The Galaxy S10 and presumably the S10 + promise to be the most interesting Samsung phones in years. And there are at least two reasons for this. Firstly, the Galaxy S9 sold poorly, as they did not offer anything interesting, and the company needs to rehabilitate itself. Secondly, in 2019, the anniversary smartphone Samsung Galaxy S10 will be presented - the tenth generation of the flagship, which is bound to be truly revolutionary.

We expect the smartphone to have an under-screen fingerprint scanner, 3D face recognition, three or four main cameras and a new processor. Also, we will definitely see a completely frameless design, which we have been waiting for a long time. Read more about what the Samsung Galaxy S10 will be like below in our preview.

Design

It's possible that one version of the Samsung Galaxy S10 (possibly the S10 Mini) may not have a built-in fingerprint sensor. According to the editors of SamMobile, a more budget version of "Galaxy" is being prepared for release, where the fingerprint recognition sensor is on the side edge.

The case is protected from water and dust according to IP68 standard. At the back we will see the familiar glass cover. The number of cameras located on it remains a mystery. In light of recent events, it is possible that there will be four modules: the main, wide-angle, telephoto lens with two or three times zoom, as well as a black and white module or a separate sensor for determining the depth of field.

The phone will not lose a minijack for headphones, it will have stereo speakers and a USB Type-C charging port. The opportunity to expand internal memory smartphone.

In September, Samsung CEO DJ Koh announced that the Galaxy S10 will come in an "astonishing" range of color options. We will find out what the Koreans have prepared for us when the device comes out.

Display

The larger version of the Galaxy S10 will be equipped with a 6.2- or 6.3-inch screen, while the smaller one will have a 5.8-inch display. Super AMOLED matrices are expected, as in the previous "Galaxies".

In March 2018, Samsung patents surfaced containing drawings of a smartphone with 99% of the front panel occupied by the display. The front camera in this case can be under the screen, or be in a special drawer, like in the Vivo NEX. Obviously, the developers also hid the sensors under glass.

There is no doubt that the screen will be great, as in previous models it was their calling card. The brightness will be enough, the viewing angles should also please us. The picture will probably remain the same oversaturated, but the color rendition can be adjusted in the system settings.

Sound and communication

The company will continue to install stereo speakers. They will most likely be developed in collaboration with Samsung's Harman Kardon Corporation. Recall that in the Galaxy S9, the sound was one of the best of all smartphones. The C10 will have an audio jack, and support for aptX HD and LDAC is expected to improve the sound in wireless headphones.

Developers will install NFC, which works in Russia and other CIS countries. There is speculation that a 5G version of the S10 will be released, but there is little confirmation of this information.

Firmware

We still know almost nothing about what the company will implement in the new operating system, but we have several leaks and speculations.

First, almost certainly samsung flagship 2019 will ship with Android 9.0 P. We also expect to see a major update for Bixby as Samsung acquired Viv, a startup created by the founders of Siri. We hope this assistant will finally be useful.

It's also possible that the Galaxy S10 will have improved activity and health tracking software. According to the recently published Let’s Go Digital patent, Samsung is working on an app that detects your skin type and can offer guidelines for limiting sun exposure.

We really hope that Samsung will work on the smoothness of the firmware, because their smartphones on Exynos sometimes managed to lag more than state employees from Meizu. A dark theme will appear, and the DEX mode will also improve, which still works well.

Cameras

Samsung will install at least three lenses on the rear panel. There is no doubt about that. But why settle for three rear lenses? Insiders report that Samsung will add a second front lens to improve portrait mode performance.

Engineers will install completely new modules into the novelty (their characteristics are not yet known). The main one will be focused on improving the quality of the photo in low light. Perhaps we will be shown a 48-megapixel sensor. Telephoto (2x or 3x zoom) and wide-angle (120 degrees) lenses should also have OIS.

As for the video, there should be improvements in the aspect of stabilization. Improved HDR video technology is not excluded, because something needs to be done with the Smart HDR feature introduced by Apple. Also, thanks to the new processors, recording at 4K 120 FPS, 1080p 960 FPS, or even 8K 30 FPS can be realized, which, of course, is unlikely.

There will be two cameras in front. It is unclear what improvements this will bring, as the blur works very well without an auxiliary sensor. Perhaps the company will offer new functionality, redesigned Animoji and other goodies, AI-based selfie chips.

