NOVEMBER 2019 • TECH ADVISOR 21REVIEWthe S10 5G on Vodafone’s sparkly new 5G network to
determine whether it’s worth it or whether you should a
cheaper, still excellent, regular S10 or S10+.Price
The S10 5G is available direct from Samsung for £1,099
locked to either Vodafone or EE in the UK. This gets
you 256GB storage and a phone in silver or black.
Vodafone offers the S10 5G from £72 per month and
£29 up front at fave.co/30VkJZw. EE’s prices start at
£69 per month – see fave.co/32MoOBd. It’s the most
expensive monthly EE plan for a 5G phone, with the
Oppo Reno 5G the cheapest at £49 a month.
If you’re comparing the phone to the 4G line-up
of S10 devices then the S10+ costs a full £300 less.
It has a slightly smaller display and battery, one less
camera and 4G connectivity.Bigger, but is it better?
The S10 5G is a large phone with a 6.7in display, but
boy oh boy does that display look incredible. As long
as you’re not irked by the two cameras in the cut-out
at the top right, then it’s practically bezel-less too.
Perhaps it’s because I have become used to
large phones, but even with my small hands I didn’t
find it too enormous, something I can’t say for the
OnePlus 7 Pro.
That said the screen does lack the 90Hz refresh
rate of the 7 Pro, but Samsung’s is right up there with
OnePlus in terms of vibrancy, colour and viewing
angles. It’s also the best phone screen for viewability
in direct sunlight, there’s no competition.NOVEMBER 2019 • TECH ADVISOR 21REVIEWthe S10 5G on Vodafone’s sparkly new 5G network to
