Samsung Galaxy S10+ in 2024 - Should You Buy?

Samsung Galaxy S10+ in 2024 - Should You Buy?
2 years ago, I bought the Galaxy S10+ and I made a KZbin video about it. Anyway, I think it’s past time I made a follow-up video, how has the Galaxy S10+ held up over the past 2 years and should you even consider buying it in 2024? That’s what we’re going to find out in this video.

The new Samsung a55 5g beats it

[@UdiShoots]

The Galaxy A55 is ₦668k or $450. For that price you could get the Galaxy S21 Ultra or the S22+. So which will you choose new midrange (Galaxy A55) or old Flagship (Galaxy S21 Ultra)

[@Aidannn_717]

he has been real silent 😂@@UdiShoots

[@faccezitCroc]

@@UdiShootscan you review the a55 5g? But my only question is should i consider the a55 5g over the s10+? Like which specs are better?

[@RHEMANDIANAOweimieotu]

​@@faccezitCrocwith the price of a55 you can get s21 ultra which will outmatch the a series in every way

[@faccezitCroc]

@@RHEMANDIANAOweimieotu thank you

[@polightshakka304]

Once a flagship, always a flagship.

[@UdiShoots]

💯💯

[@VINTAGE_GSM_GADGETS]

True

[@jaywarudo]

Maybe, but in performance, the low end A series phones (not the mid-rangers) are catching up to the 5-6 year old flagships already. The S10 is next.

[@knightopee]

Still using my S10 and it's still better than most new phones

S24u thickness is bigger than my life

[@UssyMustyYS]

Bought mine since launch in 2019, still going strong to this day

[@CrueHead18]

Bought mine in march 0f 2020, used it for 3 years as my daily driver. Fantastic phone. Still have it and works well, including the battery, which is surprising.

[@TimePostTV]

Man that's the s10 plus you're shooting with? WOW It looks like a real camera and you look fantastic on it 👍

[@lutho3107]

I am so "addicted" to the S10+, still inlove with the design and specs. One of the best phones ever produced by Samsung. I had it a few years back and i was pickpocketed, bought an S10 but this year went back to S10+...still love it...I feel 😑😑 with the new slabs released lately.

[@BracketReviews]

Sti holds up. My s10 is doing pretty good too. Great review there. ❤

[@UdiShoots]

Thanks boss

[@LCS1]

Had my galaxy S10+ from 2019 to last month when it died and I upgraded or the S24 Ultra. This phone was still doing an awesome job and I would have pushed till next year if it had not fallen and broken. Great video!

Great video, thank you! 🤩

[@georgeiulian89]

I'm still using my S10+ which i bought back in June 2019. I've replaced the battery last year and it's good to go for another 2 years.

[@Dr.Mikasa_A536]

I still use this phone I still get 3-3.5 hours battery life It's still pushing through in 2024

[@arrjunramesh]

Change the battery you'll get another 2 hours of screen on time.

Watched ur video for 1st time & liked ur explanation 👌🏽, became a subscriber ! I guess the tech game is a bit different in nigeria when it comes to latest & the greatest, tecno is a mass seller over there i guess because of the price to performance ratio ! Do Make videos like these on older flagships from samsung, & try to do a vlog where u can show what phones & other tech that r sold like hot cakes in ur surrounding.. ✌🏽from India

[@UdiShoots]

Thanks for the sub!

[@infobot123]

one of the best designs samsung had in mobiles

[@WorldOfTobi]

I bought this phone when it came out, jus last week it said battery life dropped to 4.1k still an amazing phone

[@arrjunramesh]

Had my s10+ since day 1 till this jan and upgraded to s24 ultra. I should say, i played alot call of duty mobile. Changed the battery a year ago and got 6 hours of screen on time. 3 hours of gaming. With just 60hz it was the best phone. I upgraded cuz the power and volume buttons fell out 😂 so basically it was on its last leg. But still i loved that phone alot. Everything was perfect with that one.

