The screen is big and vivid, and yet the phone itself is reasonably compact, making it easy to grasp. The S10 offers an insane amount of real estate thanks to its holepunch design. The two front-facing selfie cameras are rich and precise, while the constellation of rear-facing cameras produce some uniquely amazing quality shots.
