hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and the Galaxy S10 Plus finally arrived
this comes in at 999 dollars for the version that I picked up it's the 128
gigabyte version in prism white so let's go ahead and open it up here and see
what we've got now this was really loose in the box the
top felt like it was going to fall off and you'll see we have some
documentation under here see if I can get it there we go and we've got a SIM
card removal tool and then some documentation says that it has a
pre-installed screen protector so that's nice since it doesn't supposedly work
with glass screen protectors and it's just some information so let's set this
aside and take a look at what's in the box now I also did get a free pair of
pixel buds with it as well so I have those we'll take a look at those a
little bit later and as you can see here's the phone so let's lift it out
here and you'll see it's got that nice white back that's really reflective it
looks pretty good and then in the Box we have our adapter we have our adapter to
help us switch to a different device it's USB C 2 USB a we've got some
headphones here see what this is here this is probably our charge cable it
doesn't want to come out yeah there we go there is our USB C charge cable it's
a USB a 2 USB C there we go it's kind of stubborn but you get the idea and a
keyed AKG headphones with a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack since this
device has on so let's set this aside and we'll take a closer look at the
phone now the phone itself this looks really nice I was able to see one in a
local Best Buy here recently but that's it
now I really like this back and it comes in different colors as you can see this
is prism white it comes in prism black prism green prism blue flamingo pink
ceramic black and ceramic white and I also got I almost got the ceramic but
I'm glad I didn't it really was a two hundred and fifty dollars more you did
get more storage but this has 128 gigabytes plus expandable storage let's
take a look at the front you can see there is that screen protector that's
installed I'll probably just leave that since that's really nice and it's hard
to tell it's even there so let's take a look at the outside of this and as you
can see we have our Bigsby button here our volume rocker on the top we have our
SIM card tray little microphone and this is all high polished aluminum in fact
there's probably a piece of plastic I need to take off of this that's
protecting it up I can feel it here you'll see it's wrapped around the whole
phone and on this side we have our power sleep/wake button on the bottom we
retain that headphone jack USB see a microphone and a speaker and that's
really nice in this very compact size let me show you a quick size comparison
so here is the galaxy s 8 plus so for a size comparison it's pretty much the
same size it's a little bit wider than an s 8 plus but the same height pretty
much maybe a little bit shorter feels about the same weight and for those of
you that have iPhones here's a comparison as well this is a XS Max so
it's a little bit narrower it's about the exact same height same thickness
pretty much only we don't have as much of a pronounced camera bump like we do
on the iPhones so it's really nice overall feels great in the hand of
course most people are going to use this with a case let me go ahead and power it
on and I'll go over some of the specs here so we'll turn it on and let's go
over all the different specs there's quite a few to go over so like I said
the body's made of aluminum this has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 with the audrina
640 GPU this also has 8 gigabytes of RAM or it will come with 12 gigabytes of RAM
if you have the one terabyte version of storage it also has Wi-Fi 6 which is the
latest now the display is covered with Gorilla Glass 6 that's also true of the
back as well it's a dynamic AMOLED display that's
1440 by 3040 pixels it's 522 pixels per inch and it's an HDR 10 Plus display and
it has that under the screen fingerprint sensor now on the front there's two
cameras one is 10 megapixel with an F 1.9 aperture the other one is an 8
megapixel camera with an F 2.2 aperture that also records in 4k so you can
record in 4k from the front on the back we have three cameras the first one is a
12 megapixel F 1.5 to 2.4 variable aperture camera that's a wide camera
then we also have a 12 megapixel telephoto lens with an F 2.4 aperture
and an ultra wide 16 megapixel F 2.2 lens as well now the back cameras record
in 4k HDR for video this runs Android 9 Pi as the one UI or the Samsung
experience on it and it also has a 4100 milliamp hour battery that supports fast
wireless charging and you can reverse charge things like the Galaxy buds you
can also order a 5g version which is coming later to Verizon now before we go
ahead and set this up let's take a look at the SIM card slot it does have
expandable storage up to 512 gigabytes of microSD storage you can see here this
is plastic and it's also got your SIM card tray so it feels a little flimsy
but it doesn't move so that's not that big of a deal I'll put a SIM card in
there a little bit later so let's go ahead and set this up so let me set it
down here and we'll hit start we have to agree to the terms so I can restore
settings from say an iPhone or something else so I'll do that we'll hit next and
update smart switch a network connection is needed to check that ok
well update it so now it wants me to connect to my iPhone using a cable so I
