The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is one of the best flagships of 2019. It is now nine years since Samsung launched their S series smartphones, and since then, they have never let their customers down. When the word S series is mentioned, the first thing that usually comes into people’s mind is quality and class. The S series smartphones are known for their unique design, exclusive features, and excellent performance. The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is no exception. From infinity-O display and three rear cameras to notch-less screen, this smartphone has everything that a smartphone needs to have. That is why it is the flagship phone of the largest mobile company in the world.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus design and display
The Galaxy s10+ features a new curved 6.4-inch infinity O display with thin bezels and chin. The side frames are made of aluminum metal while the back is made of glass with a fantastic gradient finish. Quality, wise, the Infinity O displays that this phone feature is among the best on the market. It features a 1440 by 3040 pixels, 19.9:9 ratio and 551 PPI density. The S10+ display is bigger than the 5.8-inch display in the s9 plus and matches the screen size of note 9. The finish is a bit slippery but feels good on hand. The new infinity O display is notch-less, a feature that you would expect from a flagship phone. The overall screen to body ratio is 93.1%, meaning that the screen covers most of the display. The overall build quality of the S10+ is fantastic. It is a true definition of a premium grade smartphone. The two selfie cameras are housed in a punch hole, which is not distracting. The default screen resolution is FHD, but you can upgrade it to QHD for better color and contrast. This is an essential feature for people who like watching movies on their phones. The S10+ features an ultrasonic sensor that works better the optical sensor, which often requires more pressure. Its fingerprint sensor is by far much accurate than one found on Huawei mate 20.
