Design and Build: A Design Milestone
The Galaxy S10 was Samsung's 10th-anniversary flagship and one of the most beloved Galaxy phones ever created. The glass sandwich design with a curved Dynamic AMOLED display and hole-punch camera (Samsung's first) was stunning. The glossy back with a subtle prism effect caught the light beautifully.
Samsung packed everything into the S10: a headphone jack, microSD expansion, wireless charging, and a sleek design that weighed just 157g. The ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor was an early but reliable implementation.
Key Features Under the Hood
The Galaxy S10 was powered by the Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 — chips that are now showing their age but remain usable for basic tasks.
Here is a quick look at the standout specs:
- Display: 6.1-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED, HDR10+. Samsung's display technology was and still is exceptional.
- Camera: 12MP main + 16MP ultra-wide + 12MP telephoto (2x optical). The triple-camera system was versatile for its time.
- Battery: 3,400mAh with 15W wired and wireless charging. Adequate for moderate use.
- Headphone Jack: Yes — with AKG-tuned earphones included.
- Reverse Wireless Charging: Powershare for charging other devices.
The Verdict
The Galaxy S10 is a design classic that aged gracefully. In 2026, it's a basic phone for calls, messages, and media, with a display that still impresses. The headphone jack and microSD slot make it appealing for users who value these features.
