Cool features of Samsung Galaxy S9

  • While Snapdragon 845 is not as fast as Snapdragon 855, the phone is quite powerful in terms of processing.

  • The audio system works great with dual speakers.
  • It still has the old-fashioned headphone jack.
  • It comes with the ability of wireless charging. And it has water resistant IP68 rating.

Some drawbacks

While there are a lot of good features that make this phone great, there are some drawbacks too to talk about. For instance, the dual-aperture lens in the phone takes great photos but the photos may occur blurry in case of any movement. The 3D avatars and new face unlock tools are either half-baked or flawed.

Price of the phone

The opening price of this phone is surely higher. A price tag of $720 is surely reserved for the high end phones. But then, you know what happened when with the new releases and also during holidays. The more expensive phones can be bought in cheaper rates with the discount deals. As for now, you can buy this phone at $599 which is surely an attractive price tag considering the features and specs this phone has.

Screen resolution

The AMOLED display on a 5.8-inch screen is really a treat to watch. Being a medium sized phone, this phone can be held in the hands quite nicely. Confusion, however, for the users is that phone is set to a lower resolution of 2220×1080 pixels when you start the phone. If you want higher resolution, you are going to have to set the screen resolution at 2960×1440, which is the maximum the phone has to offer.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Review

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus may have gone out of the spotlight with the launch of foldable Galaxy fold and a fast Galaxy S10 5G but this phone is definitely something that can satisfy the users’ requirements in a pretty decent manner. Sharper screen, great camera pack, and a nice battery are the features that make this phone a desirable choice.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is one of the few phones by Samsung to have 1TB storage option. The 512GB and 1TB phones come with ceramic finish which looks great. In simple words, Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is one of the best phones to have.

Price of S10 Plus

The modern high-end smartphones are available at more than $1000. The starting price of Galaxy Fold is $1,980 and that of the Huawei Mate X is $2,600. Comparing to these phones, the price of S10 looks pretty attractive. You can get this phone at $1000.

A phone that is good to look at

Samsung has a history of favoring the glossy finishes that reflect light in an unusual manner. Galaxy S10 Plus does the same, and it has some amazing shades that make the reflection quite good looking. But with all that glossiness, the phone has a tendency to slip out of hands.

Another thing that Samsung has done with this phone is that the fingerprint scanner has been integrated into the screen. However, there are some accuracy issues with this fingerprint scanner. Unlocking the screen using this scanner might require more than one attempt, and it can be issue when you have to make a transaction and your phone remains locked due to fingerprint scanner not responding.

Brilliant display

One of the best features of this phone is its display, which is quite brilliant. But the notch inside the screen is much like and interruption in the seamlessness of the display. This notch looks more like a home which has been made into the display. But this feature may be an attractive one for the users who love innovations.

Android Pie and One UI

The UI design of this phone is great but icons with large and flat circles may take some time for the users to get used to. Overall, the Android upgrade is a nice one and it is good to work with.

Wireless PowerShare

This one is a great feature of Galaxy S10 Plus. The phone can be used to charge other devices which can be charged using Qi chargers. Although Samsung is not the first company to use this feature in their phones, this feature is really good to have.

When your phone’s charge is reduced to 30%, this feature is turned off automatically. One of the reasons this phone is given this feature is that the battery of this phone is very powerful.
