Am really torn between an S10+ and the P30 Pro. A few questions for S10+ users if that is ok? Coming from a OnePlus 3

How long does it take to charge the phone up to 80% or so?

Is the clarity of the screen really that much better than 1080 on the p30?

I am not a heavy camera user but do appreciate good photos, will I be satisfied?

Is bixby still annoying?

Do you find the UI easy to use in comparison to say OxegenOS?

Thanks

I can't answer every question as I didn't have a OnePlus, but it takes me just under 2 hours to charge the S10+ from around 6%. The camera is an upgrade on the S9, though that probably won't mean much. As for Bixby, it's as annoying as you want it to be. I find the routines handy, I use it for taking a screenshot or selfie, but not much else, and as such it doesn't really interfere with my use of the phone.

I find the UI simple to use but I'm a long-time Samsung user.

60mb update to a biometric app from the galaxy store today.

Hopefully this will improve the terrible fingerprint scanner.

Since getting the update I'm finding the fingerprint scanner is working so much better

Anyone else have an issue with lock screen notifications? Some appear on the lock screen like email or SMS. WhatsApp doesn't. I get the notification noise and the pop up if the phone is unlocked.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling WhatsApp.

A80 was one of them, the one with the rotating slide up cameras. I think the other was the A70 which looks like a replacement for the A50.

Surprised no posts on this. A10, A20, A30 etc right up to A80. Some of them competing with Xiaomi price range. Great battery life, mid range processors. Some available now, some in a few weeks time. But that's for another thread.

I've an A50 on the way for the Ma. Looks decent for 280 quid.

Just picked up my S10 yesterday. Loving it so far, quite the upgrade from the S7. Mighty phone. Battery no real difference to the S7 mind you.

It should work once you have the slider on within notifications from settings.

Are you seeing the app icon even on the lock screen?

Nope. Nothing from WhatsApp when its locked except the message ringtone. Tried turning off the always on display and that didnt work either

I have broken the screen on my Nokia 8 and am considering an S10e as a replacement.

Anyone on here with a 10e that can offer an opinion, likes, dislikes, problems or niggles?

I have seen some guides on YouTube which suggest that it is pretty straightforward to set it up with a launcher and replicate the feel of pure Android so that it will feel like the Nokia or a Pixel. Anyone else done that?

Also thinking of getting the official clear view cover to give the phone a bit of protection against scratches as I tend to keep it in my pocket during the day but I don't know if it would be any good in the event of a fall. Any recommendations?

PTH2009 · 19-04-2019 05:52PM

Anyone finding any differences between charging Wirelessly or by cable in terms of Battery life ?

Find mine lasts longer when I cable charge but might have the phone positioned slightly wrong on the wireless pad

Thinking of buying one of those dual wireless chargers so I can charge both the phone and the galaxy bugs at the same time. Hoping they might be one in the sales

Small issue, but does anyone know how to auto-arrange icons? I prefer to have them in alphabetical order, but can't seem to find the setting, I'm sure there was one on the s8...

I'm the same. Open up the thing with all the apps, tap on the 3 dots in the search bar and the first option is sort. Alphabetically is an option there.

My WhatsApp issue seems to have been solved by uninstalling, restarting the phone and re-installing WhatsApp.

I love you. I never thought to click on the search bar!

I have an S7 currently, would you recommend upgrading? There's nothing really wrong with my phone right now but I'm tempted to go for the S10, mainly for the camera.

chases0102 · 23-04-2019 10:11AM

I would recommend it, yes.

There's enough of an upgrade between the two phones to merit it, for me. The Camera is fantastic, main reason why I bought the phone.

Was looking at the S10E and S10 was thinking of going for the S10E since it doesn't have the edge screen like the S10, Managed to do a comparison on the two of them and all I can see different is the RAM and screen size.
Am I missing anything ?

You'll also be without the zoom lens which may or may not be a deal breaker for you.
And the onscreen finger print sensor will be missing on the S10e, with a finger print sensor to the side.

Do-more · 24-04-2019 06:31AM

The other difference is with battery size. From reading reviews it seems like it is just OK on the 10e so if you are a heavy user especially with games or video it could be a problem. The fast charging might overcome that but I would be concerned as to what impact that would have on battery life long term.

I have just bit the bullet on a 10e myself and hope it will get delivered today.

It will take me some days to get a decent impression of it and longer than that for the battery to bed in and see how it performs, but I will update the thread with my impressions in a week or so.

After using the on screen one for the last month and a half, I'm not sure that's bad thing

rizzee · 24-04-2019 09:50AM

Gsmarena actually gives the S10e a better battery life over the standard S10 (83hrs Vs 79hrs endurance ratings , it's also mentioned in the review)

https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9537&idPhone2=9536

Wil be different for everyone depending on their usage.

Duff · 24-04-2019 11:05AM

How are people finding the battery on the S10+? I've he S8 two years now and the battery is shot, and have an upgrade next month and planning on the S10+.

Very glad I didn't get a S10 or S10+ so!

Pretty good out of the box. Following the guide posted earlier in this thread from XDA, amazing! Get between 6 and 8 hours of SoT depending on how much I use it, and it always gets me through the day.

My S8 was shot too when I traded it in, you'll notice a big difference for sure.

Just what I wanted to hear. Cheers!

Thanks for all the replies I should have mentioned I be up grading from the S6 :eek: Another reason why I'm looking at the S10E is that it has the same kind of screen like the S6 also is there a new charger for the new models?

From the S8 on they're USB-C.

Thinking about getting the 10+ now myself too with the work upgrade. I'd really love to have the camera on the P30 Pro but most of what I've read had said aside from the camera it's a dose to use because of the software. The S10+ looks to be the only real other option Vodafone has. How have people found the camera on it overall?

SuprSi · 26-04-2019 06:44AM

I love it. I mean, I can't compare it with anything except the S9 I previously owned, but I've been visiting various national parks around Ireland this week and have taken some amazing shots, particularly with the wide angle lens.

My wife also has one and loves the camera too.
