Galaxy S10 is GOAT Samsung. Full screen design, three camera setup, expandable storage, headphone jack, fingerprint sensor under screen, edge display. Just doesn’t get any better.

S8,S9 & S10 is peak Samsung design. The S8 is probably my fav phone ever, it made me switch from iphone to android - the front looked amazing.

I WAS LIKE Obsessed with Glaxay S3 at that time I was a kid back thenn... THIS LITERALLY HEALS my inner child

Going from a samsung s3 mini to the s7 was like a whole new world opening up, don’t think there’ll be a feeling like that again with phones haha

01:33 I'm a Korean. Fun Fact, Externally, the 'S' may stand for "Super Smart," but originally, it wasn't so grand. The 'S' in Galaxy S stands for the first letter of "SK telecom." In South Korea, there are three major Carrier : KT, LG U+, and SK telecom. When the Galaxy was first released, it came out exclusively with SK telecom (SKT), hence the name Galaxy S. There are also models like Galaxy K (SHW-M130K) and Galaxy U (SHW-M130L). If Galaxy had been released exclusively with Verizon in the United States, it would likely have been named Galaxy V. haha.

The reason you felt Samsung play safe on S20 - 22 was because around the time they tried foldable phone. They needed to play safe on their flagship as they were going crazy with new form factor.

Woah, the S8 back then was a game changer, and this is the phone that brought me back to Samsung. And then, OneUI came and changes almost all of the things. Still on my favorite among them is S10 Plus 5G with all of the goodies like microSD, headphone jack, four cameras.

the SUPER battery saving mode on s5 was the best!! went full b&w, basic features, but would last FOREVER. i could go to sleep with 5% battery and be confident my alarm would go off & i could text the next morning

You forgot about the Universal Remote feature on the S5 & S6 phones. It was super clutch and I used to ALL THE TIME!!

I'm from Singapore and our version of S2 was a physical rectangular home button with 2 capacitive button. Even the camera was rectangular in shaped.

23:46 The galaxy S9 plus had a dual camera setup (main and f2.4 2x telephoto), so the S10 was not the first galaxy S with more than one camera! I think S10 had dual aperture as well? The heart rate sensor was present for many years too, S20 was where they removed it! Great video!!! I had S8 and S10 and loved them

I switched from iPhone to the s7 Edge when it came out, I was hooked on Samsung and on Android immediately. I loved that phone. I loved the s10+ I upgraded to even more and used that phone until it died, the s10 is still my favorite Samsung phone. I'm using an s23 Ultra now, another great device that can handle everything I throw at it (which is a lot) without any major issues.

The S8 and S9 gen having a physically moving touch screen home button was underrated!

28:51 Fun fact, the S9+ was actually the first samsung S phone with multiple rear cameras with a total of 2.

Wow, this made me nostalgic. My first phone was an S Duos, my second phone was a J5 and my third and current phone is an A20e. I still remember when all those news came out like the S6 edge. I'm only 20 years old, so this nostalgia feeling of something that still feels so new being old is new to me.

17:20 seeing him try to swipe up for all the apps then realise that didnt exist yet was hilarious

S10 will always be peak for me. It was the phone with the most, it had all the things the current phones have, like triple cameras, under screen fingerprint scanner etc. still had headphone jack, Micro sd card slot, the heart rate monitor and 1440p screen. Every model after this they slowly removed all these features... I really want a new phone with better cameras, but it's hard to let go of the s10 and lose all those features.

I can't believe you went through the s7 without going over it's ip68 rating. It really made that the normal for all phones now. Heck linus took it in the ocean during his review!

