Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy S10 technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy S10 suits buyers who want a compact, well-equipped phone, with a 3,400 mAh battery and 15 W fast charging as the main trade-off; both fall below average for phones of its time. Its 6.1″ Dynamic AMOLED display packs 550 ppi and reaches 800 nits peak brightness. Pixel density is among the highest of its time, while peak brightness is higher than on most phones launched around the same time. The 60 Hz refresh rate is average.

With 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, there is generous room for apps and files. Its AnTuTu result is 328,366, and performance is better than that of most phones of its time. The main camera has an f/1.5 aperture and optical image stabilization, while a telephoto camera adds 2x optical zoom. The camera setup is among the best of its time; it includes three rear cameras and supports 4K video recording.

Wireless charging at 15 W and reverse wireless charging add flexibility. The phone also has IP68 protection, expandable storage, NFC, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Among phones of its time, the Galaxy S10 stands out for its display, cameras, and connectivity, but battery capacity and charging speed remain its clearest compromises. Its NeoScore is 5.9: a compact, feature-rich choice for buyers who prioritize the screen and cameras over battery capacity.
