- In addition to three new Samsung Galaxy S10s
announced today, we also had a teaser of a special edition
Samsung Galaxy S10, and that is the S10 5G.
What's up guys?
Saf here on SuperSaf TV, and I was lucky enough
to get some early hands on with this 5G edition.
If you want to find out about the Samsung Galaxy S10,
the S10+, and the S10e,
I've covered those in detail in my previous video.
I'll link them in the comments, and in the description.
In this video, we're specifically going to be taking a look
at the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.
So firstly, as the name suggests,
this version is going to support 5G,
which is going to give you some crazy fast speeds.
It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor,
with some additional chips, including the X50 Modem,
and that's what enables the 5G technology.
We're not sure if Samsung is going to have a variant
of this 5G model at a later time.
But for now, we know that it will be the 855
with these additional chips.
Now of course, Samsung could have just added these chips
to something like the S10+ and had an S10+ 5G version,
but this version is quite unique, and that's because it has
a larger display compared to the other S10s.
A 6.7 inch display.
It's got wide Quad HD+ resolution
with dynamic AMOLED technology.
The display looks absolutely beautiful,
especially at that size.
Colors are vibrant, blacks and deep viewing angles
are absolutely great too.
Now 6.7 inches sounds very large,
and that is because it is pretty large
for a smartphone display.
But I did compare it to the Note 9 in hand,
and realistically speaking, it didn't feel too different.
It was very similar in size,
and that's because it has minimal bezels.
You've got very small bezels all around the display,
and then you have the punch out.
Now the punch out is actually wider
than what we've got on the S10+,
and that's because as well as the two cameras
that we've got on the S10+,
so that's 10 megapixels with an f/1.9 aperture,
and the secondary camera for depth information.
We also have a dedicated 3D depth sensing camera.
Now, this is going to be used for some advanced AR features.
How these are exactly going to work, we're not sure yet,
but we also have the 3D depth camera
on the rear of the device.
So we have a triple camera set up,
similar to what we've got on the S10s,
so that's a primary camera with a dual aperture,
12 megapixels, f/1.5, f/2.4.
It's going to switch between these two
depending on the light in your scene.
You've got a telephoto camera,
which is going to give you two times optical zoom.
That's also at 12 megapixels.
And you have a 16 megapixel, ultra-wide camera,
and that's got an f/2.2 aperture.
Ultra-wide, great to get lots more into your shots.
I'm super happy that the S10s have this.
But as I mentioned, in addition to that,
we have the 3D depth sensing camera.
So it looks like Samsung is going to be doing
some interesting things with these depth sensing cameras,
both at the back, as well as the front.
Now there are a lot of features on the 5G model
that are the same as the other S10.
So we've got Android Pie with OneUI.
We have an ultrasonic in display fingerprint senors.
A metal and glass build, so the version I was testing out
had a metal frame with curved glass panels
on the front and back as we've seen.
But the color was quite unique,
it was this sort of blue color,
and it gave off a little bit of a rainbow reflection.
It was really interesting to see
this sort of texture at the back.
We've got stereo speakers,
one in the earpiece and one bottom firing,
and yes, we do have a 3.5mm jack, even on the 5G version.
One thing we don't have unfortunately on the 5G version,
which we have on the other versions is a micro SD card slot.
So, you can't expand the storage on the 5G version.
It comes with 8GB of ram and 256GB of storage.
As far as I'm aware, there are no other options,
at least not at launch.
Now this may change closer to the time of release,
and in terms of the battery,
we have a massive 4,500 mAh battery,
so that's larger than the S10+,
which has a 4,100 mAh battery.
We also have super fast charging,
so we have fast charging on the other S10s.
On the S10 5G, we have super fast charging,
which is around 25 watts wired.
We've got fast wireless charging 2.0,
as well as wireless power shares.
This is reverse wireless charging,
where you can use your device to charge other devices
on accessories and things like that.
These are features that we do also have on the other S10s.
Now in terms of release, I've been told
that we're looking around summer time.
This is when 5G technology would have rolled out
a little bit more, and these devices will be ready for sale.
I have not been given any information on pricing.
Considering that the S10+ comes in at around 900 pounds,
that's the starting base model,
I'd expect this to be around
the 11, 1200 pound mark personally.
Again, I'm not 100% sure about this,
this is just me guessing.
Once we've got more pricing and availability of information,
I'll be dropping that in the description below.
So, that's everything we know
about the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G so far.
We've only had a brief look,
but it looks very, very exciting.
