it's shocking to see just how far smartphones have evolved in ten years of galaxy what was once regarded as a copy of others has spent the last five generations sending its own bar from one of the first with water resistance to one of the first with a fingerprint scanner to the dominant innovator of smartphone displays and cameras to the first with a curved screen to the trendsetter in the return of glass on glass and the death of the bezel there is no denying that it's a great legacy but the question is legacy a far should this be the phone you buy today I'm high mentally better with pocket now and this is our Galaxy S 10 plus review brought to you by D brand love it or hate it it's hard to ignore the reason why Samsung is at the top of the Android food chain the company has never really used the non compromised slogan but for me this is the best way to describe the Galaxy S 10 plus so let's begin this video by telling you what I like about this phone the first this phone has everything at a time when phones are blue zhing ports and bring excessive notches Samsung didn't follow the trends we have a headphone jack that's well tuned by AKG with a good pair of AKG headphones in the box the Infinity o is not a perfect solution for the knotch but it's far smaller than most notches and at least you can dress it in style with some of the recent wallpapers you can find on Reddit I honestly can't believe this has become a thing second it's one of the most powerful phones right now we have the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 with enough RAM expandable storage a large battery and faster LTE and Wi-Fi than most in addition to XI wireless charging and then there are cool tricks like reverse wireless charging and all regardless of the Varian that you pick third this phone is the best and things that truly matter the six point four inch dynamic AMOLED display the quad HD plus resolution has been rated as best-in-class and we agree it's also one of the brightest that I've seen on a smartphone at 1200 nits and then match it with some of the loudest dual firing speakers that I've tested on a phone and yeah it's a whole content consumption package here forth this phone is gorgeous and feels great this prism white finish has quickly grown on me when viewed from different angles and then Samsung has also shaved some of the footprint and weight from its predecessor so even if large the feel is rather surreal v let's talk about the cameras I have a full separate video on how this camera performed in montserrat so I'm not gonna bore you with specifics what I will tell you is that even if Samsung is not the first at bringing a wide-angle camera it's the first of doing more with it than just giving you wide-angle shots it enables genius features like super steady video thanks to the wide sensor and which I highly recommend you you if you've got the right lighting for the occasion it enables better portrait photos where you won't have to step back from the subject to get a good shot and where you can switch the bouquet after the fact and not get a completely different photo like before best of all you can play with the effects and make colors pop if you fancy a more dramatic effect and yes you do have a wider field of view for more epic photos match also with the versatility of the primary shooter that has two aperture options and the telephoto that helps you get a really good proper street photography that variable aperture proves to be essential in low-light with the night mode included in scene detection I still feel that Samsung needs to work on moving subjects and low lights but I can't deny that this phone is really good at pulling detail in low-light the selfie camera also found some major improvements now providing more detail and capabilities for 4k video recording and also a wider crop I call this camera versatile in my previous video and after a final software updates now with the inclusion of Instagram mode I stand by that assessment more now than before obviously this is a review not a love letter so let me tell you where I'm mixed and where I don't like this phone it begins with one UI and a positive front you'd say that om shouldn't try to reinvent Android but there are certain things where one UI is just more logical see large phones are hard to handle and Samsung has moved a ton of the buttons and interaction to the bottom of the display the problem is really not Samsung's fault but obviously the rest of Android which thinks that buttons should be at the top so the result is hit or miss and then what is Samsung's fault is a power button so high up that the effort and the software just seems like an irony I like that the edge menus are still here for shortcuts and I also love the gestures are now embraced sadly there is sort of a cumbersome interaction between Samsung pay and these gestures and the Google assistant so my advice to you is to disable my favorite card settings within Samsung pay and then there's the total lack of palm rejection which also makes handling such a large and slippery phone a problem I highly recommend the deeper skin to address that and add some grip now features I never thought that I'd miss are the iris scanner or the standard fingerprint scanner sadly facial recognition is not at all secure and while I do find the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner to be cool it's not always reliable Samsung claims a software update will fix this but we don't know exactly when and then let's talk about battery life I mean some of my colleagues are claiming stellar results but mine is just okay you'll end the day okay but you won't get an extra day like you can with certain other competitors last but not least Oh Bixby I feel the service doesn't deserve all the hate that it gets and a lot of automation and quick commands is genius the problem is when it lags so behind the Google assistance and absolutely everything else and how even if you remap the key you can't fully disable it and folks before we conclude this video let me tell you more about our sponsor D brand if you want to avoid those fingerprint smudges and pimp out your new Galaxy S 10 D brands new black swarm skin is fantastic and of course that's just one of the many options they have available to cater to your tastes follow the link in the description below to choose the skins that match your style most to conclude even if this device is not perfect notice that all the things that I'm either mixed or don't like about it are all software based and sure I agree some of these things are probably knit fix and absolutely everything that matters the galaxy s 10 plus excels you've got the best display of 2019 some of the best specifications a versatile camera and a design that turns heads no matter where you go match this with the fact that Samsung has decided to not follow Apple in the price and the offer is even more compelling this is definitely a more mature Samsung one where eco systems are now being nurtured with products like the Samsung Galaxy buds and smart things in my opinion the Samsung Galaxy S 10 plus is a great phone
