 So it's been a full year since I've been using the Galaxy S10+, now we know that the S20 line is coming up, there's a lot of hype about it, but let's take it back a little bit. Let's look at the S10+, because this thing has been a game changer. Now I know 2019 had so many devices and S10+, was looked over by a lot of people and I have to say coming back to 2020 beginning of this year, this is a prime device to pick up and the reason is because yes the pricing is much better, it's about $749 brand new, you can get it cheaper, you know $550 or something, maybe $600, you know if you buy any use, but it packs in so much and Samsung has done the work to keep this device relevant. So the very first thing is that look it's running OneUI 2.0 on Android 10, all those updates are out there, you've seen videos, so for better detail on OneUI 2.0, check out my buddy Jonathan Casey's video for that, but it runs really smooth and you know you can see it's running Android 10, you've got all those Android change features, the gestures, those little things that make it feel good and snappy and it does feel snappy with that too, dark mode, all the things you want, that's the same software will be running on the S20 and S20+, S20 Ultra, so you're not missing much there, right, except maybe for direct hardware feature differences, this is one of the best devices for me to hold and use and navigate, it feels very light, you're holding in your hands, doesn't feel like you're carrying something too heavy and it's very easy to just kind of swipe through, move around, you've got big hands like me, you're gonna love that 6.4 inch display and boy does that display look vibrant, sharp, it's really good, I think only the Note 10 display to me beats out the display that Samsung has to offer right here, now you're going what did you use this device day to day, what was my use case scenario and the first thing I'll say is gaming, right, I do a lot of gaming videos, I'm a gamer, it's powered by the Snapdragon 855 which is no slouch and yes we know the S20 will have the Snapdragon 865 processor which has a much better performance but 855 does the job quite well handling any of the games, whether it was PUBG playing on there or playing you know called Uni Mobile which everybody loves to play, this thing does a really good job but it's also the flexibility of gaming I do like with this device, one of my very favorite controllers last year was and still is the Razer Jungle Card waiting for that key sheet to come out and the Jungle Card is so versatile because it does come with a case for the S10 Plus, I can slide in those Joy-Con controllers and I have a mini Xbox with me to go, that to me is great, the fact that I can play my Android games I can log into my xCloud and play that as well and it gives me full functionality, I mean like that's awesome so the funny thing that most people don't know is that it's been my de facto gaming smartphone for last year, yes I love the ROG phone and I was school but just having that ability with it to me has been so easy and so good that this has been my de facto, anytime I've done a video about xCloud I use my Galaxy S10 Plus right that for me has just been the main thing so that aspect works really well the other thing too is it's got a headphone jack and that's something that literally only LG has kept, even Samsung has walked away from it so you want a Samsung phone that has a headphone jack that's the one phone that has it plus it has an SD card slot too so you've got that as with added storage so you know when I'm testing out these brand new headphones from AI AI AI which I might do a video for my dude something as a roundup really good headphones but you need something to drive it 32-bit audio through the headphone jack it's rare I mean it's diamond doesn't it this is one of the few devices that are good not just the cheaper devices I have headphone jack like of course the Pixel 3a but a good device that actually can do a lot of things that has a headphone jack I think it's just something to know what away from now photography is another thing that comes to mind you know that's one of the things a lot of people use their smartphones for because we don't buy cameras anymore or point and shoots for that kind of purpose photography has been good I mean the S10 Plus has still one of the best wide-angle cameras out there now in other aspects though it's not going to compare to say the iPhone 11 Pro Max which in terms of video does really really well trust me the S10 Plus is no slouch you've got steady shot which I love I love to use works out really well but the you know but it's low-light photography is not as good as some of those guys and I wouldn't be with you to it's got a little bit better you know the scene detection has gotten better but it's not the same and maybe that's where the S20 line comes up and gives us something more we do know the S20 Plus will have a bigger display of 6.7 inches we'll have a new camera set up with two 12 megapixel sensors the main sensor 12 megapixels but with a bigger microsecond micron size while the telephoto will be 64 megapixels now if you move over to the ultra the big boy that has the 108 megapixel main sensor would you be insane plus a 48 megapixel telescopic lens and give you up to 100x zoom I mean that's like nuts absolutely not so those kind of things make this device feel a little different right and going S20 might give us a lot more but look back let's look at some of the images the S10 Plus actually can give and it does a really good job and that's the thing you have to look at you got to look at the images look what they're producing you go like you know what it's good for me it works well I'm not saying you have to settle I'm just saying that look if the cost benefit is there we don't know how much the S20 will probably be priced at and that sounds like a beast but this device here is about 749 right now and it's gonna give you this kind of imagery this kind of photos and also some really good video with stuff like your steady shot so I think those things come into play now battery life is the last aspect I really want to talk about because the S10 minus really carry this new battery legacy for Samsung the Note 10 also has been really good with batteries the S10 plus started off with its 4100 milliamp battery which back then when it first got it last February basically gave me a full day's worth of juice now in 2020 late January it's still giving me a full you know day's work of juice because battery optimization has been good the software updates with Android 10 and one UI 2.0 have been great the ability to actually get that into a device has been so good makes so much more sense and it feels really fresh trust me navigating through this thing is really good plus you've got all those little additives where you've got reverse wireless charging it's built into it you can recharge your Galaxy Buds whatever device you want to recharge you know might take a little bit of time but it packs all the things you're looking for there's a lot to say about the S10 plus I really like it I think it's something you can pick up right now I mean there's some things that I don't like I don't like the fact and again this is probably for all smartphones last year you get a lot of micro scratches on Gorilla Glass 6 so that's more of a Gorilla Glass 6 thing and I also wish that you know the photography was much better especially in low light but I think overall though if you're thinking do I want to spend much more money on that S20 Ultra or even the S20 plus again we don't know how much or do I just save some get myself either brand new S10 plus or use S10 plus I think getting to use S10 plus makes a lot of sense I don't see anything wrong with it I don't think you have to spend too much I think Samsung has delivered something that has lasted more than a year and a couple more years to come that you will go I like my phone I think it's really soft so there you have it if you agree with me about the S10 plus being a value today right now I'll let me know leave your thoughts out down below if you disagree I want to hear your thoughts as well thank you very much
