I saw some videos on youtube where the reviewers said the cigar shape hole of the s10+ is nearly unbearable with most wallpapers or when watching videos full screen, the s10 smaller punch hole is more discreet and acceptable.
I am already suffering from the small notch of the 6T, pushing me to choose wallpapers with dark upper part, so the s10 is not a bad idea after all, but in another side the battery of the s10+ is much better no?
Anyone has both to compare SOT with the same usage?
I had the S10 since 2 days before launch and just switched to the S10+ this Monday. In the 3 days I've used the S10+, I don't regret my decision one bit. My battery usage patterns haven't even been optimized yet and I'm already seeing significantly better battery life with my S10+.
With my S10, I would have to charge later in the afternoon on a heavier day. On a work day, I usually got through fine. But the reason for that is that I can't use my phone while I'm at work. I only use it on my breaks. So on those days it would last until I went to bed. With the S10+ I can get through any day, work or not, with no problem at all.
Idle time is better, SOT is better, and overall battery life is better. And not just better, but significantly better. It's definitely worth it imo. I initially got the S10 because I wasn't a big fan of the pill shape cutout and I wanted a smaller phone. Well it turns out that the S10+ doesn't even feel that much larger to me and I've already tuned out the pill shape cutout. It doesn't bother me like I thought it would.
As far as the topic of this thread, I came from a Note 9 and I also don't regret that decision one bit. Even though the battery capacity was pretty much the same, I'm getting better battery life with my S10+. I'm attributing it to the Snapdragon 855.
Good luck with whatever decision you make!
