After the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 series in San Francisco last February 20, 2019, we were handed units so we can experience the latest flagship device of the Korean brand for ourselves. I happily took it around the city and used it as my main shooter. It did not disappoint.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is the new, almost-everything-included Samsung phone that you really want, if you can afford it – and can wrap your hands around its massive display.

Excellent screen-to-body ratio; In-screen fingerprint sensor; Wireless PowerShare perk; Strong battery life

Sizable price hike; Bixby button still exists; Slippery design

Sitting atop the currently available family, the S10 Plus is the model to get if you want the biggest of everything. It has a bigger screen, bigger battery and even an extra camera on the front of the device.

Fantastic screen; Barely any feature sacrificed; Ultrasonic fingerprint is a huge improvement over optical versions; Three cameras give amazing versatility

Battery life (on the Exynos version) isn't as good as expected; Main camera isn't as reliably excellent as the Pixel 3 or IPhone XS

The Samsung Galaxy S range of flagship smartphones has been going for years and the latest model is the tenth anniversary phone.

Swish design; Classy display; Two-way charging; In-screen fingerprint sensor

Expensive; Camera cut-out will divide opinion

The S10 Plus is the best Galaxy phone ever made, but Samsung's Exynos version reviewed here has less than exemplary battery life. Here's our full review.

While I am personally a Samsung Galaxy Note and S Pen fan , after nearly two weeks with the new Galaxy S10 Plus there is a lot to like in this 10th anniversary phone that has me very excited for the Note 10 later this year.

Gorgeous display; Long battery life; Capable triple rear cameras; microSD; 3.5mm headset jack; wireless charging; Ability to charge other gear wirelessly; Excellent RF reception and call quality

Fingerprint scanner not as fast as capacitive methods; Occasional inadvertent screen presses

Launching around the globe a few days ahead of the world's largest mobile show was the ultimate big-dog move. Samsung celebrated the 10th anniversary of its flagship phone line by launching its latest device on Apple's sometimes-stomping grounds at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Center.

Samsung released its Galaxy S range of smartphones this year and the Galaxy S10+ is its top-of-the-line product featuring a 6.4-inch Infinity-O display with a cutout for dual cameras, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and triple cameras on the back.

Early 2019 is a particularly fraught time to be in the mobile phone market as either a buyer or a seller. Global sales are flat; it appears the world can only absorb so many smartphones.

Screen quality and size; top-shelf components; can act as wireless charger

An expensive 4G phone at the start of the 5G era

The 10th Galaxy S phone feels familiar, but is still excellent

Excellent display; Fast performance and strong battery life; Versatile camera system; A headphone jack

New in-screen fingerprint scanner is slower and more finicky than older ones; Camera performance not as good as Pixel in low light; Slow software update schedule
