GUYS! The Samsung Galaxy S 10 plus is here and Samsung South Africa were kind
enough to let me take a look and damn I'm excited
in this video I'm going to go through everything you need to know about the
s10 plus and also stay until the end because that is where I will share the
worst feature so guys, let's get into it!
So first up let's take a quick look at what you get in the box
Samsung as you can see stuck true to form but what I really appreciate is that as
of this year their products are packaged with environmentally sustainable
materials so you'll no longer see plastic trays of plastic wrapping
instead they use pulp moulds and casings which is awesome so of course you get
your charging brick then a USBC cable, a little bit short but it's all good and
ejection pin, a pair of AKG headphones which are white, and here are the extra
bud sizes, a little micro USB to USB C connector, a silicone case which not
everyone seems to get which is odd, a QuickStart guide, of course the beautiful
s10 plus and then again all packaged in their new eco-friendly box.On to the
look and feel and Samsung undoubtedly created a beauty, but still get things
standard such as the power button volume rocker and Bixby Button
however the fingerprint sensor has changed but we'll get to that a little
bit later then here you can see the cutouts in all its glory
and to be honest it doesn't really bug me, notches also never bugged me before
You also still have the standard mic placements and all the rest but the
finish around the edge is really beautiful and depending on what device
color you choose the frame actually changes slightly so
here I have the prism white S10 plus but like I said if you choose another
color like one of these the edging will change slightly as well which is really
nice when it comes to display Samsung speaks for itself it's just as epic as
you'd imagine guys and has everything you could possibly want in a display
they also managed to reduce the harmful blue light by a whopping 42 percent
which is crazy I have no idea how they do that but theoretically it should be
less training on the eyes and help with getting a better sleep you can also hide
the cut out on the display if you want just as you see here. Guys remember
what's epic about the s10 plus is the punch hole display
so although the size hasn't changed that much it'll feel much bigger because
there is a lot more screen space just so you guys can get a feel for the size the
s10 plus is roughly one hundred and fifty seven point six millimeters long
and seventy four point one millimeters wide it's actually thinner than the s9 +
and weighs 175 grams and then here is the s9 + alongside it as you can see
very similar in size but a lot more screen space on the s10 plus the s10
plus has five beautiful cameras and in the front is the 10 megapixel selfie
camera and 8 megapixel depth camera and then on the back we've got the big boys
so we've got the 12 megapixel telephoto, 12 megapixel wide-angle and
16 megapixel ultra wide so as you can imagine with all these cameras there are
so many different modes and styles of pictures you can take
it's a lot to get through in one video but here are picks I took using the s10 plus
here's the telephoto, wide-angle and ultra wide but the person stayed in the
exact same place for the shots then here are some selfies it seems to get
confused with my striped shirt but anyway also in the ultra wide panoramic
mode I mean guys this is so insane to me and I love this feature a
lot there's also still the food mode which I thoroughly enjoy and then they
kept super slow-mo as well which I really appreciate and you can get so
many epic videos with this mode guys I cannot even tell you how much fun it was
creating these so you can really think out the box when it comes to the various
modes in features and then here is also some hyperlapse footage I took with the
s10 plus and none of these colors have been edited this is straight off of the
device as you would imagine the s10+ comes pre-installed with Android pie and
also Samsung's brand new One UI which I did a video on you can check it down in
the description box or maybe the cards but let's take a closer look so as I
just mentioned the operating system and interface is all there and you can do some
amazing things guys like the night mode for example this is a lot softer on your
eyes and is of course included on the s10 plus you also still get the edge
screen notifications and you can customize that a little further and
really make it your own which is awesome you can of course also still do
split-screen application so for anyone who maybe doesn't know you can split the
screen so you've got one app running at the top and another app running at the
bottom just as you see here and it is super super useful you can also do
pop-up windows move the window any way around on the screen so, a lot of
these functions are still there which is fantastic then the edge screen menu is
still there and still as convenient as ever it also got a slight little upgrade
and then the bixby button, guys, can be rerouted oh my goodness this was
very exciting for me if I'm honest
the battery now man oh man guys in my personal and humble opinion is possibly
of the biggest improvement so the s10 plus has a four thousand one hundred
mAh battery and in comparison to the galaxy s 9 and pixel 3 XL you can
see here it is pretty much miles ahead in my opinion it still comes with the
standard USB C charging port and of course supports a wireless charging and fast
charging which is lovely another epic part of the battery is a wireless power
share guys say you toggle this feature on we put your s10 plus down and then
you can charge another device or accessory on the back of the phone of
course it must be compatible but oh my goodness
so the SIM card an SD card slot has stayed much the same and again just
gives you options which I really appreciate
so if you want you can choose to have one SIM card and one SD card and that
external sd card can support up to 512 gigs however you can opt to get rid of
the SD card and have a secondary SIM which is epic and it's possibly more
viable to some people because you can choose up to 512 gigs of on-board
storage
so as mentioned earlier in the video the fingerprint sensor has moved from the
back of the phone to the front and is now under the display it's so insane
so they use ultrasonic technology for this and long story short it is a lot
safer and takes a 3d scan of your fingerprints as opposed to a 2d scan it
also comes with two speakers on the device and just creates the most amazing
audio experience in my opinion I love this and they kept the old Jack I don't
know how long this is gonna stick around for but I'm so glad they kept the AUX
Jack if I'm honest and then it is also IP68 certified so water-resistant and
basically you can stress this about your device getting wet finally for what I
personally think is the worst feature although there are so many things to be
chuffed about and that are awesome on this phone this is something I've always
liked to include and something that maybe you guys should know before
purchasing okay as mentioned it's super hard to find anything wrong with this
device it's near perfect however I really do miss the way "recents" to work
and how some minor changes have taken place
so within PIE and within Oreo this is how the recents menu generally looks but
with Oreo you used to be able to toggle this menu to a list view, just as
you see here and I found this so much more convenient to toggle between recent
applications but now within PIE this is how things looked and you cannot change
that go into split screen is also a lot more tedious and yes I know I know
this really is insignificant in the grand scheme of things but a lot of you
guys and others mentioned how much you miss things prior to One UI, and
that is it guys I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did don't
forget to like and subscribe you can also check out my other Samsung videos a
