Chuksteric: The camera on this will receive some good bashing soon .. Nice video.. The focus is misbehaving because of the close distance
O ye of Little faith! Lol. On first viewing, the quality appears to be very similar to the S10+. Only taken an indoor shot at this time. When i get to try it outdoors extensively, I'll know for sure.
oneroflo57: Good day boss, i have also had to fix s8+ screen and back,spend over 100k last year. Now i got the s10+ but I'm using it with as much care as possible... please i would like to get 1 of these AIG cases... did you get yours in nigeria? If yes,how and where? Thanks
Lol. AIG ko. AxaMansard ni .
Just kidding. Doubt that's sold anywhere in Nigeria and it's UAG. I believe their website ships worldwide. When last i checked anyways. Google 'UAG' and hit up their website. God Speed.
KingOfAllIgbos: Yeah. Spigens are practically gold standards for cases.
But for me, i really place a high premium on wrap-around cases i.e. wallet cases that cover the screen.
I just can't settle for less.
I am often careless dropping phones and the screen is the most vulnerable part of the phone for me.
You are lucky to have the Oneplus7 Pro. But in your opinion, at that pricepoint, is it worth having instead of an ubiquitous Samsung?
I never actually thought i was upgrading. It's more of a side-grade to me. The OnePlus in truth isn't SO MUCH better than the S10+. However, if I was buying a phone today... I'll go for the OP7 Pro. And yh, i think you get more value for the lowest spec OP 7 Pro. For me, i just want the maximum RAM lol.
KingOfAllIgbos: Wow. Just last week, i started investigating this phone with these specs and this particular colour.
I prefer it to the Black and the Almond variants.
My fear is just that online, i have not seen sturdy enough wallet cases.
I broke my Samsung S8 screen and paid 80k for the screen, since then, i use Urban Armour (UAG) wallet cases which are great!
Torn between buying this top of the range Nebula Blue at $750 vs just going for a Samsung with easily available accessories.
Lol. For what it's worth, i always opt for Spigen cases. In fact, dropped the S10+ twice in the Spigen Tough Armor case. No issues. That said, any of the devices would be a good choice.
EmrX: take it easy it's not a fight this dude gave his own review if you have any problem with that then drop urs instead of yabbing ya teeth...nonsense Dats just the problem with Nigerian Guy I can see you are new in the reviewing business keep up
Lol. Thank you. Just picked it up, always been interested in video editing. Let me learn on the job. See the link above for my OP7 Pro unboxing.
samir101ng: I find that testing with a server based in the US gives a true reflection of the distance that a packet needs to travel in order to test the speed and latency. Using a locally based server in Abuja or Lagos is not gonna be accurate in my opinion as there is no major webserver based here that your connection will be downloading/uploading to. The screenshot is the speed I consistently get in my area. I guess the base station must have a fibre hardline to it.
Hmmnn.... Never actually thought about it this way. But that makes sense. That said, knowing the MAXIMUM speed of your connection should be to a close by server tho
ayando: I will be waiting for your hands-on review on the beast. By the way, that camera won't just focus except for the latter part of the video where I was able to see 'never settle'.
Congratulations.
Lol. Camera needs to be at a farther distance. I think. Eitherway, I'm overall happy with the videos for what I'm working with. Can't compare cameras that costs 100s of $ to 10s of thousands. No?
Also, i think you need to watch the video at 720p least to enjoy it properly
sauceEEP: But what's with this focus bug on all your videos, maybe your camera needs little tweaking...... Is it me or what but the video ended abruptly so my rating is still 6/10 The phone is a beauty, i didn't see a tampered glass screen protector.
Lmao. 6/10 kee you there. Room for improvement is always good tho. If na 10/10 after only 2 videos... No need to do anything again nah.
No official TG at this time. I'll get it when it's available. I have pending orders for 6 and 6T TGs so I'll get all at once. Usually available around a month or so after release.
PhenomenalMorgan: I've heard a lot of praise for the 90Hz refresh rate of the display... Compare it next to another smartphone with a 60Hz display and give us your submission.
