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.
i go back and fourth between my note 20 and note 10, the newer having 120hz display is a big advantage but i still miss my headphone jack. also the finger print sensor on the 20 seems more accurate but maybe thats just me
@@Roukos_RksThis is such a bizarre take. No one has ever been disappointed about the presence of a headphone jack on a new device, but enough people are disappointed about the absence of one that we're still talking about it years after it started to disappear.
I remember seeing adverts for the Galaxy S8 and was thinking to myself along the lines of ‘Yes!! Finally!! Samsung did away with the capacitive keys I'd keep tapping by accident!!’, but also ‘Samsung, please release the Galaxy Note8!!!!’ which they did later that year. I of course pre-ordered one to replace my OnePlus One that had its baseband fail and my LG Stylus 3 I had as a temporary phone for mobile network access.
yeah I wish marques would've highlighted how big of a change the S8 was. It was the first main stream phone to really get rid of those top and bottom bezels, and it was so cool. It also essentially one-upped the iPhone X release that would happen later.
@@evindrews Yep, you were right, and I was happy that Samsung finally got rid of those capacitive keys I would keep tapping by accident on my Galaxy Note3 while trying to watch UA-cam on it.
I still have an S8 as my daily phone, and the battery is the original one. It lasts almost 3h of screen time. I usually charge twice a day. It's ok for me
Still use a S8+ as a work phone. Great phone. Other than speakers I don't feel that my newer Samsung's were vastly superior considering how many features have been dropped since.
I used a s9+ for 4+ years and that phone was built like a brick(I have butter fingers(like linus) and my mom actually threw the phone multiple times with anger and there were no cracks in the glass)
I've had the S10+ for almost 4 and a half years and I wanna buy the S24 Ultra but to be honest I don't have a good reason. The phone still works very well. I guess the cameras are getting old but I watched my vlogs on a laptop and they we good. I've fallen victim to marketing, honestly.
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 agree with you, the last Samsung Galaxy S with both headphone jack and microSD card slot, plus still has a lot of the modern features like full front screen (almost). In fact it's my main phone to this day. My biggest gripe is the sides of the phone curving over the edge. Almost wish I got the S10e with the flat screen with no curves. I get a lot of missed inputs that can be frustrating at times because the screen simply won't respond because some of my fingers are 'bleeding' over the edges and touching the screen. The curved screen may have been popular for looking cool, but functionally it was annoying. Many people agree including Marques himself.
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.
Galaxy S7 was my first experience with Android, never went back to Apple other than an iPad, but eventually went from that to a Galaxy S20+, then the Z Flip 3. Now I'm onto the Galaxy S24 Ultra and they've really come a long way since the S7.
I love my s7 too before it got stolen. I used them more multifunctional like sport device, test camera and edit them on lightroom mobile, and many more. Also I kinda feel downgrade when I experienced A52. Because the IP rating kinda useless because the glue itself is not that resistant to heat after playing games. Never I had that kind experience on my S7. And my S7 is kinda goat in my opinion because I never repair myself and any kind service center due to still in good condition for 4 years using that phone.
S9 plus was peak. SD card, waterproof, headphone jack, heartrate sensor, customizable hotkey, buttons on the correct sides, symmetric display without cutouts, dualsim etc. Only things missing are removable battery, FM, and IR blaster I think?
Indeed! I've had the s9+ since 2018 and the only reason i had to change it was because of a malfunctioning sd card i bought. It ruined the OS. Still have the phone though and it's still working great!
Loved my S9+ but the battery was on it's last legs and I was tired of carrying a power bank around so upgraded to an S23U a few months ago due to a deal I couldn't refuse 😉 Hope it lasts as long as the S9+ (and the Note4 it replaced)
I still have my s10 plus, great phone tho significantly slower now. I also still have my S7, my s4 and my note 10 plus still running. Tho switched to iPhone and Pixel already as my daily drivers.
In my opinion, S10+ was the best S of all ! Especially with 512GB & 1 TB versions, they had ceramic back ! Also, S10+ was the last Samsung's flagship with heart rate sensor, headphone jack, IR-blaster, sd card slot, bixby button and horizontal cameras ! Amazing work and tons of informations in one single video, thank you Marques !
@@anandchaudhary1675 Note 10+ is a great device, but in comparison to S10+, has no sd card support, no heart rate sensor, no ir-blaster, no headphone jack ! And makes you pay more for less :D
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!
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
@@whutthehell you are stuck in like 2009, bruh. The only Samsung part Apple uses is the display panel (but they also use LG panels). Apple has almost complete control end-to-end of the iPhone. It's literally why they've been fighting anti-competitive lawsuits for years now. Samsung uses Google software, Qualcomm chips, Sony lenses. Did you think they built their own parts? lol
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
One UI needs a mention. It strengthened Samsung strong hold in software as best custom Android and better than Google in terms of updates until last year.
I think best custom android might be a stretch, perhaps most feature rich? it was a HUGE jump over touchwiz for sure, but at the time Oxygen OS or the Pixels implementation (which is no longer stock) were still the favoured OS of the majority of reviewers. Oxygen OS is kinda dead now because of the whole OPPO thing, but the pixel is still widely considered the best implementation of android. As for updates both are now even as you alluded to.
Both offer the same 7 years of feature updates now, so not better, but on par. I would still argue the pixel has the edge as they are FAR faster at providing updates for aging devices than Samsung is@@nvssgoat
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.
Pre ordered the Samsung S24 ultra and been using it almost for a year now, as a construction worker. Went through harsh conditions and materials and I used without a case the whole time. Dropped it alot, asphalt, concrete, hardwood etc no cracks no dents just mirror scratchs probably from keys in pocket over the whole year. Very much enjoyed this phone, didnt even have to fully charge, charged it to 30 or 50% and went from there on a daily.
I used to quickly unlock my phone by pressing the pressure sensitive button while I took it out of my pocket and did a swipe without ever lifting my finger. The iris scanner did the rest😂 felt smooth
You forgot to mention the S3 was THE defining moment of Samsung. They overhauled & changed everything. This new Super AMOLED display 720p and design was simply incredible. It definitely caught my eye back in the day and it’s reign was incredible. Really put it on the map imo. S4 was a tad pretty cool upgrade but S kinda got lost from the 5. S6 edge had the greatest curve, the 7’s curved was reduced and kept being reduced at time went by smh they should’ve kept the same deep curve. Still have my S9+ and LOVE that physical home button at the bottom. Sad they went away from it.
will amoled screens been invented in south korea by both Samsung and LG. it makes sense to use there own product. 2003: Samsung introduces the world's first active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display. 2009: Samsung releases the Samsung Galaxy, the first smartphone with an AMOLED display. 2012: LG introduces its own version of AMOLED technology.
