Every time Samsung launches a new phone, I find myself saying the same thing: Really nice design, lots of cool features but also some bonkers stuff you’ll never use, all marred by Samsung’s overwrought software that turns Android into something cartoonish and complicated.

The Galaxy S10 has me singing a different tune.

Samsung’s still great at the hardware thing: The S10 is a well designed, high-end smartphone with great cameras, impressive battery life, first-rate performance, a headphone jack and a lovely display. It has more cool features than ever (even if some are still decidedly bonkers). And for the first time, Samsung pairs all the Galaxy’s prowess with thoughtful, usable software.

Even with a few remaining quirks, this is my favorite Samsung phone by a mile. It’s also the new gold standard in Android—blowing past Google’s Pixel 3. Sure, it doesn’t fold in half, like Samsung’s upcoming early-adopter special. But I don’t think any of the first wave of folding phones could beat the Galaxy S10.
