Samsung Galaxy S10 + 8 / 128GB

Advantages: Like many people liked the screen, cameras, performance.

Disadvantages: Conventionally, as a disadvantage, I can call the location of the volume rocker on the left. But I'm already used to it. Sometimes the bluetooth falls off when the smartphone is connected to the head unit of the car. But this has happened with other smartphones, in particular with the iPhone.

Comment: I bought it for a promotion on March 8 in one of the online stores, I will not write the name here, so as not to be mistaken for advertising. As a result, the smartphone cost 69291 rubles and plus one more ruble for the bluetooth Galaxy Buds headphones, which I received a week after the smartphone. The smartphone is great! I put it in a proprietary LED flip case. I updated the software and go ahead to study its capabilities. I'll make a reservation right away that I'm not a gamer. Therefore, I use it for other purposes: for communication, Internet surfing, photos, videos, listening to music on the road. He satisfies my needs with interest. The speaker volume and sound quality are fine with me. There are difficulties with the settings menu, but this is out of habit, since I switched from a smartphone from another manufacturer. To quickly recognize fingerprints in the settings, I turned on sensitivity enhancement. The scanner works very well. For almost a month of use, I did not recognize the fingerprint from the first time only three times. Face recognition also works in the dark, if you enable the function of short-term enhancement of the screen backlight in the settings when unlocking the smartphone. Bixby assigned the button to turn on one of the applications I regularly use. Since I use a flip case, there are no problems with accidentally turning on the screen, there are no scratches on the screen or on the back panel.Photos for a smartphone perfectly. When the photo is enlarged, it begins to disintegrate into pixels only at the maximum magnification. In this case, you can still make out what is in the photo. The Internet loads quickly, even text, even video. I also work with applications in my profession, there are no problems with them. The battery lasts from 100% charge to 0 for almost 36 hours. In any case, this is just a complex technical device. Some people like it, some don't. Let's see what happens next, because there is no chapel to perfection.

Advantages: The screen is simply gorgeous, there are no comments here. Speaker sound is quite loud without distortion at maximum. Surround stereo sound, you are not ashamed to include music or video, immersive effect. The battery life is good. With 2 hours of games, such as asphalt9 (voracious), music (about 3 hours), calls, WhatsApp, navigation, and so on, the phone lives a day confidently. The need for a powerbank has not yet arisen. The camera shoots well, especially the wide-angle lens. Shooting modes - "live focus" copes well with portrait photography, beautiful software bokeh. The factory film on the screen is not noticeable at all, it is a good oleophobic film, it did not climb up and did not come off in a month. A 3.5mm jack for a minijack, although with the gift of wireless headphones there is no need for it yet. Optimized for comfortable one-handed operation. Face unlock, very convenient function. Works even in complete darkness, from screen light. I couldn't unlock it from photos and videos. In my daily life, I now use only this method of unblocking. Memory capacity of 128GB, covers all my needs with interest. Appearance, tactile comfort, build quality. High-speed performance. Ip68.

Disadvantages: Price. No event LED. After s7, he is sorely lacking. Quite slippery without a cover. The ultrasonic sensor under glass is significantly inferior in speed to the optical one. Sometimes it is difficult to get into the field of application the first time. When paying for NFC, the terminal refused to read the phone a couple of times, the entire terminal had to be flushed out, it worked only in the cash register zone.

Comment: Moved from Galaxy S7. The "WOW !!" effect still present, albeit faded. Ten is better in everything, although the seven did not suit me much, I just wanted more changes and more memory and work time, in general, all that I got in the top ten. The smartphone leaves the impression of an uncompromising device in which everything is as it should be. You can find fault with everything, nothing is perfect. This smartphone does not have any such significant shortcomings or features due to which one could regret the purchase.

