I generally go back to my iPhone X after reviewing a new phone, but the Galaxy S10 Plus will be staying with ne for some time. It is priced at £999 though, making it the most expensive phone in the history of the Galaxy S-line. Keep in mind there’s also the smaller Galaxy S10 (£899), as well as the Galaxy S10e (£669), which we’ll be looking at soon if you want slightly more affordable options from Samsung (there are also plenty of great phones that cost far less if you’re on a budget).
