Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S10 8/128 GB, Dual nano SIM, mother-of-pearl by Kiril Stanoychev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

The Hong Kong version worked fine for me, and I was able to choose my language with a single touch of the screen during the initial setup process. No problems are caused by the infamous lack of 2022-language letters in the caller's name, but I find it easier to seek for a number in Contacts or in my call log. I did a lot of research to see if it was necessary to bring it along on a trip, and the average data shows that it is still significantly faster in graphics and more cost-effective than excino for an hour of screen usage on a single charge. This factored heavily into my decision to purchase. I don't know where I'm doing wrong, but I never experience any false positives or other issues with the rounded corners of my smartphone. The aesthetic, visual, and tactile pleasures of utilizing the gadget are just as significant to me as having a filling in it. From this vantage point, the S10 in 2022 is unmatched by any other mobile device (at least on Android) now available. I was able to track down and examine the much-touted 7 Pro, and to put it bluntly, it seems like a relic for $40+K in my hand; Sony let me down with its screen and lack of Sony identity (I wanted an Xperia 1, having been a Sony user since 2022), etc. When you get the S10 in your hands, you'll realize that it was designed with you in mind. In standby mode with AOD, the screen looks great and the device becomes a sleek black monolith. The device is incredibly satisfying to use, and I was able to customize everything that didn't work for me.

Pros
  • After much time and effort, I was unable to locate suitable alternatives to the new flagships on the market. The screen's color accuracy, contrast, and brightness make it the industry standard. The screen's expressiveness and depth are truly remarkable. What you hold in your hands is of superior construction, design, appearance, and feel. Quick and trouble-free in its operation. People who complain about the Samsung shell's slowness also baffle me; yes, crank up the interface speed in the developer options as they likely do with other shells, and you'll be satisfied. For aesthetic considerations, I decided for a "non-plus" rather than a second camera for hardware Bokeh. A long cutout is far worse than a round one. Furthermore, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, I find the standard S10's ratio of height to width to be more pleasing, and so did the other people who studied the devices with me. I haven't listened to it side-by-side with any other phones, but compared to the Z5 Compact, the sound is noticeably superior while using the 3.5mm headphone socket. The music that was being played was no longer repulsive. Large enough and juicy enough to merit attention. However, you should know that the phones still can't play as well as the famed Cowon D2 + and Sony XBA-A2 headphones package. As soon as I reinserted my ears into the player, my obsessive interest in sound faded away. True Wireless headphones, which are a combination of wired and wireless components, have yet to reach a quality point where they can be considered worth the premium price. Always On Display is helpful, but you should know that it speeds up the discharge significantly.
Cons
  • Since I have never used the fingerprint sensor before and it seems to react negatively to even the slightest sneeze, I have no intention of starting now. The camera is a letdown, to say the least. When I made the switch from my 2022 phone, I expected great images (even by phone standards), but instead, I found merely some progress. I just want to turn on the camera, focus, and take the picture I need without having to mess about with any of the modes, settings, etc. By this measure, it appears that the widespread adoption of miracles in smartphone cameras has not yet arrived. The battery is voracious; after a day of use in which I delve into the settings of a new phone for many hours while also listening to music and browsing the Internet with WhatsApp (I don't have time for mobile games yet, and I'm not a fan of it, I have a conventional PC), I'm left with 15-25% of my original battery. I get that they like to eat, and that's why this screen has such a high resolution and this stuffing has so much power, but I still want more.
