Description

Samsung’s flagship for 2019, the Galaxy S10, matches its powerful hardware with the fresh OneUI interface. This thin and light phone is powered by the powerful Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820 chips and has heaps of memory for your multitasking needs - a whopping 8GB, accompanied by 128 or 512GB versions. Design-wise, the Galaxy S10 sets itself apart from the previous generation with its offset punch-hole 10MP selfie camera, which is capable of capturing stabilized 4K footage. The camera is the only thing interrupting the gorgeous 6.1-inch OLED display. The cameras at the back are three - the regular 12MP is joined by a 12MP telephoto and a 16MP wide-angle one, a first for the Galaxy S series. The S10 is available in Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Green, and Prism Blue, with prices starting at $899.

This device is also known as Samsung SM-G973F, Samsung SM-G973U

The best phone of 2019 this far
Phone owned for less than 3 months

The phone is a beast. Battery life have been improved. Less bezels and very responsive to operation. The UI is intuitive and of good aesthetic quality. Ram, Memory are Although would prefer under display camera but the punch hole is reasonably better than the notch.
Retaining the earphone Jack is a plus. I can't stand low battery interruption of the Bluetooth earpiece.