[@egglettes9668]

my bixby button fell out too😢

[@ArthurDessy]

Gift it to me 🙏🏽

[@Destkalu-]

Suiii The camera and display quality is top notch 👌

[@UdiShoots]

Yup.

[@GoodByeSkyHarborLive]

Do you know if any of the cases like spigen and otterbox are compatible with dex?

[@jameslarryaaaaaaaaaaaqasaa1233]

S10 is still a decent phone. But for anybody needing a good temp phone to hold you over for a bit it's solid. At the very least get 20 or s21 to hold you over for a few years to you upgrade

[@dannymason6384]

Fol4 getting main screen replaced. Starting using s10+ in mean time. Straight away wonder why I'm considering a s24+. S10+ does everything anyone would want

[@adeolaajibola9277]

Great review Udi, are there any tips to get a better performing camera on the s10 plus. I got a second handed one recently and the camera quality has been terrible since purchase

[@UdiShoots]

Terrible in what way? Dust in the lens?

[@user-fm1mq2yt5w]

I have tested switch emulation on the S10 E and it's a monster it runs very well if you have the right settings and GPU drivers

[@jb678901]

I changed the battery on my S10+ after almost 3 years. Not a scratch on the phone, at the time (always use a case and self-healing screen protector). However, I knew that a battery replacement would ensure the back panel/glass would not survive, so I ordered one on AliEx (~US$12), along with the battery (OEM, from Amazon ~$37). The replacement back came with the adhesive pre-applied, to ensure a good and proper dust proof seal after install. It took me about 25 minutes to replace the battery (a heat gun, jewelers screw driver, plastic phone-blade for removal of the back without damaging phone, 90% alcohol), including removal of ~14 small screws and a couple of ribbon cables from their connections. The longest part of the process...removal of the old gummy adhesive. Removal of the battery was a careful process to pry it away from its glued in position (heat gun helped). Fresh battery and rear back cover...mint again! Note that I did set the software to 85% max charge...to increase the lifetime of the new battery and extend the useful life of this flagship phone. Excellent camera...w/phone jack...and w/MicroSD expansion...THIS IS A TERRIFIC PHONE! As I need a phone with a quality camera and good audio support, the S10+ meets these requirements with aplomb. Mine has LDAC codec enabled under dev options, too.

[@aornobjamil7526]

been using this for more than 4 years , works just fine no issues at all

[@GEDOHBLAZZTER]

I'm still rocking mine, it's obviously alowed down a lot over the years but still a good phone. Might upgrade to the s24 ultra soon

[@Ashirking]

[@nrsdave1776]

[@ChinedumChijioke-gq7xg]

How about internet connection? Whats's like the upload and download spead?

[@cone17_]

hey man do you maybe do something while recording? because when i record inside the colors are kinda washed out and not as sharp as outside. Are you recording 4k60 or 4k30?

[@UdiShoots]

I use softbox lighting and I also do a bit of colour grading. Increasing contrast, saturation and even sharpness. I shoot 4k30. Use good lighting when indoors and it'll be sharper

[@colelife5092]

I am still using Samsung s10+ and still there is no reason to convince me to upgrade,, LOVE IT .I have had it since its release

[@UdiShoots]

Seems your S10+ is still in great condition. You should probably use it to swap to the S22+ while it still has value.

[@MubarakAlhassan]

Good content

[@fizzyarthur]

S10e owner here. I'm seriously considering getting an S10+, it's the last good phone with a headphone jack, and also cheap in the used market.

Old Flagship phones’ Camera always beat the the new midrange phones in terms of Quality. Nice review, by the way. 👍

Please Samsung Galaxy devices doesn't use LCD displays.... They're all dynamic AMOLED 🤝

[@XLGaming]

I'm impressed how well the S10s have held up over time. They are 5 years old, and they don't feel sluggish like older phones used to. The display quality and cameras are still great, even today when there are crazy phones like the S24 ultra and its extreme specs.

