Not sure how but my the back of my premium has a little scratch on it, and it's only a day old, it's the one with a mirror finished back casing, phone only been placed on table very certain there was nothing under the phone
I just realized the Deepa Sea black has that blue hue that was original used in the frame of the Xperia Z, which I always wanted as a color!
quality maybe good compared to other devices but this one right here is scary when it comes to applying pressure on it as the screen gets faulty easily (yellow spots, pressure points appear easily) so be careful, this will only happen if you constantly apply pressure on your phone, lets say if its in your pocket while your'e sitting it could apply bending pressure on it if its for long period, or if you accidentally sleep over your phone overnight so pressure all night will cause yellow spots and pressure point indicator so be careful! the slightest pressure on this device could cause volume rockers to stop functioning properly or could easily show an indication of pressure on the screen by yellow marks and easy pressure indicator.

There have been numerous discussions on XDA and elsewhere about issues with Xperia cameras, specifically what looks like flecks of dust on the images.
It was my theory that such dust would have to be directly on the CCD in order for it to appear as sharply defined as it is.
To test this theory I removed my camera and using an exacto knife and a steady hand, opened the camera to expose the CCD directly. Then using a cotton swab and some alcohol, wiped the surface of the CCD itself.
After reassembly the dust specs were still evident in the same locations.
It is my opinion based on this that it is not worth the effort to do what I did. You will be better off replacing the camera entirely. Or letting the phone slip from your hand while you are mixing a load of cement.
Possibilities:
- the flecks are under some protective surface on the CCD
- the CCD was manufactured with the flecks already there
- pixels in the makeup of the CCD have gone dead
- etc etc
I thought it a good idea to post this so someone else would benefit and not waste time with a futile effort.

I think its software related. If you go to video, point at something white so that you can see the black dots, then wobble the phone a little. You will see them jumping around on the screen as the camera tries to focus. I'm not sure what it is, but its definitely not dust.

Your images taken through camera will contain noise during bad lighting conditions.The images taken with my phone on bright sunlight are good and do not have any noise.Sony should take care of this atleast in upcoming models
I have noticed that the notification led is too much low in brightness. I I find it really difficult to notice it. So I have "ripped" a bit the covering grid (that protects the speaker) and now I can see the full LED, it is incredibly bright now!
Is it normal or can it be a production defect from your point of view?

It's normal only, it's behind the speaker protection mesh only

Hey my Honor and Huawei phones have a similar design of a very tiny notification LED behind the speaker grille. I am thinking of "ripping" the covering grid like you did but I am scared of damaging the phone or the display. What tool should I use and is it ok if safely and carefully done? As it is, the current notification LED is completely useless as you can't see it from 1 feet away.

Don't rip it off as more dust will accumulate in your speaker. Notification led is less visible because of the dust which settles on that mesh. I have found one simple solution. Just buy one paint brush small one and poke it through that mesh & blow air over it. This worked for me. Dust will be removed and it'll become more visible. Hope it works for you too.

samsung typical cheap plastic trash, hate it, always will, they do intend you to break it easy so you buy another after all.
i dropped my moto z force on concrete tons of times with no damage, not doing that with an s10
edit: nearly forgot this one before, but with the battery moto mod on the moto z force i had before this it was way more comfortable to hold in landscape orientation, the z force without the mod had the same issue though but i have to ding the s10+ cause the only solution is a bulky case that some people probably don't want and even then it's not as comfortable to hold due to the thinness of the device.
Actually the higher the build quality "feel", the more likelihood you will have damage during a drop. The old plastic phones like my Blackberry 15 years ago could be tossed all over the place without a case and keep on chuggin'.
This is why the case industry has grown into a billion dollar business!
That said, the ceramic S10+ is in a league of all its own.
Nobody cares if your cheaper old plastic phone survived drops easily, plastic absorbs impacts in a different way, while scratching and losing material very easily.
This phone is in its own league, it's not made to be dropped since there are other devices for that, but the feel is the best you could get and the ceramic version showed very good durability while having top class comfort.
As a matter of fact this device is one of the most expensive ones to manufacture, if not the most expensive one at all.

Materials are awesome. I got the ceramic version. But hell, that thing is slippery without a case.
Comparing it to my Note 9 , the Note 9 wins hands down. I'm not just referring to the Note 9 weight either. Example first things I noticed with the s10+, back glass resonates when watching YouTube videos at 50% volume or more. As does some voice calls using the earpiece, I can feel the back glass resonate if the other party has a bassy voice.
Furthermore, no matter what color you chose on the s10 the frame is a painted chrome color, another cost cutting corner by Sammy. Where as on the Note 9 the chassis would also be the same color of the back as was the lens camera surround.
This flagship almost reminds of my favourite chocolate bar of yesterday's. Everything is cut down and reduced.
Don't get me wrong, the build quality is still high, but lower than what my expectations are from Samsung.