It is crazy how even today the S8 design still look stunning and futuristic, my favorite design from the front. I actually love the S6 back design, something about the metal and glass that makes it feel like jewelry compared to previous and future generations
Front of S8 is definitely really smooth looking and in contrast to "modern" phones screen doesn't have ugly hole in it. But that fashion of slippery glass backs is complete garbage made to increase risk of phone breaking and needing replacing. And in Europe Samsung's Excryment... Exynos chipset sucks by hogging 1% of battery per hour for doing absolutely nothing but maintaining standby network connection... Unless disabling 4G, which still doesn't result in good runtime.
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy Y, S3, S6, S8, S10 and S22 Ultra, and my S8 is by far my favourite. I remember when I got it I was amazed at the looks, and so was everyone I knew. I became a celebrity at school for a week when I first got it!
S10 lineup was the biggest jump n peak Samsung. It was like a start of a new era. A very unique n distinct look that NO other phone has, still! Several new things came up that are still around. First 5G phone, Hole punch camera, One UI, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, reverse wireless charging, minimum bezels, triple camera system n had a complete lineup of well priced flagship phones from small, medium to large. I mean S10e was just a brilliant product! Also S10 series was the last lineup of flagship phones that had the headphone jack & a microSD card slot! Last flagship to come with AKG headphones in the box along with charging brick & cable! In my country it also came with preapplied screen protector, OTG & a phone case! WHAT! And probably 1st Samsung that even iPhone biased reviewers truly loved. That phone has glowing reviews from the tech community! S10 series is truly historical & path breaking in every way.
Also worth noting that, even if it honestly was just gimmicky at best, the S10 5G was THE FIRST mass market 5G phone. The S10 lineup was an innovator in so many ways, and looking back, it's the one that felt like it was the most giant leap forward in smartphone technology since Steve Jobs announced the iPhone.
Also, it is the most sold smartphone in the second hand market. Heck, even my parents had it and are fan of its overall design! Though mine was an LG V50 because their headphone jack performance outweighs my need for a Samsung.
😭😭😭😭😭 I never experienced that. I born too late... For reference my first phone was a Motorola Moto G10 Power at my 15 birthday. A super phone for me back in the day, then 2 years later when my phone died I upgraded to the S23 Ultra, a gigantic step forward, but nothing new and that´s deppresing, just supercharged specs, maybe the software? 😅🤣
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.
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.
The first wireless charging phone in the S series was not S5, but S3 - it also had 2 pins exposed and you had to buy a back cover with Qi coil. It wasn't the first mainstream phone to have Qi charging though - Nokia Lumias were ahead of Samsung with this, and IIRC the Qi was ready-to-use there with no fiddling or paying extra.
S1-S24 owner here. Big fan of the Active models, S8 Active was peak Galaxy S for me. IT DIDN'T NEED A CASE. It was rugged and beautiful (dark blue color) It was water and dust resistant, plus it had a bigger battery(4000mAh) and a dedicated quick launch button on the side. The weirdest Galaxy S was definitely the first Sprint specific "Galaxy S Epic 4G" front camera, flash on rear, full sliding QWERTY keyboard, and Wi-Max 4G. It was wild at the time!
I use an app to put an RGB circle around my S23 camera cutout to emulate the notification LED from older phones. Not as bright and it is a 3rd party app, but it brought back an important feature
Goddamn i thought the s10 and s10e was peak design when it first came out, almost 5 years later i still believe that. From the size, camera placement and headphone jack. Truly a thing of beauty
Strangely enough i remembered the Galaxy S2 with a square home button and a squared shape camera unit at the back with the large "8.0 megapixel" written on it. It really went on the the whole square/rectangular theme all around. Damn that phone was light and easy to carry around.
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 came to the comments to mention the same thing. The international S24 & S24+ has the Exynos 2400 chipset. While the US/Canada/China models have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Right?!! It sucks. It just seems so lackluster now a days sure the chips are great but for me the s9 - s20 line were the pocket knives of phones lol they had so much and great specs
I got s10+ in 2019 i believe and since day 1 till now i dont ever wanna change it, im sure one day ill have to but i wish they wiuld just keep making them because this is the perfect phone for me. The storage space the extra storage you can keep, dual sim 3 cameras the size the shape everything.
Man I loved my S10, esp when I was using the iris scanner to unlock the phone when I was wearing gloves at work. But I was swayed by the trade in offer (and dying battery) to an S21 U, which I also really liked, especially since it had S Pen functionality. They gave me a free upgrade in internal storage too, which I accepted and turns out that tbh I didn't need an SD card anymore since there was so much internal storage (for me anyways) that I could ditch the SD card and not have to worry about it possibly dying on me, and having to move apps back and forth. Now on an S23U cause I thought battery would die in the S21U in 2 years like it did for the S10, but it surprisingly didn't, so gonna wait for longer than my 2 year cyclic upgrade routine since the S4 (that, and the built in stylus was better than clipping the pen on the side). I still missed my iris scanner though, especially during covid with masks.
Mark my words: in the following years they will bring the Head jack back and sell it as new feature. Result: Starting prices for the base models will start at 999$
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
was thinking about Samsung with the S8 but went Huawei at that time with their P10 (then the whole getting banned from android happened and I switched to the S21 instead of another Huawei)
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.
True back then each year a lot of advancements were being made and newer phones had newer designs. Now they're all the same. I'm still fine with my almost 4yr old s20 as it feels basically the same in day to day usage with the newer devices
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.
I'm also still in love with that phone! mine died a long ago but I still keep it in its original box, in my room. I've just got the s24, a great phone, but it doesn't feel as perfect as the s9.
Agreed, it was the pinnacle of smartphone design with just RIGHT bezel size. The color options was top notch as well. I felt lucky to ever owned this phone.
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
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
Another factual error : “First usb type c” (yes it’s first on S8, but first samsung was Note7) “First more than one camera” - galaxy s9 plus had 2 cameras “Dual aperture gone next model” - s10 did retain the dual aperture
Ye I remember when it first launched. I was absolutely astonished by how it looked. It looked so "futuristic", in a sense. It was a completely novice thing to just remove the bezels, so seeing that happen was just so damn awsome
@@Rico-oz4ct not quite right because the S6 (launched 2015) started that trend. S7 Followed and then the S8 flexed its 80%. S7 had 76% while the G6 had 78% a year later. Samsung challenged the bezels first.
Formerly owned S4 mini in 2013-15, then S6 edge in 2015-18 and after owning Huawei, OnePlus and Sansung's Z series for six years [changing the phones in each 2 years], now I'm owning S24 ! Samsung S series is truly a best
S10 also has dual aperture. My current phone, love it. For me, the best looking Galaxy S they made. Also, love the fact the camera is centered in the back of the phone.
Yep, the S10 is definitely peak Galaxy S. It had every feature which proved to work in previous generations (including variable aperture), it was still leap forward from previous year, was original and recognisable, and was great to hold! S20 managed to lost lots of the great stuff in single year and even s24 is still lacking in several areas compared to s10. What a fun it was to follow announcements of new phones from this lineup back in the days.
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.
