Samsung has taken the wraps off the Galaxy S10. Launched in three versions that differ in screen size and performance. Here are the prices
After the Galaxy Fold, Samsung's first foldable smartphone, the South Korean company also unveiled the new Galaxy S10 range. In the tenth anniversary of its most famous smartphone series, Samsung wanted to make things big by making as many as three Galaxy S10 models. The three devices have been widely anticipated in the previous weeks, with images and videos leaked online.
Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+, these are the names of the three devices launched by Samsung. They differ in screen size and some internal components. The common feature is the hole on the screen: thanks to the new Dynamic AMOLED display it was possible to insert many sensors under the screen and decrease the thickness of the upper and lower bezel. For the first time Samsung has also made a low-cost version of its top of the range. The Galaxy S10e has a smaller screen and only two rear cameras, but the processor and performance are the same as its two bigger brothers.
There will also be a special version of the Galaxy S10 with 5G support. This is the first smartphone from the South Korean company with a 5G modem. During the presentation Samsung explained how important the 5G network is for the future of connectivity and that in the coming years all smartphones will have a modem for ultra-high-speed connection. The devices can already be pre-ordered and will be available in stores from March 8.
