Samsung’s newly launched flagship smartphones — Galaxy S10 series, have been very well-received. The company seems to have managed everything that matters to a regular user in one package — design, camera, performance, and battery life.
In Mainland China, according to the reports, the South Korean giant has managed to ship more than 500,000 units of its Galaxy S10 series smartphones so far. This isn’t surprising given that the company had managed to sell the same number of S10 series devices in 7 days what took 30 days for the S9 series phones.
Recently, the phone was sold out in Hong Kong within two weeks of its launch. Seeing the demand for the newly launched flagship smartphones, the sales forecast for the devices have been increased by 3 percent and Samsung is expected to sell around 40 million to 45 million units this year.
Coming to the pricing, the Galaxy S10e is priced at 4,999 Yuan and costs just 1,999 Yuan if you exchange your old device. The Galaxy S10 is priced at 5,999 Yuan but costs 2,999 Yuan with old-for-new phone offer. On the other hand, the Galaxy S10 Plus costs 6,999 Yuan but is available for 3,999 with the exchange offer.
The Galaxy S10 sports a 5.8-inch “Dynamic” Infinity-O AMOLED while the S10+ comes with a bigger 6.44-inch display. The display supports QHD+ resolutions and 19:9 aspect ratios and is HDR10+ certified. The devices come with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor which Samsung says is faster than the optical fingerprint sensors.

As for the memory configuration, the S10 will be available with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/512GB storage while the Galaxy S10 Plus comes with 6GB/8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/512GB/1TB of native storage.
