4:57 - CORRECTION: There is a microSD card slot on all S10 models EXCEPT the S10 5G, I got mixed up :) Premium hardware - no other way to describe the 2019 Galaxy S10. 4 years later, it might not be top of the line, for under $200 you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer looking device.

A bit of correction tho, only the S10 5G has no expandable storage, while the rest of the S10 lineup have it 😉 Also, hope you re-review the galaxy S8 sometime soon 😌
The Galaxy S9/Note9 and S10/Note10 series were the peak of Samsung imho. The Note 9 was the last everything phone with the S10 series having little compromise as well. Such great phones
Same here, I’m also an iPhone fan, but I will admit, when the galaxy S 10 and galaxy note 10 came out, I was really impressed with them, I actually watch the event. I feel like the galaxy S 10 series was the last overall great Samsung galaxy S phone in my opinion. they had everything.
Did anyone else catch the fact that the video is exactly 8:55 long? That's either a complete coincidence or one of the best easter eggs I've seen in a tech video since the S10s use the Snapdragon 855
I've been using an S10e since march of 2020. I don't plan on upgrading for a while. This phone still does 100% of what I need it to do, with little to no slowdowns. $100 is definitely worth it if you're looking for a good bargain.
@@impulsedguy6557 my battery works great. If I stay on it constantly, I have to charge it about 6 hours later. If I'm just using it normally during a work day, it's at about 65% when I get home after an 8 hour shift.
One major thing that ended with this line is making the smaller phone have all the same things as the larger one. The s10 (which I have) has a 1440p screen where now that only comes on the plus/ultra model. Also this was the last series to use expandable memory and headphone jack. If not for the camera, I would not have upgraded (s23 ultra in the mail as we speak).
I love my S10 plus 1TB, it's still like brand new but had to get the S23 Ultra 1TB, but I find myself going back to the S10 plus periodically. Still flows like Fluid. I bought it on Pre-order and I still have over 500 GB left in memory. Sometimes I wonder why I purchased the S23 Ultra whenever I pick up the S10 plus.
I got an S10 for my mum ($200 aud in fantastic shape) and she loves it. it's plenty fast for her, it takes nice pictures and she loves the colour(we got the blue-pink iridescent one). the S10 is still a great phone for people who aren't majorly into tech.
I work in IT, but I'm not a fan of constantly upgrading gadgets, so the S10 is sufficient for me at the moment. I anticipate using it for approximately two more years.
Still use a S10+!! I still have microSD and an headphone jack and Android 12 is only 1 version out of date. I seriously don't feel the need to upgrade, it does everything that I need a phone to do.
I have a S10 and it is the best phone I have ever had. I moved from iphone 8 to S10. With 512GB memory card, I keep all my photos, videos, movies, and a huge database of music, without worrying about running of storage. Earlier this year I bought a S23FE, and it was a big mistake - S23FE is too heavy, too thick, too slow (too many bloatware), not even storage, basically not a practical phone. I continue to use S10 as my main phone, especially when I travel on business.
my wife has one she still uses, she actually went to the Pixel 4a because the s10 camera glass cracked. she loved the 4a as well, but when it died in the bath, I found it was actually really easy to repair, so I did! It is honestly a better daily phone than my Pixel 6 in every way (other than refresh rate - but I get so many accidental touches on the pixel it drives me nuts) the size is ideal, it has a headphone jack, the newest camera updates give good photo's and it feels modern, fast, and premium. If they made a new phone that was the same body as the s10 with a 120hz screen and new processor I would jump on it in a heartbeat.
Oh shoot, you're completely write, it's only the S10 5G that *doesn't* allow for it. Whoopsy. Will edit the pinned comment, thank you for the correction!
Always wanted an S10 or S10e, I still do really want one of those in the ridiculous bright yellow, but even back then it was getting pretty old so I passed on them sadly. Do wish I got one sometimes.