Performance

Samsung announced in February that it had invested $ 5.6 billion in a new plant to build 7nm chipsets. Qualcomm also recently released the first Snapdragon 855 samples using this process technology and sent them to vendors for testing.

Obviously, the international version of Galaxy S10 will be equipped with an Exynos 9820 processor, and the American version with a Snapdragon 855. Samsung's processor configuration is not yet known, but there is no doubt that the new Cortex-A76 cores that are already in the Kirin 980 will be used there. the corporation will not abandon the big.LITTLE architecture, where there will be four energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores and 4 efficient Cortex-A76 cores. But there is news that the SoC will have three clusters built on the 4 + 2 + 2 principle, not 4 + 4. The Mali-G76 should be responsible for the graphics.

It is imperative that Samsung will fit new LPDDR5 memory on the board and install UFS 3.0 storage, which will significantly increase the phone's performance. UFS 3.0, in particular, consumes less power, processes requests faster and behaves more consistently at high temperatures. LPDDR5 has faster read and write speeds to enable new content, such as 8K movie creation.

In synthetic tests AnTuTu and Geekbench, the gain should be significant. However, there are big questions about the stability of such a powerful phone, since the corporation simply may not implement high-quality heat dissipation and power supply.

Autonomy

We are waiting for an increase in the speed of the devices. Moreover, the battery capacity may change slightly or remain the same, but the energy efficiency of the components will lead to the fact that the phone can be used for longer without recharging.

Charging should be faster thanks to Qualcomm's new Quick Charge and updated technology in the Exynos 9820 SoC. Wireless charging will remain on board.

date of release

The new mobile phone should be expected to be announced at next year's Mobile World Congress, which starts on February 25th. The exact release date has not yet been disclosed. If Samsung sticks to a similar plan for the S10 as it did for the S9, the phone will hit stores in mid-March 2019.

The price is not mentioned anywhere. Given the number of innovations and the price tag for Apple products, Koreans can ask for at least $ 900, or even $ 1000 for the younger version of the flagship.

Outcome

If everything goes, as leaks and analyst reviews say, then we will see chic smartphones S10, S10 Plus and, possibly, S10 Mini, which have been waiting for a long time, but Apple and Samsung did not want to show them to us this year, rolling out the flagships. In the tenth Galaxy we will see a scattering of innovations that are really important to us as users and to the industry as a whole.

We have been waiting for real framelessness for a long time, and it is already close. The new processor also opens up wide opportunities for working with AR, video recording, photo production. Therefore, we hope that we will see these and other changes early next year in the Samsung Galaxy S10.

Tenth flagship Samsung and big changes.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 could be the most exciting phone of 2019, but only if the company makes some radical changes.

The range gave us some cool phones, but they didn’t reach 10 stars, so we are waiting for major changes that will help the manufacturer remain a leader in the face of fierce competition from companies like Apple and Huawei.

Not much is known about the Galaxy S10 at the moment, but we're already getting the first rumors, some of which you can find below.

And below you will find a list of our wishes, including a fingerprint scanner built into the screen and new design... The good news is, if early rumors are to be believed, we might be getting at least one of these features.

In pursuit!

• What is it? Samsung's next flagship;
• How much is? Traditionally, very expensive;
• When to expect? Probably early 2019;

SAMSUNGGALAXYS10: RELEASE DATE

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is likely to launch in early 2019. More specifically, we would bet on January, at CES 2019, there is already one rumor confirming this. The exhibition will take place from 8 to 11 January.

Otherwise, the smartphone could go on release at MWC 2019, as Samsung announced the Galaxy S9 range at MWC 2018.

Next year's show will take place between February 25-29, so mark the dates on your calendar if you would like to see the next S.

FollowingGalaxyS fromSamsung is likely to launch in early 2019.

Samsung doesn't always state its Galaxy S flagships in the same way, but the latest models were unveiled in the first months of the year, so we'd be surprised not to find the Samsung Galaxy S10 until the end of March 2019. Of course, whenever a smartphone is announced by a manufacturer, it cannot be bought on the same day.

