Software to track smartphone Galaxy S10

Its large size and The vision of achieving a full-screen design has its drawbacks , and Samsung needs to put more effort into improving its palm rejection technology. Flip it around, and the back of the S10 Plus is the cleanest-looking Samsung phone in existence. It has three cameras now, placed horizontally like on the Galaxy Note 9.

Wait, so where did the fingerprint sensor go? This offers better anti-spoofing measures than traditional optical sensors, which rely on an image of a fingerprint. There are machine-learning algorithms in place to prevent spoofing, and the fingerprint data never leaves the device. But face unlock is not as secure — it can be triggered with just a picture of your face.

The S10 Plus is tall and difficult to use one-handed. I wish the volume rocker and power button were a little farther down, as it would make it easier to reach. Handling the 6. Encasing it to protect the phone from cracks is a good idea. I should note there are two special editions that use a different material. These phones feel far more luxurious than the all-glass models, offering better durability and scratch resistance. You can even charge the phone via the USB-C port and listen to music at the same time!

What the Galaxy S10 Plus has — and the smaller S10 lacks — is a vapor chamber cooling system to keep the phone from overheating while you perform intensive tasks, like heavy gaming. The Galaxy S10 Plus ran cool in my time of use, though it did get a little warm after using the camera non-stop for 15 minutes straight. Either way, this phone is a beast and it will run anything and everything you want.

It looks good and is more intuitive as it places crucial interface elements toward the bottom of the screen for easy access. I also am a fan of the darker themes to help protect my eyes when using the phone at night.

There are some neat little touches, like how a light circles the hole-punch camera when you swap to selfie mode or when the camera is trying to find your face to unlock the phone. The software is also deeply customizable — you can completely get rid of the traditional Android navigation bar if you want, for example — affording everyone the option to personalize their phone. The unlocked version of the Galaxy S9 only just got Android 9 Pie — six months after Google released it, which is disappointing. However, U. You can set the button to open another app, for example, but a double press will still open Bixby and vice versa.

This makes the camera versatile. Want a close-up? Use the telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom. Need to capture a group picture or a landscape? Swap to the ultra-wide-angle lens. Transitioning between these is fast and fluid — either tap on the respective lens icons or just pinch in or out within the camera viewfinder and the phone will automatically swap to the relevant lens.

Photos captured in the daytime are detailed and colorful. The cameras tend to lack contrast however, so photos can look washed out. In low-light environments, the Galaxy S10 Plus holds its own, but the lack of any night mode — as seen on the Pixel 3 with Night Sight or the Mate 20 Pro with Night mode — means photos fall short. While on vacation in Lisbon I used the wide-angle lens to capture the narrow alleyways of the city.

Scene Optimizer uses artificial intelligence to automatically detect scenes like sunsets or people and attempts to adjust your photo to what it thinks looks best. I left it on for most of our testing, and it did help images pop, but can also lead to oversaturation at times. It eliminates the need to tap the shutter button completely. The compositions it suggests are usually solid, though a few poor choices slip in.

I do like the new Live Focus mode called Color Point, which keeps the subject in color while making everything else black and white. It does a surprisingly good job maintaining color on a subject, offering a cool effect. With that said, there are a few nifty improvements fans can look forward to. One UI 2 wants you to be less distracted when being productive or just playing the latest and greatest games from the Google Play Store. You stay focused while enjoying your favourite content in full screen and never miss any essential information.

Dark mode has also been souped up with One UI 2 — now it will automatically adjust the brightness of images, text and colours on a display to reduce the strain on your eyes. Focus mode lets you pause apps temporarily for times when you need to minimise distractions and get in the zone.

By tracking usage, managing screen time or enabling Focus mode to minimise distractions, users can ensure they are being efficient.
