The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus: A Camera Review and Test

As I began my review of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, I couldn't help but think about how much I would appreciate having three cameras on this device. For me, there are three different focal lengths that I find particularly useful - an ultra-wide angle lens, a normal wide-angle lens, and a 2x telephoto lens. This versatility has been a game-changer for me when it comes to taking photos, as it allows me to have more options and flexibility when shooting different scenes.

I was excited to test the camera on this device in various settings, from indoor studio shots to outdoor testing. The camera app itself is easy to navigate, with a selector at the bottom that allows me to choose between the different lenses. I also appreciated how seamless the transition was between each of these lenses - it felt like using a real camera. For example, when switching from the ultra-wide lens to the normal wide-angle lens, the image quality remained consistent and unobtrusive.

One of my favorite features of this camera is its ability to capture unique perspectives and shots that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a traditional single-lens setup. The ultra-wide angle lens, in particular, has been a revelation for me - it allows me to capture expansive scenes and add context to my photos in ways that I never thought possible.

But the fun didn't stop there - I was invited to an event by T-Mobile to test the camera on this device in real-world scenarios. And what better way to do that than by skydiving over New York City?! The thrill of flying through the air at 10,000 feet while taking photos is exhilarating, to say the least. The camera performed admirably, capturing stunning images despite the wind and turbulence.

After the skydiving adventure, I headed back to Brooklyn to take some more photos and test the camera's low-light capabilities. I also wanted to discuss my thoughts on night mode, a feature that has become increasingly popular in recent years. While night mode works beautifully on many devices, including Huawei and Pixel phones, I couldn't help but feel that the S10 Plus is missing out on this important feature.

Instead of having a dedicated night mode button, the camera relies on the Scene Optimizer feature to adjust settings based on what's being photographed. This can be useful in certain situations, but I often find myself wishing for more control over the camera's behavior in low-light conditions. A dedicated night mode would allow me to make specific adjustments and get the results I want.

Despite this limitation, the S10 Plus still takes excellent photos - especially when compared to previous models like the S9 and Note 9. The design of the phone itself is also a major plus, with a sleek and premium feel that makes it stand out in a crowded market.

As always, I want to thank my viewers for watching and subscribing to my channel. If you haven't already, please check out some of the photos from this review on social media - where I compared the camera performance of various devices, including this S10 Plus.

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed smartphone. While it may not be the best camera in every aspect, its versatility and design make up for it.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right today I think we're gonna try to do a real-world camera test of the s10 plus so what that means is I'm gonna kind of run around and do my normal day and the things that I have to do today but take photos with the phone along the way do videos compare it to other phones that are flagships that it would compete with and just kind of see how it does but first copy and what we're heading to get call me really quick I need a shout out to the sponsor of this video trade trade Moore is a super fast and easy way to sell your news electronics just head to

this coffee check ok so now we're gonna test out the camera on some close-ups here of like my coffee and my croissant it's cloudy out so we have really good lighting here this is probably a very easy test but it is a little bluer in here and then probably normal let's use the s10 plus and compare it to some of the other flagships out there and see how they okay and there we go we're gonna head to the office now though cuz I have a little bit of work to do but we can test the camera there as well and then there's an event this afternoon the t-mobile invited me to that I think will be a really good way to test the video game candidates under work but really quick want to explain some of the camera on this s10 plus so we have three cameras now which I appreciate for me there are three different focal lengths one is ultra wide one is kind of a normal wide angle that we're used to and then one is it two times telephoto now the thing I appreciate about this is that it very much resembles when I have a lens on like a real camera I have three different options now of lenses to be able to shoot different shots with so if I want something that's ultra wide I can do that and then maybe there's a different shot within that that is a normal angle and then there's something I want to focus in on that's a telephone it just gives me a lot more options and the same with it having like a zoom lens or multiple lenses for my mirrorless camera or my DSLR does as well the cameras acted pretty easy to go through each of these there is a selector at the bottom out with like a whole forest two trees and a leaf now my way work has a rooftop that's not really open right now because it's winter mode but we're gonna head up there really quick and let's see what the wide camera looks like compared to some other wide camera that I happen at okay now let's head to that t-mobile event apparently t-mobile is gonna let us skydive in the middle of New York t-mobile apparently celebrating the launch of the galaxy s 10 so this is very appropriate that we test the video camera in the wind tunnel right okay that was nuts so much fun Thank You t-mobile for letting me do that and testing the camera in such a great way I think right very normal everyday activity but now I'm gonna head back to Brooklyn and let's go take some more photos maybe some at night now that the sun's gone down let's see how this camera does tonight okay so while we're taking night shots I want to talk about something I think it's kind of so you know we have night mode in like night sight and all these other night low-light photography settings I use like long exposures and anti-shake stuff to get better photos at night well night mode works on huawei and you can actually select it it's an actual mode same thing for the pixel same thing for the one plus I believe this phone though doesn't have a separate mode for night mode which I kind of wish it did instead you have to turn on scene optimizer which is like that a eye thing that recognizes what you're taking a photo of and adjust the settings and then it has to determine that it's dark enough to use it and you'll get a little moon icon when that happens and then it takes the night shot I would much prefer if this had a mode for this because there's times when I think I want a long exposure and the camera doesn't agree and now I'm freezing so let's go inside somewhere and do one last test okay now where this restaurant let's do one last test the selfie cam there you go my camera test for the day I have to stop now because I actually have to go meet a friend for their birthday and celebrate that and I can't bring all this stuff it's just that's ridiculous but I think we I think this is long enough at this point no let me know what you guys think in the comments below personally myself I think it's a it does a great job the s tens camera is oh it's not the best on the market but this is kind of where Samsung's sweet spot is they're the Mario in all of the Mario games or you could choose other characters right like they're the all-around good at most things company the camera itself again is not the most amazing but then when you factor in like well the phone itself the design is awesome the battery may not be the best but it's good so they kind of check all those boxes like that I think that they've continued to do that with the s10 I do think it's a little bit better than the s9 and maybe the note 9 but you guys let me know again when you think though otherwise though if you guys are not already please subscribe and ding the bell nice to subscribe so you notify when I do new videos otherwise check me out on other social media I put a bunch of these photos up actually that are not in this video where I compared them and I didn't tell anybody what the photos were from like which phone they were from and then you guys kind of guess then it was kind of fun but if you want to go check that out I'm at the unlocker on Twitter on Instagram and Facebook check me out there otherwise though as always regardless thanks for watching youall right today I think we're gonna try to do a real-world