It's incredible how you kept me stuck on the screen for 45 minutes watching a video on the history of Samsung smartphones. I never had a Samsung phone, and I have ADHD, so congrats, you're VERY entertaining

My first smartphone was an S3 and I still have fond memories of it. Then I had an S5 a few years later, and now my current phone and the one I've been using the longest is an S9

Mistakes I noticed: - the S8 isn't the first galaxy S phone to have exynos, but it's the first in a while where the exynos is worse than the snapdragon - the S9 wasn't the last galaxy S phone to have dual aperture, the S10 series also had it - the S10e had the same charging speed as the S10 and S10+: 15W

The S6 model I used to have had an IR transmitter in it, which made it possible to control your TV (the phone could act as any remote). This was such a nice party trick to turn on a random TV on the streets.

Ive kept my Galaxy s6 edge all of these years to check in on from time to time because that one has still most impressive feel in the hand. Stunning convergence of engineering and materials.

HAAA! I AM SO HAPPY YOU MENTIONED THE HTC ONE M8!!!!! 😂 I miss that phone!! It was phenomenal for its time! So under-appreciated! I took a self-timed photo on that phone and still use it as my profile picture on a lot of apps😅

S9 plus was peak, notification LED, swipe down finger print reader, heart rate monitor, camera leap, headphone jack ❤ a gem

Man seeing the S4 again reminds me of that special era of the HTC One and the Moto X 😍

The death of the removable🔋battery went with the LG V20, which i'm watching this video on. 5.7in 16:9 screen. Wish that was still around. It was also 7.7mm thin. That's thin for a removable back phone.

Fantastic clarity. You are an amazing communicator Impressive!

I miss the days when Samsung phones had that unique design, they were truly one of a kind.

As an iPhone user since the 3GS, I feel the Galaxy s8 was the first time Samsung indisputably outshined apple, the insanely narrow bezels (for the time), home button removal and camera performance legitimately had me jealous. With the iPhone X’s release later the same year, 2017 really felt like the start of modern smartphones

Needed this before upgrading. Thank u.

I enjoyed this video alot... What a Rollercoaster of memories.... Good work man

I loved the IR blaster on my s5, I could control any TV anywhere whenever I wanted. It was glorious

13:46 The heart rate sensor stayed around until it got dropped when the S20 came out, six generations later, which was almost half the life of the Galaxy until then. Seemed like it lasted a good amount of time. Samsung got rid of physical menu buttons before they got rid of the heart rate sensor.

havent seen these kind of cool videos from mkbhd for sometime now.keep it up!

S3 was my first Samsung phone and I loved it. I eventually upgraded to the S10+ that I loved too. Now on the Z fold 5 that I love. Their evolution is crazy

I think we can easily consider s8 to be the first step into moder era of smartphones. The first phone ever chellanging the bezels

S10 plus user here. I love the size, form, horizontal camera setup, 3.5 jack, sd card, everything is exceptional. But now all the things are gone

Thoroughly enjoyed this journey. I have never owned a Galaxy S, but used the S3 back in the day. This video really ecapsulates the past 15 years of smart phone flagships and the industry.

S5 had an IR blaster. Loved it, allowed you to run any T.V., stereo, vcr or dvd player. Easy to program. Didn't need a stack of remotes next to me and though remotes always seemed to grow legs I always knew where my phone was. 😉

You missed some really important stuff regarding the S5 IMO. S5 was IP67 WITH a removable back cover (i went snorkeling with it, filming underwater). It also had the option to preserve this AND add wireless charging. Samsung provided replaceable back covers, one of which added a coil connecting to predefined pins on the back of the phone. Thus the S5 was the first wireless charging phone in the S series, not the S6. I had that exact setup, awesome times. The S4 could sense your fingers from 1 inch away off the screen, it had animations on the lockscreen and other preview features in the software which eventually landed on the Note with the S pen. It also had a high sensitivity toggle which allowed you to wear any gloves and still use the touchscreen. The S3 launched with the "S Beam" which, provided you would tap the back of two phones, would make a transfer of the selected files/links/apps, similar to what Apple introduced with the iOS17 update. My S7 Edge is a true hero, it is still being used as the main phone from 2016, marking its 8 years anniversary. Its only downfall (aside from the battery and the lack of software updates) is the AMOLED screen which burnt in eventually. Fingerprint sensor works like new, camera looks fine, great piece of technology.