We had the yellow s10e. Great phone if you wanted a smaller phone. Just replaced it with an s23 to retain that size. But I think if I could get another s10e we would have been very happy.
I am using the galaxy s10 and it's still a good value , I use it for my youtube channel as well as playing games and using apps and having my SD card FILLED TO THE BRIM with music so I think the s10 is a great value 😀 👍
I'm still using Galaxy S10+! It is surpringly good phone. Camera system is good enough for me. It isn't great, but it's good. Can't expect much from almost 5 year old device. 1TB of storage is also nice to have. I have it half filled and it is running great with little to no slowdowns. Battery isn't great, but it's understandable for such an old device. Can't complain here, it goes through the day. I wouldn't upgrade it for a year or maybe even two, but I've used Galaxy Fold for a few weeks and I absolutely loved the form factor of it, so I'd probably switch to a Fold4 in a few months.
Thanks for the excellent review. I bought a 10+ earlier today for $89 & free shipping off eBay. I'm looking forward to this "new" for me phone. Your review was very helpful and It helped me to believe I'll be more than happy with it. My old flip phone will be jealous I'm sure.
I feel the same way. I upgraded from my S8+ when this launched because it was just that good. Haven't been enticed since then though. The removed features like no expandable storage or headphone jack really puts me off.
@@hmnc444 you still using it? Idrc about msd and the loss of headphone jack is a bummer but I can cope with it in terms of the newer phones. My phone has headphone jack, dual sim and msd but it is a used midrange from nearly 7 years ago and so slow I have to wait like 5 seconds for an app to open and I can't even play the smallest of games for passing of time. Thinking I should get the s20 or a new budget phone, the redmi note 11 or 12, what think you? If the s10 can handle 4 hours of daily usage, then the s20 is probably the way to go with the slightly better screen time.
@@Dannymart_88445 lol or you’re just a kid. I returned the S21 in a day because of how lackluster the screen was, it was a downgrade from the S10 and the phone overheated like crazy.
I have an s10e and its the best phone ever made. Ive had mine for years and the back glass only has shards left, one of the metal corners is completely cracked as is the front screen and the phone is as snappy as ever, the speakers are LOUD and the clearest even compared to newer phones the camera is good enough for my purposes, it has fingerprint security and most importantly it has a 3.5mm jack that I use daily for my car or my cheap iems. Not the fanciest/fastest phone around but definitely pack a punch for a "budget phone", really durable too
I got my S10 for 4 years now. The only downside is the battery. I lost 1/3 of the battery capacity. I cant wait to buy the S24 and finally retire my S10.
I loved my white S10. Beautiful design, great cameras, great display, light weight (so light compared to my S21U). But after 3 years of loyal service it was time to upgrade. I gave it to a friend and she's still using it.
Thanks for doing my video idea! And also, I own an S10 myself. I got it for around $200 (PHP 10,000). And I can say, it still holds up exceptionally well, it takes great pictures, it performs quick enough (although lags alot and thermal throttles whenever I'm in somewhere very warm), and overall, for the price, it's a better alternative to other phones like the Samsung Galaxy A14 or the like. Although, I am planning to upgrade to a newer Samsung flagship or any other android flagship, but the S10 will always have a place in my heart. 2018-2019 truly is peak Samsung, and they would never reach that same level of progression ever again. (EDIT: I just realized that it wasn't my idea that got approved, it was someone else's. But at least I got the video that I long awaited.)
I'm debating between getting this and the a24 and i know this is definitely better but besides the battery life do you think the S10 is still worth getting and runs good after 4 years?
@@Nicksantillanoat this point, I recommend that you should just get the A24, as the S10 is getting quite old and it is no longer supported. But, for the same price, you can get a used Samsung Galaxy S21.
@@anotheryuando_lol ok well thanks for the advice I'll consider it alot more now and also look into the s21 that you mentioned as well, but how about the normal a14 not the 5g except i heard alot of negative reviews about it so im not sure what your thoughts are of it is the a24 still better than a14, or should i just move on to looking at refurbished samsung phones which i can get for about the same price of new budget phones?
