[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] paocavallo:
I have been using Samsung Galaxy series smartphones for something like 8 years (I was an HTC lover before).

In my opinion so far there have been up and down with very good upgrades and very bad ones too but surely the S10 (mine is a SM-G973F) is the most disappointing one.

My first Samsung Galaxy was the S2: its performances were extremely good compared to the Apple and other rival smartphones and it was really reliable. These two things - above all - have been pushing me purchasing Galaxy series smartphones. So I've got the S4, then the S6 which I did not like at all so I decided to give Samsung another chance purchasing the S7 which I loved and kept for three years. I did not purchase the S8 and the S9 because I've judged poor (and now I am even more sure I was right) their upgrades.

Then having my S7 facing problems mostly related to the battery performance and the bluetooth compatibility with other devices and having a look at the promising features of this brand new S10 SM-G973F (8Gb of RAM over all) I've decided to pre-order it the day soon after the official presentation.

Now I totally regret it.

Firstly the battery drains extremely quickly. My 3 years old S7 battery had very similar performances during its last weeks of life and this is very ridiculous and frustrating.

Secondly the modem has got something wrong because the signal and the quality of the phone calls is really poor. The conversations keep interrupting or do not start at all (having a sort of frozen screen attempting to gt the line) very often when the signal is not very good. Moreover there are too many problems whilst on international roaming (possibly something due to the automatic network selection) causing further apps issues and messing smartwatches up too.

Thirdly the screen protector and the fingerprint sensor are ridiculously unreliable. After just a few hours of usage the screen protector was already starting unpeeling and bubbling!

And on top of those extremely serious issues the software seems too complex... it promises to "smartly" adapt itself and manage everything properly but in the end just slows down and mislead you...

Generally speaking I think that this is unacceptable for a so called "flagship" (pricy) device and the Samsung customer care should do much more than asking to perform standardised tests and in the end asking to bring the device to the service centre...

I would expect such a service for a cheap device from an average manufacturer but not from Samsung definitely.

I am also coming from S7 exynos and s10 really proves to be an upgrade. Battery life was an issue initially but now i am getting ~5 hrs sot. It easily lasts thru the day.

Other issue was the fp scanner. After a few days i deleted all fp scans and re-registered my thumbs and now its a lot better, still not as fast as conventional fp scanners but that was to be expected as its a new tech.

I don't know how your screen protector came off because mine is intact after a month of use. You may be a clumsy phone user.

And lastly regarding performance i must say say sorry but you must be lying by saying software slowed down. I am using my phone at 1440p resolution and it is the fastest perfoming device i have yet experience. Its better than my friend's iphone x. App opening is blazing fast and i have yet to experience even a minor slow down.

So far i am loving my device due to overall package as it is lighter than all flagships, its handy, easy to use and handle, screen is top notch and software experience is great. Cameras are great too. Its overall a great experience without any major drawback, worth every penny.

I am flasholic and spent the last months lost between the S9 and 6T going back and forth to finally admit that the 6T won my heart for a good time.

Then the S10 fell between my hands and I fell in love immediately and preordered it with its buds. No turning back for me for many reasons :

- VR

- Build quality

- Feel in hand and comfort of use

- One hand usability

- Screeeen!

- AOD + double tap to wake + lift to wake

- Sound quality and dual speakers + Dolby Atmos

- Ease of use and samsung features

- Camera and its app!

- Wide angle camera

- Dual Bluetooth output

- PowerSharing

- S-Health

- OneUI is really good (except for people who were traumatised by touchwiz and can't admit it had finally evolved)

- Everything works as it should without the need of installing additional apps or mods

- The auto changing lockscreen wallpaper is a good addition

- Routines (like tasker) is the best feature deeply embedded to the system

- To be woken up by an alarm which not only tells the time but also, thanks to bixby, can read the news or tell me about my day or do any programmed task I wish

- ... Some more subtle things

One thing I miss from the 6T is the incredible battery life but I consider it is a fair price for perfection
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] hoseth0711:
Removing the pre installed screen protector is probably the best decision I've ever made. Finally the fingerprint reader is working 90% of the time instead of 50% of the time which was what I got before I removed the rubbish screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] more2come:
In terms of overall performance, Samsung managed to minimize the gap between the Exynos and the Snapdragon version. I've had the opportunity to play around with both variants. Some apps manage to launch a little faster on the Snapdragon and the raw GPU performance is slightly superior, but the Exynos/Mali combination does a good job. Missing out on the superior ISP of the Snappy is sad, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] brdsng:
Did you replace your screen protector with another?