38:01 S24 is back to Exynos again with the Exynos 2400 (in Europe). But the Snapdragon chip is still a bit faster.

Your podcast is my go-to podcast for ALL my Samsung Galaxy devices. Thanks! 😊

I've had the S Blaze, S4, S5, S7, and currently S20. My immediate family all carried Galaxy S phones the past 13 years as well. Felt good going back on memory lane.

28:49 the Samsung S9+ had a dual camera setup, which made it the first samsung smartphone having more than one camera

S2, S7 Edge, S8 Plus, S9, S9 Plus, S20 Ultra, were my previous Phones from Samsung Galaxy S series. You know what! They were perfect.

I'm glad it was a lot of fun because it seems to me like a ton of work to make the video! Thanks for making it!

My dad got an S9 in 2018 and has used it heavily since then. It's still amazing, the photos are still good, which he needs for his job (Architect), it's still fast, storage holds up (256 GB) and after having the battery changed, which was the only issue, still feels like new

S4 also had my favorite long forgotten feature, the ir blaster. I still miss having the ability to turn down or mute overly loud televisions in public places.

I could not agree more that the S9 was not only peak Samsung phone design but I also think it was the pinnacle of smartphone design in general. The slimness was literally unmatched, the curved edge was amazing to feeling the palm of your hands, The fingerprint reader on the back where your finger naturally rests was literally perfect. I still have my S9 in a drawer and every once in awhile I pick it up just to feel it in the palm of my hands and it just blows my mind that nothing has even come close to feeling as sleek and perfected as this design.

The three button layout was standard since the S1. It’s just the US carrier versions that went with the 4 capacitive buttons until the s3.

Love the longer content, really hope for more! S9+ and Note 20 were my favorites.

For me, S7 - S9 was probably the most iconic generation. The S10 was cool, but something about that S9 design just has me loving it way more.

s7 edge, s8 and s9 are it for me. But I remember being absolutely blown away by S6's camera. Man phones used to be so much fun back then. Since S10 we're just so lost.

first time of me watching full youtube video. amazing one! thank you :)

The S10 is my first ever Android/Samsung phone. I Had the iPhone 6+ and 4S prior to and I loved them both had they not broke down on me. I've had my S10 since the week it dropped and have no desire to want to upgrade even 5 years later to this day. To be fair, thats always my feeling for all tech and I'm hoping to squeeze another 5 if that is possible. But man what a remarkable phone. From what I see specs wise, it seems the S7 edge was really a game changer in this series, but I need to see the rest of this video to confirm that. Thanks for the video Marques!

S4 and S8 were absolutely mindblowing phones for the time. I still remember seeing de S8 for the first time. Probably one of the best designed phones of all time

Great video! But small correction, the Galaxy S10 does also have variable aperture. You can actually hear the physical movement of it every time you open the camera.

I know these videos are specific to each brand, but I think a year by year comparison of GalaxyS and Iphone would be really cool. You touch on aspects here and there, but I think a deeper dive would be really interesting. Really cool video though!

My first true smart phone was the iPhone 4S but when the Galaxy S5 came out, i decided to switch. Have only owned Galaxy phones since. Went from the S5 to the S8+ to the S10 5G and now, the S24 Ultra. Love their phones. I've thought about switching (especially with my most recent upgrade, I was so close to going with the One Plus Open) but I have always stuck with the tried and true Galaxy. Loved seeing the evolution!

While you emphasized the S23 switch from Exynos to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, the Galaxy S24 and S24+ has the Exynos 2400 chipset so it is more like a one-off exception rather than a significant change.

I made a switch from my iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S8, and I absolutely loved that phone when I had it. The iris scanner was such a sick feature, especially before Face ID became a norm.

