Detailed evaluation of Samsung Galaxy S10+: it's really just a little less perfect!
Detailed evaluation of Samsung Galaxy S10+: it's really just a little less perfect!

Appearance: the most beautiful explosion-proof shield

When seeing the appearance of Samsung S10+, the first thing that comes to mind is the sense of refinement and quality. It gives people the feeling that the money is worth it. Indeed, the appearance of Samsung S10+is really beautiful. As for why it looks good, I think it should be neat and concise.


When I saw the back, I called S10+the most beautiful explosion-proof shield in the picture. The rear three camera+flash+heart rate sensor are arranged in a horizontal line and concentrated in the long rectangle with rounded corners. In addition, there is basically no other element on the back, which is very simple.


Speaking of the back, I have to praise the color of Samsung S10+, which is now popular in the market, S10+does not follow the trend of using gradient colors, but uses more pure ones: carbon crystal black, white white jade, glass green, and ceramic white and black ceramic version. We have white jade, which is also the color I think is the best. It is really only meaningful but not wordable. If you have a chance, you can really go to offline stores to have a look. It is really special.


The frame is made of metal. If you were a S9+user before, you can clearly feel that the frame of S10+is not so hard on your hands. Although the screen of S10+is not perfectly connected with the frame, it will not hurt your hands at least. Compared with the frame, the weight is the biggest plus. The 175g weight is very light on your hands, and there is no pressure at all.


The "high above" power key on the right side of the fuselage has almost become a "public enemy". It is actually a bit troublesome to use. If you hold the phone normally and press the power key, you will have to change your hand posture to press it. According to the online disassembly map, the battery placement occupies a large area on the lower right side of the fuselage, The power key has to be placed in such an "awkward" position.


Top of the fuselage: SIM card slot, supporting dual Nano SIM cards, or single Nano SIM card+microSD card (up to 512GB expansion), and noise reduction mic.


Bottom: 3.5mm headphone hole, USB Type-C interface, USB version is USB 3.1 Gen 1, and speaker. IP68 level dustproof and waterproof will still be present.


Turn to the front and light up the screen. The "pill" in the upper right corner does affect the visual perception, but the actual experience tells me that the truth is that I seldom notice the "pill" at ordinary times, and more often I am immersed in the screen. This "pill" has also set off a wallpaper trend, but this "pill" When playing some games, certain images will be covered. This subsequent software manufacturer should adapt.


To sum up the appearance, what I can think of is that the machine is too beautiful~


Screen: Samsung's "magic"

The WQHD+level screen is clear enough. The manual maximum brightness is 408 nit, the full white excitation brightness is 766 nit, and the local excitation brightness is 975 nit. This performance is undoubtedly the top level. It is enough to cope with various scenes. What's more, The DC dimming is the highest brightness for S10+, and the rest are PWM dimming. But in general, the appearance of this screen is really good. Maybe this is Samsung's magic.


performance

It is equipped with Snapdragon 855 SoC, 8GB LPDDR4x memory, 128GB UFS2.1 flash memory, Toshiba THGAF8T0T43BAIRA000B model, which are common configurations. WiFi supports the latest WiFi 6, namely 802.11ax. Now let's learn about the performance of S10+through a simple run.


CPU

     

GPU

         


Memory

  

Flash Memory

     

Compared with the previous generation Note9 CPU, Samsung S10+has a 40% increase in single core performance, 20% increase in multi-core performance, 20% increase in GPU performance, and lower memory latency. In terms of running points, this Snapdragon 855 on Samsung S10+is basically at the basic level of Snapdragon 855, but now every family basically has a white list of running points, so the game has greater practical significance.


Game measurement

First, let's take the NBA 2K19 40 minute test. The test results are as follows

The average frame rate is 59 fps, the average fluctuation is 1 fps, and the whole process is full. The performance is very close to that of two 855 mobile phones, Xiaomi 9 and IQOO, which is better than S10e.



Take a look at the system scheduling. The load priority of the medium core and the water paddle of the large core are similar to the Xiaomi 9 scheduling.


Heat generation: the maximum front temperature of NBA 2K19 for 40 minutes is 41.2 ℃, and the maximum rear temperature is 40.5 ℃


After another 30 minutes of chicken eating, the average frame rate is 39 fps, and the average frame rate fluctuates by 1.03 fps. The whole process of chicken eating is smooth.


