Samsung has engineered its Galaxy S10 in way that is well ahead of Google, OnePlus, in terms of design and aesthetics.

The Galaxy has a 6.1-inch high-resolution, Infinity-O OLED panel and offers great viewing angles. And as Samsung is best when it comes to displays, the Galaxy S10 is no exception.