The preinstalled is the worst, mine is so scratched up.

I've never had so many scratches on a screen, good thing it's on their sub-par screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rexton270:
Just unboxed my green S10. Set up is done. It's feel "smaller " than my A50 but I am happy with it. My first impression is bit mixed. When turned on battery showed 56%. When finished with set up ( preferred manual) battery is down to 20%. Hooked up on 5Ghz wifi. Anyway, will be back in few days of usage with comments. Oh and one nice surprise: it's dual sim :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] abhichak93:
Green S10 looks pretty good in images, I'm sure it looks even better in person. Sadly, only three options are available in India. I have the white one.

Just out of curiosity, is your device Exynos or Snapdragon based?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rexton270:
Exynos. I prefer it over snapdragon. With proper setting it delivers a lot. On my second day and battery shows 38%. Impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Federicadr:
How do you set it, if I can ask? I am doing like 28h with almost 5h sot...I miss my p20 pro battery, everything else is wonderful on this s10..

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rexton270:
First of all I don't use Facebook or similar craps. Second disable any apps you don't use. Open the app,force stop,clear data,disable background data use then disable it. When finished restart the phone. On every app you disable background data you can check manually for news and updates afterwards. Disabled AoD as well, but one thing I miss on S10 is the notification led. With this setup I get 2 days easily, on second day evening still 48% battery left. If switching the phone off during night (23-7) then 3 days later have around 18% left. My usage is average with emails, YouTube (upto 60 min),games (90 minutes) and news (Feedly,sammobile and xda) several times a day and of course calls and viber.

See pictures in next post.

Please push the back button and reload the previous window.

oops forgot to Ctrl-C (skip once in 100 times and only in such case i get this error - murphys law).. token & captchas makes me retype all.

setup mostly done (apps activated, vpn running, location tracking, location sharing, permanent bt watch, usual magisk/xposed plugins as on each phone) except debloating and no battery enhancements (all dozes enabled incl. drainy raise2wake, no LKT/FDE/LSpeed/Naptime/Servicely), not bad battery result for my favorite scenario which tries to find the potential of each phone with as close to 1:1 titaniumbacked up setup possible:

standby_wifi_home scenario

S10: 1.2-1.5%/hr

Mi9: 1.5-1.9%/hr in such setup (see link)

6T: 0.6%/hr est ~1.0%/hr in such setup (flawed result in link: AOD not mentioned in the link and starting from 100% is not correct due to battery reporting glitch from 100% to 99%; but still that phone battery is super good)

Wakelocks: PowerManagerService,mmc0_detect,umts_ipc0,bbd_wake_lock

pure_sot_wifi_home scenario

Screenon is taking like 10%/hr on web browsing. Normal. Pure_SOT_web will be likely 10-12hr like on Mi9.

And somewhere between the pure SOT (10hr) and standby (3days) is the real battery life based on SOT-to-standby ratio, conditions (wifi/lte, moving/still). Reports of SOT are senseless without this mentioned.

mixed_mixed_office scenario

in a pretty stereotypical scenario, 2hr moving and 3g and still for 6hr with office wifi (which drains more than home wifi due to proximity) i measure battery 100%->X when going home for couple of days. Result TBD but for example. 6T gave 85%, Mi9 gave 75%, i expected 65% for S10 based on historical experience with Samsungs but it looks more encouraging now. [update] first result: ~80% "back home". not bad!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] doggydog2:
here debloat script ready: to be added soon. 102 ripped packages tested after boot OK.

intersting when i tried to remove Payments, screen got locked "Contact assistance". Looked like soft brick situation, but restart SystemUI was enough. So i crystalized this app as i dont know what component is watching it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] paocavallo:
Yes, of course!

It was so good that Samsung itself once replaced the whole device because of the screen protector issue and tha battery life, then after a couple of month they managed to change the whole motherboard because the USB port was defective....

