for a Long time, Samsung was considered as a driver of innovation in the Smartphone market. In the last two years, the competition is catching up, but powerful – while the Galaxy S9 came along quite dull. Now the Koreans have shown with the Galaxy S10, its a Plus model with the larger Display as well as a with the addition of “e”-marked, easily-defined savings option three really exciting devices. We have tested it.

The biggest difference of the three new models is the Display. After the Galaxy S8 was the first Smartphone to almost no edge more, was the case of the new S-models is still further evaporated. This was made possible with a Trick: The front cameras in both the S10 and S10e, and two of the Plus-model – look out now directly through a hole from the Display. First of all, it irritates a little, you get used to but it quickly. A real advantage over the Notch baptised savings from other manufacturers, the hole is not a looker but it’s all.

The hole in the Display is noticeable, especially in front of bright backgrounds. Here is the dual camera of the Galaxy S10, Plus it is easy to see

Due to the narrower edge, there are at a moderate housing size a lot to see. With a 6.1 inch screen on the S10 is almost as large as that of the previous Plus model in the large variant, gigantic 6.4 inch in it this time. Nevertheless, it remains relatively portable. This is all too big, with “only” a 5.8-inch S10e an Alternative. However, a slightly worse resolution With 2280×1080 pixels, the S10e is a bit less sharp than the more expensive variants with their 3040 x 1440 pixels. In everyday life you have to look very carefully to spot this difference.

As Samsung’s usual AMOLED Display is a real cracker. The contrasts and the presentation of colors are simply great, the Display is clearly one of the very best on the market. As the first manufacturer to Samsung, and also supports the TV Standard HDR10+.

to be able To display something Fancy to show, has filed Samsung in addition to the cameras. In the S10 and the S10 Plus a three-compartment camera, is the first to use, the one composed of wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens (12MP) and one for Ultra-wide-angle shooting (16 MP). The S10e uses a dual camera, the telephoto lens is here.

The result, from cameras and in the Background story Artificial intelligence. The images are full of Details that catch the colours and light moods very natural. Interesting: During a long time, Samsung’s Smartphones for exaggerated color representation were known, the current Galaxy S10 compared to an iPhone XS in a color that clearly. For a comparison, see the photo gallery.

The Galaxy S10 Plus (in the track is always to the left) and the iPhone XS give yourself in good light in terms of the quality very little. Both of them catch a very sharp, detail-rich images.

As particularly good Samsung highlighted the night mode switches is switched on, image automatic automatically. The results in low light are actually pretty good, especially in the dark areas of noise but clearly. With the night mode of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro or Google Pixel 3 Samsung can’t keep up. Maybe Samsung can create here via a Software Update remedy.

The Selfie-camera shoots good pictures, the S10-Plus a group mode is added by the second camera, the more people fit into the picture. That doesn’t work quite well, as a reason to buy it is sufficient for the majority of customers.

well-Known Design, great technology,

The Design of Samsung holding back, otherwise, to a large extent. There are more Gorilla glass front and back, surrounded by a metal frame. The Plus model Samsung is offering here only a Version with a chic ceramic-to-back. The fingerprint scanner, Samsung has installed in the S10 and the S10 Plus directly into the Display. You want to unlock the device, it is necessary to put only your Finger on the right spot on the bottom edge. It sounds easier than it is. Because of the sheer size of the devices, the Finger comes regularly wrong on the ultrasonic sensor, you need more and more as an unlock attempt. Us the solution to the savings-liked model, therefore, better: Here, the Scanner is built into the page, depending on the Hand with the thumb or the index finger to make it easily accessible.

Under the hood there are as usual top-of-the-art technology. The self-developed Exynos processor is one of the fastest on the market, is not achieved in the test programs just Apple’s top processor A12. In everyday life is likely to make but hardly noticeable. The three-S10-models to get any task done rapidly. This also includes the particularly fast storage helps, the Samsung installed. In the smallest S10e with the 6 GB of RAM, the top model of the S10 Plus get 12 GB. All the others are equipped with 8 GB but more than adequate. As data memory a minimum of 128 GB are available, depending on the model you are even up to a Terra byte. In all of the memory is also expandable.

While all models with a cargo get through a whole day, at 10e, the Reserve at the end of the day, noticeably smaller than the Standard model. The S10 Plus, however, you can at a moderate Nutzung even a second day. So for those who value long term, with the largest model on the best.
