Galaxy S10 vs iPhone XS Plus vs LG V40 vs Pixel 3 XL: which one would you get? (results)
With more than 40% of our 2808 respondents intending to vote with their wallets for the upcoming Galaxy S10, Samsung better bring it soon, and with an enticing design/hardware/Android overlay combo at that.
The 10th anniversary of the flagship Galaxy S line is expected to see no less than three S10 models announced, big and smaller, curved and flatter, with or without in-display finger scanners, to suit every taste, and most of our respondents seem to believe that Samsung can deliver a wow-ing trio.
Glass bodies, wireless charging, water-tight certification, those will be the common design themes between the S10 and its expected competitors like the iPhone XS Plus, LG V40, or Pixel 3 XL. The best of US vs the best of Korea, and you seem to side with Korea, as the iPhone and Google's handsets don't even push 30% combined. Given the expected specs and prices below, we can't blame anyone's preliminary desires for those results.
