameras: While Google and iPhone traditionally fight for the top spot in the smartphone camera ratings, Samsung is no slouch in the camera department. The Galaxy S10, with its triple camera array, will easily take beautiful photos that you can be proud to share.
  • Headphone jack included: Hurray! The Galaxy S10 is the last remaining premium smartphone to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Premium features: The Galaxy S10 has wireless charging, IP rating for water resistance, wireless power sharing with other wireless charging devices and more.

Cons

  • Only one year of software updates left: Because of Samsung’s policy of guaranteeing software updates only for two years, buying 2019’s flagship in 2020 means that you only have one more year of software updates to look forward to. Keep in mind however that even 2018s Samsung Galaxy S9 still runs smoothly and still receives security updates. So unless you really care about the newest iteration of Android, software updates should not stop you from enjoying your Galaxy S10 for a good two or three years still.
  • Biometric security needs improvement: To achieve the gorgeous Infinity O display, Samsung had to make two compromises on the Galaxy S10. First, to use an under-the-screen fingerprint reader. Second, to use a more basic face unlock feature that is not as secure as Apple’s Face ID. The biggest issue is with the FaceID. The fingerprint reader itself is fine, even if it's under the screen, but sometimes takes two or three tries to recognize the fingerprint.
