Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus smartphone review

Experts said that the Samsung S10 series smartphones will be released in limited edition. They will be available in ceramic designs and in several colors. The company made the right choice, deciding to make them in light colors.

Dark colors have already bored users. They emphasize more premium phone modification. Previous series also offered boring paint jobs such as prisms. Series 10 plus is available in mother-of-pearl, onyx, aquamarine, black and white ceramics.

However, the exclusive color of the case is not the only advantage that the manufacturers of the device can boast of. It has more powerful hardware when compared to other less luxurious smartphone models.

The manufacturers already familiar to everyone with the Snapdragon-855 processor installed for models intended for America and China, for Russia - the eight-core Exynos 9820 chipset. Expanded the amount of RAM, which for different models is equal to 8 and 12 GB, which even Xiaomi does not have, the size in models which reaches 10 GB, which is a record for today.

Increased display size. According to the developers, it is 6.4 inches, but due to the rounded edges and the built-in front camera in the screen, it is smaller. Its resolution reaches 1440x3040 with an aspect ratio of 19: 9. The difference between the parameters and its younger counterparts, such as S10 e noticeably, the screen size of the latter is only 5.2 inches.

The manufacturers decided to equip the front camera with two sensors of 10 and 8 megapixels with apertures of f / 1.9 and f / 2.2, respectively. And for the rear camera, succumbing to the global trend, the developers decided to install already three matrices. Now this combination is 12 + 12 + 16 megapixels with panoramic view.

This ratio is excellent for shooting, even at night. She has always been the main target of the company. They always pay special attention to them. Improvements are noticeable in the volume of the battery, which is now 4100 mAh. The device can be in standby mode for several days. With active work, the charge lasts up to 12 hours.

Specifications

Design

The design of the frameless smartphone turned out to be very interesting. There is nothing superfluous in it, the developers have tried to make it as comfortable and functional as possible. It has good ergonomics and fits well in the hand. Dimensions are calculated under the normal hand of an average adult.

Buttons, sensors and cameras are located in such a way as to create comfort from using the device. Although many experts claim that the company has decided to create a certain image of the S line of smartphones, there are warm colors in the design, an aluminum body with a ceramic design, the presence of three rear camera modules and volume memory.

The location of the buttons remained standard, the manufacturer did not forget about those who like to listen to the radio, so it retained the 3.5 mm jack. There is a slot for installing two SIM cards and a flash drive.

This is nothing more than an attempt to personalize the flagship phones. The lineup includes budget options, as well as more expensive gadgets. Many agree that the smartphone is Apple's answer to their new iPhone XR series.

Despite the dissatisfaction of many, the phone did not turn out to be so ugly. It has smooth outlines, surpasses many analogues of other manufacturers in parameters.

The functionality includes many proprietary Samsung features. The design style is unique to them, in contrast to Chinese brands who prefer to copy other models.

In general, the device turned out to be very interesting. It cannot be called only childish, female or male. It can be soft or brutal depending on the color version. This new generation of unisex smartphones can be used by all people, regardless of age and gender.

Display

The phone received a 6.4-inch screen, but with an actual diagonal of less than 6.3. It has no frames and is made according to the technology of manufacturing an active matrix of LEDs. The developers have added Gorilla 6 series protective glass. It is capable of withstanding heavy loads.

However, it should always be borne in mind that developers never expect to fall from a height of several meters. The design value is no more than one and a half meters. It is at a distance from the floor that the apparatus is in everyday life. It could be a coffee table or a human hand.

The smartphone is available in different versions. For the American continent, the manufacturer used Adreno-640 graphics processors, for the European part - Mali-G76-MP12 with a clock frequency of 2.8 GHz.

A dynamic matrix based on organic light-emitting diodes (Dynamic AMOLED) is used. It has a high degree of color rendering. These are often used on modern LCD monitors and televisions. The quality of images and videos is close to realistic. The use of such a screen on phones is the first of its kind, as no one has yet implemented this technology in their products. It supports the HDR10 + playback standard, which is also a pioneering innovation in the electronics world.

The difference from other brands is the integration of the fingerprint reader into the display itself. Now it is not on the back, as it was before, but is built into the matrix itself. This feature is characteristic only of Samsung brands. It should be expected that other global manufacturers will soon begin to apply this technology to their devices.

It copes well with the load, there is no case that it ever freezes in the game, when viewing heavy photos or video files. The reproduction quality is excellent, which sets this brand apart from all other brands.

The reproduction quality is excellent, there is no distortion and clouding.The video is played in high definition. The textures of the games are drawn extremely realistically, there are no freezes. The number of colors, which is 16 million shades, especially pleases users.

Thanks to this option, the grayscale is improved. All silhouettes and contours are clearly displayed. It does not darken in the sun, all objects are perfectly visible. It is possible to adjust the brightness for dark and light hours of the day, which saves battery power.

Camera

Following the global trend - to use two modules, one of which is monochrome, Samsung has taken the lead in this aspect too. The developers used three sensors, two at 12 and one at 16 megapixels for the main camera. Maximum aperture sensitivity to light f / 2.4. They are equipped with dual pixelation, auto focus, face search and image stabilization.

The use of new technologies is pleasing, the use of three cameras significantly affects the quality of images. It is difficult to notice them with a non-professional eye, but the photos are clear even at night. This result is achieved thanks to a bright flash and the use of three modules at standard sensor sensitivity. But many experts say that the increase in the number of blocks has a marketing basis and leads to a rise in the price of the product, but not to better images.

Everyone has long known that users are more interested in the number of cameras, but not in the result of photography. Although there is no need to complain about the quality of the photo and video, as it is always at its best. The developers have always paid special attention to them, the good quality of the cameras and the resulting images is just a visiting card of the company.

The front camera is also dual and takes excellent selfies. A suitable choice for travel lovers and independent photography. The result differs significantly from the rear version, but in good lighting the images are crisp. It has an autofocus option. There is digital zoom, but it is not so important for selfies. There are several shooting modes.

Chipset

Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S10 + smartphone turned out to be very productive. Even the most optimistic users did not expect this from the developers. Its filling includes the Snapdragon 855 chipset already familiar to many, which has good performance in terms of speed and information processing. But such a filling is only for devices intended for sale in America and China.

For Russian buyers, the developers have equipped it with the Exynos 9820 chipset, which has excellent performance parameters. It is made using 8 nanometer technology and has 8 cores. It uses two layers of Mongoose M4 at 2.7 GHz, two Cortex-A75 processors at 2.3 GHz, four - Cortex-A55 at 1.9 GHz.

This is a new milestone in improving the quality and performance of electronic devices. It is capable of handling huge amounts of data. Applications are launched literally in one click. No freezes and lags. Web pages open in seconds. Of course, the quality of communication is important for their correct functioning. But the hardware filling plays an important role in their performance.

Memory

The smartphone is available in several variants of memory module combinations. Now it is:

• 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory;
• 8 GB and 512 GB;
• 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of hard drive.

The latest model is notable for the fact that not even all modern computers are equipped with such a size of storage space. If you add another 512 GB of removable media to it, then in the compartment we get 1.5 TB for storing the necessary information and installing programs.

This innovation will especially appeal to travel lovers, when there is no way to constantly change flash drives. The internal memory can store a myriad of photos and videos. This is even more memories from a past life and new impressions.

Battery

The battery capacity is 4100 mAh. It is enough for 12 hours of active calls, 8 hours of listening to music and 6 hours of watching videos.The developers have added fast and reversible charging function. The system allows you to completely restore the battery in more than an hour.

There are some flaws in the touch screen, which does not work well through the film.