Advantages: Rating: 4 out of 5 (taking into account the cost, all the pros / cons of this device and the devices of competitors) - a cool curved frameless "leaky" AMOLED-screen. The holes from the cameras do not bother me personally (this is not an iPhone with a giant monobrow). In addition, the holes of the cameras are "beaten" by the iridescent indication during face recognition, as well as a bunch of wallpapers for the desktop :) - the presence of a 3.5mm audio jack, good AKG headphones included - stereo speakers with sufficient volume, although there is not enough bass - capacious 4100 mAh battery. It keeps more than a day at 7-8 hours of the screen, while all synchronization and wireless interfaces are constantly on, I prefer the system and applications interface in bright colors (which is unfavorable for AMOLED), and my Samsung LED View case is powered by wireless reverse charging. Cover - the presence of an additional Bixby button (which can be reassigned) - performance. I did not notice any lags or something like that in 3 weeks. I don't play games. - fast face recognition. Opened the cover of the case, within a second and you are already on the desktop.- two SIM cards, no communication problems (MST with the Internet and Beeline purely voice, Moscow and the region). - fast WiFi - cool thing DEX - turns smart into a netbook, works fast.

Disadvantages: - a little expensive compared to similar Chinese devices. - brooding fingerprint scanner. All updates are installed, the standard protective film has been peeled off, but the scanner still works for a long time and not the first time. Apparently because of the very dry skin and because of the size of the scanner itself - the version on Exynos is slightly slower than the version on Snapdragon - in the Tiguan 2 car with the Discover Pro GU, for some reason, the numbers of synchronized contacts are not determined when a call comes in - the power button is too high - no notification indicator - no screen light up on incoming WhatsApp calls

Comment: 1) The wave of hype about unlocking the screen in the face and deceiving it with a photograph is not clear. It also says in black and white that this type of unlocking is considered unsafe and the screen can be unlocked with a photo or a similar person! But no! Every nedoblogger is simply obliged to record a vidosik under the heading "Urgent to the room !!!" In addition, the entrance to the applications is still by fingerprint, and unlocking the screen by face works very quickly. When the quick recognition is disabled, it won't let me through the photo. 2) The screen, although it is better than all the amoles that I have seen, but the white color on the IPS is still better. In addition, when changing the viewing angle, there are small pink overflows, this is noticeable only in white 3) I did not have any false alarms on the side edges without a cover, and even more so with the Samsung LED View Cover. The case also eliminates a couple of shortcomings: - a high-positioned power button: if you have this case, there is no need for it - no notification indicator: you can configure the display of notifications on the case itself. 4) The Bixby button was reassigned through the bxActions app. Now a long press turns on / off the flashlight, and a short press switches the modes "With sound" / "Vibration" / "Without sound and vibration" 5) For ease of operation with one hand, I installed the Samsung application "One Hand Operation +". Now all the control of gestures, customized for yourself. If you get used to it, it's incredibly convenient! 6) Call recording works through the ACR application. But you need to install it from the Galaxy Store, and not from the Play Store. 7) The bundled AKG headphones are not bad ... when I listened to them in OnePlus 3. However, when listening in the S10 +, I did not like the too sharp high frequencies, my head began to hurt. Instead of regular headphones, I bought HUAWEI ANC3 headphones connected via USB Type-C, with them the sound is excellent, in addition, there is active noise cancellation and all functions are supported on the S10 + (read my review about them). 8) The camera / s seem to be good, but I'm not special in this and for me they are not in the first place.

Advantages: Great phone. Gorgeous photos, professional. Performance is off the charts - supports any application and game. There are all the necessary functions, and if something is missing, you can install it from the Play Market. A phone that has everything. Simplicity of functionality, sleek design and powerful filling leave a pleasant impression.

Disadvantages: A little more expensive than the psychological threshold. In a year, the price will be available to everyone.

