Got my S10 5G the day before yesterday. It's the international unlocked version. Here some observations for those who are considering getting it too:

It's single SIM - no dual SIM version on the horizon. Despite this, the software seems to be the same, as you can still install dual messengers etc - which doesn't make a huge lot of sense.

The phone doesn't seem to have a GSM radio, even though it can be set to 5G, 4G, 3G, GSM mode in the menu. In areas where there's only GSM here (the forest, mainly), I get no signal.

The depth-sensing camera is fantastic!

Battery life is excellent too (I had the S10+ exynos, which was catastrophically bad).

The phone gets very hot (OK, it was 94 here today, but still).

5G works :-) not much coverage yet, but I did a quick speed test and got around 200mbit/s out of it. That was in Zurich

It's much faster than my previous S10+ Exynos - they must have fixed whatever was holding that one back

Anyway, that's it for now :-)
 
Thanks on the feedback