When the smartphone goes on sale, it will be expensive. There is no pricing information yet, but the Galaxy S9 started at $ 720 (£ 43,000), while the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus went on sale for $ 840 (£ 50,000), so we expect the Galaxy S10 range to be no less expensive. ...

SAMSUNGGALAXYS10: NEWS AND RUMORS

We haven't heard of the Samsung Galaxy S10 yet, but one thing that gets passed by word of mouth is the in-screen fingerprint scanner.

The latest report claims that the manufacturer is using a Qualcomm ultrasound scanner, and the fact that Vivo and Huawei have already shown their phones with similar scanners is in favor of the manufacturer, Samsung will not want to be left behind.

This is also in line with an earlier rumor, which says that until the in-screen scanner is ready for release, it will be ready next year, making the Samsung Galaxy S10 a prime candidate.

Analytical speculation is not always reliable, but it would be a smart decision if Samsung wants to compete with the iPhone's triple lens.

Three cameras can be better than two.

We've also heard that Samsung might rename the range, releasing the next model as the Samsung Galaxy X rather than the Galaxy S10. It may sound unlikely, but Ko Dong-Jin, head of Samsung's mobile division, put it this way: “We were thinking if we should keep the S in the name or rely on the numbering system,” so it's possible.

There are also thoughts on what the Samsung Galaxy S10 will run on, as it reportedly could use an undeclared one (at least in some regions). This is said to be a 7nm chipset, which is smaller and probably more powerful and more efficient than what you'll find in most 2018 flagships.

The 855 is believed to be able to support theoretical download speeds of up to 2Gbps, while the Galaxy S9 is currently capped at 1.2Gbps. However, don't expect to get close to these numbers in the real world. However, the update seems significant.

SAMSUNGGALAXYS10: WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE?

Like the Samsung Galaxy S9, it promises to be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8, so we hope Samsung fixes things up with the S10. This is what we want to see.

GALAXY S10: NEW DESIGN

Smartphone designSamsung is too well known at the moment.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 looks almost identical to the Galaxy S8, so it's time to get a new design from the South Korean company.

Whether that means a notch in the screen, new material, or even a foldable smartphone, we're counting on Samsung and new ideas.

GALAXYS10: 2/3 CAMERAS ON BOTH MODELS

While the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has a dual camera setup, the standard Galaxy S9 only has one camera. With the new Galaxy S10, we want both models to have dual cameras, or better yet, triple cameras. After all, the Huawei P20 Pro has already offered a similar solution.

Samsung has been making great cameras for its smartphones for a long time, but this year it has a decent competitor in the face of Huawei, so with the Galaxy S10 we want to see some steps forward.

The good news is that there are already rumors of a triple-lens camera, though it's unclear if this will be the standard model or just the S10 Plus.

GALAXY S10: BUILT-IN FINGERPRINT SCANNER

Rear-facing scanners will soon disappear from high-end smartphones.

Rumors of an in-screen fingerprint scanner are spreading across phones, and the Galaxy S10 is no exception, but now that other companies have released commercially available devices with this technology, we're expecting a solution from Samsung.

Having an in-screen scanner means it doesn't have to take up a fraction of the screen real estate or position itself awkwardly on the rear panel, and it looks high-tech, which will make other smartphone owners jealous.

GALAXYS10: PHOTOS BRIGHTER!

While the overall quality of the photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S9 is extremely high, some lack stabilization, while others feel unnecessarily blurry in some shooting conditions. This is especially true when there is background lighting, so we reckon the Samsung Galaxy S10 can handle it better.

GALAXY S10: IMPROVEMENTAR EMOJI

AREmoji really need some update.

AR Emoji have been one of the most hyped features of the Galaxy S9, becoming one of the least impressive aspects of the phone in practice.

There are several reasons for this. Aside from their inherently awkward nature, it can be difficult to create emojis that look like you. When you record video using emoji, facial recognition just isn't effective enough to get it right.

While AR Emoji will probably never be an important feature, if Samsung continues to use them, we'd love to see them on par with Apple's Animoji.

GALAXYS10: RUNNING TIME

Time autonomous work - a parameter that does not grow with each new generation of phones. In fact, sometimes it gets worse. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, you won't get more than a day of battery life.

While this is good enough for anyone who wants to charge their phone every night, remember that the battery will wear out over time, so the day of battery life when you buy a smartphone becomes less than a day after a year or two.

