The OnePlus 6T is unquestionably the better-value choice here, so if you’re looking for a good deal on a high-performance smartphone then it is certainly a very solid option. The S10 will - we think - set the benchmark for other flagship phones in 2019, so if you want the latest and greatest this is where you will find it.
The Galaxy S10 is a fitting 10th anniversary phone for Samsung and its storied S series. It delivers on change with a novel-looking Infinity-O screen so large it displaces the front camera, and a triple-lens rear camera that takes ultra-wide photos. Its in-screen fingerprint sensor tech should serve you well, while its Wireless Power-share could serve your friends well. That’s a lot of change – just know that it comes at a high price.

The top of the line Galaxy S10 and S10+ offer a significant upgrade over their predecessors, with in-display fingerprint sensors, rear-mounted triple camera setups and reverse wireless charging support. The Galaxy S10e, on the other hand, marks the first time Samsung has added an "affordable" model to its flagship Samsung Galaxy S lineup, as it follows in the footsteps of Apple's iPhone XR.
Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy S10 at its Unpacked event just before MWC and we were very impressed when we got our hands on it. We’ve compared it to one of last year’s top smartphones, the OnePlus 6T. Announced on 6 November 2018, we are so fond of the OnePlus 6T (reviewed) that it continues to ride high in our best smartphones chart.
Design
The S10's design has evolved when compared to the Galaxy S9, although the familiar Galaxy design language remains evident throughout the device’s overall look and feel. It has a smaller screen than the OnePlus 6T (6.1in against 6.4in), so is naturally a more compact device at 70.4x150x7.8mm and 157g. Also helping here, though, is the very high screen-to-body ratio of 93.1 percent, achieved by slimming down the bezels and using a punch-hole rather than a notch to house the selfie camera at the top corner of the display. Nice extra features include IP68 waterproofing (the OnePlus 6T is merely splashproof) and the fact this is one of the few flagship phones to retain its headphone jack (OnePlus 6T does not have such a feature).
Galaxy S10 looks as though it's all screen, with only the smallest of bezels flanking the display. The rear is also encased in glass, which has enabled Samsung to offer fast wireless charging. OnePlus 6T uses a similar front and rear glass design, but does not support wireless charging.
In this latest revision OnePlus has reduced its screen notch with a new waterdrop-style version for housing the selfie camera. It otherwise looks a lot like the OnePlus 6 (we’ve compared them both here). The 6T measures 75.4x155.7x7.75mm, making it slightly larger and also heavier at 177g, but we don't think the difference between the two will be hugely noticeable.