can do this later or do it now and let's go ahead and connect it and you'll see
here's my iPhone I'm going to connect this to this now you have to trust it as
though it's a computer put in your device passcode and we'll hit next and
it's searching my iPhone XS Max for data to bring over and mostly I just
want to bring over some of the basic information such as my
text messages and things like that and it should show up on this device as well
so I'll let this run it will take a little while and we'll come back once
it's done now in order to copy my iPhone data to the s10 plus it told me to
charge the s10 plus to 80% so I'll have to come back and do that
although it could have been talking about the iPhone also but let's go ahead
and set up the fingerprint sensor so we'll hit fingerprints will it continue
and I'll set up a pin now it's telling me to put my thumb down seems a little
pickier than I remember Samsung phones being with the fingerprint but that's ok
there we go I'll add my other fingerprint now we'll
finish this up here and wait for it to complete this is the default home screen
of the s10 plus now I may change some of this as I tend to use Google Apps but
let's see what apps we've got on here applications not very many since I got
this from Samsung it shouldn't have a whole lot of extra things on here it's
installing some of the things I use normally and I'm just waiting for that
to complete now if we slide over here we've got bixby of course I'll be
reassigning that most likely when there's a software update which is
pushed out to this already took quite a few devices so hopefully I'll have that
and let's take a look at the settings so in settings everything is down here now
we have that one UI experience where everything's down here you can use one
hand to reach it and we've got quite a few different settings overall it looks
pretty nice let's see if we have a software update
it says checking for update let's see what we've got now it actually says I
have the February 1st update so hopefully a little it'll find one a
little bit later I'll check this again but let's go back and you can see
settings looks pretty good I'll be tweaking this over the next couple of
days and so far it feels very fast everything's nice and fluid so far I
don't have anything to the right it looks like then if we go into the camera
it looks pretty good we have a our emoji emoji
bixby vision of course video and this is what interests me the most actually is
it supposed to have HDR video so rear video size resolution full one to one it
also records in 22 88 by 1080 we're going to advanced video recording and
you'll see it has a high efficiency video an HDR 10 video which is what I'm
very interested in I want to try that out and see what it looks like so rear
video size it's in 1080 let's change that to 60 frames per second 4k and now
we have 4k and it looks like we can't do HDR in that particular mode let's go
back to 30 frames per second see if we can do HDR and now we can do HDR 10 so
that should be pretty interesting to see what it's like I'll be testing that out
as well now let's take a look at the Galaxy buds also now I know a lot of you
are going to comment I'm just using a Leatherman tool or whatever if you have
any suggestions for a better knife let me know I'll pick one up or I'd love to
try something else that's a little bit different so these were included free
with the s10 plus let's take these out here see what we've got here so it looks
like we've got some different fittings for our ears and then in here we've got
another USB a 2 USB type-c cable so we'll set that aside and let's open
these up and see what happens since this is supposed to be like the air pods are
so there we go they showed up will it connect well Wow
to greet all of these galaxies wearable
we have to change that notification tone and it says setting up your phone so it
was pretty easy to pair these so it says congrats on your new Galaxy buds will
hit agree and you can manage notifications and turn them off or on or
whatever you'd like so I'll come back to that a little bit later and then it says
use the touchpad double tap for next or answer or triple tech triple tap to go
to the previous track touch and hold and you can change the
setting so it finish and I'm all set so these should work now and supposedly we
can charge them on the back of this device also so let's see how that works
and I don't know if it's charging but you get the idea it should charge off
the back of here there we go now the lights on I don't know if you
can see that let me see if I can hold it still the lights on it was charging and
it may take a moment to set up but it's nice I can just set these on my desk
charge it and then I'll be good to go now if there's anything specific you
want to see regarding this particular device it says no match so that's kind
of interesting there we go I have to play around with
that a little bit more if there's anything and particularly you'd like to
see about the galaxy s 10 plus that you haven't seen elsewhere I'd love to hear
what you have to say just because I'd love to try out some things other people
are not so it keeps saying no match and I've set up both thumbs so that's kind
of interesting and I know there's an update for this so hopefully I'll get
that update and it improves quite a few things and it's already saying problem
loading widget so we'll see what happens but let me know what you think in the
