    I'm still using s10e as my main phone. Bought it when it came out, changed the battery last year and it never failed or crashed with more then 3h sot everyday. No sdcard and the exynos to SD nonsense didn't allow me to update it yet.

    S2 was phone ahead of its time. Best in generation hands down, and it is 2 places from bottom? S10 had 60hz while everyone pushed 90 or more and it's 3rd? S5? Arguably THE reason why people (including me) switched from Samsung is 2nd? Useless fp sensor, hideous design, plastic rails that deteriorated in first 2 months, most bloated Touchwiz to date etc. I understand subjective approach, but your criteria in the beginning of the video do not apply to the ranking results.

    18:08 Mistake here: Position #6 is actually the S9. I didn't understand why you put the S8 in front of the S9, as the S9 is basically the same but with very small improvements.

  • @ray101892

    Very poor list. Agree with the s7 being the top but s5 being number 2? really? It looked ugly, had the confusing microusb 3.1 port, had flaps and a swipe based fp sensor. It was so widely panned that samsung fired the designers and made drastic changes to the s6. S8 had the extreme edged screen that made it vulnerable to cracking from knocks to the side while s9 was a transitional device that brought nothing to the table. In terms of bringing something new and being iconic, it should have been 1-s7 2-s10 3-s24 4-s23 5-s3.

    A lot of people spoke of Air View on S4/S5 as a bad thing but I absolutely loved that feature. I always used it for a quick glance to find the right photo, to quickly check some video, read more of a received notification or email without pressing on it, more info on the calendar. You can kind of do the same now with an S pen but I loved that sort of a power just with my fingers

    My top 3 would be the s20, s5, and s7, These phones we're so ahead of its time. galaxy s5 with a better battery, better features, with 3gb ram and first samsung phone with 1440p screen on LTE-A variant, water resistance, fingerprint scanner, live HDR, 4k video recording, and so on, a huge improvement over galaxy s4. Galaxy s7 edge, it basically fix and fill up the lacking specs of galaxy s6 and s5, A combination of both previous flagship. A better camera, a much better battery life, water resistance, a clean software compared to previous and so on. Galaxy s20, s20+, s20 ultra was a bit tie over galaxy s10 series, Galaxy s20 has a so much better battery life on 60hz compared to s10, a 120hz display, better camera specially the 4x periscope on ultra, better performance and thermal cause of sd865, and flatter display. While s10 series offer headphone jack, with similar features. But I choose s20 series cause of its 120hz display and better battery and of course that 4x periscope lens.

    The S10 series but specifically the plus for me, it's the peak of Samsung S phones. They have never repeated a design like that. That I consider very nice and unique. Right know I rock my S24 Ultra as my daily phone, but still use my S10 plus as a second phone to play or watch content, sometimes even to record 4K videos. Still pretty good on 2024.

    This style of ranking itself is flawed. You cannot compare something which was released 10 years ago with something which came yesterday. You need to know the fun and joy the phone gave during the time it was released. For ex. S6 was heavy, long and awful in terms of battery life. Whereas the S2 was just phenomenal when it was released.