As such, we're really looking forward to improvements in the Galaxy S10's battery compartment, albeit through an increase in the battery, which was frankly small on the Galaxy S9 (3000mAh), although we'd also like the hardware and software efficiency improvements.

GALAXYS10: BOLT PANEL

We said before that we needed a new design from the Galaxy S10, but we would like it to be accompanied by a complete lack of panels. We don't want a cutout either, just a screen for the whole phone.

We are not expecting this, not least because this solution seems to involve the introduction of a camera and sensors into the screen panel, but it is possible and certainly less ambitious than the flexible smartphone that we also expect from Samsung. in 2019.

The foldable is expected to be released in 2019.

Samsung Galaxy S10 (X) (Samsung Galaxy S10 (X)), whose release date in 2019 is determined with a 90% probability, will receive more advanced features than the S9. Recently, the Korean developer has patented a number of interesting technologies that were not implemented in the flagship of this year, in addition, insiders have already reported some details about the new product.

In this article, we will publish all the news and rumors about the future model, as is the case with (at the end of the material, indicating the date of the update).

Samsung Galaxy S10: specifications

Samsung Galaxy S10 is likely to receive the next generation Qualcomm processor. Recently revealed insider Roland Quandt revealed that the next Snapdragon 855 will be a 7nm chip.

Another recent report reveals the Galaxy S10 may be compatible with the standard cellular communication 5G. New generation mobile communication 5G is expected to arrive in the first half of this year, promising broadband speeds 100 times faster than existing 4G networks.

Weibo user "Ice Universe" suggests that the Galaxy S10 will be the first 5G mobile phone, although devices from other manufacturers will appear in stores first. For example, the next generation Apple iPhone should appear with such a module in the fall of 2018. Moreover, some brands have already introduced 5G smartphones, about one of them.

An insider recently commented on the screen that will be included in the Galaxy S10, suggesting that it could deliver an incredible 93% screen-to-body ratio (for example, the S8 is 83.6%). This means that we will see an almost completely bezel-less smartphone.

Large display size may prompt Samsung to increase resolution galaxy screen S10. In the S10 model, the resolution can be promoted to standard 4K. It would be especially logical for Samsung to release its first mobile 4K in the form of Galaxy Note 9 this year.

Ice Universe suggests the Galaxy S10 will include a neural processing unit. This innovation will not be unique to mobile phones Samsung, although a similar device can already be found on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Its goal is to process any complex process using artificial intelligence and 3D processing, so the central processor can solve everyday tasks without restrictions.

Another aspect of the Galaxy S10 is the prospect of an integrated fingerprint scanner. Both Samsung and Apple have tried to add it to touch screen, but technical difficulties arose. This meant that both mega-corporations were forced to postpone plans related to fingerprint scanners. It is possible that this innovation will replace the 2019 version of Samsung's flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S10: price

Galaxy S10 pricing is arguably the most difficult aspect of forecasting. We can reasonably expect it to stay below the psychologically important $ 1,000 mark. Perhaps the suggested retail price of $ 899-949 is realistic for the Galaxy S10.

Samsung Galaxy S10: release date

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is likely to arrive in February 2019. Samsung always focuses on the specified month, and only technical difficulties can push the date of the announcement. Overall, it is unlikely that the Korean company will be distracted from this policy next year.

Samsung Galaxy S10 or Galaxy X?

Some evidence suggests the South Korean company is not in the mood for a name change, although it reportedly plans to ditch the number naming scheme that has been adopted since the Galaxy S2 launched back in May 2011. Some initial reports have already stated that the next Android flagship will debut as the Galaxy X, which is identical to the iPhone X.

Chief DJ Koh of Samsung mobile, speaking to reporters at a press conference at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bsuggested that the existing naming scheme could be updated for the next flagship of the Galaxy series. Koh, according to South Korean newspaper The Investor, said Samsung will continue to use the Galaxy brand, although the use of the S letter and numbering system is questionable.

If we look at some of the rumors, Samsung is preparing a new foldable display smartphone that will debut as the Galaxy X. This could be the next galaxy phone S from the Korean giant. What's more, the company could choose a separate name for its new flagship, and as a result launch the Galaxy X as a new model - something similar to what Apple did during the launch of the iPhone X.

