REVIEW: Samsung S10+

Our features writer Fundiswa Nkwanyana got the chance to use the Samsung S10+ for two weeks. She tells us about her experience and what she liked about it.

FIRST IMPRESSION

When I first saw the Samsung S10+, I was impressed by its 6.4 inch screen with a perfect screen to body ratio. But, it took me a while to get comfortable holding it because my hands are small and the phone quite big. When I started playing around with it, I loved that the screen was crystal clear, and moving between the apps was fast. I got excited when I saw the three cameras at the back and two in front because that meant loads of Instagram-worthy pictures!

The different-sized camera lenses at the back and front helped me take crisp and clear pictures that I didn’t have to edit because they came out ready to upload on social media. The lenses made a huge difference to the quality. I enjoyed the live focus feature when taking pictures because I could play around with the background effects. Some of the other features that I loved were the fast battery charging, fingerprint sensor, water-resistance feature and the GIF creator from videos. The cellphone was really easy to use.
