Design

If you are looking for a device with solid dimensions, do not hesitate to choose Samsung s10 5g. It has an Infinity-O display, a glass back panel and a metal frame that unites everything. Available in a body in three possible colors - blue, black and white.

Like many of its competitors in the 5G-enabled market, the Samsung s10 5g is large and heavy. The display is protected with Gorilla Glass 6, which guarantees durability and reliability. It is surrounded by relatively thin frames, especially on both sides. The front camera is positioned in the upper right corner. Turning the device, you will notice that the back panel is very elegant. The design is clean and the cameras are positioned horizontally at the top of the device. The light plays interestingly with the surface.

Display

Samsung s10 5g has a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with an aspect ratio of 19: 9 and a resolution of 1440 x 3040 pixels. HDR + is supported. The screen has the same curves that help create the effect of a thinner device. It looks spectacular, bright and large. Its size allows you to turn it into a full-fledged multimedia device. You will enjoy watching photos, videos, surfing the Internet and social networks. The sound quality and volume complement the high rating.

Productivity

Under the beautiful and elegant exterior of Samsung s10 5g can lie chipset Exynos 9820 Octa or Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855, depending on the modification. The graphics core is Mali-G76 MP12 or Adreno 640, respectively. You have 8 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of internal storage. Think carefully about how much memory you need before you buy a smartphone. It's never bad to have more if you have a lot of photos, videos or music. In addition, the Samsung s10 5g does not have a memory card slot, which is a rarity for the Samsung model.

The performance of the smartphone is at a good level, worthy of a device from the family of the South Korean company. Expect quick response to apps and games.

Samsung s10 5g comes factory with the Android 9 Pie operating system.

Cameras

The smartphone has a triple rear camera and a 3D camera for measuring the depth of the frame, also known as ToF. We've seen it before in the iPhone X, LG G8 ThinQ and Huawei P30 Pro. It provides detailed and accurate depth measurement. This is useful for facial recognition, 3D images, virtual reality and augmented reality. It can also be useful for optimizing photos taken with other cameras. Provides good background blur.

The main module is 12-megapixel with optical stabilization. It is complemented by a 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera.

The front camera is a single, 10-megapixel camera with a 3D depth sensor. With it you can make impressive shots, and with the beautification mode you will add fantastic adjustments. There are several effects available to the user, which will pleasantly fill their free time.

Try taking selfies with the ToF sensor. You will notice a positive difference. Samsung S10 5g is one of the few phones with autofocus in the front camera.

With this smartphone you can also hope for quality videos - up to 4K at 60 frames per second with the rear camera.

Autonomous work

Samsung s10 5g is a smartphone with a built-in battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh. It is largely due to the larger body size and weight. With such a battery you can expect satisfactory battery life.

The South Korean manufacturer has provided support for 25W fast charging technology and 15W wireless charging. You can also use the smartphone as an external battery.
