Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 19 event has unleashed a lot of new announcements, The first up being the new Galaxy Fold device, which is sure to get a lot of attention, but the S10 is one of the main device’s of the event, and it comes in 3 different options.
Let’s start of with the S10E, which is basically Samsung’s cheaper and smaller device aimed at being more compacted that the larger siblings and more affordable (relatively speaking).
The design is very much on par with the other S10 devices, but we do have thicker bezels around the device. The specs includes either the latest
Exynos 9820 processor from Samsung or the latest Snapdragon 855 from Qualcomm. 6/8GGB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage with all versions including MicroSD slots.
The included display is 5.8-inches in size and features the very best and new Dynamic AMOLED panel. This not only allows for the tiny cut out for the front facing camera, but we also get HDR10 certified support and insane levels of brightness.
A main difference in design will be the lack of the new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display, but rather on the side, similar to how Sony typically placed their sensors.
Lastly the new S10e will include 2 camera sensors on the back, rather than the 3 on the S10 and S10 Plus. The S10e gets the f/2.2, 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera and variable-aperture 12-megapixel main camera. The other devices will also get the 12MP telephoto camera as well.
The S10 and S10 Plus include a 6.1-inch display on the S10 and 6.4-inch display on the S10 Plus. Both devices like S10e include HDR10+ and can all record video in 4K HDR10+ as well.
Underneath the display we have the new Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that almost instantly unlocks the device in any conditions. The S10 and S10 Plus include an extra depth sensor on the front that allow for blurred selfie photos. Samsung also noted that both the front and rear cameras can record in UHD.
The new S10 series arrives on March 8th with pricing as follows. S10e starts at €780, the S10 starts at €930, and finally the S10 Plus start at €1050. Pricing subject to region. Full specs and colors available below.
