I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus on Google Fi in the U.S., Spain, and Portugal for 13 days. Our Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is running Android 9 Pie and Samsung One UI version 1.1 on the February 1, 2019 Android security patch.

Camera quality is so-so Mediocre in-display fingerprint scanner Expensive

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

Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus has everything you'd want in a phone, and more.

Strong performance; Great battery life; Versatile triple cameras; Gorgeous; expansive HDR10+ screen; Clean; smart OneUI software

Slim bezels means lots of fingerprints; Slow wired charging

Samsung launches new flagship Galaxy S models at the start of every year. This year, a lot was expected from the Korean manufacturer, especially as we were eager to see what design direction it would take.

Samsung has stepped up its game from the Galaxy Note 9 to the Galaxy S10 range , specifically the S10+, all within a timeframe of around five months between the two announcement dates.

Brilliant display; Edge-to-Edge screen; Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor; Reverse wireless charge; Battery life; Feature-rich

Increased price; Accidental palm touch; Slightly sluggish reverse charge

This all makes the Galaxy S10+, in my mind, an excellent phone, but not the smartest buy for mid-2019. You're going to need those dollars to burst into the 5G world next year. Get a less expensive model, enjoy it, and put yourself in a better position for when the big innovations come.

Class-leading display; Most powerful processor on an Android phone; Fastest modem; Wide-angle camera; High-quality build

Expensive; No advances in low-light photography over previous model