I went from the s4, to the s5, s7 edge, s8 plus, note 9, note 10 plus, s21 ultra, s22 ultra, and now currently using the s24 ultra. Love samsung phones.

Seeing the S3 here brings back so many good memories. It was my first ever smartphone, and within my first week of having it, it fell out onto the street while I was biking. The tragedy left a small hairline crack along the bottom of the front glass, but I still rocked with the thing for five years. The S20 Ultra (my very sweet brand new half-price ebay purchase) is my current baby now, and as long as the battery, expandable storage, and the high-end specs hold out, I'll probably be keeping this one a lot longer. Samsung really knows how to make great products.

"Iconic to static." I love this phrase.

Hold on a minute. There was NO S7 Edge + version, only regular S7 and Bigger S7 Edge with 5.5" display. This was the period when i worked at our biggest tech shop in Ukraine (Citrus), so i remeber this fact pretty clearly

Thanks for the review! Has been using Samsung's phone since the S2. Interestingly, coz the S2 you've got is different from mine, didn't know it also came with different variants too. The home button on the s3 you reviewed was already added in the s2 that I've got. They look quite different😮

I switched from an iPhone 5S to a Galaxy S5, and that thing was so cool to me. USB 3.0, water resistance, removeable battery, 1080p AMOLED... That was before 4K TV's and maybe before OLED TV's, or at least before either were attainable. I remember watching a video on my phone and looking at my laptop and TV and thinking "it's kind of annoying that my phone is technically the highest quality display panel of any device I own". One thing you didn't mention about the S6 is that it also lost water resistance. I worked at an Apple-Authorized Service Provider at the time, that also worked on PC and Android Phones, and we had a *lot* of S6's come in for liquid damage, at least a few unfortunate customers who did not realize that Samsung had walked that back. The S7 was water resistant again, so it felt bad knowing that the customer picked precisely the wrong year to upgrade to avoid that problem.

I remember the hype when S6 edge came out. It looked so different from the other phones at the time, so sleek and futuristic. A friend had the S7 one and while I admit the grip was bad and I was afraid of it slipping, it just looked so pretty and premium. Who of you also got into *AMWKToken* after this

S7-S10 was peak Samsung

Rocking my s24u now but i have always held on to my s8. Perfect for chillin at home on wifi or downloading videos on UKposts when going out for the day. Anytime im between phones i can slap my sim into it and keep moving.

I had the S1 Vibrant from back in 2010, too. I am on the S23+ now. Yep, I love this series. I went to the S1, S3, S7, S8+, S21, and now S23+.

08:15 S1 and S2 also had versions with the 3 button layout like the S3

20:14 factual error - There was never an s7 edge plus. It was only the s7(3000 mAh) and the s7 edge(3600 mAh)

Honestly, it's so interesting to see S1's and S2's having SO MANY different carrier-exclusive designs. (For eg. S1 and S2 also had designs with 2-capacitive-and-one-home-buttons layout just like your S3) Then S3-5 had no design difference on vanilla models while keeping some byproducts (mini, neo, active...) and those eventually got abandoned from S8 era - only mainstream models since then Also: 28:50, actually the 1st Galaxy S with multi camera is S9 Plus... That's a even a big step to vanilla S9's dual aperture as you now have another telephoto cam. And for S10, beside vanilla/Plus/e/5G, there is one even weirdo called S10 Lite, with a design more like S20 series and earphone jack deleted for some reason.

From reading 6:01 to 6:11, it appears the Samsung S1 Verizon phone you have there is the Fascinate. The Stratosphere was the one with a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

Just upgraded from my S10 to the S24 Ultra. Some of the best phones on the market. It's honestly amazing how good they are.