The buttons and the frame are pretty solid. Also, the phone is not heavy weighted, which is excellent for one hand usage. I'm not giving it a 5/5 just because I think that the aluminum frame could be of a better material. It scratches easily. If you simply miss the charging port at night and gently scratch the frame, it will get scuffed.

Are you sure? Dont know there, but here the frame does match the color of the back. My brother got a blue s10 and its frame is different from my white one.

I don't care about back cover materials because I'm using leather case)
Don’t like the light blue color, looks cheap.

great
materials are great and feel very premium, the only downside is you need a case
This is old news but it's still a problem. Like most wearable fitness trackers, the Galaxy Watch relies on a method called photoplethysmography (or PPG). Because blood absorbs*green light, and each*pulse*brings a spike in blood flow, determining*heart*rate is a matter of measuring the changes in*green light absorption. This is a pretty reliable solution for people, except when it comes to tattoos.
Tattoo ink is injected in to the second layer of skin called the dermis, right below the epidermis. Green Light PPGs have a hard time penetrating it. Some people have no problem with their wearables and tattoos, but this is the minority of cases. Mainly because their tattoos are a lighter color, sun faded, or time faded. Just so happens that the skin directly below my GW's PPG is pretty dark ink and every attempt to get a reading returns a non-result. Now, RED light heart rate sensors on the other hand do a much better job at this because red light has a longer wavelength and shorter frequency. It can dig deeper. The same red LEDs the Galaxy Smartphones use for their heart rate monitors and most medical grade hardware like the finger tip reader at your doctor's office.
I didn't know the science of why Green LEDs are used more commonly than Red, but I've tried every hardware manufacture from Hawewei to Garmin and still no luck. I can only assume it is much less expensive to manufacture the Green PPGs.
The obvious solution to this problem is to rotate the watch so the sensor is touching the underside of my wrist the tattooed left arm where there is no ink. Or to simply wear it on my right arm. But dammit it's almost 2020, I'm 40 with a pacemaker, and I want what I want!
SO, if anybody has encountered this too or has suggestions to a workaround I'm all ears.

get the tattoo removal process done on the 1/2 inch diameter where the watch rests.( why 1/2 inch? because the watch moves)
or get a mosquito bite at just the right place and pick and scratch at it like thers no tomorrow.
I have legitimately been looking in to that option!
Now that's a challenging one...
As long as the tattoo is there, there is no solution. Move the watch or the tattoo. You can't change the watch's hardware.
I saw someone try with a piece of scotchtape on the sensor. You could try that. I've left a link.

I am doing this quick review of the amazingly affordable, yet competetively priced mid ranger from Samsung's stable. The model that I got is the Prism Blue version and it looks stunning even though the back is not glass. It reflects light in a unique pattern and shades of rainbow plays across the top half quite a lot. The device is surprisingly light to use and the punch hole camera and the indisplay fingerprint scanner induces a sense of premiumness to the device. You either end up loving it or hating it just like notches.
Now coming to the build quality of the device, this phone is quite well built, and I have no major complaints except at times, the sim ejector just goes into the hole and the tray doesn't eject, whic could later become a major niggle.
The call quality is amazing and the speakers and mic do a good job as well.
The super amoled screen is a boon to use and the contrast and color accuracy is perfect.
The cameras on the back do decent jobs. The macro camera is more or less a gimmick, is what I feel as the megapixel count is too low to use it for snapping anything other than instagram content and even then it at times lack the quality even for that. The 48 mega pixel mode is also not that useful as we miss the flash and timer on that. The front camera does a decent job of taking good looking selfies.
The network connectivity and wifi works really well and so does the NFC.
This phone has a headphone jack and honestly, I am very happy with the audio quality.
The indisplay fingerprint scanner is fast when it works, at certain times the fingerprint scanner fails to detect the fingerprint and we end up touching the area quite a few times to get it right.
The charger included in the box is a quick charger and that is a boon. The charging times are quick and the device doesn't heat up either.
Gaming on this device is amazing as well even though this is just a 60 Hz refresh rate screen. There is no lag whatsoever on PUBG and COD.
That's everything that comes to mind now. I will update later if something or the other comes up.
So,
the camera lense rattles which is normal but still annoys a bit.
The volume down button sounds weird if you compare it to the volume up button.
Other than that good quality overall
