First, some background. Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus is the largest and most advanced of the three mainstream Galaxy S10 phones that will go on sale March 8. If that sounds like a lot of qualifications to place on what's shaping up to be a real killer device in 2019, you're onto something. Compared to the more feature-packed Galaxy S10 5G and the foldable Galaxy Fold that Samsung also announced this week, the Galaxy S10 Plus might pale in comparison. Don't be so hasty. 5G and foldable mark the future, but the Galaxy S10 Plus is a phone for the present.

I'm really enjoying using the S10 Plus, with a few caveats. The ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader and I are having some tension, but Samsung says a software fix will cure it. And the tons of camera features and I are still circling each other, trying to decide if we're frenemies or just fast friends. I was disappointed by some low-light photos I took tonight, compared to another phone with a dedicated night mode. But battery life proved itself sensational, which gives me 100 percent confidence that it can last these long conference days and nights.
