The Samsung Galaxy S10 delivers strong performance, an excellent HDR10+ display, and a versatile triple-camera system, making it a solid mid-size flagship. However, its thin bezels cause accidental touches and its price is only slightly above the more value-oriented S10e, making it less standout in Samsung's lineup.

“That’s a lot of change – just know that it comes at a high price and the Galaxy S10e and S10 Plus flank it from both sides of the coin as better options.”

Acclaimed 4/5