*Corrections:* • "First Samsung usb type C" - Note 7 • "First more than one camera" - S9+ had 2 cameras • "Dual aperture gone next model" - S10 did retained it *Btw, S6-S9 kinda put the competing iPhone design to shame tbh*
Also, there was no S7 Edge Plus. Also, S7 series also had 2 different chipsets for different regions, and Exynos on the S7 was much better than Snapdragon.
Samsung Galaxy S3 was my first smartphone. I was actually living in Seoul at the time. Opened in it a taxi on my way to my apartment because I was so excited. I definitely miss the swappable battery. Was pretty nice being able to just pull a battery out of the charger at home, plug it in, and then go out at night on the town.
Had to pause watching to comment. Seeing the S3 is so nostalgic, as a tech enthusiast it was the first truly smart phone I could afford to buy. I had to get it imported into New Zealand and didn’t regret it one bit. Everybody thought I was crazy having such a big phone, but I loved it. (Typing this on a 6.7 inch screen seems ironic)
Why did you have to import the s3 into new Zealand? I thought that was available at retail here considering I own a few of them that are telecom branded? Were they not available at launch. Although I'm currently trying this on an imported google pixel.
@@Shaddow798New Zealander here, I bought mine from JB Hi-Fi on release. They were definitely available on release at retailers here, however we got the Exynos version of the S3 here and if you wanted the Snapdragon version with more RAM you had to get it imported
Can’t remember now all the details but I thought the S4 was first one available from Telecom?? Maybe I’m wrong after all these years thought I got it through a parallel importer to get an unlocked version. I do remember loving the phone though
S1, S3, Note 3, Note 4, S7E, Note 9, S10E, S21U, S23U, with a few other brands in the mix. at one point I averaged a new phone every 8 months 😅 my favorite, aside from my current S23U, was the Note 4. removable battery, headphone jack, etc.
@@EricJCaraballoso the note 4 was super awsome, got amazed with its pixel density anyway the note 4 edge was so rare back then. Since it wasn’t available in my country.
1st Samsung I had was a 3.2 inch screen Mini android. It was fine as a small phone, but a bit of a struggle to use, unless you had hands of a 10 yr old! I then bought a 2nd hand S3 in perfect condition and what a dream of a phone! It was just a joy to use every day for 2.5 years. Decided to resell it as it was 3 years old and made a 10% profit as they were still very popular! I avoided anything top end after as they became stupidly expensive and still are! I do have a good middle ground Samsung A51, which does plenty and isn't a crazy price!
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
Man the Moto X! This comment brought me back. I remember how innovative it all was. Shaking the phone twice brought up the flashlight. So convenient. Amazing phone.
The S7 Edge was peak. They called me crazy for praising a 2 year old phone back in the day, but I haven't changed my mind after having lost touch with smartphone tech for a while.
I had an S7 Edge, actually the exploded phone is on my shelf right now - I'm looking at it. It was pretty decent phone, one of the best I've used... but... certainly wasn't peak Samsung. The phone cracked, it had that purple line when it cracks too, it would start to overheat, couldn't play high-end games - it was also too small for gaming, my fingers would cover up the screen, and the camera wasn't the great. We have different definitions of peak Samsung, for sure. But I'd confidentially saying peak Samsung is the S21 (my current phone) since I mean, S22, 23 and 24 have little-to-no improvements on it, with the next peak Samsung being either the S9 or the S6 (both for innovation sakes). The S10 wasn't so bad either 😂
I hated that phone, I managed to break the scren 3 times on it, and i have had s phones from s2 until s24 no one had those issues. I once tipped a mug over the s7 edge and the screen cracked. I twas slippery, the edge was way to much etc. There´s a reason those edges are more or less gone. S9 was awesome.
I agree reliability isn't s7 edge's best suit, but I love it for it's design, the feeling of holding it, it felt like a flat soap🤣, this phone taught me how to replace phone parts, replace a phone screen, 2 logic board snatch from cheap broken screen phone, new battery and glass backplate I wouldn't say this phone have much original parts left lol, still love this thing
@@Pleasing_view the s9 has some subtle differences, but it was clearly a refinement of the S8 design rather than a leap forward. But to me, that was already the peak smartphone design so why change it?
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.
its in s9 as will. which i updated its firmware to android 13 one ui 5. just as if its s20. and i like it. it dose not have the iris scanner any more. but cant say i miss it.
My Galaxy S4 was a literal pocket camera. The image quality was insane and is still good to this day. I used it to make short films too and you wouldn't believe it was filmed on a 2013 mobile device. I'd even say the camera felt better than the S6 i bought many years later. Now i own a S20 which i'm very happy about.
It was gorgeus, but i am loving the flat screen of my s24. The curve is beautiful, but not practical. Cases, screen protectors and just loss of functionality in the edges makes this desing better. And too be fair after the s10 my favorite phone ever was the iphone 4 and this design makes me think of that one.
I had an S9 for three years and it never failed me. NEVER failed me. It was always fast. It never lagged. Timeless design. One underrated thing is the IR sensor which meant that it can unlock using your face without turning on the sun. It could detect your heart rate with a rear IR sensor omggg I wish I never traded it in
S9+, I loved it, I sometimes just staring on how beautiful that sandwich of metal and glass was... The fingerprint on the back was super nice to use for notifications, and it took me a while to get used to my current S21 fe
Actually, in Europe, we had the s3 style from the begining, with the home physic button and two capacitive buttons for menu and back. And subtle changes on the style of the camera too. I think they look a loot cooler. I still have my s2 and s4 in a drawer. Man did I love those...
Same in Asia and Oceania. However, the US received different versions of the Galaxy S and S2, then with the S3, the US received the same design as the rest of the world but with additional branding on the back, and starting with the S10, the same overall design as the rest of the world.
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. 😉
Omg yess I remember insisting that my family let me be the one to change the channel just to show off the IR remote from my s5, thought I was so cool lol
The S1 and S2 looked quite different here in germany. The s1 had a physical home button and 2 touchbuttons like the s3, "our" s1 had no led flash, the s2 had a home button too. I've used the s6 until 2022, then i bought a used s20 which i use still now. A fantastic device.
Yea the earlier statement about 'main' variant really needed to be said as main North American* variant! The actual main/reference version of the s & s2 was the one sold in most countries including Europe, Asia (inc Samsungs home Korean market) etc and those had physical home buttons & fm tuners (though there were still some country specific adjustments but generally much less so than the US) Not sure where the first one having small storage is from though, reference galaxy s had 8 and 16gb models
Wow I never knew this. I don't recognise the S1 or S2. Same in the UK. Two touch buttons and a physical Home button. The very first Galaxy Tab had those 4 touch buttons though.
I owned the very first Galaxy S on Verizon. The exact one you showed in this video. Man, that brought back a lot of memories. My brother had the other variant for Verizon with a mini "ticker tape" screen on it. It was wild days back then.
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.
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.