Samsung has already received a large number of patents for foldable smartphones, so it is certainly pushing the technology forward for such gadgets. Will the Galaxy X be announced in 2018? This is not yet known. You can learn more about the flexible Samsung Galaxy X smartphone.

3D face recognition function (17-03-2018)

The next flagship of Samsung Electronics in 2019 will have a 3D facial recognition function similar to Face ID in the iPhone X. This was reported by the Korean edition of The Bell. According to the source, the Israeli startup Mantis Vision in collaboration with Namuga is working on the 3D camera module and the necessary software for the Samsung Galaxy S10.

Namuga supplies camera modules for Samsung's mid-range and entry-level smartphones, including the Galaxy A and J series. It also supplies Intel RealSense augmented reality cameras.

Updated 04-18-18

Samsung has decided what the next generation flagship displays - the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus - will be. They will be the traditional Infinity screens, 5.8 and 6.3 inches, respectively. The specifications have already been transferred to Samsung Display.

The camera cutout is not mentioned. An on-screen fingerprint scanner is expected to appear in the news. However, this does not mean that Samsung refuses to absolutely.

Updated 06-05-18

According to The Bell, the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 + flagships are hosted by Samsung under the internal codename Beyond. As a reminder, the Galaxy S9 was called Star before the release, and the Galaxy S8 was called Dream.

Foreign sources claim that Samsung has instructed Mantis Vision and specialists from its own Institute of Technology to develop algorithms for the face scanning system, as in the iPhone X. The final decision regarding the use of such options in future flagships has not yet been made. But sources claim that the Galaxy S10 will definitely receive a fingerprint scanner built into the screen. Samsung is allegedly already negotiating the supply of all the necessary components.

Also, it was reported that the Galaxy S10 will be presented in January next year, which is much earlier than in previous years.

Updated 15-05-18

To significantly improve the accuracy and durability of the technology, the company is developing its own ultrasonic solution. This technology is significantly more expensive and more difficult to mass produce than its optical counterpart, but in the long term it is expected that it will also be in demand in household appliances, cars and the IoT (Internet of Things) in addition to mobile devices.

The development of Samsung's ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner is reportedly complete, but its performance and accuracy should be improved for the Galaxy S10.

Updated 05.31-2018

According to the Korean edition of ETnews, Samsung Electronics will be implementing fingerprint scanning technology on the Galaxy S10 smartphone, which will be released in the first half of 2019.

Samsung has opted for ultrasonic sensors implemented under the screen. They will be sourced from Qualcomm. The OLED panel display will show on the Samsung display. Fingerprint ultrasound scanning is a technique that distinguishes the shapes and characteristics of fingerprints by altering the intensity and position of the ultrasound.

Updated 01-06-2018

KB Securities analyst Dong-won: To breathe new life into its smartphone division, Samsung, which is facing low demand for the Galaxy S9, will equip its new flagship with a triple camera and 3D sensor.

Updated 06-14-2018. The flagship can get a display with sound transmission

Samsung recently showed off its Sound Emitting Display concept at the 2018 SID conference. It has no speakers - at all. Instead of a normal speaker, sound is transmitted using vibration and bone conduction. Since the speaker is no longer needed, the top and bottom bezels of the smartphone can be further reduced to increase the screen real estate.

Updated 20-06-2018

The well-known blogger and insider Ice Universe has posted a "live" photo of the Galaxy S10 smartphone (it may turn out to be one of the prototypes, but still).

The gadget pictured coincides with previous leaks, which say that the upcoming flagship will be equipped with a sound-emitting display, eliminating the need for speakers.

Updated 24-06-2018

According to the Korean edition of The Bell, in the new generation of the flagship Samsung will completely abandon the iris scanner. In the Galaxy S10, the company plans to move entirely to an in-screen fingerprint scanner. In parallel with this, Samsung is working on an analogue of Face ID technology. Face scan with front camera does not provide the degree of security that 3D scanning provides.

Updated 06-26-2018

The Korean edition of ETNews reported that Samsung is preparing three versions of the next flagship Samsung Galaxy S10 at once - with one, two and three cameras.

