Samsung Galaxy S10+

I paid $1000 cash for my Samsung Galaxy S10+ and the 5½+ years with it have been flawless. I was very hesitant to spend $1000 on my first smartphone but if it can easily last 5 years, I'm impressed. Even now, I can't think of a reason to upgrade aside from wanting a new, shiny gadget.

I've used my 2019 samsung galaxy S10+ until it gave out its last breath earlier this year so I understand this perfectly. it literally stopped running certain apps and the battery got so deteriorated it would only last for a couple of hours

[...] All the updates & security patches. [...] Even at 60hz the display is still one of the best? [...] In my eyes if you are a 1st time S10 buyer, at these reduced prices it's still one of the best phones Samsung ever produced? [...]

It has one scratch because you didn't use it that much lol. [...] I had the s10+ and sold it after 6 months of use and the phone has so many scratches. [...]

[...] I've had my S10+ a year on 4 March (previous: S8edge, S6edge, S4, S2 and original Galaxy, Nokia's as far as my first mobile, a 5110 in 1998/1999 with a red face plate!) With all the updates as you mentioned, my S10+ is still a great phone with all the camera features I need and many I don't even use. [...] My phone looks brand new except for a crack in the rear camera screen but it's between two cameras so no biggy. [...]

[...] Been using for a year it's still a pleasure. [...]

I bought my S10+ back in early August and after a couple weeks my camera would often say "camera temporarily unavailable," and close. [...] Started watching you since I got the phone to better understand it, and really like your style and your personal reviews of all the gadgets you have. [...]

So as my phone (an elderly Samsung Galaxy S10+) started to do its planned obsolescence thing, & stop charging effectively, I ordered a newer model to replace it for when it finally died. I've had that backup phone for over a year, but the old one stubbornly continues to be... mostly fine?

[...] The only bummer is the charging speed which is capped at 15w? [...] Get me to 85 - 90% of battery from around 20% in less than 40 minutes. [...]

It's a Galaxy S10+ - pretty old now, does everything I need. Intentionally bought refurbished as a cheap phone that was nevertheless pretty fast and had a decent battery life. The Bixby key aside, everything else has been fine.

GameNative seems to now work perfectly well for my on the old Samsung Galaxy S10 + controller combo! Ozmafia is starting! I got the Steam Deck OLED to play indie otome games, but turns out that a lot of the time, the console feel too big to me.

I love the curved screen, of course it feels better when it has the case but I mean I never use it without the case cuz I'm clumsy. So I have absolutely no problems with my phone

Bought the S10+ last week instead of the S20+ This phone is a beast. No need to spend over 1000€ for the S20. Using mobile phones since 1995. Had more then 100 Nokia,Sony-Ericcson,and a few others brands before Android. Since Android i had 9 smartphones,and now the fantastic S10+🤙👊(680€)

[...] For me stock android with fast updates and no bloat was reason I got the phone. [...] But otherwise it does all I need, it has good battery life, solid build quality and runs smooth.

My S10+ is the fastest gmail,facebook,text message, complete waste of money I have ever spent on a device I really only need for crank calls... [...] I don't like the curved screen because sometimes It makes cutting and pasting random junk pics a bitch.. [...] google spying on our GPS location even when we go to airplane mode.. [...]

I own the S10+ and love it!! I got the phone because of your S10+ video. [...]

bought a renewed S10e for $350 last week. Was surprised to see how snappy and fluid it was on OneUI 2.0 even compared to my Iphone XS. My last samsung phone was the S4 during the glory (not) days of TouchWiz and BOY samsung has come up a LOONG way since then

great device with gret stablility....i have a little bugs during all this period since i got it but it doesnt matter...overall a great device and the introduce of android 10 helped it to be smoother than ever before...i dont really find reasons to go to the new one just only for the highest screen rate or the better cameras..

Gestures work perfectly well, and you can get many, many more gestures with Fluid NG. My gestures are lightning quick and never fail to work. And if you are ONLY getting six hours of sot, then either you have the Exynos variant, or you have a dud phone. I have optimized mine to be sure, but I get a constant average between 7.5 to 9 hours per day, depending on my usage that day. Since you didn't know about BXActions or Fluid NG, I'd guess you suck at optimizing your phone, and that is why you are only getting six hours sot.