When these phones were introduced, they were some of the most powerful you could get. Nowadays the s24 barely competes with cheaper phones like the oneplus 12.
The S7 edge was my first "phone" (didnt have a number or data but i could use it at home) and i still love it. Design is sleek, the screen is amasing, camera quality still holds up, and only the battery is slightly falling
@@robertfan332Actually, yeah. It still lasted quite a long time. Definitely not as good as the new S24, but it was still enough for a normal day's use. With the S10, I would leave for work with 100%, come back home with 35% left. Plenty of battery in case there was an emergency, the work day was longer, or just to have as reserve. The S24 on the other hand, heavy use all day? You're only down to 85% after the work day is done. It's insane how good the battery is. I would have kept my S10 longer if it weren't for some snotty toddler hitting me with a shopping cart at the store. Somehow it cracked the corner of the screen. Really can't do much there, to be honest.
@@robertfan332I just made the change from the S10 to an S21 Ultra. I refuse to pay extra money to the BS phone companies, so no S24 for me. 5 years, no battery issues. I don't really understand how that happens. I also don't understand how the phone that has been through absolute hell, my S10 is still in better condition than the S21 Ultra I got. Like I dropped that thing in oil, coolant, sand, concrete... and besides a couple scratches it's perfect. People take care of your stuff.
@@ikuturso7570 For me SD always was just bit better not because points in benchmarks, UI was slightly smoother on these, which made experience more pleasing.
I went from the s10+ to the s22, I miss my s10+. The size was right, the battery was perfect for my needs, it had headphone jack and expandable storage, the cameras were also perfectly fine for what I was using them for. For me it really was the best galaxy phone.
-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
Most definitely not. The S10 sucked compared to the S9+ which was peak Samsung. The closest thing was the S22 Ultra. Although the Samsung Galaxy S4 will always hold a special place in my heart since that was my first change over to Android from iPhone
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.
@@nitrobearAnd you would think he used more external drives than the average viewer since he's a video producer. He can't possibly not know that plug exists.
This is the most amazing video, and I am not even into phones. I cannot begin to fathom how one could gather so much information. Well done, Sir! P.S. Samsung should obtain this as a definitive biography of their journey.
wow this video really took me back, i remember discovering your channel around 2013 when i was in middle school. Crazy looking back now and realizing how i’ve grown up watching you and your channel over these years
I've always been Team Android/Samsung, but one thing that is slowly making me consider iPhone is the fact that there's still a noticeable stutter/lag when scrolling through apps and navigating. I was watching my friend on his iPhone 15 and it is buttery smooth in comparison. I don't understand why Samsung still haven't addressed it after all of this time.
Another factual error : “First usb type c” (yes it’s first on S8, but first samsung was Note7) “First more than one camera” - galaxy s9 plus had 2 cameras “Dual aperture gone next model” - s10 did retain the dual aperture
@@joenathanz7474 Usb C is not an error. S8 was the first S series to have usb C, the video is only about the S series. Note series are irrelevant here, even if the Note7 was indeed first samsung phone with usb C.
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
21:10 I’d never forget working at UPS a Samsung phone blew up because somebody dropped the package and it blew up in a trailer next to a hazmat. I’d never forget that
I'm glad someone also noticed. He mentioned the S23 was a single all-snapdragon version worldwide, but he failed to mention how they went backwards with the S24. The world is not just America... sighs...
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.
i go back and fourth between my note 20 and note 10, the newer having 120hz display is a big advantage but i still miss my headphone jack. also the finger print sensor on the 20 seems more accurate but maybe thats just me
So far as I can tell he makes no mention of the s10...
Keeping my LG G8 for all this + Quad DAC and Awesome Manual cameras with cine effects
@@Roukos_RksThis is such a bizarre take. No one has ever been disappointed about the presence of a headphone jack on a new device, but enough people are disappointed about the absence of one that we're still talking about it years after it started to disappear.
@Dryblack1 I personally don't like it. Maybe it makes phones harder to be waterproofed or use some space
I'll never forget the first time I saw an ad on TV for the Galaxy S8. The design was such a level up
I remember seeing adverts for the Galaxy S8 and was thinking to myself along the lines of ‘Yes!! Finally!! Samsung did away with the capacitive keys I'd keep tapping by accident!!’, but also ‘Samsung, please release the Galaxy Note8!!!!’ which they did later that year. I of course pre-ordered one to replace my OnePlus One that had its baseband fail and my LG Stylus 3 I had as a temporary phone for mobile network access.
yeah I wish marques would've highlighted how big of a change the S8 was. It was the first main stream phone to really get rid of those top and bottom bezels, and it was so cool. It also essentially one-upped the iPhone X release that would happen later.
@@evindrews
Yep, you were right, and I was happy that Samsung finally got rid of those capacitive keys I would keep tapping by accident on my Galaxy Note3 while trying to watch UA-cam on it.
I still have an S8 as my daily phone, and the battery is the original one. It lasts almost 3h of screen time. I usually charge twice a day. It's ok for me
S8 was the last good galaxy phone
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.
Still use a S8+ as a work phone. Great phone. Other than speakers I don't feel that my newer Samsung's were vastly superior considering how many features have been dropped since.
I agree, they looked so much better than the iPhones of the time, S10+ is still a decent phone today.
Love my S8. It was really handy to use the iris scanner during the covid years when everyone was masked up.
I used a s9+ for 4+ years and that phone was built like a brick(I have butter fingers(like linus) and my mom actually threw the phone multiple times with anger and there were no cracks in the glass)
I've had the S10+ for almost 4 and a half years and I wanna buy the S24 Ultra but to be honest I don't have a good reason.
The phone still works very well. I guess the cameras are getting old but I watched my vlogs on a laptop and they we good.
I've fallen victim to marketing, honestly.
The jump from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy S6 was the jump to the modern smart phone aesthetically era
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.
Yea it even had the variable aperture camera and stereo speakers too, it also had a great quality dac for the headphone jack
Note 9 was peak.
I agree with you, the last Samsung Galaxy S with both headphone jack and microSD card slot, plus still has a lot of the modern features like full front screen (almost). In fact it's my main phone to this day.
My biggest gripe is the sides of the phone curving over the edge. Almost wish I got the S10e with the flat screen with no curves. I get a lot of missed inputs that can be frustrating at times because the screen simply won't respond because some of my fingers are 'bleeding' over the edges and touching the screen. The curved screen may have been popular for looking cool, but functionally it was annoying. Many people agree including Marques himself.
Note 20 ultra is peak
Using it currently. Still holds up incredibly well!
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.
Wow 😂
I didn't know that before. Tks for telling us this funny knowledge. Love from North Korea.
ohhhh that makes sense why Samsung is a sponsor for T1
Wow thanks for the info! My brother is also from South Korea but we didn’t know that about Samsung 😁
@@iammegatron744haha..wait what
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.
Ye I think only the US version was different because in Europe it was the way you explain it
same for Germany
Yes I think other than the US, we all got the GT-I9100 "International" version with the textured removable back.