The S10 is still tied with the LG V30 for my favorite smartphone of all time. It is the only phone that meets all of my criteria for the perfect smartphone: 6.1" or smaller screen, premium triple cameras, headphone jack, SD slot, and respectable battery life. My only nitpick was the curved display. If mine didn't meet a premature death and I didn't fall for one of Samsung's great trade in promos for broken screen devices, I'd still be wringing the last bit of life out of it today just to keep the headphone jack and SD slot.
i have a 7 yrold oppo A83 phones this thing has been tanking every sh*t i give, and its still working to this day, but i think its time to buy a new phone im researching everything I can to make sure i'll get the best out of my buck, thx for showing me this
Here's my opinion, If you are looking for a second phone or a temporary phone then s10 is really good. but for a primary phone the battery life is quite bad. around 4 hours - 5 hours is the maximum. For heavy users either get the s10+ or something newer like the s21(around $250). But if you don't care about battery s10 is the best for you it has everything except good battery life.
I had an S 10 for almost 2 years before it unfortunately got stolen and replaced. This phone is probably my favorite phone I’ve had it’s not a close second. I miss it dearly. I would probably still be using it right now if that didn’t happen,.
God if you get an old used one off eBay I can’t imagine how much the battery would have degraded. I prefer my devices to half 1.5-2 day battery life and I feel like a used one of these would have only a few hours of battery.
I have a s9 that had the notification LED on left side of the screen. It also informed me when it was charging. My sweet wife handed me a pre-used s10 and found out it doesn't have the notification light. It does have something called a edge light but that's not any good. When you get a message, it blinks only once and that's it while the s9 light would blink forever until you answer the message. What's up with that?😮
There are 2 big reasons why I love my S10: (1) 512GB memory card slot, (2) excellent size and light-weight. The only problem is the battery; after 5 years of use, I need to keep it fully-charged within 24 hours. The camera works even better than S23FE which goes out of focus all the time. Note: I made a mistake of buying a S23FE and I am still using S10 as main phone instead of S23FE.
Good video. Just to mention one spec. At 4:57 you mention there is no micro sd card slot. The S10 and S10 Plus both have the ability to add a micro sd card. I still own both. They have a sim card tray that holds both the sim card and the micro sd card.
Currently daily driving this phone. Got it for a steal and this is an amazing long term phone. No lag, fairly better battery life than the S8 and S9 (which got stolen hence why I got the S8 which was a pain to use😭) my unit has a faulty type C port which I'm planning to get fixed but other than that I cannot complain this is a workhorse of a phone!! I am of the philosophy that an older flagship phone has better long term usage in mind than a new mid range phone because of that I've exclusively been buying old flagships. Might soon upgrade to the S21/ S21 Ultra to keep that streak going since 2020!!
These old Samsung flagships are just 🤌 Im a Note9 user and even after all these years its amazing,I hope you can make a video like this for the Note9,they aren't expensive,I got mine for around 120€
S10e user here. After almost 4 years of usage, the performance is still the same as day 1, the only downside is the battery, which from my experience it is still worse than my previous S7. It serves me well though in many aspects such as the camera and for playing some games. And well, I'm planning to switch to the S23 soon.
I'm still using the s10 since 2019 , the compact small factor, the stereo speakers , 2k resolution with HDR 10 support , headphone jack , micro sd this phone has it all Also the durability is pretty high that many people dont mention I droped my phone with a case many times and I never had any scratches and the camera is betters than midrange phones in 2023 and also the phone has night mode that the reviewer forgot to apply in the photo with the dog
No way you're actually touching up on this phone Josh!!!! I had the Samsung s10e and I got it around April 19th 2021 and then I had it until about almost a month ago. Over the two years of me having it I decided to throw it all the time and punch it and eventually the screen got black blobs on it. Then the battery was very bad and then it got very slow when I try to do anything on it. It was a good phone overall but I miss it and I'm going to get it fixed one day BTW I love the videos and keep up the good work
So I just purchased the s23 ultra coming from the s10. I went to camera mode and tried to switch my aperture... I could not. Anybody into photography knows how huge of an option that was. That is a pro feature on cellphones. The s10 had that on the main camera. 1.5 or 2.4 aperture, this was huge for me back then and wish my new phone had that.
