Choosing an S10

eidairaman1 · May 11, 2019

Id say truly S10E.

Dont trust huawei.

I wanted to add, that Exynos variety of S10 can be unlocked (bootloader) : LINK.
As for P30 : I had to make a choise too a month ago between it and S10.
I went for S10 (Exynos, I live in EU), because P30 doesn't have microSD slot (it has Huawei "thing" which is incompatible with it), and camera wasn't my #1 priority when choosing a phone.
I bought UAG Monarch case and I'm happy with the result so far

Biggest issue :
You are locked to one resolution on photos, for each type of aspect ratio.
Available options :
1:1 = 3024x3024
16:9 = 4032x2268
19:9 = 4032x1908
4:3 = 4032x3024
Videos don't have this limitation, however you can't do 16:9 720p 60FPS/120FPS or 1440p (30FPS/60FPS).
Only other options are 1:1 (1440x1440) or Full Screen (2280x1080).

just because you can afford it, doesn't make it an intelligent buy does it. Phones are so over the top now, and will get worse, as there are plenty of schmucks who will pay the over inflated prices. yes it is just a phone, whether it can be used for other stuff or not. a laptop with a sim in it is not a phone is it?

The p30 is better than the s10 by far, so was the p20, huawei have surpassed samsung now imo

Haha P30 better than s10+... Pull the other one. It has a marginally better camera setup and that's it, in every other aspect the s10+ outclasses it as just about every reputable review site will confirm.

If you want the best you pay for it and there's nothing "schmuck" about that.

Doesn't unlocking bootloader trigger Knox flag which voids your warranty? I recall hearing about it somewhere.

dgianstefani · May 11, 2019

Doesn't necessarily void warranty but you can't use features such as Samsung or Google pay afterwards.

Now that he has deleted his posts, our remarks dont make sense anymore...
Nevermind,
unlocking bootloader does trip knox, but the benefits of custom recovery and root outweigh the app restrictions such as google pay. And these checks can be worked around with magisk and xposed.

dgianstefani · May 11, 2019

No they can't. Currently there is no way to get Google or Samsung pay to work on an s10 with tripped knox.

Tripping knox=NO warranty. Why you would do this on such a new and expensive device is beyond me.