Comment:

Advantages: In order not to write about the obvious (compared to the S8 +): 1. The stereo sound, which I personally have been waiting for - direct fire. The inclusion of DolbyAtmos makes it even more spacious. Bass, of course, no. 2. The sound from the phone's loudspeakers is generally indecently loud. The earpiece speaker can also yell bless you. 3. The manufacturer has glued a protective film on the screen, it is very thin, fits on the top and bottom edges, has holes for a jack, a slot for sim + microSD. 4. Branded covers are very sensible and pleasant. All. 5. Camera: - recording in 4K HDR - yes.As an owner of an LG OLED TV, I'm incredibly happy; - video stabilizer - fire, much better than on the S8 +; - in the "Photo" mode, the camera is able to recognize the text arrays in the frame itself and accurately photograph and "straighten" them. That is, you photograph a page at an angle - you get a sheet, shot from the front, with equal brightness. Very cool. - RAW files can be loaded directly into VSCO. At least in the special version of VSCO for Samsung. 6. Poweramp sees the Samsung UHQA PCM hardware sound chip and works fine with it. 7. Adhell ​​works normally through regular Knox, without root. 8. OneUI is excellent, I personally got off the Nova Launcher. 9. Overall, the S10 is much faster than the S8 +. Not by tests, but in real life.

Disadvantages: 1. Face recognition. As lightning fast as it is, it is equally insecure. 2. Camera: - you cannot explicitly select the resolution of pictures, it is not indicated anywhere at all; - you cannot put an icon on the desktop to launch the camera in a specific mode; - RAW - only for the main (medium focus) camera; - in Pro mode, only the main camera is used. You cannot forcibly switch to wide-angle or telephoto lenses. - In Photo mode, the separate telephoto camera is automatically used only when there is sufficient lighting. Adequate lighting is determined by means of a mid-focus camera. If there is less light than necessary, the digital zoom is simply turned on from the mid-focus camera. In short, you cannot forcibly turn on the telephoto camera. 3. The ultrasonic finger scanner works frankly slower compared to the S8 +.

Comment: If you have money, you can safely take it.

Advantages: 1. Size 2. Protective film out of the box 3. All the goodies of the Android system 4. Battery life 5. Operation speed 6. Wide angle

Disadvantages: For me personally, a huge drawback is the castration of the capabilities of the wide-angle camera and telephoto. Why none of the reviewers talk about the fact that you can't shoot 60 fps as well as slowmo on these cameras, why, in principle, it was necessary to do such a limitation with such hardware, okay there is no autofocus at a width, it is not much needed there, but it .... IT'S JUST FIASCO, BROTHER.

Comment:

Advantages: Better and better, fits perfectly in the hand, great screen, great ergonomics, great cameras, powerful today ...

Disadvantages: 1. I personally do not like the built-in cameras in the screen, they interfere with viewing (you get used to it over time, of course) but if you make a frame, then there is no sense in enlarging the screen. 2. The bixi button just got me on the previous models and here it is also there. Not critical but got it.

Comment: In general, an excellent smart with all the necessary and unnecessary programs) Before that there was S8 + There are no particular changes in the quality of the screen (except for the fact that there is more of it on the surface) The camera is just cool and the video captures very well. It's up to everyone to decide but the device is worthy. Good luck everyone!

Advantages: a huge screen of excellent quality, the battery per day sits by half at 4 hours of screen act per day, producing behind the eyes, no lags were noted at all, the imprint under the screen is convenient, 3 cameras - I use everything, especially with the presence of a wide screen, the sound is very good. Jack 3.5, not a music lover, but even so it is convenient when you can stick any ears, waterproof ip68 after s7 realized that it was very convenient.

Disadvantages: rather nitpicking - a little too big, they could make it shorter, you need to get used to the scanner ot a little, you need to press and hold your finger a little more tightly and hold it a little longer and entered the main finger 2 times to achieve 99% correct operation, the hole in the screen is too big, it would be quite possible for one camera enough, shirik without autofocus rather for shooting at a distance of up to 3 m

Comment: I took the s7 edge to replace, the screen is certainly impressive in size, I did not find any minuses, but I expected a little more: even 3 years have passed but the revolution is not noticeable, everything is a little better but not dramatically, the main camera has not advanced much, but now there are 3 of them, and all 3 are useful, autonomy is better but does not fully pull for 2 days, I got used to a hole in the screen, in games and videos I turn it to the lower right corner and it is not noticeable, but still I would like to be smaller, it is not clear why there were 2 cameras stuck there, I took it gray - I had to tinker with sams pay - I installed the firmware, I earned it (I didn't want to overpay 20k)