I see no point in upgrading. My s10 olus can play all the new mobile games, still has a headphone jack and sd card slot The only thing i might exchange is the battery. But the phone itself could easily still last a couple of year's
My mother used to have the S10 up until recently when she got the s22 (it was cheaper than the S23). The battery didn't hold up anymore, so she had to upgrade it.
Try the night mode for regular use and it changes the camera drastically for the better. It's like a built-in gcam apk and in day light it out performs my Xs Max and is on par with my 12 Pro max.
Had this phone for nearly 5 years since it was released in 2019. The battery isn't amazing now but lasts me through the day depending on usage. Power saver with a blacked out home screen definitely helps. You can take some pretty decent pictures and the wide angle lens is a nice touch. Night photography is awful regardless of settings. I actually took the original screen protector off a few months back (yes it lasted that long) and someone asked me if it was a new phone. With a new case it looks pretty much brand new. Best phone I've ever had, real workhorse. Disappointed the headphone jack has been removed on newer models.
I had the s10+ and it was a really good phone. Had to upgrade to the s23u when it lauched earlier this year, because the battery life was awful after 3 years of heavy usage (yes, I bought it a year after release). I had to charge it like 3 times a day. 😅 It was also getting really slow and buggy. The software was best at android then 10. After that, it just got more and more bugs every update. The camera was great! I still use it as a secondary camera for some of my yt videos. The main problem with the camera for me was that it didnt always use the 2x lens for 2x photos. That caused some 2x photos to be very bad, because they were just cropped from the main camera. Luckily on newer samsung phones you can use the camera assistant app to cancel automatic lens switching.
leaving my s10 this year for a s23, i think the s10 its the best smartphone that i ever had, i love it everything about it beside the bixby button lets see if the s23 holds up
"What you have is what you get." "We aren't talking about customs roms" (because that would make the previous statement untrue). Custom roms should always factor in when you are buying an older flagship and to exclude them is disingenuous.
Still going strong 2024 with mine, I love the fact you still have 3.5 jack and a MicroSd slot. Can some smarter cookie than me, tell me why my portrait shot photos, IE outside or inside when sent to the Google library are all landscape IE switched around?
I plan to get one and flash it with an android 13 custom rom. Its less than 150 usd from where I'm from. I recently flashed my s9 and changed the battery... Its damn fast now with the most recent android and securtiy patch as well. Can't wait to get the s10
Just change the battery and this phone will run for 3-5yrs more, If you're not into heavy gaming and just for daily use, and also a excellent backup phone.
I have a Note 10 which I use as my Android phone of choice. It is very good even today despite being stuck on Android 12. Okay battery, great display, decent cameras and pretty decent performance. I don’t use it as my primary phone, but I still like it.
i did use an s10 for a while and during my time with it i found the photos it took to be really good in my opinion after i installed an original back glass and camera lens glass. and in the video which overall it rly good the phone does have a cheap replacement back panel which could be the reason to the picture quality but then again i could be wrong. keep up the good work
I still have the s8+ and love it but the port jack recently broke. The price to fix it is half the price of what this phone goes for. I'm thinking of getting this to replace it
i had the s8 plus to got a s10 plus today did you get the s10 plus for me the battery feels worse but maybe becuse i just got it so it might get better after
Picked up 3 s10e for 66$ each. Couldn't be happier. Completely mint, with cases, never opened, in the pretty light blue that was so hard to find! It's late 2023 and they run better than any mid range has for me thus far. Snapdragon 8 series has such staying power even years later
I use an s10+ exynos version and rarely ever fails. There is one problem however, which I'm pretty sure is due to damage over time. Every now and then, thee screen just doesn't want to turn on. It turns on for a split second, then turns off. This is normally fixed by either waiting for it to fix itself, or restart the thing the phone entirely. However, with the software, it is still fully usable for me. It isn't too outdated, (especially compared to my iPhone 6) and can still do most tasks easily in 2024. Overall, it is a perfect budget phone for simple, every day use.
