Samsung S10+ Is Awesome!!!

[Lon Denard]

So I have the Crystalsky monitors and a Smart Controller but thought I'd try my new S10+ for a change of pace... Wow! So bright and clear! Seriously amazing and zero hesitations of any kind with the app. Of course, with 12GB of ram, you'd hope not but still super happy! If you don't want a Crystalsky or Smart Controller, this is definitely a good choice for a monitor...oh and it's a phone too! Bonus!

How do they compare in order of brightness and viewability in sunlight?

12GB RAM? I though all S10+ versions have only 8

Does it draw charge from the RC?

The 1TB internal storage size option carries the 12GB of RAM.

1215 nits according to DisplayMate. 17% brighter than an S9 when in high brightness mode.

So how does it do against the 1000 nits Crystal Sky? I have an S9+ and even in Super Brightness mode it isn't anywhere close to the brightness of my new Smart Controller.

I want to say I’ve seen data putting the crystal sky ~2000 nits.

There are three models; two at 1000 nits and one at 2000 nits. My S9+ is rated at 1100 nits at Max Brightness, while my Smart Controller is rated at 1000 nits, same as the two Crystal Sky monitors (not the 2000 nit model though), and the Smart Controller blows my S9+ out of the water. Even in the brightest conditions, the monitor is clear, bright and fully readable. Not so my S9+ which just blacks out.

Not to mention that you really need to switch off your data and alerts on the phone, otherwise it interferes with your screen while flying. Again, another good reason to have a CS or SC instead of a smart phone - that is if you can afford/justify the extra cost

How do you find the reduced bezel when the phone is sitting in the arms of the Mavic controller? Given there's a lot of the DJI options are down the side I was wondering if that impacts usability?

Hey, good point there. My S9+ was giving me headaches being so close to the Mavic Controller grips. I reckon you are right that the S10 would be even more of an issue in this respect.

I still think the CS monitors are better with SRE and the mat screen but it's close.

That is a function you can turn off in the controller settings.

Yep, it's one of the reasons that I purchased a Crystalsky in the first place. However, because you don't have to use the entire screen on the S10+... I thought that it works okay. The Smart Controller is still in my case and isn't going anywhere!

Yup!

How long does the S10+ sustain this peak brightness? Is it limited in time or by temp?