Advantages: Well, here in order, I will compare with the S8 + which I owned for almost 15 months. The device was purchased on March 1. 1.display, not to say that super differences, but very noticeable, cannot be explained in two words. Integration of the front camera for 5+ 2. sound, yes the owners of S8 + forgive me there is an external speaker a rare guano, especially one was, it is quite worthy here 2 dynamics is power, melodies and messages are screaming so I had to remove it by a third. 3. cameras are a separate conversation, for 5+, especially the front camera, very noticeable differences. The pictures are excellent, even the auto mode works with a bang. Although if we compare it with the previous device 4+, which is a very excellent result, the same, but the ease of control is now much higher. 4. The battery is 40-45% stable by the evening, under the condition of sufficiently intensive use. 5. does not slow down, unfortunately the old model is more and more infuriating with incomprehensible dependencies, and not only for me (there are 2 bodies 8 in the family), as I understand the Samsung puts some obsolescence of the model in the firmware. 6. there is a factory sticker film, yes, yes, at first I did not understand the same, I thought a glitch, but I did not have enough enthusiasm to pick a new smart, the store confirmed it and even showed it off from the test sample, a trifle, but nice. Although it is already covered with kotsk, but with protective glasses, I understand so far the trouble, because of the sensor built into the screen, it's better this way. 7. All games fly, memory is scored taking into account the transfer of the old device, only 50GB, there is still a lot of space. 8. Because I was playing with pre-order, I got wireless ears. 9. rich equipment. 10. Reverse wireless charging function, you can safely charge your ears and watch. 11. work of all lotions for 5, bluetooth, NFC, waffles in both bands, stable work in 4G. 12. support for 2 SIM cards of 2 vibers at the same time.

Disadvantages: 1. very, very slippery, immediately bought a cover. 2. incomprehensible baida with native charging, it charges 4 hours, the previous one from the Samsung in 1.5 hours. 3. The fingerprint sensor is stupid, I'm afraid to even think about what will happen with the protective glass. 4. Once there was a screen for reinstalling the system, and the body was lying and suddenly decided to go into this mode itself. It was cured by restarting the system. 5.headphones as a gift for a solid 3, both in sound and in convenience, without the application of almost slag, in order to achieve bass, you need to twist in your ears, achieving a certain position, moreover, to make them work normally with the body, I had to handle in support of the Samsung, so that in the wilds of the menu the power consumption settings are turned off, so that they work in the screen lock mode, although the clock and other blue gadgets worked without problems. But the controls are a separate story altogether. The sound, in comparison with the SONY WI300, is nothing about (not advertising). No, they are not worth their money. Native complete ones are an order of magnitude higher.

Comment: My opinion is the device is very worthy, although if you do not drive for example on cameras (competitors also have excellent copies) and a screen, then in principle for a third less price there are many decent smartphones, while choosing a lot of things, the Samsung took it blind, and principle did not regret. Show off ;)

Advantages: Screen, on-screen scanner, camera, body color, stock wallpaper. 1.5 months later - I liked it in terms of software (Bixby scripts) and reverse charging (for headphones and watches) is just a top.

Disadvantages: Probably the fact that the hybrid retina and face scanner was removed. 1.5 months later - the speck got under the factory film, I don’t know how, and now I’m thinking whether to peel it off or not. While I'm holding on. Gift Galaxy Buds began to dull when playing music, they officially answered that it was necessary to reconnect them.

Comment: It's hard to say something in a couple of days, but the wow effect worked. The memory of both RAM and ROM is enough for the eyes. In general, the device is very good and solid in terms of software and appearance. And the cost, well, that's a separate topic. 1.5 months later - the device itself is good, but if you compare it with laptop 9, then the second one seems more reliable or something.
