The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a more budget-friendly option compared to the Galaxy S10+, offering nearly the same performance and camera capabilities. The main differences are that the S10+ has a larger screen and longer battery life. If a bigger display and extended battery use are important to you, and you don't mind spending a bit more, the S10+ may be the better choice. However, if you prefer a slightly smaller and lighter phone that costs less, the Galaxy S10 would be a good fit. Both models have the same quality cameras, processors, and the ability to charge wirelessly. Give Feedback

Caitlin McGarry | October 2022
"The Galaxy S10 offers superfast performance and a beautiful display, with a less distracting camera cutout than on the larger, pricier S10 Plus. If all you're looking for is a well-rounded, well-crafted Android flagship that can do it all — including work with a pair of good old-fashioned wired headphones — for a price you can sleep easy at night spending, the Galaxy S10 remains an unbeatable proposition."

"This handset gives you a big and immersive full-screen experience, very capable cameras and fast performance in a slick design. Samsung also deserves credit for how seamlessly the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and Wireless PowerShare features work."
