S10 will always be peak for me. It was the phone with the most, it had all the things the current phones have, like triple cameras, under screen fingerprint scanner etc. still had headphone jack, Micro sd card slot, the heart rate monitor and 1440p screen.

I agree with you, the last Samsung Galaxy S with both headphone jack and microSD card slot, plus still has a lot of the modern features like full front screen (almost). In fact it's my main phone to this day. My biggest gripe is the sides of the phone curving over the edge. Almost wish I got the S10e with the flat screen with no curves. I get a lot of missed inputs that can be frustrating at times because the screen simply won't respond because some of my fingers are 'bleeding' over the edges and touching the screen. The curved screen may have been popular for looking cool, but functionally it was annoying. Many people agree including Marques himself.

In South Korea, there are three major Carrier : KT, LG U+, and SK telecom. When the Galaxy was first released, it came out exclusively with SK telecom (SKT), hence the name Galaxy S. There are also models like Galaxy K (SHW-M130K) and Galaxy U (SHW-M130L). If Galaxy had been released exclusively with Verizon in the United States, it would likely have been named Galaxy V. haha.

I mean S10e was just a brilliant product! Also S10 series was the last lineup of flagship phones that had the headphone jack & a microSD card slot! Last flagship to come with AKG headphones in the box along with charging brick & cable! In my country it also came with preapplied screen protector, OTG & a phone case! WHAT!

You missed some really important stuff regarding the S5 IMO. S5 was IP67 WITH a removable back cover (i went snorkeling with it, filming underwater). It also had the option to preserve this AND add wireless charging. Samsung provided replaceable back covers, one of which added a coil connecting to predefined pins on the back of the phone. Thus the S5 was the first wireless charging phone in the S series, not the S6. I had that exact setup, awesome times. The S4 could sense your fingers from 1 inch away off the screen, it had animations on the lockscreen and other preview features in the software which eventually landed on the Note with the S pen. It also had a high sensitivity toggle which allowed you to wear any gloves and still use the touchscreen. The S3 launched with the "S Beam" which, provided you would tap the back of two phones, would make a transfer of the selected files/links/apps, similar to what Apple introduced with the iOS17 update. My S7 Edge is a true hero, it is still being used as the main phone from 2016, marking its 8 years anniversary. Its only downfall (aside from the battery and the lack of software updates) is the AMOLED screen which burnt in eventually. Fingerprint sensor works like new, camera looks fine, great piece of technology.

Man I loved my S10, esp when I was using the iris scanner to unlock the phone when I was wearing gloves at work. But I was swayed by the trade in offer (and dying battery) to an S21 U, which I also really liked, especially since it had S Pen functionality. They gave me a free upgrade in internal storage too, which I accepted and turns out that tbh I didn't need an SD card anymore since there was so much internal storage (for me anyways) that I could ditch the SD card and not have to worry about it possibly dying on me, and having to move apps back and forth. Now on an S23U cause I thought battery would die in the S21U in 2 years like it did for the S10, but it surprisingly didn't, so gonna wait for longer than my 2 year cyclic upgrade routine since the S4 (that, and the built in stylus was better than clipping the pen on the side). I still missed my iris scanner though, especially during covid with masks.

I could not agree more that the S9 was not only peak Samsung phone design but I also think it was the pinnacle of smartphone design in general.

I still have my S9 in a drawer and every once in awhile I pick it up just to feel it in the palm of my hands and it just blows my mind that nothing has even come close to feeling as sleek and perfected as this design.

S1-S24 owner here. Big fan of the Active models, S8 Active was peak Galaxy S for me. IT DIDN'T NEED A CASE.

The weirdest Galaxy S was definitely the first Sprint specific "Galaxy S Epic 4G" front camera, flash on rear, full sliding QWERTY keyboard, and Wi-Max 4G. It was wild at the time!

I had an S7 Edge, actually the exploded phone is on my shelf right now - I'm looking at it. It was pretty decent phone, one of the best I've used... but... certainly wasn't peak Samsung. The phone cracked, it had that purple line when it cracks too, it would start to overheat, couldn't play high-end games - it was also too small for gaming, my fingers would cover up the screen, and the camera wasn't the great. We have different definitions of peak Samsung, for sure. But I'd confidentially saying peak Samsung is the S21 (my current phone) since I mean, S22, 23 and 24 have little-to-no improvements on it, with the next peak Samsung being either the S9 or the S6 (both for innovation sakes). The S10 wasn't so bad either 😂

@@robertfan332I just made the change from the S10 to an S21 Ultra. I refuse to pay extra money to the BS phone companies, so no S24 for me. 5 years, no battery issues. I don't really understand how that happens. I also don't understand how the phone that has been through absolute hell, my S10 is still in better condition than the S21 Ultra I got. Like I dropped that thing in oil, coolant, sand, concrete... and besides a couple scratches it's perfect. People take care of your stuff.

A super phone for me back in the day, then 2 years later when my phone died I upgraded to the S23 Ultra, a gigantic step forward, but nothing new and that´s deppresing, just supercharged specs, maybe the software? 😅🤣