What a gorgeous phone. The galaxy s3 (advanced style), s4 (flagship with amazing reparability), s5 (incredible feature set), s7 (beautiful construction), and s10 (packed with features and powerful soc) were all amazing products. The following are a list of features samsung no longer has on the standard s-line: Removable battery, headphone port, upgradable storage, 960fps slow-mo, infrared led, biometric sensors, 1440p display.
I don't know what to buy next bro. I love the curved edge to edge display on my s10. I like the s20 a little bit too but it has the green line issues so I m not going to buy the s20. I don't know what else to upgrade. I don't like the design of s21,s22,s23.

And also, I own an S10 myself. I got it for around $200 (PHP 10,000). And I can say, it still holds up exceptionally well, it takes great pictures, it performs quick enough (although lags alot and thermal throttles whenever I'm in somewhere very warm), and overall, for the price, it's a better alternative to other phones like the Samsung Galaxy A14 or the like. Although, I am planning to upgrade to a newer Samsung flagship or any other android flagship, but the S10 will always have a place in my heart.
2018-2019 truly is peak Samsung, and they would never reach that same level of progression ever again.
(EDIT: I just realized that it wasn't my idea that got approved, it was someone else's. But at least I got the video that I long awaited.)
I'm debating between getting this and the a24 and i know this is definitely better but besides the battery life do you think the S10 is still worth getting and runs good after 4 years?
@@Nicksantillanoat this point, I recommend that you should just get the A24, as the S10 is getting quite old and it is no longer supported. But, for the same price, you can get a used Samsung Galaxy S21.
@@anotheryuando_lol ok well thanks for the advice I'll consider it alot more now and also look into the s21 that you mentioned as well, but how about the normal a14 not the 5g except i heard alot of negative reviews about it so im not sure what your thoughts are of it is the a24 still better than a14, or should i just move on to looking at refurbished samsung phones which i can get for about the same price of new budget phones?
I have the S23 currently, and it's amazing, but my favorite all-time is still the Galaxy S7
That was a great phone too.
I had the S7 edge, great device.
I still have one 😂 refurbished even haha but now its slowly dying. Would you recommend s10+ now the security updates have stopped?
@@maritseverijnse1876U can always custom rom it
My S10+ unlocked since I'm overseas is working like new! No damage either.
I still using my Samsung S10 and it's still a great phone. Though it has smaller battery compared to the new models now a days.
My mom got an S10 Plus from my aunt from abroad, gotta say it still looks ahead of its time despite being four years old.
Currently using the S10 on OneUI 5.1. Best phone I ever used, and yes, I did try out the S23U.
I was literally looking for something to watch, thank you 🎉
The S10 is still tied with the LG V30 for my favorite smartphone of all time. It is the only phone that meets all of my criteria for the perfect smartphone: 6.1" or smaller screen, premium triple cameras, headphone jack, SD slot, and respectable battery life. My only nitpick was the curved display. If mine didn't meet a premature death and I didn't fall for one of Samsung's great trade in promos for broken screen devices, I'd still be wringing the last bit of life out of it today just to keep the headphone jack and SD slot.
Still works well! The front camera is kinda bad though.
There's one particular S10 model that can still be updated to Android 13, Galaxy S10 Lite. No headphone jack but still have a microSD slot.
S10 lite has nothing to do with S10 series.
wich better samsung s10 or pixel 4xl?
