So many Samsung employees use the unreleased Samsung phones to test them out in real world.
Sometimes it happens that they don't pay much attention to the surrounding and that results
in pictures like this.
The Galaxy S10+ has been spotted in a bus in South Korea.
The phone is in a flip cover case which explains the odd looking bezels.
The phone looks exactly the way the renders predicted it to be.
By the way, there was another Samsung employee commenting on reddit who also has the same
Galaxy S10+ with this flip cover on.
When asked about their assessment of the device, he says that the device is about the same
size as the Galaxy Note 9 but feels lighter than it.
He says the in-display fingerprint sensor works great, there's no iris scanner but said
the face scanning has been improved quite a lot.
Which kinda confirms the rumors that it'll have 3D sensors for face unlock.
When asked about the feel of the device, he said he don't know because the phone is in
a security case and if he removes it, the device will lock up which will make him lose
his job.
There are some reports out there that the Galaxy S10's in-display ultra sonic fingerprint
sensor won't work with the screen protectors on.
A case maker named Armadillotek is saying that they have the real Galaxy S10 and their
screen protectors doesn't work with the new fingerprint scanner.
This is VERY misleading, to say the least.
The Tweet comes from a case company, they are specifically talking about their 'Vanguard'
cases which look like this.
This screen protector isnt your normal glass or plastic that sits on the screen, its otterbox
style case with a plastic screen protector built in, so without extreme tolerances, there
is an airgap between the screen and screen protector until you press on it.
So its common sense that it won't work on such type of screen protectors.
And I've yet to see a person using these in real life or on the internet.
And no wonder why!
I mean why would anyone spend so much on a slim profile, curved glass, premium materials
phone and then permanently lock it in this abomination.
Anyway, rest assured the Galaxy S10 will work perfectly fine with the screen protectors
on, unless you buy this case from this company...
So a few days ago there was a rumor that Samsung would bring faster charging speeds to the
Galaxy S10 devices.
But it looks like it may not be true.
The Galaxy S10 and S10+ have surfaced on China's 3C certification website with the same charging
specifications as those we have seen on Samsung flagships since the Galaxy Note 4.
Which means the Galaxy S10 will have the same 15W wall charger.
Personally it doesn't bother me that much!
I charge my phone overnight on the wireless pad and it's been years that I plugged my
phone on the wall socket but don't get me wrong, though.
Faster charging speeds definitely would be something good to have, on paper this is a
negative given the fact that the Chinese OEM's have much higher charging rates but the adverse
to the super fast charging is the impact to the overall battery's life.
Also, Samsung might have taken into account the concerns around the battery fallout from
the Galaxy Note 7.
Anyway, consider subscribing for all the latest Galaxy S10 updates and as always I'll see
you'll tomorrow...Peace out!
