Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the Galaxy S10 series which has keep the rumour mill agog for several months running. The Galaxy S10 series is comprised of the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10E. The models are arguably Samsung’s most electrifying flagships yet considering how they deviate from the predecessor in several aspects.Samsung Galaxy S10

In terms of the design, the Galaxy S10 series looks premium with the body made from glass and aluminium. The design isn’t very much different from the predecessor especially the rear design. The front is starkly different from Samsung’s previous phones, including the notch-bearing models from last year. Just as expected, the Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10E all come with the punch-hole notch, also known as hole-in-display design placed at the top right corner of the display. The Galaxy S10+ has a wider punch hole housing dual cameras while the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10E both have a single punch hole opening since they both pack a single selfie camera apiece.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ Features

The Galaxy S10 sports a 5.8-inch “Dynamic” Infinity-O AMOLED while the S10+ comes with a bigger 6.44-inch display.Both dislays have QHD+ resolutions and 19:9 aspect ratios.

Further, the design doesn’t include a physical fingerprint scanner at the rear instead, the device comes with an in-display supersonic fingerprint sensor which Samsung says is faster than the optical fingerprint sensors that made the rounds on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the OnePlus 6T.Samsung Galaxy S10

Samsung wasn’t the first OEM to announce a Snapdragon 855 phone as Xiaomi beat it to that title with the Mi 9 flagship released earlier today.

On the memory aspect, the Samsung Galaxy S10 will be available with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128 or 512GB of storage, respectively. On its part, the Galaxy S10+ comes with 6GB, 8GB, or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 512GB, and 1TB of native storage. All versions come with microSD card slots for further expansion, though we doubt anyone will ever find the need to do so on the one-terabyte version.