Take a look at the system scheduling. Large cores give priority to load.



Fever, eating chicken for 30 minutes, the maximum temperature on the front side is 40.5 ℃, and the maximum temperature on the back side is 40 ℃


Finally, the 15 minute open world of crash 3, with an average frame rate of 55 fps, and an average frame rate fluctuation of 4.69 fps, is similar to that of Xiaomi 9.


Samsung is still a big core priority load, but compared with Xiaomi9, there is no obvious difference in frame rate between the small and medium-sized core priority load scheduling mode.


Heat generation, open the world for 15 minutes, the maximum temperature of the front is 40.5 ℃, and the maximum temperature of the back is 40 ℃


Photograph: still high standard


This time, Samsung's rear camera sensors are all home sensors

  • Main camera: S5K2L4, 12 million pixels, F1.5/2.4 variable aperture, 1.4 μ m single pixel size, sensor size 1/2.55 ", Samsung, the main camera model, has been changing, and the parameters are basically unchanged

  • Long focus: S5K3M3, 12 million pixels, F2.4 aperture, 1.0 μ m single pixel size, sensor size 1/3.4“

  • Ultra wide angle: S5K3P9, 16 million pixels, F2.2 aperture, 1.0 μ m single pixel size, sensor size 1/3.1“

The following is a sample comparison to explore the photographic ability of Samsung S10+(comparison object: Galaxy Note9、iPhone XS MAX、Mate 20 Pro)


First of all, the S10+sample has high color saturation, high overall exposure, and tolerance ahead of the other three mobile phones. Note 9 white balance is cold, Meta 20 Pro is green, and S10+is closest to iPhone.


Enlarge the dark building. S10+is obviously more exposed in the dark than the other three mobile phones.


Enlarge the building in the distance to see the analytical force. Both the lines of the building and the company's signboard show more details. The S10+has a slight improvement compared with Note9.


This picture of S10+shows an amazing dynamic range. The white balance of Note9 is still cold. The Mate 20 Pro is red instead of green this time. S10+is the closest to iPhone.


Zoom in to see the stone in the center. The exposure of the two Samsung cameras in the dark is obviously higher than that of Apple Huawei.


Compared with the telephoto lens, the equivalent focal length of Apple and Samsung telephoto lenses is about 52mm (the larger the number, the farther the picture can be taken), which is twice the light variation. The equivalent focal length of Huawei Mate 20 Pro telephoto has reached 81mm, that is, three times the light change, and the analytic force is naturally the mobile phone with two times the light change. S10+performs slightly better than the iPhone XS MAX.


For ultra wide angle comparison, the S10+ultra wide angle equivalent focal length is about 13mm, and the Mate 20 Pro ultra wide angle equivalent focal length is 16mm, so Samsung's ultra wide angle should be more "wide", the Mate 20 Pro white balance is obviously red, and the analytical power of both mobile phones is reduced on the edge.

In general, S10+is more practical than Mate 20 Pro.


Compared with Note9, S10+overall exposure is significantly improved in night view.


In terms of picture purity, Mate 20 Pro>Note9>S10+>iPhone。 S10+successfully suppressed the high light of the text, and the words "Xiaoluo Stinky Tofu" were clearly visible. Note 9 was also good, but the text appeared light spots, which affected the appearance. Mate 20 Pro sharpened obviously, and the yellow font was painted white.


Zoom in to see the details of the concrete wall. S10+is better than Note9, both of which are much better than the iPhone. However, it still seems powerless in front of Huawei. It is not Samsung that is not good enough, but Huawei is too powerful.


S10+has the highest overall brightness, iPhone is the darkest, and Mate 20 Pro is between two mobile phones.


In the center of magnification, two Samsung can see the noise slightly, Apple noise is the most obvious, and Mate 20 Pro has the best picture purity


Enlarge the edge, Mate 20 Pro can clearly see the texture of the wall, but because of the sharpening, the highlight is not very natural, S10+smearing is serious, and the analytical power is not even as good as Note9.


After the Mate 20 Pro starts the super night view mode, the picture brightness has a qualitative leap. The brightness is higher than the Samsung S10+, and the dark details have also been well preserved.


