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.

Smaller than iPhone 7 Plus despite much larger display, rounded corners, thin - ergonomy is sublime
A bit slippery but very ligjtweight and thin, subtlely rounded corners help substantially with in hand feel
The title reminded me of Flossy Carter whenever he gets to that part of his review. "It feels good in the hand"
Being thinner with rounded edges but wider, it actually feels better than my Nexus 5X. Bezel-less design is a real upgrade for me for screen size, not to mention the better hand feel. Just have to get used to the lower home button with no bezel!
Felt kind of sticky on the back when I first got mine. Thought it was my hands, but after washing them and wiping the phone down it was mostly still the same. Seems it has gotten better a bit over the past couple days though. Maybe some sort of coating on the glass on the back they did to try to make it a little less slippery?
Anyways over all the form factor itself is amazing!!! Feels good in the hand! I never would have dreamed I would buy a 6 inch display phone. But it is even a smidge smaller than my one plus 5 with a half inch smaller display! Anyone who likes 5.5 inch display phones will love this form factor. Plus the slightly curved edges give it even a better feel in the hand.
I give it a 9 out 10 for ergonomics.
Love that I can use a bulky. Safer case and still feel as if it's very thin and light in hand.

How about premium feel? My last phones in the exact order were/are ip7 -> op3t -> op5 -> ip7+ and I would say that all of them maybe except op3t have what I define as premium feel. I wanted to hear your thoughts since you mentioned you have OP5, which considering its price tag is greatly built with premium feel.
I actually cancelled my first order of V30 from South Korea, since I would not be able to cope with the fact that device, which considering all shipping costs, VAT/customs duties, would end up costing me 1000 USD, would feel cheap in hand. I will wait for it to become freely available and buy it then for ~600-700 USD.. BTW, LG has the craziest price drops - LG G6 when first became available (April, 2017) was going for 800-900 EUR . Today I can buy new LG G6 for 370 EUR. Crazy!

All the devices you listed are phones that have the outside body mostly made out of some sort of metal. So if you are equating metal with premium, then you probably won't think it feels very premium. However over all the build quality is excellent!!! No gaps, no mismatched seams, and very solid feeling. If you like phones with a glass back and metal sides, then you will love the feeling of this phone. Personally I do slightly prefer the metal feeling of the OnePlus5, but the premium feeling on this phone is still really great too.
So yes, as long as you like glass backed phones, extremely premium feeling. It's highly unlikely you'll be disappointed if you like glass backed phones.
From V20 to V30. Its much better in the hand, not as large and yet it has the slightly bigger screen size. It is the best Lg I've had in terms of build quality too.
G6 feels way way better in hand. More solid design for sure. Mind you I own both
A bit too big for Asian hands, could hardly operate with one hand, when trying to reach the upper right corner with my thumb
Went from the LG V20 to the s8 plus to the oneplus 5 to the HTC U11 to the note 8 to the iPhone 8 plus back to the note 8 then to the iPhone X back to the note 8 then the Pixel XL 2 and now the LG V30. Ergonomically speaking I have to say it's a toss up between this phone and the iPhone X. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised.

This phone is slippery as an eel. I can barely manage to hold it without droping it, but if you put it on a table or anything that's not perfectly flat it will slither away.
And it's really heavy.
Feel great with a case. I understand you might mean without the case. Yet, my biggest issue is the fingerprint scanner location. I often still press the camera lens.
Without or with case, this is the most comfortable phone I've ever held. Yes, it feels heavy at times but at least it is comfortable enough to hold that I don't really care about that.
I don't know why, but I have no issues with fps location, it is good for both aesthetics and ergonomics (other phones that uses fps on the back, always place the fps higher than on the XZ2, but it doesn't look good to me). The real issue with the fps is how flush it is to the phone's rear glass, although I have no problems with it so far, since I'm using a case.