[...] So it is NOT an unfortunate button and works very well. Also, the power button is NOT in a weird place. They moved it up because they had gotten tens of thousands of complaints about accidentally hitting the button while handling. [...] Also, you can map either the Bixby button or a gesture to turn off your screen or pull up the power menu. SO YOU NEVER NEED TO PRESS THE POWER BUTTON!!!! AND, the status bar complaint about the front camera pushing things slightly to the left is absolutely moronic. I never even notice the camera cutout and it never gets in my way. [...]

[...] I have no problems with the power button (big hands), the punch hole is way better than the notch, love the screen. [...] About the charging, it could be faster. [...]

[...] The S10+ didn't have issues with jank or glaring lag it just seems like OneUI takes a split second longer to respond to user touches.

CASE VS NO CASE @1:08 uses it without a case @3:17 uses it with a case ISSUES @2:47 you can set the screen to 1080p but still be able to view content in 1440p such as on YouTube without adjusting the screen @4:36 you might need the security software if yet another malware-filled app passes through the playstore without google noticing. [...] The fingerprint scanner somehow has gotten faster and my battery life isn't amazing but it has been consistent and ever so slightly worse than my LG V30 on Pie which I recently sold. [...]

in the uk people shouldnt have bought it at launch let alone one year later lol mainly because of the high price , big depreciation , average camera , slow charging speeds and exynos cpu ;-) huawei got my money instead and its been great ;-)

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S10+ since fucking 2019. [...]

Loved my s10 plus when I owned it last year but I did trade it in for an iPhone 11 Pro Max 😔

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and it still got an update recently, it is still a fast and good phone for being 4 years old, i love it

I have switched from Iphone Xs max to S10+ almost a year ago and my S10 plus ceramic is still amazing

[...] I got my s10 plus in prism silver from my wife as a anniversary present, last august and I love it. [...]

This phone have been with me for 8 months now, and couldn't agree more with what your reviews, the best phone so far... for me :) Great review as always Mark, keep it up man!

Hey Mark what's up? h r u? [...] One year passed damn quick. One year older both! Hell with it! 😎😉 Take care and keep up the good work p.s.: spiders there can send you to the afterlife..?...😱

The S10's a different animal, and the same beast! (RIP Kobe) But man, a year already. My S10's been a beast too. Glad you're still happy with the switch, in more ways than one! Been watching all your vids since that vid of yours went viral. Keep it up Mark!

Would’ve been fairly interesting as well if this was an exynos version cause for me, in Europe, this was or still is one of the major reasons to not get a Samsung phone.. [...]

[...] I got my YouTube community page. [...] This is my Huawei MediaPad T3 10 tablet (the screen is still working). Photo taken by me on June 28th, 2025 with Samsung Galaxy S10+ (12 megapixels resolution).

I've bricked a samsung phone (galaxy s10+) using the switch usb c charger so that doesn't surprise me at all

Android can work alright for face tracking. I own a Samsung Galaxy S10+ that I've tested before.

I do! I use it to check Bluesky pretty often on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone aside from using desktop clients like @deck.blue on PC.

Sorry Mark but the ceramic is way more durable than a glass back. There's many drop test videos on YouTube. :) I'm also using S10+ceramic white.

I got my S10+ around the same time, I also made the switch from iPhone to Samsung and I still love it!

My s10+ still performs like brand new. No regrets, everything i need is here. 😍 i didnt even got excited to s20 series

I remember when you got ur s10+ and I ended up getting it as well bc of your review

Still had the headphone jack and the bixby button (I love bxActions) so that's had to get this one

My s10 plus also had a one tiny scratch that I could NEVER get on camera lol

But according to the drop tests the ceramic version will not break or crack as easily as the glass version i have been using the S10+ ceramic black since December, got it from a great deal, also looks as good as new and performance is not even a question

I had a chance to really play with the s10+ for about a day good phone way more of a beast compared to the gs3 I had years ago!

When u got the S10 I watched that video and u were one of the reasons for me to love from my iPhone 6 to the S10 and I haven't regretted it keep it up Mark!👍

I have S10 plus it's still amazing ... pictures...vedios....every things 👍👍👍

[...] Couple of months in and I'm loving it! [...]

I think the S10 lineup hit the record of total people switching to the s10 especially apple users. It gave android a chance to shine.... Happy to have an s10...if I only could afford the s10+

[...] I take great care of my phone. I always have a case on my phone. I also have put screen protector on my camera area. [...]