Similar story for the S1. The one we got in the UK had a physical home button, more rounded on the sides.
Yeah, this version with a button has much sleeker design
Galaxy S7 was my first experience with Android, never went back to Apple other than an iPad, but eventually went from that to a Galaxy S20+, then the Z Flip 3. Now I'm onto the Galaxy S24 Ultra and they've really come a long way since the S7.
I love my s7 too before it got stolen. I used them more multifunctional like sport device, test camera and edit them on lightroom mobile, and many more. Also I kinda feel downgrade when I experienced A52. Because the IP rating kinda useless because the glue itself is not that resistant to heat after playing games. Never I had that kind experience on my S7. And my S7 is kinda goat in my opinion because I never repair myself and any kind service center due to still in good condition for 4 years using that phone.
S9 plus was peak. SD card, waterproof, headphone jack, heartrate sensor, customizable hotkey, buttons on the correct sides, symmetric display without cutouts, dualsim etc. Only things missing are removable battery, FM, and IR blaster I think?
And iOS
Indeed! I've had the s9+ since 2018 and the only reason i had to change it was because of a malfunctioning sd card i bought. It ruined the OS. Still have the phone though and it's still working great!
Shut up, apple fan@@Paniekzaaiertje
Loved my S9+ but the battery was on it's last legs and I was tired of carrying a power bank around so upgraded to an S23U a few months ago due to a deal I couldn't refuse 😉 Hope it lasts as long as the S9+ (and the Note4 it replaced)
I think that S10 5G was the peak.
28:51 Fun fact, the S9+ was actually the first samsung S phone with multiple rear cameras with a total of 2.
Yes
Sure but this video is about base models only. S9 - 1 camera, S10 - 3 cameras

In my opinion, S10+ was the best S of all ! Especially with 512GB & 1 TB versions, they had ceramic back ! Also, S10+ was the last Samsung's flagship with heart rate sensor, headphone jack, IR-blaster, sd card slot, bixby button and horizontal cameras ! Amazing work and tons of informations in one single video, thank you Marques !

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
Dude, they upgraded everything with the s9

@@whutthehell you are stuck in like 2009, bruh. The only Samsung part Apple uses is the display panel (but they also use LG panels). Apple has almost complete control end-to-end of the iPhone.

- 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

One UI needs a mention. It strengthened Samsung strong hold in software as best custom Android and better than Google in terms of updates until last year.
It's actually NOW better than Google. They changed their flagship update policy and now the S24 and up will get 7 years of updates
I think best custom android might be a stretch, perhaps most feature rich? it was a HUGE jump over touchwiz for sure, but at the time Oxygen OS or the Pixels implementation (which is no longer stock) were still the favoured OS of the majority of reviewers. Oxygen OS is kinda dead now because of the whole OPPO thing, but the pixel is still widely considered the best implementation of android. As for updates both are now even as you alluded to.
Both offer the same 7 years of feature updates now, so not better, but on par. I would still argue the pixel has the edge as they are FAR faster at providing updates for aging devices than Samsung is@@nvssgoat
One UI is just a rename of TouchWiz
Not my s23? :/@@nvssgoat
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.
This feature was first introduced in the galaxy S4 as I remember showing it off to my friends when I was in school
Also had that card cloning ability without NFC I used to pay using my phone everywhere before NFC was even used
Some new phones like the redmi note 10 pro also have it
Xiaomis still hqve that
@@mogee6417even worked at Walmart where they still don't have tap to pay. I think S8 was the last to have that.
Pre ordered the Samsung S24 ultra and been using it almost for a year now, as a construction worker. Went through harsh conditions and materials and I used without a case the whole time. Dropped it alot, asphalt, concrete, hardwood etc no cracks no dents just mirror scratchs probably from keys in pocket over the whole year. Very much enjoyed this phone, didnt even have to fully charge, charged it to 30 or 50% and went from there on a daily.
The S8 and S9 gen having a physically moving touch screen home button was underrated!
I loved that feature, sad to see it got removed.
you mean that vibrating pressure sensitive area?
Yes no need for tap or lock key . Good days .
I remember this, totally forgot about that!! My friend had an S9 not too long ago, I'll have to ask him how he liked it
I used to quickly unlock my phone by pressing the pressure sensitive button while I took it out of my pocket and did a swipe without ever lifting my finger. The iris scanner did the rest😂 felt smooth
You forgot to mention the S3 was THE defining moment of Samsung. They overhauled & changed everything. This new Super AMOLED display 720p and design was simply incredible. It definitely caught my eye back in the day and it’s reign was incredible. Really put it on the map imo. S4 was a tad pretty cool upgrade but S kinda got lost from the 5. S6 edge had the greatest curve, the 7’s curved was reduced and kept being reduced at time went by smh they should’ve kept the same deep curve. Still have my S9+ and LOVE that physical home button at the bottom. Sad they went away from it.
Yeah that was the turning point for all smartphones ngl not just for Samsung
I had an S3 my sophomore of high school and got SOOO many people asking me what it was with the huge screen!
@@TheAustinRichey it was a beautiful one too wow. I was never into smartphones until that phone. OLED screens are just beautiful
I had a Motorola when my friend in school bought the S3
This phone back in the day was insane
Wasn’t that s3 also the last Samsung to outsell the iPhone? Correct me if I’m wrong
Honestly what surprises me more than anything is that the s1 had an amoled screen
will amoled screens been invented in south korea by both Samsung and LG. it makes sense to use there own product.
2003: Samsung introduces the world's first active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display.
2009: Samsung releases the Samsung Galaxy, the first smartphone with an AMOLED display.
2012: LG introduces its own version of AMOLED technology.
they been using oled screen since feature phone age
It was one of the big selling points of the S1. So not really that surprising.
It has amoled because its the mother of S24 ultra
Out of all Samsungs I've had it was first S3, then S6 Edge+, Note 10+ and S23 Ultra now. I loved them all!
It is crazy how even today the S8 design still look stunning and futuristic, my favorite design from the front. I actually love the S6 back design, something about the metal and glass that makes it feel like jewelry compared to previous and future generations
Front of S8 is definitely really smooth looking and in contrast to "modern" phones screen doesn't have ugly hole in it.
But that fashion of slippery glass backs is complete garbage made to increase risk of phone breaking and needing replacing.
And in Europe Samsung's Excryment... Exynos chipset sucks by hogging 1% of battery per hour for doing absolutely nothing but maintaining standby network connection...
Unless disabling 4G, which still doesn't result in good runtime.
Omg I really wanted to have one back in the day. The best looking Samsung for me, even today
My mom still rocks a S8 plus o.o
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy Y, S3, S6, S8, S10 and S22 Ultra, and my S8 is by far my favourite. I remember when I got it I was amazed at the looks, and so was everyone I knew. I became a celebrity at school for a week when I first got it!
