![]() ![]() The S10 does have the same shortcoming I experienced with the S10 Plus. Oh, and whaddaya know - there’s a headphone jack too if you still want to plug in the old way. I’d have preferred to see two front-facing speakers like on the Pixel 3 or the Razer Phone 2, but the sound on the S10 is plenty loud. The gorgeous screen is paired with great audio from the Dolby Atmos-supported stereo speakers. The screen is bright and easy to read in direct sunlight - just look how it eclipses the Google Pixel 3 XL in the picture above. I can attest that the screen is crisp, especially when you set it to the Wide QHD+ (3,040 x 1,440) resolution (it’s on Full HD+ by default). It’s the first screen to be HDR10+ certified. The screen technology is new on the S10 Samsung calls it a “Dynamic AMOLED” display. ![]() Top: Pixel 3, Bottom: Galaxy S10 Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends ![]() That doesn’t work for all videos on YouTube though, as it depends on the aspect ratio the video was filmed in. YouTube, for example, lets you watch a full-screen video that goes edge-to-edge on the S10, which looks more immersive, but Netflix has yet to add support. It’d be nice if full-screen apps adapted to make use of the screen space. You end up with a thicker bezel on the side with the selfie camera in games such as Alto’s Odyssey. Third-party apps don’t wrap around the hole-punch camera, but use a black bar that ruins the symmetry of the bezels. It’s a bit of a different story when you swap to landscape orientation, as the screen looks a little funky. The status bar is now a little bigger thanks to the hole-punch camera, but most apps look good in portrait orientation, and I never found the floating camera to be distracting. I think it looks a lot better than the notch on phones like the iPhone XS, though a true full-screen experience would obviously be ideal (like on the Oppo Find X). This is what allows the camera to float on the display, like a hole punch in a piece of paper. The bezels are razor-thin thanks to the new “hole-punch” Infinity-O display from Samsung, where a laser cuts out a small hole at the top right of the screen without damaging the pixels. ![]() Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 price: here’s exactly how much it costs The best apps for a second phone number: our 10 favorites The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far ![]()