I still remember when these phones were brand new! I was sold on the s10 plus and the s10e.
i have a 7 yrold oppo A83 phones this thing has been tanking every sh*t i give, and its still working to this day, but i think its time to buy a new phone im researching everything I can to make sure i'll get the best out of my buck, thx for showing me this
Still using my s10, no problems what's so ever. Im not sure when im gonna get a new phone.
got the Galaxy S10+ as tab upgrade from my carrier. Love it for MicroSD, 3.5 Head Phone jack
Here's my opinion,
If you are looking for a second phone or a temporary phone then s10 is really good. but for a primary phone the battery life is quite bad. around 4 hours - 5 hours is the maximum. For heavy users either get the s10+ or something newer like the s21(around $250).
But if you don't care about battery s10 is the best for you it has everything except good battery life.
Where can you get s21 for 250?
I had an S 10 for almost 2 years before it unfortunately got stolen and replaced. This phone is probably my favorite phone I’ve had it’s not a close second. I miss it dearly. I would probably still be using it right now if that didn’t happen,.
God if you get an old used one off eBay I can’t imagine how much the battery would have degraded. I prefer my devices to half 1.5-2 day battery life and I feel like a used one of these would have only a few hours of battery.
Every time i see that phone i feel POWER!
there is a micro-SD slot on this phone what are you talking about
I have a s9 that had the notification LED on left side of the screen. It also informed me when it was charging. My sweet wife handed me a pre-used s10 and found out it doesn't have the notification light. It does have something called a edge light but that's not any good. When you get a message, it blinks only once and that's it while the s9 light would blink forever until you answer the message. What's up with that?😮
There are 2 big reasons why I love my S10: (1) 512GB memory card slot, (2) excellent size and light-weight. The only problem is the battery; after 5 years of use, I need to keep it fully-charged within 24 hours. The camera works even better than S23FE which goes out of focus all the time. Note: I made a mistake of buying a S23FE and I am still using S10 as main phone instead of S23FE.
Watching on my s10e
Good video. Just to mention one spec. At 4:57 you mention there is no micro sd card slot. The S10 and S10 Plus both have the ability to add a micro sd card. I still own both. They have a sim card tray that holds both the sim card and the micro sd card.
Currently daily driving this phone. Got it for a steal and this is an amazing long term phone. No lag, fairly better battery life than the S8 and S9 (which got stolen hence why I got the S8 which was a pain to use😭) my unit has a faulty type C port which I'm planning to get fixed but other than that I cannot complain this is a workhorse of a phone!!
I am of the philosophy that an older flagship phone has better long term usage in mind than a new mid range phone because of that I've exclusively been buying old flagships. Might soon upgrade to the S21/ S21 Ultra to keep that streak going since 2020!!
s21's are not that good might as well wait a bit and get the s23
We'll see depends on my budget but the S21 ultra is no joke it's aged very well @@nischalb5479
I just upgraded my s10 to a s23 and it does not feel that big of a jump
These old Samsung flagships are just 🤌
Im a Note9 user and even after all these years its amazing,I hope you can make a video like this for the Note9,they aren't expensive,I got mine for around 120€
S10e user here. After almost 4 years of usage, the performance is still the same as day 1, the only downside is the battery, which from my experience it is still worse than my previous S7. It serves me well though in many aspects such as the camera and for playing some games.
And well, I'm planning to switch to the S23 soon.
I'm planning to get an s10/s10e. How long does your battery typically last? Is it enough for half a day at least?
I have s10+ but the battery life has deteriorated. If you are going to buy s10 series go for the snapdragon version as compared to exynos
I'm still using the s10 since 2019 , the compact small factor, the stereo speakers , 2k resolution with HDR 10 support , headphone jack , micro sd this phone has it all Also the durability is pretty high that many people dont mention I droped my phone with a case many times and I never had any scratches and the camera is betters than midrange phones in 2023 and also the phone has night mode that the reviewer forgot to apply in the photo with the dog
You can probably use Android 7 if you only care about app support, or even Android 5 if you only want to use basic social media
I bought an S10 very recently for 36€ that works with a cracked screen
Do you have the same opinion about the Note 10/10 Plus?
