Lack of bass, Slight pumping effect on some recordings, Poor directivity
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ puts in an overall solid performance for both recording and playing back audio in most use cases. A lack of bass power may be a problem for some, especially when coupled with the device's relative lack of overall volume. Those weak...

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ has a fantastic camera array, packed with decent imaging features. Although Samsung may trail the likes of Huawei for sheer camera hardware innovation, the Galaxy S10 Plus nails the basics with terrific image quality and flawless A...
The Galaxy S10+ is Samsung's most ambitious device to date, and it is holding up very well after three months. The display is the best you'll find on a phone today, and the device has just about every feature that you'd want from a flagship in 2019. The camera may not be quite as consistent as the Pixel 3, but you get more sensors to play around with. My only quibble is the battery life on the Exynos version — it isn't quite as solid as the Snapdragon variant.
The competition has intensified in 2019, and there are plenty of great alternatives to the Galaxy S10+. The P30 Pro in particular stands out because of its ability to match Samsung's flagship in all areas, but Huawei's continuing troubles with the U.S. government make it a non-starter right now. If anything, the trade ban directly benefited Samsung, allowing the South Korean manufacturer to pull further ahead of Huawei in global markets.
