Review on Samsung Galaxy S10 Smartphone (SM-G9750) by Jnis Zari ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Why did other models not fit: iphone(11*): * all other devices and purchased applications are android; * harder to upload music as a hierarchy of directories with files; * some important tools are missing (offline topographic maps of the 2022, automatic call recording, . ); * no 3.5 mm. huawei (p30 pro): * Chinese; * no 3.5 mm; * poor screen protection against scratches (Gorilla Gl). google (pixel4xl): * not officially sold in the 2022 => goodbye, warranty; * 64 GiB of permanent memory, combined with the inability to insert a flash drive in a device for 60+ thousand, is a shame and a spit in the face (by the way, this version is sold in 2022 stores, there is another 128 GiB, but we have not seen it for sale). This is when the same earlier s10 + is in a version with 512 GiB and 1 TiB of ROM. In general, after this point, google immediately goes to Fig. (Okay, who is not enough, you can also look at his rogue battery. :-D) Additionally: * as I understand it, the version with snapdragon (SM-G9750) is not officially delivered to the 2022, therefore there is no guarantee from the "samsung" SC; * Megapixels of pictures are measured, of course, there is no point, because. they mean nothing. - Addition. The bixby on in this version (it's for Hong Kong, as I understand it) cannot be configured for another action at all (a camera, say): all instructions suggest going into the "byxby key" setting, and there you must first launch and log in to bixby, which is impossible, because "bixby voice is not available in your country". They write that the VPN does not help. When disabling bixby services via pm uninstall, this setting disappears altogether. In general, the on is dead.

Pros
  • tl; dr: speed, screen quality, external flash drive speed (UFS 2.1), battery, basic water protection, og audio output, . I won’t paint it, everything has been discussed many times in other reviews and reviews. Details. I chose for a long time and for specific requirements. I wanted something with the best possible camera at the moment, a normal og audio jack (3.5 mm), a long-lasting battery, moisture protection, a more or less normal atude to safety. And I didn’t want to take the Chinese (especially after a bad experience with xiaomi and more distrust of their firmware). Yes, I only looked at models of the last 1-1.5 years in order to receive security ates for at least another 2-3 years. (Here, android is very sad compared to iphone: an average of 2 years versus 6+; maximum support - for google pixel - 3 years from the start of sales). Before that, there was a sony xperia z2, on which cynogenmod was rolled out immediately after purchase, which later ordered to live long and frayed by its descendant - lineageos (with afwall + and everything corresponding), but there were problems with it: reboots (spontaneous and with each long charge) , falling applications, etc. In terms of hardware - an excellent phone, worked for 5 years. A good camera was required to kill two birds with one stone and not buy an additional camera (at least in the near future). On s10+, I decided not to change the original firmware because of the proprietary image post-processing component (the physical capabilities of the cameras are now approaching the limit, now the compeion is in the field of raw image processing software). Throwing out 3.5 mm (from my point of view) is only a marketing ploy, so that people suffer and then buy new models, where they will return it back. Let's see.
Cons
  • * Rounded screen. Yes, I understood that it , but I had to accept it. I suppose it's the same marketing as with the audio jack, because functionally there are only minuses from the rounding. One of the important ones is to compare the same UAG cases for this phone and for the iphone. In the second case, it will protrude above the screen along all 4 edges, in the first case, only along the top and bottom, so that 65-70% (taking into account the ratio of the lengths of the sides) hits on a pipe or curb will lead to a broken screen. * Screen (and sensor) over the entire area of ​​the front face (almost flush). Purely personal. I'm used to taking the phone in the way that is convenient for me, and holding it tightly, here you can forget about it (hello to roundings again), if there is no cover that increases the width. By the way, there is one in the kit, but it is absolutely smooth and extremely slippery. * To say that there are a lot of bloat creatures is to say nothing: beyond2q:/ $ pm list packages | wc -l 412 After the reboot, 2.7 GiB of RAM is immediately occupied in the OS. Fortunately, most external applications are removed or disabled via the interface, the rest are disabled via adb (pm uninstall . ). Everything is described on xda-developers. Bixby is fully disabled through adb. * Very lacking notification indication when the screen is off. In z2, this was implemented in the form of a multi-color LED - it is extremely convenient not only to see something missed, but also to distinguish, say, a call, SMS and messages in instant messengers.