S10 lineup was the biggest jump n peak Samsung. It was like a start of a new era.
A very unique n distinct look that NO other phone has, still!
Several new things came up that are still around. First 5G phone, Hole punch camera, One UI, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, reverse wireless charging, minimum bezels, triple camera system n had a complete lineup of well priced flagship phones from small, medium to large. I mean S10e was just a brilliant product!
Also S10 series was the last lineup of flagship phones that had the headphone jack & a microSD card slot!
Last flagship to come with AKG headphones in the box along with charging brick & cable! In my country it also came with preapplied screen protector, OTG & a phone case! WHAT!
And probably 1st Samsung that even iPhone biased reviewers truly loved. That phone has glowing reviews from the tech community!
S10 series is truly historical & path breaking in every way.
Yeah the s10 was the best looking phone ever imo, especially in prism white
Absolutely, S10e best phone I’ve ever owned.
Also worth noting that, even if it honestly was just gimmicky at best, the S10 5G was THE FIRST mass market 5G phone. The S10 lineup was an innovator in so many ways, and looking back, it's the one that felt like it was the most giant leap forward in smartphone technology since Steve Jobs announced the iPhone.
@@PaleCentaur yes! Forgot to mention that. Thanks
Also, it is the most sold smartphone in the second hand market.

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.
Samsung fan spotted😂. Joining the club, bro🙌 Samsung has been killing it since the beginning.❤🔥
Yes i remember it did sense your finger without touching the screen, why no other phone ever did/do that?
The first wireless charging phone in the S series was not S5, but S3 - it also had 2 pins exposed and you had to buy a back cover with Qi coil. It wasn't the first mainstream phone to have Qi charging though - Nokia Lumias were ahead of Samsung with this, and IIRC the Qi was ready-to-use there with no fiddling or paying extra.
The S4 also had optional wireless charging with an optional rear conductive cover.
S5 was very underrated in my opinion. I remember how cool it was to have water resistance back in those days
S1-S24 owner here. Big fan of the Active models, S8 Active was peak Galaxy S for me. IT DIDN'T NEED A CASE. It was rugged and beautiful (dark blue color) It was water and dust resistant, plus it had a bigger battery(4000mAh) and a dedicated quick launch button on the side. The weirdest Galaxy S was definitely the first Sprint specific "Galaxy S Epic 4G" front camera, flash on rear, full sliding QWERTY keyboard, and Wi-Max 4G. It was wild at the time!
I miss the days when Samsung phones had that unique design, they were truly one of a kind.
Now their latest one copied the iPhone 15 pro exactly
Ngl the curved screens were annoying if you had bigger hands as if you used it without a case, you were going to touch the edge.
They are
they should have stuck with the s21 design
Ok
S9 plus was peak, notification LED, swipe down finger print reader, heart rate monitor, camera leap, headphone jack ❤ a gem
Peak for me was the note 2. That's only because I had it though
Agreed the S9 was reallt really good, i came from a s7 edge and pretty much everything with the s9 was better.
Dex
And a screen that easily go green
I use an app to put an RGB circle around my S23 camera cutout to emulate the notification LED from older phones. Not as bright and it is a 3rd party app, but it brought back an important feature
Goddamn i thought the s10 and s10e was peak design when it first came out, almost 5 years later i still believe that. From the size, camera placement and headphone jack. Truly a thing of beauty
I'm still using my S10e. It only downside is limited battery endurance.
Note 9 lunch edition pre-ordered, and still using it! No punch out for me...
Strangely enough i remembered the Galaxy S2 with a square home button and a squared shape camera unit at the back with the large "8.0 megapixel" written on it. It really went on the the whole square/rectangular theme all around. Damn that phone was light and easy to carry around.

Man I loved my S10, esp when I was using the iris scanner to unlock the phone when I was wearing gloves at work. But I was swayed by the trade in offer (and dying battery) to an S21 U, which I also really liked, especially since it had S Pen functionality. They gave me a free upgrade in internal storage too, which I accepted and turns out that tbh I didn't need an SD card anymore since there was so much internal storage (for me anyways) that I could ditch the SD card and not have to worry about it possibly dying on me, and having to move apps back and forth. Now on an S23U cause I thought battery would die in the S21U in 2 years like it did for the S10, but it surprisingly didn't, so gonna wait for longer than my 2 year cyclic upgrade routine since the S4 (that, and the built in stylus was better than clipping the pen on the side). I still missed my iris scanner though, especially during covid with masks.
Mark my words: in the following years they will bring the Head jack back and sell it as new feature. Result: Starting prices for the base models will start at 999$
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

The only choice is wait for the folds to get "perfect" im sure they did that on purpose
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.
100% agree, best phone I ever had.. now on the s23, also nice but nothing like my old s9..
I'm also still in love with that phone! mine died a long ago but I still keep it in its original box, in my room. I've just got the s24, a great phone, but it doesn't feel as perfect as the s9.
Agreed, it was the pinnacle of smartphone design with just RIGHT bezel size. The color options was top notch as well. I felt lucky to ever owned this phone.
Iphone noob...
Note 9 was the perfect phone
He left out Galaxy MEGA!!! It was the OG IPhone Pro Max. It was closer in size to the Pro Max than any other phone on the market since.
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
same bro
serously same
It’s the magic of the s series too that plays a role
S series is Peak Smartphone if you ask me and that's why.
i was gonna say this. It also helps that the phones are just beautiful to look at, coupled with the wallpapers.
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
Maybe he got confused with S8+ from the next year lol
Indeed, Marques should make a comment correcting this.
@@TheOnlyName Hehe) No need on this. We (fans of Marques) are here to remind that he is as human as we are, and we make mistakes😅
World before and world after will remain the same it might be an innocent mistake but every human makes mistakes all times
Another factual error :
“First usb type c” (yes it’s first on S8, but first samsung was Note7)
“First more than one camera” - galaxy s9 plus had 2 cameras
“Dual aperture gone next model” - s10 did retain the dual aperture
I think we can easily consider s8 to be the first step into moder era of smartphones. The first phone ever chellanging the bezels
One of the actual trends samsung put ahead and others followed
Ye I remember when it first launched. I was absolutely astonished by how it looked. It looked so "futuristic", in a sense. It was a completely novice thing to just remove the bezels, so seeing that happen was just so damn awsome
@@xatime2833Yeah same. All things aside, it was the first phone that really made me go "wow".
LG was first with G6
@@Rico-oz4ct not quite right because the S6 (launched 2015) started that trend. S7 Followed and then the S8 flexed its 80%. S7 had 76% while the G6 had 78% a year later. Samsung challenged the bezels first.
Formerly owned S4 mini in 2013-15, then S6 edge in 2015-18 and after owning Huawei, OnePlus and Sansung's Z series for six years [changing the phones in each 2 years], now I'm owning S24 !
Samsung S series is truly a best
S10 also has dual aperture.