Updated 06-28-2018

This time around Bell has released yet another insider report on the Galaxy S10 +. According to the information, Samsung plans to increase the diagonal of this model by 6.44 inches. According to the electronics industry, Samsung Electronics informed its parts suppliers about the specifications for the Galaxy S10 series around June 22nd. The biggest change is the size galaxy display S10 + that reaches 6.4 inches. For comparison, the screen size on the Galaxy S9 + is 6.2 inches. However, the 6.44-inch diagonal is even larger than the Galaxy Note smartphones. For example, what will be announced on August 9 is expected to have a diagonal size of 6.38 inches. This is likely a move to compete with one of the upcoming iPhone models, which is said to have a 6.46-inch diagonal.

Updated 10-07-2018

The smartphone will receive three photo modules on the rear panel. It is assumed that the main camera will use the same 12-megapixel variable aperture that is in the Samsung Galaxy S9. A pair of it will be a wide-angle module with a coverage of 123 ° - 16-megapixel with an aperture of f / 1.9. The third will be 13 MP f / 2.4. In addition, insiders talk about a dual front camera. Thus, the flagship will receive 5 cameras.

Added on 27 July 2018

Samsung Galaxy S10 received an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor instead of an optical one. It works faster and more reliably.

The model will be released in three variants.

In the first version, the difference in screen diagonals in them will be 5.8 - 6.1 - 6.4 inches. That is, choose by pocket size. The 5.8-inch version will have a rear fingerprint sensor, the rest will have a screen.

It is also possible to issue a 5-inch "midget" in three versions of Beyond from 0 to 2. In version "O" the scanner is on the side, in versions 5.8 and 6.4 inches - on the screen. They will also receive a different number of main cameras - respectively, single, double and triple.

Most likely, the announcement of the models will take place at MWC 2019 in late February, although optimists hope to be released in early January at CES 2019.

Data provided by insider site DigiTimes (Taiwan)

More recently, the hearts of Samsung users skipped a beat at the 2018 Galaxy S9. But before the owners had time to appreciate the functional features of the gadget, rumors about the future flagship Samsung Galaxy S10 began to seep into the network. Among the main leaks: the developers are ready to use a new type of battery, introduce advanced technologies and even change the name of the flagship. This information was shared by the head of the division of the South Korean corporation, Dee Jay Koh.

Fans of Samsung have already noticed that new devices are being presented at the Mobile World Congress. The Mobile Industry Achievement Show is usually held in the first quarter of the year. That is why the end of February 2019 can be considered the estimated time of the appearance of the novelty. Earlier dates look unrealistic due to the introduction of a new solid-state battery.

Smartphone specifications

The exact specifications of the next generation smartphone remain a mystery until the official release of the Galaxy S10 to the public. However, something is already known:

1. The next generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor with a chip based on 7nm technology and a possible download speed of up to 2Gbps, in comparison, the S9's performance is 1.2Gbps.
2. A 4K Ultra HD Super AMOLED smartphone display could be flexible.
3. The camera of the device will resemble the Galaxy S9 Plus with three lenses: the main one with 18 MP and a dual front camera with 10 MP.
4. RAM - 6 GB.
5. The built-in memory capacity will be 64, 256 and 512 GB.
6. The lithium-ion battery will be replaced with a 3800mAh solid-state battery, which will increase battery life.
7. 5G network support.

The list of specifications has been compiled based on all available information.

Taking into account the complex and expensive development, manufacturing costs, the cost of high-quality components, the price of the Galaxy S10 in Russia will vary from 58,500 to 62,000 rubles. Apparently, the cost will not exceed the psychological mark of $ 1,000.

Closer to the release of the Galaxy S10, photos appear on the network appearance smartphone. These are rather fake pictures of unknown devices, since the company has not yet made any official statements. The main thing that all users are sure of is that the smartphone will become truly frameless. The screen will cover 93 to 99% of the front of the device.

Galaxy S10 news and rumors

Without waiting for the official release of the Galaxy S10 smartphone, the corporation shares the news about several patented technologies. The company's engineers were able to integrate the Super AMOLED display:

• front camera;
• lighting and proximity sensors;
• speaker.

Even the fingerprint scanner has been housed under the refreshed screen. After such news from the leaders of the mobile industry, it will be difficult to wait for the official release of the smartphone in the first quarter of 2019.

