The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is a fantastic beast of a phone

After emerging from a massive corruption scandal and the exploding Note 7 phone fiasco, Samsung has been on a tear in recent years. The company should have been losing market share to competitors whose phones did not blow up, or whose executives were not at the center of a government crisis. Instead, Samsung produced a string of excellent phones that includes its most recent launch: the Galaxy S10.

Announced at a 10-year celebration of Galaxy phones in San Francisco in February, the S10 actually encompasses four Galaxy S models: the standard S10, a smaller, more affordable S10e, the larger S10+, and the giant S10 5G. Quartz spent the past month (off and on) living with the S10+ to see if it holds up to previous models. Here’s what we found.

What’s good
The camera is great. As has become the norm for Samsung smartphones in recent years, the S10+ has a wonderful camera setup. It features three cameras on the rear, including a 16-megapixel super-wide-angle camera, as well as a regular wide-angle and a telephoto camera (both of which are 12 megapixels). These combine to let you pick up vivid colors and sharp detail in photos, and produce some interesting depth-of-focus tricks. You can also change how much you want the background blurred after you’ve taken a photo (more on that below).