-S3 has a 2100mAh battery -S9+ had dual camera -Dual aperature camera was also present in S10 series -S10 Main camera has 12 MP, the 16 MP lens was the UW one

Thanks for this break down

The Galaxy S II was my second Android smartphone (after an Xperia X10). Didn't look like the one here though; the one I had in the UK had a differently shaped camera and had a physical home button flanked by Menu and Back capacitive buttons. Was pretty great and was nice to experience AMOLED for myself for the first time. Went to a Nexus 4 after that; I was drawn to both the price and having Google's own Android without third party skins.

Can we all agree the S10 series was the best of them all?

14:25 That "special" USB 3 connector was not only a Samsung thing. It's a USB 3.0 Micro-B plug. My 8 port USB 3 hub for my PC has it too, and that unit I bought a few years ago.

S8+ was my phone for 3 yrs, a cracking phone with next level everything, and the best looks to this day of any phone. Bring back small bezels with space for cameras and proper speakers. Agree on the HTC ONE and S8/S9 best lookers.

I loved my S4 Epic (Sprint variant) that had the sliding keyboard.

Coming from an iPhone user. That Retina display on the S4 was a cultural shift! I was addicted to the water graphic Lock Screen and the way the phone flowed and operated period. PEAK design aspect 🔥🔥🔥

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the S6 (the flat screened version). I had it for three years before getting it snatched. Loved. Every. Bit! It was sleek, capable with the crispiest display. Apart from low storage space, it was a unit. Again, it looked like a piece of jewelry 😅

i still use my s6 edge for controlling things around the house! its awesome sized and i use a different launcher. it has expandable storage and a bixby button. and the fingerprint reader in on the back next to camera

S9,S10 series and note 9 and Note 10 series goated

Think there's a few inaccuracies here, like the variable aperture didnt go away after it was on the S9, it was on the S10 also, it went away from the S20. Also the heart rate checking stuck around for quite a few more generations. There was also the S9+ which had two cameras, so the S10 didnt just jump from one camera on the back to three if that makes sense.

I had an S10E for 4 years and upgraded, 2 weeks ago, to the S23. The S10E was probably the best phone overall when compared to its competition at the time.

I picked up an S20 FE for $50 recently just for emulation (I'm an iPhone guy) and its great. Snapdragon 865, 120hz display, OLED screen and still had the SD card slot.

Banger video, recently switched to samsung and I'm really glad I did

The s24 has now gone back to the 2 versions with the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variants.

22:00 Watching an S8 review on my Still working S8 feels trippy💀💀💀

I still have my S2 Korean grey-market-into-China phone in my drawer because I loved it so much. Great memories. It was an amazing leap forward. Mine had an antenna too for analog TV 😅

Enjoyed the video. I had the s1 to s3 phones then got the s8 plus. Now, i just have the a54 because of battery life and portability.

I think peak Samsung was the S10 and S10e. Almost bezeless screen. It was the last phone with the ability to add a 2TB memory expansion and have a headphone jack. I could have accepted the removal of the headphone jack if Samsung provided analog audio output through the USB-C port, but unfortunately only digital earphones work which sometimes aren't recognized when plugged in. this year got really saved by *AMWKToken*

Proud S10 user here. I almost bought the 21, almost U22, U23, and a month ago U24. Everytime I'm about to do it I remind my self how I use this device daily (smaller hands) and I can't part ways with my S10, after 4 years it's just been sooo good as entire package. No more updates means I may have to switch due to security purposes but hoddang do I like this phones design\size\features\quality. S10 and iPhone5se are by far the best 2 phones I ever owned and every year I get the hype bite and postpone long enough to be logical. But all good things come to an end at some point ...when and what to get next....

I remember smart pause feature working excellently in the Galaxy S4❤ I used to play with it as a kid. Also it had gesture swipes and also it had an IR blaster at that time. I used to turn off people’s TV😂😂

Regarding multiple camera, it is actually the Galaxy S9+ which came out with normal and a 2x Zoom one. On that time, it was the Zoom Camera instead of Ultra Wide for the 2nd one.