Announced in February, the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip all came out with One UI 2.1, while the rest are running software version 2.0. It is reported that other flagships of the brand will soon be updated to One UI 2.1.

News archive

Not so long ago, Mobile World Congress 2018 took place, where the company's new flagship, the Galaxy S9, was presented. However, users did not have time to study all the features of the new item, as they already yearn to know everything about the future of the Samsung Galaxy S10. A lot of rumors and all sorts of leaks are already appearing on the network, but we will try to find out what is true and what is fake.

First of all, it is worth paying attention to the rumor about solid-state batteries in future-generation devices. According to the technical parameters, such batteries have an increased energy reserve in a smaller size, and also do not overheat or explode, unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries. Despite all the brilliance of the development, the introduction of such a battery in the Samsung S10 may slightly slow down the release date of the smartphone. According to the company, the developers have not yet fully explored all the nuances of the technology.

It is also known that the company intends to move away from the Galaxy S name in a different direction. At the moment, there are speculations that the new flagship will be called Galaxy X or some similar name. Obviously, this is due to the new design that the future smartphone will have.

Galaxy S10 release date

By tradition, all devices of the Galaxy S line will be presented at Mobile World Congress, which takes place in the first quarter. Accordingly, expect the future flagship not earlier than the period from January to March next year.

Samsung Galaxy S10 will be officially presented on February 20, 2019.

Dee Jay Koh, who is the head of the mobile division of the Korean company, said that most likely, the name of the future "Galaxy" will be slightly changed. It is worth noting that the line itself will remain called Galaxy, but its one-letter name “S” will be replaced with something else.

Similar samsung solution already taken in the case of the ruler budget smartphones Galaxy A, when all available Core, Prime, Mini and other brothers were combined into one "A". It looks like now is the turn of the name change flagship smartphones... Let's hope that with the new name the smartphone will get a new look.

Again, do not forget the possible delay in the official release of the Galaxy S10 due to the introduction and testing of a new type of batteries. The company certainly doesn't want a repeat of the old battery exploding incident.

Specifications Samsung Galaxy S10

The exact characteristics of the Galaxy S10 are still unknown, however, there are already a lot of leaks and insiders about the screen, processor, camera, RAM and some features. We invite you to familiarize yourself with them.

• Screen - 4K Ultra HD Super AMOLED
• CPU - 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon of the latest generation at the time of the launch of the smartphone (presumably Snapdragon 855).
• Camera - main (18 megapixels), front (10 megapixels, dual with optical stabilization and phase detection autofocus).
• RAM - 6 GB, memory type - LPDDR5.
• Main memory - 64, 256 or 512 GB.
• Battery - ~ 3800 mAh.
• Networks - 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G (600-700 MHz).

At the moment, that's all that is known. However, even this list is not accurate, so take everything with a grain of salt. But, having this list, it is worth considering in detail each item, as well as some of the specifications of the future flagship.

Screen

In a future smartphone, we expect a 4K Ultra HD Super AMOLED display that will cover at least 93% the entire front panel of the device. In addition, Samsung continues to spread rumors about a patent for a flexible display that will apparently be used in the Galaxy S10.

The point is that the new "Galaxy" can acquire a screen that will cover the front, one side and part of the rear panel. The display itself will be made in a single form factor, which, according to the design idea, should “envelop” the smartphone. The corresponding photos are already on the Internet.

A similar idea has already been implemented in the Meizu Pro 7, which has 2 displays. The second screen is for displaying notifications and hours. In addition, the rear display of the Meizu Pro 7 has found its use as a selfie mirror. However, the rear screen was separate and not a single whole with the bezel, but the developers' idea turned out to be quite interesting. We hope that Samsung will be able to bring the flexible display patent into practice, and the Samsung S10 will be a truly revolutionary and new device in every sense.

Processor, RAM, network

As befits all flagships, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 will have top-of-the-line specs to satisfy all user needs. It is expected that the heart of the device will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 series, made by 7nm process technology... This processor will be developed by Qualcomm in cooperation with Samsung specialists.

The amount of RAM and user memory is still only a guess. Obviously, the user will be allocated about 256 GB for storing applications, photos, videos and other multimedia data. Perhaps there will be a version of the smartphone with 512 GB of memory on board. It is not known exactly how much RAM the future Galaxy S10 will have. However, Samsung plans to use chips with LPDDR5 type, which significantly outperform the current LPDDR4.

