Galaxy S10 long-time review
Phone owned for more than a year

Good phone for everyday usage, great battery, great camera, but snapchat does not work very well like it does on iPhone.
Screen is amazing, fast charging works okay. The UI is really good, i recently switched to iPhone and i actually miss it a Little bit. Overall great phone!

The best phone of 2019 this far
Phone owned for less than 3 months

The phone is a beast. Battery life have been improved. Less bezels and very responsive to operation. The UI is intuitive and of good aesthetic quality. Ram, Memory are Although would prefer under display camera but the punch hole is reasonably better than the notch.
Retaining the earphone Jack is a plus. I can't stand low battery interruption of the Bluetooth earpiece.
