Samsung’s 2019 perfection has come!
The day has finally come, and the new Samsung S10 lineup has officially been announced with a total of four unique devices, and every phone brings revolutionary innovation in terms of display, camera and performance.
This new flagship lineup consists of the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10 5G. Next to all these, Samsung has released their first flexible phone, the Galaxy Fold, as well as three wearable devices, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Fit and Galaxy Buds, wireless headphones.
Samsung Galaxy S10e
Samsung Galaxy S10e is the smallest and cheapest member of the new S10 lineup and it is definitely different than the other phones of the series. Essentially, it is imagined to be the prime competitor to the Apple iPhone XR. Compared to other phones of the S10 lineup, the display is one of the most different features. In this phone we have a 5.8" Super AMOLED display with the resolution of 2280 x 1080 and the aspect ratio of 19:9. Aside from this, the phone is completely flat, it's edges are not rounded, and this will definitely come in handy for users who didn't like this design. An important information is that this phone, much the same as other S10 variants, fully supports the HDR10+ viewing mode on its AMOLED panel, which means we'll be able to see brighter colors are deeper contrast. Second difference is that Samsung didn't implement an in-display fingerprint scanner into this device. It is, instead, placed on the right side of the phone, which is far better than completely forgetting about it.
This phone will run on Exynos 9820 chipset (global version) or Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 (USA and China versions), paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage which is expandable via microSD card. Both chipsets will, with their high clocked cores, provide speed and better power consumption which translates to better autonomy for all S10 devices.
Camera is another area where an improvement is obvious. The S10e has a double camera setup, with a 12MP f/2.4 main camera (OIS and PDAF) and a 16MP f/2.2 secondary sensor. The front facing 10MP camera comes with an aperture of f/1.9 and it is located in the top right corner of the front panel.
Other interesting features is that the Galaxy S10e has a 3.5mm audio port, a USB Type-C charging port, NFC, stereo sound and water resistance. There is also a 3100 mAh battery which comes with fast charging support.
This phone will be priced at 750€.
Samsung Galaxy S10
Samsung Galaxy S10 is the main phone of the S10 family. The baseline S10 model comes with a curved 6.1" Super AMOLED display of QHD+ resolution, and very slim bezels. The S10 comes with a triple camera setup on the back, two of which are the same as in the Galaxy S10e, while there is an additional third 12MP camera that supports OIS and x2 optical zoom and has aperture of f/2.4. All three S10 versions come with the same chipset, but the S10 has another memory configuration, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Other than a bigger display, the S10 differs from the S10e in that it has an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. This device comes with a somewhat bigger battery, with the capacity of 3400 mAh, which, together with fast charging support, will enable a full day's use of the phone. Also, the Galaxy S10 is capable of wirelessly charging other devices or wearables through the Wireless PowerShare feature while connected to the charger.
This phone will be priced at 900€.
Samsung Galaxy S10+
Galaxy S10 differs from the Galaxy S10e as much as the Galaxy S10+ differs from the Galaxy S10. This device uses a 6.3", Infinity-O display, which in itself is one of the features of the whole lineup. Its Infinity-O display is so massive that the hole in the top right corner actually looks quite small. All important sensors are actually hidden behind this gorgeous and vivid Super AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution. Beneath the glass there is also an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. The Galaxy S10+ shares its internals with its cheaper brothers, but it offers somewhat different memory configurations – it comes in 6/128GB, 8/512GB and 12GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage, which is even further expandable via microSD card. Next to all this, this most expensive version comes with a double front facing camera setup, that is with an 8MP secondary camera setup. This huge, feature packed phone is powered by a 4100 mAh battery which is capable of fully charging this phone up in almost no time due to its fast charging support.
All devices in the S10 lineup come with Android 9 Pie OS, and all are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6, while their frames are built of metal. There is also the Samsung's virtual assistant Bixby as well as a whole array of other flagship sensors.
This phone will be priced at 900€.
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
The first Samsung's phone that uses the power of 5G networks. Through 5G connections, users will be able to download a whole season of their favorite TV show in only a few minutes, as well as play graphically intensive games with no lag at all. They'll also be able to enjoy crystal clear 4K video calls. The 5G model has the biggest display of all S10 devices – 6.7" in diagonal. This device is powered by a 4500 mAh battery that also comes with 25W fast charging technology. Galaxy S10 5G, hardware-wise, comes with the best possible chipset, and it's the first Samsung phone that has a quadruple camera setup. Four of them, since this device got another 3D depth of field sensor. When it comes to the memory, it comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, and it's the only device from the S10 lineup that doesn't have a microSD card slot.
This phone's price is still unknown.
