The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the anniversary model of the Galaxy lineup presented by Samsung Electronics in 2019. Is this smartphone worth the attention of consumers and is there a need for it?
Design
The appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S10 differs little from the previous model of the Galaxy line. Minor changes were made only on the front of the smartphone, namely, the frames at the top and bottom were reduced, and the front camera was also moved to the upper right corner. Otherwise, the only difference can be found in size.
The smartphone sits very comfortably in the hand thanks to its dimensions - 149.9 x 70.4 x 7.8 mm. The relatively light weight of 157 grams allows you to operate the device on the go with one hand. There is no discomfort. The phone is produced in several color variations. In addition to black and white, the manufacturer also paid attention to bright colors.
With the AlwaysOn Display program enabled, available only on Samsung devices, the user can customize the watch face that appears on the screen when the display is off. It is very comfortable and looks quite stylish from the outside. Apple tried to copy such a trick, but it was also not successfully implemented.
A fingerprint sensor has been built into the screen. The developer planned to make it cover a third of the screen, but the idea was not applied due to the large number of false positives. The sensor works less sensitively and activates the smartphone more slowly, although the difference in comparison with other flagships is hardly noticeable.
Camera
A triple camera module is built into the back of the smartphone. Each of the lenses has a different role to play. The first camera has 16 MP and acts as an ultra wide-angle lens. The second is 12 MP and has a wide-angle lens. The third is a 12MP telephoto lens.
With this module, you can take photos with a coverage of 127 degrees. At the same time, focus, quality and palette have progressed significantly. If we take the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for comparison, then you can notice a big difference primarily in colors.
Night mode, of course, is present. And if you look closely, the quality of shooting at night really changed for the better. But there are few significant changes.
The front-facing Dual Pixel camera has 10 MP and, like the main cameras, can shoot videos in 4K quality at 30 frames per second. We can conclude that the cameras on this smartphone are really very good and have a lot of positive aspects.
Specifications
The smartphone is powered by an eight-core Exynos 9820 processor with 8GB of RAM. There is a slot for an additional SIM card that can be used for memory cards up to 512 GB. The battery is quite capacious - 3.400 mAh. It will be enough for the whole day with active use.