My current phone, love it. For me, the best looking Galaxy S they made. Also, love the fact the camera is centered in the back of the phone.
mgight be best camera placement of all time
Nah the s21 line-up was the best looking s series
Yep, the S10 is definitely peak Galaxy S. It had every feature which proved to work in previous generations (including variable aperture), it was still leap forward from previous year, was original and recognisable, and was great to hold! S20 managed to lost lots of the great stuff in single year and even s24 is still lacking in several areas compared to s10.
What a fun it was to follow announcements of new phones from this lineup back in the days.
Yes, and it wasn't the first with more than one camera, the S9+ already had 2
True
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.
Oh man, I remember using my phone to turn off the projector in class, I thought it was the funniest thing at the time
Broo 😂 I still have my s4 till now, still using it to turn down volume
i remember my note 4 had that
Didn't know about it 😂😂😂
*Corrections:*
• "First Samsung usb type C" - Note 7
• "First more than one camera" - S9+ had 2 cameras
• "Dual aperture gone next model" - S10 did retained it
*Btw, S6-S9 kinda put the competing iPhone design to shame tbh*
Also, there was no S7 Edge Plus.
Also, S7 series also had 2 different chipsets for different regions, and Exynos on the S7 was much better than Snapdragon.
also the Note 8 had 2 cameras but sure
10:22 i'm pretty sure the galaxy s4 mostly have quad core and octa core processor.. dual core in 2014 just not cut it to be flagship..
Note 8 had 2 cameras for the first time
Also was an S8 Active.
Hey man. You are a genius. I normally don’t watch entire UA-cam videos of any kind but yours is an exemption.
Samsung Galaxy S3 was my first smartphone. I was actually living in Seoul at the time. Opened in it a taxi on my way to my apartment because I was so excited. I definitely miss the swappable battery. Was pretty nice being able to just pull a battery out of the charger at home, plug it in, and then go out at night on the town.
Had to pause watching to comment.
Seeing the S3 is so nostalgic, as a tech enthusiast it was the first truly smart phone I could afford to buy.
I had to get it imported into New Zealand and didn’t regret it one bit.
Everybody thought I was crazy having such a big phone, but I loved it. (Typing this on a 6.7 inch screen seems ironic)
Why did you have to import the s3 into new Zealand? I thought that was available at retail here considering I own a few of them that are telecom branded? Were they not available at launch.
Although I'm currently trying this on an imported google pixel.
@@Shaddow798New Zealander here, I bought mine from JB Hi-Fi on release. They were definitely available on release at retailers here, however we got the Exynos version of the S3 here and if you wanted the Snapdragon version with more RAM you had to get it imported
Can’t remember now all the details but I thought the S4 was first one available from Telecom??
Maybe I’m wrong after all these years thought I got it through a parallel importer to get an unlocked version.
I do remember loving the phone though
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 had all of them up to my current s9 + the Alpha and not one of them failed! only minor software bugs
S2 was loveee back then
S1, S3, Note 3, Note 4, S7E, Note 9, S10E, S21U, S23U, with a few other brands in the mix. at one point I averaged a new phone every 8 months 😅
my favorite, aside from my current S23U, was the Note 4. removable battery, headphone jack, etc.
@@EricJCaraballoso the note 4 was super awsome, got amazed with its pixel density anyway the note 4 edge was so rare back then. Since it wasn’t available in my country.
@@gagzd92 yes indees. It was my first experience with galaxy s series.
1st Samsung I had was a 3.2 inch screen Mini android. It was fine as a small phone, but a bit of a struggle to use, unless you had hands of a 10 yr old!
I then bought a 2nd hand S3 in perfect condition and what a dream of a phone! It was just a joy to use every day for 2.5 years.
Decided to resell it as it was 3 years old and made a 10% profit as they were still very popular!
I avoided anything top end after as they became stupidly expensive and still are!
I do have a good middle ground Samsung A51, which does plenty and isn't a crazy price!
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 could also replace the battery if need.
That is also the time when phones can still alarm even when it's off. The phone would turn itself on to do the alarm.
Yes!
@@bassyey not sure why they took it away
Man seeing the S4 again reminds me of that special era of the HTC One and the Moto X 😍
and windows phone
ye
Both awesome phones for their time.
Man the Moto X! This comment brought me back. I remember how innovative it all was. Shaking the phone twice brought up the flashlight. So convenient. Amazing phone.
Dang those dead brands were so fire back then
28:49 the Samsung S9+ had a dual camera setup, which made it the first samsung smartphone having more than one camera
Samsung note 8 comes first.....
I will never forgive them for that
that was my first phone now my lil sis phone
Lg g says hi
@@frfras7 first samsung phone brother ....not first smartphone by it was htc
For scale, I've had the same job for 10 going on 11 years. When I started, the s3 or 4 was it. Now look at what we have. Progress is wild.
The S7 Edge was peak. They called me crazy for praising a 2 year old phone back in the day, but I haven't changed my mind after having lost touch with smartphone tech for a while.
Same, the proportion and design is perfect, I'd buy my pink s7 edge again if they release it with new hardware
I had an S7 Edge, actually the exploded phone is on my shelf right now - I'm looking at it.
It was pretty decent phone, one of the best I've used... but... certainly wasn't peak Samsung. The phone cracked, it had that purple line when it cracks too, it would start to overheat, couldn't play high-end games - it was also too small for gaming, my fingers would cover up the screen, and the camera wasn't the great.
We have different definitions of peak Samsung, for sure. But I'd confidentially saying peak Samsung is the S21 (my current phone) since I mean, S22, 23 and 24 have little-to-no improvements on it, with the next peak Samsung being either the S9 or the S6 (both for innovation sakes).
The S10 wasn't so bad either 😂
I hated that phone, I managed to break the scren 3 times on it, and i have had s phones from s2 until s24 no one had those issues. I once tipped a mug over the s7 edge and the screen cracked. I twas slippery, the edge was way to much etc. There´s a reason those edges are more or less gone. S9 was awesome.
But it had the infamous pink link display issue.
I agree reliability isn't s7 edge's best suit, but I love it for it's design, the feeling of holding it, it felt like a flat soap🤣, this phone taught me how to replace phone parts, replace a phone screen, 2 logic board snatch from cheap broken screen phone, new battery and glass backplate
I wouldn't say this phone have much original parts left lol, still love this thing
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.
S9 is no different from s8
how old are you?
@@Pleasing_view the s9 has some subtle differences, but it was clearly a refinement of the S8 design rather than a leap forward. But to me, that was already the peak smartphone design so why change it?
I miss the bixby button and having the volume button on the left
for real, i used s9+ before and i still love that phone before
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 jumped from a 5s to the Note 9😭🥲🫡, sad memories bro, my S23 is not the same
its in s9 as will. which i updated its firmware to android 13 one ui 5. just as if its s20. and i like it. it dose not have the iris scanner any more. but cant say i miss it.
