What we know about Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series ahead of next week’s launch
The South Korean company’s three new flagship phones, due to be unveiled on February 20, are tipped to feature a huge redesign
Samsung has previously been announcing its new flagship phones at the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, but not this year.
Instead, the South Korean maker has chosen to unveil its new Galaxy S10 series at an “Unpacked” event in both San Francisco and London on February 20 – five days before the start of MWC, the world’s largest show for mobile devices.
The S10 series will be a massive redesign to mark Samsung’s 10th anniversary of smartphone manufacturing, and include advanced features such as a “punch-hole” screen, in-display fingerprint sensor and reverse wireless charging.
Check out what we have learned about the new phones so far from various sources.
There will be three versions
The standard S10 will have a screen size of 6.1 inches (3040 x 1440 pixels), with the high-end S10+ (plus) screen measuring 6.3 inches (3040 x 1440) and an entry-level S10e (or S10 Lite) with a 5.8-inch screen (2280 x 1080 pixels).
There might be also a 5G variant, probably called S10x, but it’s unlikely to be available until the second half of this year.
