- Samsung Galaxy S10, What's New and What We Already Know.
(electronic tune)
The Screen.
The Infinity-O display will make its way out to the market
attached to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+
and the S10 Lite.
The display's suggested to look like a hole punch
in the screen itself.
While it may not be the most appealing to look at,
it serves its purpose in allowing the screen
to fill in the screen with as much screen as possible.
Screen with screen.
That's what it's come down to now.
Screen to body ratio.
The larger it is, the better
and more attractive your device might look.
Even though we've been told our whole lives,
size doesn't matter,
when it comes to screen to body ratio, it does.
The S10 is going to come in several models
and suggested screen sizes.
There's a 5.8-inch, a 6.1-inch,
a 6.4-inch, and a 6.7-inch model.
Within the ranks, it's rumored
that we can expect a flat-panel LCD version,
a possible 5G version or 5G-ready.
Meaning, when the technology is either ready for the masses
or the device will be ready to power such a service,
we can expect that to be activated.
We can also expect an AMOLED display as well.
Samsung has always taken the lead here,
and I'm sure they will deliver an amazing screen as always.
Here's a screenshot of a concept
posted on Twitter by Ice universe,
a known accurate leaker of images and specs
for unreleased smartphones,
especially when it comes to Samsung.
The Fingerprint Sensor.
There is no fingerprint scanner
on the rear like the previous S models.
The pursuit of more screen has moved the fingerprint scanner
from the front of the phone to the rear,
and they never quite got it right.
Now, they've moved it under the screen itself,
all in the name of a larger screen to body ratio.
Is this the wave of the future
or is this just another two to three year trend
just like the wide notches
found on the top of most flagships in 2017 and 2018?
We are anticipating an ultrasonic
in-the-screen fingerprint sensor,
which is Qualcomm's third-generation
of ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.
But will this fingerprint sensor
be faster than the OnePlus 6T under the screen sensors?
I sure hope so.
The OnePlus 6T is an amazing device,
but under the screen sensor is a little slow
even compared to OnePlus 6T's face unlock.
I do have to give OnePlus a thumbs-up here
for taking the leap in bringing this technology
to a US-based carrier first.
Samsung is known for its cutting-edge features
and being first in the race to be first.
Samsung just likes to show up first for everything.

The Camera.
Now, this is where the rumors and reports
start to conflict with each other.
Some sources say there will be four cameras.
Others claim the S10 will only feature three.
My vote is of course for three camera lenses,
the main lens, the wide angle,
and the telescopic ones for enhanced zooming.
Personally, I couldn't ask for anything more.
So far, the renders from Ice universe
and the leaks from Evan Leaks
are not consistent with each other.
Evan Blass goes on to state on his own Twitter post
that, I hope the cutouts are offset
from the center as in the example shown at SDC.
The images are the expectations of a case manufacturer,
and since the camera is under the screen,
the camera can land just about anywhere
and the case will still be effective.
The Chip.
The Snapdragon 855 is to make its way
to the North American models
and the Eno S,
Ex, xynos,
Ex,
Exynos.
And the Exynos (chuckles) 9820 is for everyone else.
I've never compared the two,
so I have absolutely no point of reference
as to which chip performs better.
I would suggest that Sam is not going to pick a combo
that would outperform the other.
So, no matter which one you get,
I'm sure you will enjoy your experience.
Storage.
With images and movie files getting larger and larger,
it only makes sense that the storage
on our devices increase as well.
We can expect to see options
starting at 128 gigs of storage,
all the way up to 512, or even a terabyte.
You heard me, a terabyte.
When can I buy?
When do we get it?
Rumors speculate that the S10
will either be announced at World Mobile Congress
or before at its own event.
The announcement date will either be February 24th
or 25th of 2019.
And the release, suggested to be some time in March.
All in all, the Galaxy S10
is rumored to feature a lower-end budget model,
a Lite version, if you will,
and some higher end models as well,
which means we can expect one of these models
to cost at least 999 or even more
depending on the screen size and storage capacity.
Make no mistake.
Even the Lite version is going to be a killer device.
This is Samsung's response or answer to Apple's iPhone XR.
The Samsung Galaxy S line
is known for being a top-tiered, high-end smartphone,
and we have high expectations,
so the Lite version is a welcome addition to the lineup.
I hope you found this information useful.
If you are on the cusp of buying a new smartphone
and you are even considering the S10,
you only have to wait a couple more months
for the final product to be released.
So if you can hang in there, I suggest doing so
before you make your final purchase.
Buying a smartphone is not just a big decision,
it's a huge commitment.
Thanks for watching.