I say it again: NEVER EVER had so many issue with a smartphone!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] sixline:
You may be unlucky. No problem here after about 6 months. Screen protector intact. Mother board working. Great device.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] okhayko:
Best phone so far!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Finally a phone that I have no desire switching from over a couple months. It does everything great. S11 next!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nic2112:
I like my S10, but what completely spoils it for me is the fingerprint scanner. I have dry hands and I believe that's the problem, but the scanner never works well for me. Works great on my Note 9 and 6T, complete pain on the S10. I tried to register the same finger multiple times, even with multiple levels of dryness and I cannot get it to work. I have to resort to enabling face unlock for the phone to be tolerable and I don't like doing it because it's not very secure.

I put the phone up for sale because I find myself enjoying using my 6T a lot more than my S10 even though it's an older phone and doesn't have some key things that I really enjoy having (headphone jack and wireless charging).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nic2112:
I'm so happy, I was able to sell my S10 for a bit less than what I owe so I can get out of my two year contract and find something else.

The OnePlus 7 (not pro) is very tempting
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] DaReDeViL:
Oh, I'm in the same situation. Preparing to switch to op7pro. I ordered a nebula blue one with 12g/256g but won't sell my S10 until I receive it by the weekend
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nic2112:
I'm very tempted by the pro, I'm just concerned it will be too big
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] DaReDeViL:
The op7 isn't a big upgrade compared to the op6t. The op7pro is. They are all big anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nic2112:
Between 6T and 7, you get better fingerprint scanner, faster CPU (probably GPU as well), better cameras, stereo speakers, 30w charging and UFS 3 so it's still a good upgrade, but probably doesn't feel like a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] DaReDeViL:
That's why I talked about "big upgrade" ;)

There's another big pro for the op7pro : the dev community is really considerable compared to the op7...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Nic2112:
That's a big factor, there won't be much development for the 7
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Already ordered mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Pixelguy:
anyone else pissed off with the power button placement?

Best phone to ever have after switching from Apple
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] geekhunt:
Just read that the Oneplus 8 with have the S10 punch hole design display.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] eliaspizarro:
one day with s10 and i want to smash to the wall

get away from samsung/huawei phones, these have an amazing hardware, but a crappy software, lot of bloat, some malware and some apps designed for tech retarded people.

if you want to use a custom rom

if you want to use root

if you want to use VPN

if you want to use a custom kernel

if you want to use mods

if you want to use VoIP Calls

if you want cpu performance

if you want GPU performance

if you want hardware compatibility

Stay away from these brands.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] c19932:
couldnt you use root and put a custom rom on?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] codevalley:
Anyway to get the Pixel (Q) gesture navigation

On S10 they provide this swipe gestures (for 3 button layout), but Pixel's navigation is amazing,
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] axalight:
Cool. I bought it for 270 dollars and for this money it's awesome. I didn't even flash it, because i have snapdragon. Doesn't like him battery, ****ty structure (ODIN), and overheating. (Btw, it was new)

I recomend it for buying, if this not exynos-based version

As per the leaks, S10 plus will have 12GB of ram. Multitasking is much easier than the previous versions. And it has exynos 9820 octa a powerful chip.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] bkeaver:
Lol you were in another thread stating that the s10+ will have 10gb of ram. Which is it...10 or 12?

After re-reading that post I stand corrected you did say 12gb in the other post. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
There will be different iterations, with 6, 8 and 12 gb's of ram. There will be three regular versions of it, and one 5g version.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Ace42:
All 3 variants are responsive, smooth, or your preferred adjective. Didn't encounter any performance hiccups - not that that's surprising. This IS the 855 after all. 835 is still speedy, so wouldn't expect anything less of their latest chip.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] rookie1580:
What I have seen says either 10 or 12 GB RAM. Also, from what I have read, there is a version with a Snapdragon 855 processor in it, which is what I will be getting along with the one that has 12GB of RAM.

Edit: Also as is well known, phones can be made faster by turning off animations and transitions and other aesthetic things added in just to make the front end look pretty. For max speed I suggest Nova Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Ace42:
US/CAN receive Snapdragon variants, whereas Europe gets the Exynos model. This has been the case for a while.

You should stick to the one from your region, however, for the sake of warranty and repairs. For example, Samsung UK won't honor a warranty for a US model (and vice versa).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] RUKI:
Exynos 9820 very impressive speed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] soumya_digi:
Exynos version is not for gaming at all.

