Here’s what you can expect from the Samsung Galaxy S10
Samsung’s upcoming S10 smartphones are only set to launch in
2019, but rumours and leaks are already circling the Internet
regarding the next-generation devices.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 line-up offered a similar design to the
Galaxy S8, with various improvements and enhanced features,
such as a relocated fingerprint sensor and a dual-aperture
primary camera.
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 looks to offer a new design, however,
complete with a new set of flagship features, according to
rumours and reports on the devices.
The upcoming line-up will also reportedly vary from the
standard dual-device range we have come to expect from Samsung,
by offering three Galaxy S10
variants.
Line-up overhaul
Perhaps the biggest change in the Samsung Galaxy S10 range is
that Samsung is expected to launch the device in three models –
instead of the usual “Standard” and “Plus” variants.
Rumours state this change will allow for an entry-level Galaxy
S10 model, lacking the more expensive features of the two
variants alongside it.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 is also rumoured to have a much higher
screen-to-body ratio than the Galaxy S9, which could be
achieved by eliminating the bezel on the bottom of the device.
Samsung will also reportedly
deliver bigger batteries in its Galaxy S10
smartphones than in previous generations.
In addition to the overhauled design and line-up change,
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 is rumoured to sport features which have
previously not been seen in Galaxy smartphones.

Cutting-edge features
While the front of the S10 appears to be an almost full-screen
design, the back is set to be similar to previous devices. This
includes the placement of camera modules.
The company is said to be dropping
fingerprint sensors from its latest tablet device,
however, which means the fingerprint sensor on the back of the
Galaxy S10 may not be guaranteed.
The higher-end Galaxy S10 devices are also rumoured to
potentially feature in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensors,
while the entry-level variant will sport a capacitive sensor on
the side of the device.
The new Samsung flagship device could also replace its iris
scanner with a facial recognition array similar to that on the
Apple iPhone X.
Samsung is also rumoured to be drastically improving its camera
design for its Galaxy S10 line-up, with the S10 Plus rumoured
to have five
cameras – comprising a dual front-facing camera
set-up and a triple-camera system on the rear.
The number and types of cameras could vary according to which
Galaxy S10 model you purchase, but rumours point to improved
front and rear-facing cameras compared to current-generation
Galaxy smartphones.
Speculation exists around how Samsung will eliminate its bezels
without implementing a mechanical solution for its front-facing
camera (such as a pop-up
module), but there is currently no information on
how the display design will look on the Samsung Galaxy S10.
The Galaxy S10 smartphones are set to launch in early 2019,
following the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 later this
year.
