A mobile phone is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make and receive calls and to

send text messages, among other features. The earliest generation of mobile phones could only
make and receive calls. Today’s mobile phones, however, are packed with many additional
features, such as web browsers, games, cameras, video players and even navigational systems.

A mobile phone may also be known as a cellular phone or simply a cell phone.

A smartphone is a cellular telephone with an integrated computer and other features not
originally associated with telephones, such as an operating system, web browsing and the ability
to run software applications.

S10

The Good The Galaxy S10 Plus has a phenomenal AMOLED screen, monster battery life and loads
of useful camera tools. The option to wirelessly charge another device is convenient and really
works.

The Bad Nighttime and low-light shots on the Galaxy S10 Plus aren't as clear or crisp as dedicated
night modes on the Pixel 3 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader
isn't always fast or accurate. Mispresses on the curved edge-to-edge display are a minor
annoyance.

The Bottom Line Galaxy S10 Plus is a killer phone for 2019, although serious photographers will
find its nighttime camera shots lacking.

P30

The Good The Huawei P30 Pro's four cameras take astounding photos, its battery life is superb
and the design is beautiful.

The Bad Processor performance and screen resolution aren't up there with the best. The lack of
headphone jack will upset people with wired headphones and the P30 Pro uses proprietary
expandable storage.

The Bottom Line The Huawei P30 Pro's impressive camera skills and vibrant design easily beat the
Galaxy S10 Plus and the Pixel 3, but political entanglements mean the phone won't come to the
US.

xs

The Good The iPhone XS Max has a big, brilliant display and a little more battery life than the XS. It
benefits from the improvements that the XS also has: faster speeds, some durability and water
resistance improvements, better camera and dual-SIM support.

The Bad It's so, so, so expensive. If the iPhone Plus models were too big for your hands, this one
will be, too.

The Bottom Line The supersize iPhone XS Max crams a 6.5-inch screen and all of the same great
features of the iPhone XS into a Plus-size body -- but it's not as huge a leap up as you might think.
