Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (8GB + 128GB)

  • Industry-leading 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with exceptional brightness and color accuracy
  • Versatile triple rear camera system featuring a new ultra-wide lens and dual-aperture standard lens
  • Strong battery life from the 4,100 mAh cell, often lasting a full day or more
  • Retains popular legacy features including a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card expansion
  • Innovative Wireless PowerShare allows charging of other devices like wireless earbuds
  • High-end performance and smooth multitasking with the Snapdragon 855 processor and up to 12GB RAM
  • Modern, premium build with slim bezels and attractive color options like Prism White

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (8GB + 128GB)

  • Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader is often reported as slower and less accurate than physical sensors
  • Night and low-light photography lacks the clarity of competitors like Google's Night Sight
  • High initial launch price of $999+ made it a significant investment
  • Pill-shaped 'hole punch' camera cutout can be distracting and attracts fingerprint smudges
  • Exynos-powered models (sold outside the US) reported significantly lower battery endurance than Snapdragon variants
  • As of 2025, the device no longer receives official Android software or security updates
  • Curved edges are prone to accidental touches and phantom inputs

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (8GB + 128GB) is a high-end smartphone featuring a stunning 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, a powerful Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 processor, and a versatile triple rear camera system (12MP wide, 12MP telephoto, 16MP ultrawide) in a premium, IP68 water-resistant build. Key pros include the phenomenal screen, solid all-day battery life (4,100mAh) with Wireless PowerShare, a traditional headphone jack, and expandable storage via microSD. Primary cons are that low-light photos are not as crisp as some competitors, the in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint reader can be inconsistent, and the initial price was very high.