Although the analytical power has declined slightly, it is still higher than Samsung. Samsung has no manual super night view mode for the time being, and hopes Samsung can add similar algorithm mode later.

In conclusion, S10+photography still maintains a high level. The first impression is very good when there is sufficient sunshine in the daytime, the pictures are fully exposed, tolerant, bright colors, and accurate white balance. The dark environment also maintained a good level, but compared with Note9, the progress is not very great. The iPhone that scores tens of thousands of minutes is still too simple.


Experience: Yes, but better

One UI

To make good use of S10+, you must first install three apps: Good Lock、One Hand Operation+、Edge touch。

In Good Lock, you can modify the settings panel, multi task list, clock style and navigation bar; One Hand Operation+is a sideslip gesture operation software. If you are not accustomed to the system's own gesture operation, you can choose this one; Edge touch is a curved screen anti false touch software, which can set the anti false touch area.

Only when these three software are well coordinated, can the One UI be complete. In general, the One UI has been very good in daily use, and there is no problem with its fluency. The transition animation is also very comfortable. Samsung's system has always been a weak link before, but now it is finally a flagship system.


Ultrasonic fingerprint

During the period of using S10+, the experience of ultrasonic fingerprint is actually ordinary. The reason is not its slow recognition speed, but the slow response speed of the system. If you unlock the screen after the lock screen lights up the screen, the speed is very fast, which can be comparable to the physical fingerprint. But if you unlock from the rest screen, you will always feel half a beat slow from the rest screen to the unlock to enter the system, It makes you feel that the speed is not very fast.

In addition, the display speed of the rest screen in the fingerprint identification area is not very fast, which is not as fast as the response of other fingerprint phones under the optical screen. As a result, they often press the wrong position when they press to unlock. I really hope Samsung can improve it in the future.


Double vocalization

S10+is still equipped with stereo dual speakers to support Dolby's panoramic sound. The actual listening feeling is really shocking and the experience is excellent. With this good screen, it is really nice to watch movies. Compared with the iPhone XS Max, S10+has a wider sound field and a higher volume. The XS Max has more concentrated sound and heavier bass (metaphysical time), but both are basically at the level of fairy fights.


Ancestral charging&lasting surprise

The battery has increased from 3500 mAh of S9+last year to 4100 mAh today, with an increase of 600 mAh. In addition to the excellent energy consumption ratio of Snapdragon 855 with a 7nm process, the endurance performance should be considerable.

     

after Love to play computer games In the two-hour endurance test, the remaining power is 82%, which can be said to be quite good. The S10+screen resolution is WQHD, the number of pixels is more than the conventional FHD+, the processor load is higher, and the power consumption is naturally higher, but the S10+still maintains excellent endurance.

However, how long the endurance is, how slow the charging is. Samsung is very conservative in fast charging technology. It still stays at the S8 level a few years ago. The charging protocols supported are QC2.0, Samsung's own AFC protocol, and the PD protocol based on Type-C interface. Next, use C to C charging line and PD charging head for fast charging test.

     

According to the actual measurement, it takes 1 hour and 36 minutes to fully charge the battery from 5%. It can be seen that after 80% of the battery, the percentage of charge increases slowly.

     

The maximum power is 14.7W. After the screen is lit, the power drops to about 6W. One hour later, the power starts to drop. The trickle time behind is high, resulting in a long total charging time. Samsung still maintains the previous Buddhist charging, with a peak power of less than 15W. Facing today's mobile phones with excellent fast charging technology, S10+charging is weak.


summary

advantage:

1. The handle and weight are very good.

2. Top screen, excellent dual speakers, great audio and video experience.

3. Photography quality is still the first echelon.

44100mAh battery, surprising endurance.

5. One UI has made great progress.


Disadvantages:

1. The charging speed is not "flagship".

2. The ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking experience can be better.

On the whole, Samsung Galaxy S10+'s comprehensive strength is still the top level of Android camp, and there is no obvious weakness. The only pity is that the charging speed is slow in the flagship camp of Android. As for whether it can become the king of Android, it depends on whether it can meet your needs.

In terms of purchase suggestions, for the moment, the Hong Kong version is more cost-effective. The Bank of Hong Kong supports national joint insurance and can also use the Bank of China system, which is a good choice. The above is all the content of this Samsung Galaxy S10+evaluation. All the staff of Ainong would like to thank you for watching.