Lol. I shoot with the Lumix DMC GX85 primarily now and that can only catch 30Hz lol. My RX100 can only catch 60. Eitherway, can't show it in a video. In the review, I'll talk about it.
Boyco: Av always said dz abt samsung ...they don't try with der cameras at all ...its too bright and whiteish ...took pictures with my sis note9 of last year , and I was seriously disappointed...selfies was just bright, like I had to edit the picture to reduce d bright effect , thats y i pick iphone cameras above samsung cameras anyday ...samsung is excellent and all BT they always flop in der camera , it only tops in lowlight shots nd thats it ...am disappointed to hear s10plus camera too is bright , just like I feared...if samsung can use apples camera or google camera , then they would be the best phone company for more years to come
Well said, I don't really rate iPhone cameras however, it's production is consistent across the board. It's hardly ever the best, but then it's hardly ever the worst. iPhones has consistent shooting experience. That said, GCam would do wonders to the S10's camera.
MrBONE2: I really enjoyed the objective debate which my fellow BoneBeings hayaaf put up here and thank you all atleast i hayaaf learnt something useful here
emmylad4: Lol, you can't just upload videos about smartphone on YouTube and start calling yourself YouTube techies', you're really showing your level of mediocrity. so iPhone Xs and Huawei p30pro camera is better than Samsung, common.. You are really funny, I have come to realize that arguing with you so called 'youtube techies' on nairaland doesn't do me any good cos you choose to believe what you want to believe.. Huawei only beat the s10plus in night shoot( and even the s10plus takes better night shoots with less noise with the recent upgrade, I bet you don't know what noise is) and 50x zoom that is not really needed in a phone except if you're a spy... The iPhone Xs?? Night shoots is awful, no wide-angle camera, no 4K video shoot, you want me to continue?? Only the pixel 3 makes a better opponent with Google's nearly perfect camera software, but it still doesn't better daylight photos with details like the s10plus even the 40mp in p30pro doesn't..phones are not judged by one factor alone but overall performance, and that's where Samsung takes the win, night shoots, dynamic range, detailed shoots e.t.c...but mediocre Nigerian YouTubers like you don't know, you praise the Huawei p30pro zoom capabilities as if you are buying a phone to serve as a periscope...and check professional smartphone photographers reviews, that will help you alot, not all the pictures you take and you start bluffing rubbish about them here when you literally no nothing...check certified websites like gsmarena, phonearena too, they will help you alot before you start claiming you are a phone reviewer.
And you also claim some smartphone companies pays dxomark for their ranking, then indirectly you must be talking of Huawei. During the launching of p30pro, it was claimed that the phone can bring the moon to your disposal with the 50x lossless zoom, but it was recently discovered that the moon pictures was already coded with algorithms to automatically display the moon pictures when the camera is zoomed to snap the moon, and so you think you are really snapping the moon. How ridiculous?? You people really need to step up your game, and give praise to whom praise is deserved. Telling me iPhone Xs or Huawei p30pro camera is better than S10+?? Bullcrap!!!
I'll ask a simple question. How many of these devices have you tried YOURSELF?! Like in your hand. Take pictures with it and stuff.
Telvin7: wtf is this one saying .. the main camera on the Huawei p30 pro has more detail than the one on the S10+ ..... Compare the S10+ with the p20 pro....
ayando: I like your write up but didn't enjoy the video presentation. Good you know yourself. Well done. Have watched some reviews where Huawei p30 pro was placed ahead of Google pixel 3 ,and at the same time vice versa in other reviews. I think the zooming capacity is the one edge over pixel or what do you think?
There are many cameras more flexible than the Pixel 3XL. S10 with the Ultra-wide, P30 Pro with the Zoom.
But in terms of actual photo quality and processing algorithms. Nobody does it better than Google. Same scenario, no UltraWide, No 100 million times creep mode zoom. The Pixel 3 XL can't be beat. It's hard.
I did see a review that said S10+ was better than the 3XL. But I have both phones and the S10 can't hold a torch close to it. Only just has better dynamic range.
If photo quality is your thing in a smartphone, you just have to pick the Pixel. Pixels really don't do anything else fantastic. Just camera and fast updates.