Coming from a OnePlus 5, this thing is a major downgrade.

Can't wait till it actually comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] juliusjadey:
It has 12 GB of ram in S10 plus, Multitasking and while scrolling is smooth as butter. Expecting there are no more lags in this S series.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] geekhunt:
Is it the official news or just rumour that it has 12GB RAM?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rose4uKY:
I read the TB version may have 12 gigs of ram on the 5G version. The regular 128 will have 6 and the 512 will have 8 and maybe the 1TB 10 on the 10 plus. Guess will find out soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] therealroyston2:
how do i rate the thread?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] juliusjadey:
Nothing is official till now, All are rumors. Samsung didn't confirmed anything officially. But there is a rumor that 1TB version of S10 plus will have 12gigs of ram.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rose4uKY:
I think I may get the 8 Gig 512 one. I have 64 now on my 9 plus so 128 is plenty but I also have 6 ram now and would like more 8 sounds good LOL! Is the battery the same on all 3 versions of the 10 plus? I know the show is Wed at 11am in California which will be 2pm my time. I work 2:30-11 so I won't get to watch but 30 minutes of it will they be showing it to watch after like a repeat?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] galaxys:
I'll be getting the 8gb / 512gb 10+ model. This will be a step up from my Note 9 6/128... ??
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] thunderroid:
1 terabyte and 12 GB is too much... I will probably go for the 8GB and 512gb :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Combonary:
512 GB and 8GB RAM S10 plus coming up[emoji16]
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Screwedupsmitty:
Turns out all 1tb versions are gonna come with 12gb ram. Think this is going to effect battery life? Maybe better to get 128 in the better colors and use an SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Rose4uKY:
I'm getting the 8 gig 128 so glad it's 8 gigs Just need to pick out a color and decide whether to trust Samsung trade in or go with Best Buy their doing 550 also and I have a 50 dollar gift card to Best Buy and their unlocked is 949 if you activate it that day.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] shollywood:
From what I've seen ONLY 12GB RAM in 1TB version and thosee are only ceramic as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Ace42:
The S10 & S10+ can keep a range of apps in memory. I didn't try a multitasking test on the 10e, though I can say the other models deserve high marks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Notefan161:
That’s the one i went with.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Duncan1982:
It's nice that a 12/1tb is there as an option, however at £1400 I have to pass, plus that's not available on Contract :p

The 8/512 will suite me fine until the Note 10 drops :p
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Notefan161:
Yeah that’s what i went with.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Combonary:
If you're not looking for 1TB storage then 8GB RAM is more than enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] thunderroid:
I ended up getting the 128 version instead of the 512, $250 extra was a lot for me. I ended up also getting the $50 discount because of the reservation. Furthermore I'm also getting a free memory card (because of the reservation) and Galaxy buds +student discount. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
I got the 512 version, with white ceramic 8gb. I had to have the ceramic version, as I don't want to use a case anymore. Also, many people forget that the external sd card is much, much, MUCH slower than the internal sd card. So getting 512 internal is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] razen_kain:
I've have the Snapdragon version, standard s10, 8/128 gig and memory is phenominal. I've had it for almost 2 months now and it has never once stuttered or been slow to open anything. Most of my everyday apps are always in memory and they are right there on demand instantly. This phone is far more powerful than I'll ever make use of.

As far now, I didn't notice any lags during scrolling and Even when I do Multi-tasking. Phone keeps more apps in memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] ArunRocker:
Yes the phone performs well and good.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Jannomag:
Smoothest Android experience I've ever had yet and I used Huawei EMUI 8 before, which is also extremeley smooth.

Stock Android doesn't run as smooth as EMUI or ONE UI do.

Only iOS runs smoother, but I thinks it's also the touch implementaion into iOS, not only optimized software.

I had an S7 as a work phone until last year and this was so terrible to work with. It lagged everywhere. Samsung made a huge effort with One UI.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] Devhux:
The only time I've noticed some stutter is the odd time when swiping down the notification shade on the lock screen. Even then, it's been very rare.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Real Life Review] DrearierJester1:
S10 scrolling is okay, iOS still has the great scrolling experience I've had. I hope Android or maybe Samsung can mimic that scrolling behavior.