My Galaxy S4 was a literal pocket camera. The image quality was insane and is still good to this day. I used it to make short films too and you wouldn't believe it was filmed on a 2013 mobile device. I'd even say the camera felt better than the S6 i bought many years later. Now i own a S20 which i'm very happy about.
The S10 is so gorgeous, I would buy it if they ever bring that design back.
It was gorgeus, but i am loving the flat screen of my s24. The curve is beautiful, but not practical. Cases, screen protectors and just loss of functionality in the edges makes this desing better. And too be fair after the s10 my favorite phone ever was the iphone 4 and this design makes me think of that one.
@danilonden3782 its very hard to find a screen protector for curved screen 😵
@@StevenAydenTanRight? All my screen protectors come off after a while because of the damn curve
I had an S9 for three years and it never failed me. NEVER failed me. It was always fast. It never lagged. Timeless design. One underrated thing is the IR sensor which meant that it can unlock using your face without turning on the sun. It could detect your heart rate with a rear IR sensor omggg I wish I never traded it in
Wait, you can turn on the sun? BTW I also had the S9, loved it :)
S9+, I loved it, I sometimes just staring on how beautiful that sandwich of metal and glass was... The fingerprint on the back was super nice to use for notifications, and it took me a while to get used to my current S21 fe
Actually, in Europe, we had the s3 style from the begining, with the home physic button and two capacitive buttons for menu and back. And subtle changes on the style of the camera too. I think they look a loot cooler. I still have my s2 and s4 in a drawer. Man did I love those...
Same in Asia and Oceania. However, the US received different versions of the Galaxy S and S2, then with the S3, the US received the same design as the rest of the world but with additional branding on the back, and starting with the S10, the same overall design as the rest of the world.
The S4 is goated
S1 s2 s2 plus also had physical buttons
@@SWOTHDRA bro i remember my mom had that phone and i wanted it but the camera was sooooooooooooo bad like actually worse than an iPhone 4
Hey there 👋 😉
I love your videos and everything but there is no s7 edge plus. There was a s6 edge plus from at&t but not the s7.
❤🎉
Literally upgraded from my S8 to S24 this week; loved this video of all the updates over the years 😄
That's a huge upgrade
Literally triple the version name upgrade 8 --> 16 --> 24 😂
wow, hope u enjoy ur new s24🎉
Next phone: s72.
You've lost SD and 3.5 mm, it's a downgrade.
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. 😉
Omg yess I remember insisting that my family let me be the one to change the channel just to show off the IR remote from my s5, thought I was so cool lol
I was surprised it wasn't mentioned. I still miss that thing. 😂
@@xinn0c3nc3 Funny enough me too. There are faster phones now, but all the features that I used!? Fo-getabout-it!
Now it's all via Wi-Fi.
that's prolly the gimmick I miss the most... especially since I would be walking around the mall turning off all TVs lol. Good times...
The S1 and S2 looked quite different here in germany. The s1 had a physical home button and 2 touchbuttons like the s3, "our" s1 had no led flash, the s2 had a home button too.
I've used the s6 until 2022, then i bought a used s20 which i use still now. A fantastic device.
Yea the earlier statement about 'main' variant really needed to be said as main North American* variant!
The actual main/reference version of the s & s2 was the one sold in most countries including Europe, Asia (inc Samsungs home Korean market) etc and those had physical home buttons & fm tuners (though there were still some country specific adjustments but generally much less so than the US)
Not sure where the first one having small storage is from though, reference galaxy s had 8 and 16gb models
Becoz of apple issue?
Here in Brazil we had the home button too
Great point, it was the same for us in south africa with the galaxy S2
Wow I never knew this. I don't recognise the S1 or S2. Same in the UK. Two touch buttons and a physical Home button. The very first Galaxy Tab had those 4 touch buttons though.
I owned the very first Galaxy S on Verizon. The exact one you showed in this video. Man, that brought back a lot of memories. My brother had the other variant for Verizon with a mini "ticker tape" screen on it. It was wild days back then.
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.
Yeah, the dual aperture also stayed in the 10 series
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.
S7-S10 was peak Samsung
Remember when the 7s were exploding lmao
S4 will be forever da goat
The Note 7 exploded, but the S7 was fine @@skyoimiya
When these phones were introduced, they were some of the most powerful you could get. Nowadays the s24 barely competes with cheaper phones like the oneplus 12.
@@skyoimiya They weren't? tf are you talking about?
The S7 edge was my first "phone" (didnt have a number or data but i could use it at home) and i still love it. Design is sleek, the screen is amasing, camera quality still holds up, and only the battery is slightly falling
the S2 also already had a physical home button, at least in europe :)
yeah USA versions looked so crappy in this video lmao. All of those special carrier crap.
plus it had more balanced looking back design - rectangular camera bump, more symmetry, etc.
So did the S1
@ that's what i said
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.
Wow. Was the battery of the S10 still holding up ok by the time you were ready to upgrade?
@@robertfan332Actually, yeah. It still lasted quite a long time. Definitely not as good as the new S24, but it was still enough for a normal day's use.
With the S10, I would leave for work with 100%, come back home with 35% left. Plenty of battery in case there was an emergency, the work day was longer, or just to have as reserve.
The S24 on the other hand, heavy use all day? You're only down to 85% after the work day is done. It's insane how good the battery is.
I would have kept my S10 longer if it weren't for some snotty toddler hitting me with a shopping cart at the store. Somehow it cracked the corner of the screen. Really can't do much there, to be honest.
Wow, i upgraded from S10 -> S23 Ultra last year.
My wife got S10 but her phone is in much better condition, will upgrade hers for S25 i guess.
@avigamer7285 I think it feels the same-ish color-wise. Definitely, the S24 display is superior, though. Higher refresh rate and resolution.
@@robertfan332I just made the change from the S10 to an S21 Ultra. I refuse to pay extra money to the BS phone companies, so no S24 for me. 5 years, no battery issues. I don't really understand how that happens. I also don't understand how the phone that has been through absolute hell, my S10 is still in better condition than the S21 Ultra I got. Like I dropped that thing in oil, coolant, sand, concrete... and besides a couple scratches it's perfect. People take care of your stuff.
38:01 S24 is back to Exynos again with the Exynos 2400 (in Europe). But the Snapdragon chip is still a bit faster.
this is also true for Latin America. however, s24 ultra does have the snapdragon variant. idk if that's also the case for Europe
@@HansArteagaRomero yes s24 ultra also has SD instead of exynosin europe
SD is quite a bit faster (~10%). Inferior speed would be ok, but Exynos has also worse thermals and battery life.
@@ikuturso7570 For me SD always was just bit better not because points in benchmarks, UI was slightly smoother on these, which made experience more pleasing.

to hover your finger over the screen of the s4 and the tracker following you on screen was like magic to me back then
The fact that they don't do that anymore is so not cool
I've always been Team Android/Samsung, but one thing that is slowly making me consider iPhone is the fact that there's still a noticeable stutter/lag when scrolling through apps and navigating.