[@AlabaOdu]

I like this video a minute into it. I got a couple of questions for you 1. I'm finding it hard to get an original older flagship Samsung phone like S21 ultra, Where can you advice someone gets one? 2. What's the name of that football game you were playing in the video

[@UdiShoots]

There are many trusted vendors you can find on Instagram like aboki_gadgets, ogabassey, korreckgadgets, revenes. You can check those stores. For the football game that was dream league soccer 2024

[@MATTHEWNAVANEETH]

Bro I'm using it with custom roms , It's really fine & great device in 2024

[@azkhap]

i still use my galaxy note 8 and note 10+ and it still great

[@arduinoatolyem2121]

Flagship phones are the go-to for camera performance. I use a Galaxy S5 in 2024 and although it's 10 years old it destroys low end to low-midrange smartphones to this day. Even though the performance on most apps suck, it can record 4k 30fps with HDR when low end phones can only record a quote on quote "1080p" 30 fps smudge. It can also record 120fps at 1080p even with HDR!! The performance on most apps suck and it's on Android 6.0.1 so not a lot of support for apps but i can play Real Racing 3 at around 25 to 30fps on the phone even though it's the base spec 2gb ram 16gb storage and 3G only model. It's also Exynos.

This phone actually perform better than current midrange phones, it can't compete with new flagship phones I agree, but it's way better than current midrange phones. I agree with you on the battery life though.

[@infinite-king2105]

I am thinking of buying the S10+ . I have a new Redmi 13 pro but i don't like the restrictions put on android 13 and 14 . It is currently running Android 14 Hyper OS . I play a lot of games and modify game files. But with android 13and 14 i cant do anything. So getting back to using Samsung is good. Since I used to use Samsung and Apple. Plus still plays a lot of games better

[@harinnn_h]

S10+ is good although it has on par performance with newer midranges nowadays and no longer has software updates, it is rlly a good alternative if ur looking for used flagship phones instead of newer midranges

[@udiptatalukdar116]

udi here

[@lazydazai6442]

I use a samsung MIDRANGE phone AKA a M series phone and i used it for 4 years it was launched back in 2020 and samsung provided software updates from android 9 to android 12 and when they stopped giving updates i simply installed Custom rom (lineage os) and it works more smoother than the samsung software i used to have back then and boi i tell u how much Better my battery life has gotten after installing the custom rom. So if you're buying an S10 pr s8 or s9 it's still worth it u can install custom rom which is well optimized and you're good to go for next 3 years. And because of the optimization the battery life will be drastically improve. And this mainstream devices will have their official rom pages unlike mine I installed unofficial version of custom rom which was meant for other phone in my phone but it still managed to run because of the same platform of chipsets.

[@R2Finesse]

Hey my first time on your channel. We are exactly in thesame situation and i just found a solution. I was strongly considering the s21 ultra but then the phone cost much more than it should. So i found the s21 fe to be the best alternative at a much cheaper price. I chose it over the base s21 vos it's going to get more additional software updates than even the s21 ultra. Potentially till 2026. So you'd have almost 3 years with without any problems. In terms of camera, s21 ultra is just slightly better than the FE and the FE has a 4500 mah battery😊

[@UdiShoots]

Nice one S21 FE is also a solid option. I just want the 10X telephoto

[@jeremyhughes734]

I'm enjoying my Redmi note 10 pro but I must say I like this phone and considered it that's why I'm checking out. Meanwhile seems like you're jw.❤

[@ShadrackAfful-rf7gi]

Please how much will it cost With the brand new phone

[@davideiwinosa4642]

Yes I would, as a content creator I would definitely go for the s10plus because of the better camera.

[@UdiShoots]

👍🏾

[@edwardthecar2300]

i'm an s21 ultra user and i can vouch for older flagships over new midrance/budget phone but i wouldn't go older than S20 or S21 siries my recomendation is a used S21 FE as it's a really good phone for the price and preforms like the s21+ as well as having 2 years of new software support left as of Q1 2024

It remains absolutely pocket -friendly vs. The new A55--4k video recording is only 30 fps vs. S10+ 4k 60 fps.

If you're considering the A55 I'd suggest you go for the S21 Ultra instead