No way you're actually touching up on this phone Josh!!!!
I had the Samsung s10e and I got it around April 19th 2021 and then I had it until about almost a month ago. Over the two years of me having it I decided to throw it all the time and punch it and eventually the screen got black blobs on it. Then the battery was very bad and then it got very slow when I try to do anything on it. It was a good phone overall but I miss it and I'm going to get it fixed one day
BTW I love the videos and keep up the good work
Once a flagship, always a flagship ✌️
So I just purchased the s23 ultra coming from the s10. I went to camera mode and tried to switch my aperture... I could not. Anybody into photography knows how huge of an option that was. That is a pro feature on cellphones. The s10 had that on the main camera. 1.5 or 2.4 aperture, this was huge for me back then and wish my new phone had that.
The s10 will be my favorite overall phone, and the longest phone I ever had. It also got me through the pandemic. I'll always cherish that phone.
I see no point in upgrading.
My s10 olus can play all the new mobile games, still has a headphone jack and sd card slot
The only thing i might exchange is the battery. But the phone itself could easily still last a couple of year's
S8 was the one samsung blew me away.
My mother used to have the S10 up until recently when she got the s22 (it was cheaper than the S23). The battery didn't hold up anymore, so she had to upgrade it.
Apart from the battery this phone is better than a midrange in 2023
I’m getting the galaxy s10 on Friday for my 16 birthday 😊
I’ll also get it soon, so luvky u are! I love S10!! No interest in these boring “new” iPhones copy flagships of samsung
@@sohamchivukulae6235 yep. I love my s10.its the best Samsung phone i have ever had
@@sohamchivukulae6235 you can let me know when you get it
The s10 does have a microsd slot
I had an iPhone and went back to Samsung. The note 10 plus, but I wanted a smaller phone so I got the s10e. And love it
I still be using my s10+ if I didn't drop it and crack the screen last year. Upgraded to the Pixel 7 and loving it but I miss the s10+
Try the night mode for regular use and it changes the camera drastically for the better. It's like a built-in gcam apk and in day light it out performs my Xs Max and is on par with my 12 Pro max.
I plan to buy it🙂
I should of got this in Christmas 2019 or the note 10 plus cus my note 8 stopped working cus of screen burn in
Great video as always Josh!
thank you mr moderator sir
Had this phone for nearly 5 years since it was released in 2019. The battery isn't amazing now but lasts me through the day depending on usage. Power saver with a blacked out home screen definitely helps. You can take some pretty decent pictures and the wide angle lens is a nice touch. Night photography is awful regardless of settings. I actually took the original screen protector off a few months back (yes it lasted that long) and someone asked me if it was a new phone. With a new case it looks pretty much brand new. Best phone I've ever had, real workhorse. Disappointed the headphone jack has been removed on newer models.

I just bought the Samsung S10-5G for $200 American and it’s one of the best phones I’ve ever used.
I had the s10+ and it was a really good phone. Had to upgrade to the s23u when it lauched earlier this year, because the battery life was awful after 3 years of heavy usage (yes, I bought it a year after release). I had to charge it like 3 times a day. 😅
It was also getting really slow and buggy. The software was best at android then 10. After that, it just got more and more bugs every update.
The camera was great! I still use it as a secondary camera for some of my yt videos. The main problem with the camera for me was that it didnt always use the 2x lens for 2x photos. That caused some 2x photos to be very bad, because they were just cropped from the main camera. Luckily on newer samsung phones you can use the camera assistant app to cancel automatic lens switching.
The best thing that the plus offers is the dual front selife camera which in my opening is better than note 10 camera
Thank you for your time in researching and putting this all together; your video led me to my choice.