It is also known that the Samsung Galaxy S10 will definitely support 5G generation networks. This network allows data transmission with a maximum latency of 1 millisecond at a speed of 15 GB / s. It should be noted that MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Tele2 are actively working on the 5G network in Russia. A record has already been set in which the operation of a new generation network was tested - a Huawei smartphone using 5G from Megafon reached a speed of 35 GB / s.

Note that 4G reaches a maximum speed of 1 GB / s with a 10 millisecond latency. Presumably, the Russians will be able to enjoy the new speed no earlier than mid-2018.

Design

What can distinguish Samsung S10 from the crowd of Chinese copies? That's right, a design that will surpass all critics' expectations. If Korean specialists, nevertheless, name a new galaxy smartphone X, then it should clearly outperform its direct competitor, the iPhone X.

Given that the future device will have a curved display, which was written about earlier, you can roughly imagine a new design. It should be a monolithic block with curved side bezels like the Galaxy S9; the screen occupies almost the entire front panel - at least 93%; from the front, the display goes through one side frame to the rear panel; no buttons other than the power / lock key.

Battery

When it comes to battery capacity, Samsung devices have no complaints. The battery charge lasts for a whole day of active use of the device - 4G, games, viewing and shooting 4K video and prolonged use of the device at maximum display brightness, which should significantly “exhaust” the smartphone.

However, recently, Korean specialists have been actively working on a new, solid-state type of batteries. This is evidenced by various reports, as well as news from Samsung. The plans of the developers include the introduction of new batteries into their wearable gadgets, and then the mass production of solid-state batteries for electric cars. According to experts, this will increase the charge capacity, while the dimensions of the battery will be quite compact.

For the future Galaxy S10, this is at least another couple of hours of work and minus a couple of centimeters in the thickness of the device. However, there is no exact data on this yet. Therefore, we can only hope for the success of the developers for the release of the smartphone.

Galaxy S10 features

Design, screen and new processor alone will not be able to win the top sales. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy S10 simply must have its own characteristics. Everyone knows that Samsung has been working on introducing a fingerprint scanner into the device display for a long time. However, the desired result has not yet been achieved. According to critics, by the release of the Galaxy S10, Korean developers should complete work on the in-display fingerprint scanner.

In addition, do not forget that Samsung has not yet introduced its analogue of Face ID technology, which is popular with iPhone X users. The iris and face scanner, even in simultaneous tandem, does not provide the comfort of use that Apple provides ... Comparing the security of Face ID and Samsung's face and iris scanner simply doesn't make sense - alas, the fruitful winner is clear.

Also, there is information that the Samsung S10 will hide speakers under its display - both spoken and stereo. This is evidenced by samsung datawho talk about the new development of the company's specialists Judging by the experts' opinion, with the right approach of the developers, the result should come with a “wow” effect. In this case, the maximum volume of the device should not be affected. We hope that everything will be successful in Korean laboratories.

Despite the requirements of users to make the future flagship extremely frameless, the company still faces some difficulties even at the concept stage. In particular, by abandoning bezels, the device runs the risk of being left without room for the front camera. According to experts, in order to position the camera matrix for selfies, at least 3-5 millimeters must be allocated at the top of the device. Accordingly, the Galaxy S10 will not be so bezel-less. At least at the top, for sure.

The solution to this problem could be a mechanical retractable front camera module. However, Korean experts cut it off at the concept stage, explaining that with such a module, the risk of device breakdowns increases. In addition, it is absurd to introduce something mechanical into a new product while the whole world is rejecting it more and more.

We left the most interesting for dessert. Perhaps the S10 will implement a revolutionary single-chip system of operation in a single bundle of a processor, a graphics module and a neural network chip. Such a module will significantly speed up the operation of the entire system, as well as its overall performance and efficiency. The work of specialists on this technology is most closely watched by critics and tech bloggers.

Samsung Galaxy S10 price in Russia and in the world

Taking into account all the development features, new components and production costs, the cost of the Samsung Galaxy S10 in Russia should start at 56,990 rubles. For other CIS countries, it may traditionally slightly increase due to local legal peculiarities. However, it is unlikely that it will be higher than $ 1,100 in equivalent.
