- Will the Samsung Galaxy S10 be the first
truly bezel-less smartphone,
and how many cameras will it have?
What's up guys, Saf here on SuperSaf TV, and let's break
down these rumors and many more SuperSaf style.
Right, so the S9 was clearly an incremental update
to the S8, but the S10 will be the tenth anniversary
edition of the Samsung Galaxy S Series,
the flagship phone for Samsung
so we can expect some big changes
and there's lots to be excited about.
So let's initially, talk about the display.
A lot of you guys will already know,
that Samsung has teased
their first foldable smartphone concept
a few weeks ago,
I've covered that in detail in a previous video
which you can check out in the cards.
Unfortunately, looks like the S10 will not have
this foldable technology.
However, during that keynote, Samsung did show off
some diagrams of a few different displays
that they are working on.
The first one of these was the Infinity-U,
this is a notch that is similar
to what we've seen on the Essential phone,
there's an Infinity-V which is kind of like a U
but the V shape.
Then we have the Infinity-O, and this is really interesting
because this one has a cut-out within the display
for the front facing camera,
something that we've not seen before.
And finally, we have what Samsung is calling
New Infinity which is an almost bezel-less display design.
So recently, a lot of the leaks
and rumors of the S10 have been pointing
towards an Infinity-O design with the cutout
but we have also seen a leaked screen protector
of the Samsung Galaxy A8.
This also has this Infinity-O cutout design.
So this could mean that the S10
is going to have the New Infinity design
which is going to be almost bezel-less
and that's very, very exciting.
We've also seen some leaked screen protectors
to this effect which have pretty much
no bezels at all, but these screen protectors
could potentially also work on an Infinity-O display
where they would be just covering that cutout.
Now if Samsung do have that almost bezel-less
New Infinity design for the S10,
then where is the front-facing camera going to go?
Well, we've already seen some implementations
from manufacturers like Oppo with the Oppo Find X
and Vivo with the Vivo Nex
that have some motorized and mechanical solutions
but it looks like Samsung might be having a camera
that's going to be sitting behind the display
and if they manage to achieve this
that's going to be seriously cool.
Now, how many different variants of the S10
are we going to be seeing?
Usually we have two each year,
we have the regular version as well as the plus,
so we'll likely see a Samsung Galaxy S10
as well as an S10+, however rumors are saying
that we're going to be seeing a Lite version,
this will have the flat display
and is going to be cheaper,
but a recent report from the Wall Street Journal
states that there is another device that Samsung
is working on codenamed Beyond X.
This is likely to have a 6.7 inch display,
now that sounds really big but if there's no bezels
then the device itself physically shouldn't be
too much bigger than something
like the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.
This report also says that we're likely to have six
cameras on this special device as well as 5G support.
Six cameras in a phone?
How is that going to work?
Well, it looks like we're going to have two
in the front and four in the back.
The front cameras are likely to be similar
to what we've seen on the Google Pixel 3 and 3XL,
we have the regular angle view
as well as a wide-angle for your group shots
and regarding the four cameras at the rear
we've already seen a Samsung device
with four cameras at the rear which is the A9
and this has a primary camera
which has a regular angular view,
and then there is a telephoto camera
which is going to give you optical zoom,
then there's an ultra-wide camera
as well as a fourth camera that senses depth
for your portrait shots.
So it's likely that we might have a similar setup
to this for this special Samsung Galaxy S10.
Moving on, what about the fingerprint scanner?
Well, we've seen some recent reports
that Samsung is going to be using
Qualcomm's third generation ultrasonic
in-display fingerprint scanner.
So currently on devices like the OnePlus 6T,
we have an optical fingerprint scanner
which actually takes a 2D image,
an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
will be much more advanced and more secure.
If you do have this then this will eliminate
the need of having a fingerprint scanner
at the back and that's going to allow room
for all those cameras, and what's the new
Samsung Galaxy S10 going to be powered by?
Well, Samsung has already announced their new
Exynos 9820 processor which does boast
some seriously cool features
like 8K at 30 frames per second
as well as 4K at up to 150 frames per second.
Now, are S10s going to have 8k video recording?
I very much doubt that and that is because you need
around a 33 megapixel sensor to be able
to capture 8K footage.
This is something that I have tweeted about
before, but we can be hopeful for 4K
at possibly 120 frames a second.
That would be seriously cool.
For the software, we already know that Samsung's
been working on their new OneUI which is supposed
to be more optimized for larger displays
bringing lots of the controls
more towards the bottom
and this will be specially beneficial
if we have a massive 6.7 inch display.
In addition to those leaks and rumors
we've also heard that the Samsung Galaxy S10
may have a ceramic back, so this would make it
very very premium, and also that it might have wireless
reverse charging like we've got on something
like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro,
this is where you can use your device
to charge another device wirelessly
and that of course will be another welcomed change.
Those are the leaks and rumors that we have so far
all summed up for you.
