Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Okay so here is my S10+ (sorta mini) review.
Design
I love the S10+ design. In fact I would say since the S7edge Samsung designs have been quite good. The hardware is superb, in hard ergonomics are great barring the power button. And now that the Bixby button can be remapped even that annoyance has been reduced to a non issue. The overall weight and balance of the device is superb. The shiny aluminum rail with the double glass sandwich construction looks great. I got the Prism White and it is subtle compared to my Lilac Purple S9. Build quality is great, I dropped the phone into a stream in Ojai. Just picked it up, wiped it. Blew out the water from the USB-C port and speaker grille and headphone jack. Left it to dry for 10 minutes on the car dash in the hot sun and it has been chugging along just fine in the past 4 weeks.
Display
Samsung displays are always great. No wonder Apple and Google both use them in their smartphones. I like the Natural look on this Dynamic AMOLED display. Took a bit of getting used to versus the Vivid on the S8 and S9. But now I like it. Also it has a tru tone type filter baked in and IMO does a slightly better job than my Xr.
Battery Life
At 4100 mAh capacity there is absolutely no risk of running out of juice on this device. Also the radios are far superior to my Xr and Pixel 3XL so it maintains signal and thereby loses even less during standby at work where I have crappy signal. I do not game but use the phone mostly for calls, texts, browser, forums, etc and this phone easily gets about 3-4 hour SOT with about 45-50% to spare at the end of the day. It is easily a 1.5 day phone and I usually charge it every other day or a bit of top up here and there.
Performance
SD855, 8GB RAM, enough said. This is the first processor where the Android phone feels as fast and fluid as a fruit stand offering. No issues with stuttering, lag, reboots etc here. And props to Samsung for the One UI, it is actually great to use. No complaints from this Pixel user.
Camera
It is VERY good - not great. It is extremely versatile, which is what I love. I am constantly taking pictures with this phone using the various lenses. In broad daylight, I would say this is the camera to beat. Perhaps the P30 can give it a run for it's money in terms of versatility. For low light pictures, I still prefer the Pixel and same goes for the selfie camera. I do miss the more accurate detail preservation of the Pixel 3XL though. Video is great, slow motion in 4K is superb (I have been using this feature quite a bit lately).
Audio
Speakers are louder than the stereo front facing ones on my Pixel 3XL and louder than the Xr. Headphone jack is present which in itself is great. Dolby Atmos works quite very well on this device and I use it whilst watching Netflix. Because of the fairly large screen I find myself watching videos a bit more on this phone.
