Galaxy S10+ display

The display is again - hands down - the most phenomenal display that I have ever seen. And, this is HDR10+ compliant, so the quality of this is something you would have never experienced on any smartphone - it can basically support and playback HDR10+ content. The color accuracy on this thing is supposed to be mind blowing and the screen is crazy bright - 14% brighter than the S9.

It’s got a 6.4 inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a QHD+ resolution and extremely pixel density. The screen is sharp, colorful, vivid, crazy punchy and just stunning to look at.

Also - it’s got Gorilla Glass 6 protection on the top - so definitely the toughest glass there is on smartphone right now.


Galaxy S10+ camera

The S10+ has a penta camera system. 3 cameras at the back and 2 in the front.

The three cameras at the are:

Primary 12 MP dual pixel dual aperture lens for low light photos
Secondary lens for 2x optical zoom and getting beautiful bokeh shots
Tertiary 16 MP ultra wide lens with 123 degree field of view for extremely wide shots and capturing more in a frame

The two cameras in the front:
10 MP dual pixel lens with auto focus and capability to shoot 4K (UHD) videos
Depth sensor

The cameras are obviously top notch and that’s just as per expectations. The Galaxy S line up of smartphones has always been about the best of everything and the cameras are no exception. The lenses are actually the same as used in the Galaxy Note 9, however, there are more software capabilities within the camera system that makes the S10 cameras the best up until now.

Now, of course there are a bunch of new features that the S10 plus has.
But we are going to have to spend some time and see how those all play out before I talk to you about it.

But first impressions - gorgeous phone. It looks phenomenal and holding this in your hand - you can tell that this is something really different.
