Both the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ are slightly wider, thinner, and lighter than the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The Galaxy S10 is taller than its predecessor, while the Galaxy S10+ is shorter than its predecessor. But these changes are minor, and you’re unlikely to notice them. More importantly, both have more storage options, more RAM options, faster processors, bigger batteries, and bigger screens. Oh, and triple rear cameras can’t hurt.