The weight of the phone doesn't annoy me, but the slipperiness is horrible. I remember some motorola phones years ago they had a metal frame and a kevlar strengthened plastic backside and because of the structure because of the fibers it was not slippery and very stable and looked good too. You never needed a case only a screen protector. (It was even better with the screen protectors, all displays were flat in these times. I hope the flat screens come back one, because I don't see any advantage with rounded screens, for me it's only a gimmick.).
Pros: The overall size. The reason I bought this phone is because I do not like big phone. However, I find the XZ2 compact is slightly too small; hence the XZ2 size is just fine. Of course, iPhone X form factor is the best (for me).
Cons: Slippery and definitely need a case. Even with a matte case, it's spinning like crazy. However, the reason why I gave 3/5 is not because of this; nor the weight (the weight is fine for me). The actual reason is the fingerprint scanner placement and the overall ergonomics of the UI/skin. OnePlus Oxygen is far ahead in this area. I had to change the launcher to Pixel launcher just because of the notification bar. I prefer to swipe down from home to bring it down, whilst the stock Xperia UI would trigger search bar. That is not as useful.
Gosh, I have no problem with the fingerprint scanner placement. Maybe it's because I've never had one on the back before. I highly suspect that people who complain about that location simply because they are use to it being higher, not because being at the center is intrinsically wrong. In fact I think it's easier to find coming out of a pocket because it is towards the center. Whatever...
I've tried a bunch of cases and find they all help with the on desk spin factor. But I do feel a case is a must with this thing because of the slippery glass.
I'll echo others in that the shape of the back is one of the best things about the phone. People who ***** about the thickness obviously have never actually held one of these. My old XZ1 now feels too light; didn't think that would happen either.
I think ergonomics is very good with this smartphone, I don't get why is everybody complaining about it.
Yeah it's big, but for its dimensions it's quite optimized.
I've been using it for 2 days and I've already got used with the fingerprint sensor position.

Compared to my Sony ZX1 Compact this is not good phone for laying in bed watching Youtube. The edges make it uncomfortable to hold in landscape mode.
Edit: With the case, it's OK!
I find the shape and size of the phone very easy to use.
Often I use the device one handed with no issues and watch film for a few hours.
I'm thinking about upgrading to a Op7Pro. Currently I have a Nexus 6p. My main concern is the size and weight of the phone. Is it too noticable compared to the 6p?
Should I go with the 6t instead?
those freaking curved edges, man. i hate it like nothing else. always in my way, always waking the phone when carrying, always touching something while watching ytb or so. damn, samsung should be shot for inventing such a **** - and of course, all copycats copying it like crazy.

I have to agree, the curved screen edges are all form and no function. All too often, I go to tap something (such as on a webpage) on the edge of the screen, and it just feels awkward and wrong. The edges serve no purpose, except to look like a Samsung (just with no camera notch/hole!). Still a great phone, but I would have preferred a flat screen.

The curved edges also make typing more of an annoyance when in landscape mode, because the bottom row of keys flow over the edge, making them harder to hit.
This is mostly a 2 hand phone for me, though I can make do with one hand if necessary. It's not as bad as I was expecting given the massive size of the thing.
I've had the phone since day 1. OnePlus has already made huge improvements to edge rejection in the last few updates but I still get accidental touches from time to time. Not awful, but I do hope OnePlus continues to improve this.

The reviews of the curved screen are dead on. It's pretty, and also it's pretty annoying. Too easy to accidentally push the wrong thing, and not all that useful. The notifications along the sides are cool (I'd like to see more customizability there), but other than that, the screen curve's utility ends at the demo counter at Best Buy.

You can disable that edge curve somewhere in the moto app. Saw video on that.
Just got mine today and it feels great and no issues with touching the edges...have more issues with edge on OnePlus 8!
I've had this phone about 20 hours now, and....
...prerelease reviews were correct, its roundness and smoothness make it not the most grippable.-- and yet has amazing one-handed utility, so I'm not repositioning my fingers unless typing, etc. However, the only issues I've had with the edge wraps is them NOT registering light touches reliably. I've had few, if any, unintended clicks, but it find it difficult to exit apps/go home when in landscape. And impossible if I'm using the phone in a clip (like for gaming).
Would love some more options such as continuous edge lighting when charging, and more shortcuts from the little folder side button (it could ALMOST become my primary app launcher as-is, and has a great config setup). Don't love the motion required to do long inward sideswipes to go "back" over the curved edge and into the screen, but it may just be the unfamiliarity of the motion. (I am used to android 9, nova prime, and the xda navigation capsule bubble on my last 2-3 motos.
That all said, love this hardware like I haven't loved a phone in years. It feels like ridiculous horsepower in a sleek sexy package, and compared it aloud to a muscle car and day g a model. Just dread when I will drop the slippery bugger!
Have had the phone for 4 hours and the single hand use is amazing. The case that you get with it provides a lot of support while allowing to see the back (The case is a god send as a lot of places just have the plus.)

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.