Thank you! :)
leaving my s10 this year for a s23, i think the s10 its the best smartphone that i ever had, i love it everything about it beside the bixby button lets see if the s23 holds up
I want to ask how the battery life was in the s10 bcz my budget is low and i wanna buy it 🥲
@@not.ziad1 its not the biggest battery but its was okay, probably 1 extra charge per day
"What you have is what you get." "We aren't talking about customs roms" (because that would make the previous statement untrue).
Custom roms should always factor in when you are buying an older flagship and to exclude them is disingenuous.
“ Not going to set the world on fire because it’s not the note 7” 🤣🤣🤣
Still going strong 2024 with mine, I love the fact you still have 3.5 jack and a MicroSd slot. Can some smarter cookie than me, tell me why my portrait shot photos, IE outside or inside when sent to the Google library are all landscape IE switched around?
S22 vs iphone 11 pro please
I plan to get one and flash it with an android 13 custom rom. Its less than 150 usd from where I'm from. I recently flashed my s9 and changed the battery... Its damn fast now with the most recent android and securtiy patch as well. Can't wait to get the s10
Samsung galaxy s10e was a true flagship it wasn't even close to being budget
S10e was too good, definitely companies need to make small phones
Just change the battery and this phone will run for 3-5yrs more, If you're not into heavy gaming and just for daily use, and also a excellent backup phone.
How long the new battery last? Curious.
Where can you change the battery?
I have a Note 10 which I use as my Android phone of choice. It is very good even today despite being stuck on Android 12. Okay battery, great display, decent cameras and pretty decent performance. I don’t use it as my primary phone, but I still like it.
I wish they release one ui 5 update for note 10 series but only the note 10 lite receives one ui 5 update.
i did use an s10 for a while and during my time with it i found the photos it took to be really good in my opinion after i installed an original back glass and camera lens glass. and in the video which overall it rly good the phone does have a cheap replacement back panel which could be the reason to the picture quality but then again i could be wrong. keep up the good work
I like how this generation of people think 3 or 4 years ago was SOOOOOO long ago lol
I still have mine and works greatly 😌
Watching on my S10 plus and she still a beast especially when it come to gaming, I have got a few updates and some new features as well
I still have the s8+ and love it but the port jack recently broke. The price to fix it is half the price of what this phone goes for. I'm thinking of getting this to replace it
i had the s8 plus to got a s10 plus today did you get the s10 plus for me the battery feels worse but maybe becuse i just got it so it might get better after
The screen, camera, design, size better than my samsung s21 plus 😭 i want to back to s10
100€, good screen, good camera, HEADPHONE JACK, it's just perfect
Picked up 3 s10e for 66$ each. Couldn't be happier. Completely mint, with cases, never opened, in the pretty light blue that was so hard to find! It's late 2023 and they run better than any mid range has for me thus far. Snapdragon 8 series has such staying power even years later
Can you tell me from where please

I use an s10+ exynos version and rarely ever fails. There is one problem however, which I'm pretty sure is due to damage over time. Every now and then, thee screen just doesn't want to turn on. It turns on for a split second, then turns off. This is normally fixed by either waiting for it to fix itself, or restart the thing the phone entirely. However, with the software, it is still fully usable for me. It isn't too outdated, (especially compared to my iPhone 6) and can still do most tasks easily in 2024. Overall, it is a perfect budget phone for simple, every day use.
What a gorgeous phone. The galaxy s3 (advanced style), s4 (flagship with amazing reparability), s5 (incredible feature set), s7 (beautiful construction), and s10 (packed with features and powerful soc) were all amazing products. The following are a list of features samsung no longer has on the standard s-line: Removable battery, headphone port, upgradable storage, 960fps slow-mo, infrared led, biometric sensors, 1440p display.
I don't know what to buy next bro. I love the curved edge to edge display on my s10. I like the s20 a little bit too but it has the green line issues so I m not going to buy the s20. I don't know what else to upgrade. I don't like the design of s21,s22,s23.
Use s10 and wait for s24
