great - compact - feel
feels a lot like my xperia z5 compact (which i like); perhaps a little bigger but still nothing like the larger android phones you see everywhere (i briefly used a moto 4g and nokia 6)
this being the first lager phone that I have had, coming from the Xperia z3c, it is actually much easier to handle than what I expected. I can reach the whole screen, but only with fairly loose grip.

This is the only flagship phone (during launch...a bit dated now) that comes close to the iPhone X size. Pixel 2 has the same overall size but the bezel is damn thick!
My 2 latest phone was s8 and XZ1 compact. S8 is ergonomic nightmare for holding. Sony is super but have too big bezels. SIROCCO is a little bit weider for me. But is short and that is better. And that luxury feeling, have no other phone like this.

My 19 yo son just bought himself one of these, as his first serious phone purchase. I was trying to convince him to save a little more to get the Z3, but he wanted to purchase. Tell you what, I was really impressed on how light it was when I first held it. I guess that's due to the laminated screen instead of the glass? I'm also impressed by how nice it looks; it sure is a pretty phone. Now he just needs to get some mods.

The overall experience of this phone is very good, very light, except 4+64g is not enough and the forehead has a chin (I still think that the front fingerprint can be fully integrated into the back cover log). The sensor application is great. The screen is not bad, I think moto is the best manufacturer to use the sensor.

Compared to my S8 and iPhone XS this regular S10 feels huge. It's very hard to use one handed. I'm not thrilled about it.
Shiney aluminium on the edges
Brushed aluminium looks so much nicer, so bit disappointed in that

While physically it is crazy close to my s8, one hand usability suffers greatly (and I have big hands).
I keep refering to this as a plus mini, and display size wise it's pretty accurate (s8 and 9 plus had 6.2 inch screen while 10 is a 6.1. While slighty taller aspect ratio).
I'm not saying it isn't a "smaller" device, but it no longer "feels" like a small phone in use.

Why not go for the S10e

Mostly because of the lack in screen quality. I would have done it if the phones were identical in everything but there was a smaller one the same size as the S10e.

Full HD is already good enough, the differences is very hard to tell from the naked eyes.

For most people yes. However I've had the iPhone X and XS and now the Galaxy S10. I also have high quality 4K screens at home and 4K gaming computers. I can always tell the difference! Lol.
I am a screen quality and resolution fanatic so it is one of the most important considerations I make in a purchase.

When seeing pictures I though it would feel awkward compared with my previous S8 but it actually feels good and not that different to the S8 since they are almost the same width.
Accidental touches/palm rejection are a real issue and worse than any previous device I have used.
I am forever opening the apps in the bottom left/right of my dock or first row and often find the icon/folder moved or removed completely!
Palm rejection is especially bad when watching videos and unless you use a chunky (ish) case I have not found a good way to hold it that does not trigger something on the screen.
Think the curved screen is old-hat now tbh and would have preferred a flat one. Also think it is cheating a little as it hides what would otherwise be pretty substantial side bezels.
Overall feel its okay for me since I have big hands but I'm not a fan of the edge screen, it's just annoying when typing one-handed.
We need a reachability functionally for Android asap. And not the "one hand" feature.
Edit: Nvm, Found Reachability Cursor and it works very well. Try it out!
Oh I absolutely love it. This is coming from someone who used an S7 for 1.5 years, and a Moto X Pure before that. I found the Motorola too big, the S7 was a comfy size... But the ergonomics of the S7 never felt comfortable.
However, the S10 feels beautifully designed. Samsung managed to make a phone with a mammoth sized 6.1 inch screen feel "small", the width is perfect, I will admit it's a little bit too tall but I wouldn't have it any other way. The curve on the back of the phone and the front are the same it seems like, which makes it even nicer to hold. Also, since that the cameras, flash, etc are all on a horizontal line they don't distract you anymore from holding the phone meaning less smudges.
The bottom chin is a good thing IMO, it makes the navbar buttons a little higher up making them in a comfortable spot.
I got used to the power button position fairly quickly and now I prefer it actually.
Overall, Samsung has done an amazing job on the ergonomics of this device, it's the perfect size and it feels great in the hand.

Similar size to the Mi5 but feels quite a lot bigger due to the edge design which makes one handed use more difficult.
Got it for 2 weeks now, changed my Mi5s Plus, this one is quite smaller and very comfortable to handle (I have small hands btw). The small bezels make it a little hard sometimes as it does register touches on the sides sometimes which may be an issue at first, but I got used to it.

Did you have a thick case on the Mi 5s? There is no doubt this handles worse than the Mi 5. The GSMArena review said this is because there are no sharp edges on the sides and they are rounded, which i agree with.

Perfect feel in the hands - curved edges and back means no digging into your palm. Balance for such a large phone is perfect. They really nailed the ergos on this.
In terms of weight, coming from a 143 grams weighing iPhone 6s.. this phone feels absolutely normal, and I can't help but feel that "everyone's" complaints about the weight of the ROG 2 is completely unjustified and narrow-minded. The balance is also great on it, and surely makes things even better.
The thing I can, for now, agree with the haters, is the inability to use this phone one handed. But guess what? Now I don't "multitask" (use my phone one handed while doing something else half-bakedly) anymore and I think that's really a good thing. I still try to, it just doesn't work and forces me to put my phone away.
In terms of tactile feel, it's great, Holding it is smooth, and the screen, buttons, sides, back/case back all feel smooth, firm, but never uncomfortable.
Overall, 9/10. Without considering the battery inside. What a phone.

I saw in review, this is heavy. Yeah it is. We can not hold and chat for long time while lying. It's literally hard. Sometimes gives pain to fingers after long hold. Using the back case makes more thicker. Definitely the light weight users will take time to make it comfortable. Slightly making me to feel like having old Nokia N70. Thickness makes me to think like that.
it is indeed very heavy - thankfully i am a big guy with big hands but even then I notice after a while my hands/fingers get tired.
I run a lot as well and hold the phone in my hand, and after a while noteice that too.
Its way too big for my wife she cant hold it at all.
All phones these days are huge, around 200-215 grams with big camera bumps its just the new norm. Personally I have no problem with the size and it actually is a really good feeling phone in the hand, has grip and even though the back is plastic is feels very nice and doesn't seem to scratch too easy
It's way too heavy when you add case and screen protector. My phone is like 240g now. Hate it. Last time I buy a heavy phone
Heavy? It is
But handfeel is about density and weight distribution.
I had Oppo A5 2020 (195 Gram) before Poco X3. It felt heavier because it was less wide (720p display).
Poco X3 is okayish for the battery and screen size
Weight distribution is also fine.
Also, I have held iphone 12 pro max (my friend complained about the weight, I thought it wouldn't be that different from my Oppo) and yes because it is thinner and weighs 236 grams, it feels very heavy.
