Samsung ’s nextUnpacked eventis set for February 20th , and while the Korean electronics giant has n’t outright said that ’s when it will announce the raw Galaxy S10 , past history and a fortune of not - so - insidious clues all but guarantee we ’ll formally see the company ’s shiny new flagship smartphone next week .
To spice up things up even more , since 2018 was a somewhat lustreless year for Samsung , rumors suggest that we could see a lot more than a couple new phones on February 20th , which makes this Unpacked more important than ever . So here ’s a roundup on everything we bed about the Galaxy S10 so far , and everything else we ’re expecting to see at Samsung Unpacked 2019 .
Models: At least three new Galaxy S10s (and maybe a couple more)
One of the biggest modification for 2019 is that based on early reports , Samsung is elaborate the Galaxy S10 line to three different manikin : the Galaxy S10E , the stock Galaxy S10 , and the up - sized Galaxy S10 + .
The E in the Samsung#GalaxyS10e ’s name stands for " Essential " . At least harmonize to some immune carrier ’s marketing cloth . If you have n’t seen it yet , here ’s what the thing seem like : https://t.co / KQW3AKPXUD

The new entry is the Galaxy S10E , where the “ E ” reportedlystands for Essential , with Samsung lay the S10E as a variety of more low-cost Galaxy S10 Lite that eschews fancy extras like rounded glass side , an in - screen fingermark reader , and three-fold rear cameras in favor of something simple and crummy .
Meanwhile , the S10 and S10 + will fill up their normal purpose as the average and prominent option in Samsung ’s portfolio . And while it has n’t been confirmed , there ’s also peach oflimited edition S10 + with a mountain of reposition , anda 4th Galaxy S10 variantin the Galaxy S10X , which will propose top - of - the - crinkle specs and a 5G - ready modem .
Design: The hole-punch camera cutout goes mainstream
For long time , the look and feeling of Samsung ’s flagship phones have been centered around curvy glass instrument panel in front and back guard together by a thin strip of Al , and on the S10 , that does n’t seem to be shift . However , with theyear of the notchnow securely behind us , Samsung had come up with something Modern to verify mass can still take selfies .

So for 2019 , after testing out the concept on themid - chain of mountains Galaxy A8S , Samsung see to be bringing its hole - punch tv camera to the Galaxy S10 as well . The main departure between a snick and a hole - lick photographic camera is that the latter sport a tv camera completely skirt by display on all side . That gives phone makers a little more freedom to contract down on bezel and determine where the front - facing camera should go , and based on numerous leak moving picture of the Galaxy S10 , it seems Samsung address the best place for its jam - punch cam is in the top correct corner of the screen .
Maybe you do n’t know this secret : the camera of the Samsung Galaxy A8s is also touchable , although it is not a screen door area . it is conclude that the Galaxy S10 continue the same.https://t.co/QHFNDth5FV

One interesting feature of the hole - lick camera is that concord to leakerIce Universe , you’re able to actuate the selfie River Cam simply by putting your fingerbreadth over the camera and get behind downwards . It ’s a neat whoremaster , though if you ’re the sort of person that concern about blur your camera lens , you may want to vamoose doing that before snapping a pic .

The other main design upgrades on the Galaxy S10 are the addition of atriple rearward photographic camera setupconsisting of standard , broad - slant , and telephoto lens , and the excreting of a rear - mounted fingerprint sensing element . or else , the Galaxy S10 will feature an in - cover fingerprint reader like we ’ve insure on theOnePlus 6Tand others . It will allow you to unlock your gimmick but by touch a destine field on the display .
For those who require an even close look , here ’s the side mounted fingerprint referee of the#GalaxyS10e … again , many more pics here : https://t.co / KQW3AKPXUDpic.twitter.com/2PNftguPEJ
As for the Galaxy 10E , since it wo n’t have an in - screen fingerprint reviewer to keep its price dispirited , it will offer a side - mounted fingerprint reader rather .
Specs: Modest upgrades, bigger batteries, and reverse wireless charging
Depending on how much you ’re uncoerced to spend , you should be able-bodied to buy a Galaxy S10 with as much as 12 GB of RAM and 1 TB of entrepot . But that ’s overkill for pretty much everyone . On more down - to - earth configs , the Galaxy S10 will offer up a temperate spec bulge over the S9 thanks to its unexampled Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 central processing unit ( orExynos 9820processor reckon on your region ) , between 4 GB and 8 GB of RAM , and 64 GB of storage ( with room for microSD too ) .
So yeah , look like that ’s emphatically happening … [ Thanks , tipster!]pic.twitter.com / CQ0nxrAGh2
What ’s somewhat more exciting are some of the smaller feature included on the Galaxy S10 such asreverse wireless charging , and the retention of the handyheadphone jack . However , these upgrades do n’t come without patronage - offs as it seems that Samsung willreportedlyforgo the front - get on iris sensor find on Galaxy S earphone go back to theGalaxy S8 .
It seems that the Galaxy S10 + is thinner than the S9 + , 7.8 millimeter wooden-headed and adapt a bombastic barrage of 4100mAh . For compare , the S9 + has a heaviness of 8.5 mm and only has a 3500mAh battery.pic.twitter.com/tkS6z1YUvN

But what might be the most impressive thing about the new Galaxy S10 is that despite Ice Universe claiming the phone will measure less than 8 mm thick , the S10 + will feature a 4,100 mAh barrage fire , which is 15 percentage larger than the 3,500 mAh stamp battery in theS9+.Here ’s hoping all the other versions of the Galaxy S10 include a battery increase just as substantial .
Infinity Flex Display: What about Samsung’s bendy phone?
In casing you were wonder what happened to Samsung ’s elastic headphone after the company tease it last declension , fear not , because Samsung posteda videoclaiming that “ the futurity will unfold on February 20th . ”

Unfortunately , there has n’t been a lot of young information about the Galaxy F sinceits initial vamper . So apart from Samsung already confirming that the gimmick has a flexible display that unfolds to 7.3 - inches in accession to a secondary “ cover screen ” on the outside of the twist , there ’s not much else to say about the Galaxy F the right way now .
Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch
As for non - phone equipment , Samsung ’s Unpacked outcome could handle us to new Samsung wireless earbuds that for the first time will be slapped with the Galaxy brand name , along with a newGalaxy Sport , which is reportedly a sleeker take on Samsung ’s current flagship smartwatch .

The former comes at a critical sentence , as Apple has already swept the market with its own wireless earbuds , so Samsung is look to amend on the current Gear IconX bud by tote up Bluetooth 5 connectivity , 8 GB of on - table depot , and a case with build - in wireless charging .

Meanwhile , therumored Galaxy Sportshould serve flesh out Samsung ’s wearable assembly line with a somewhat more affordable watch running Tizen OS . However , the main rumors we ’ve seen about the Galaxy Sport include renders showing a twist without Samsung ’s trademark rotating bezels , which not only seems like a bad move , but also calls the veracity of the leaks into question .
Expected price and availability
Based on aleaked poster spotted in Indonesia , pre - orders for the raw Galaxy S10 are expect to start out the day after the Unpacked event on February 21st , with ordersexpectedto ship out sometime in mid - March . grant to infoallegedly from the Netherlands , damage for the S10E , S10 and S10 + will start at 750 euros , 900 euros , and 1,000 euro severally .
EXCLUSIVE ! Here ’s the full list of Samsung Galaxy S10e , S10 and S10 + variant that will be come to Europe along with prescribed Pricing . This cost leaning is for Netherlands , I do n’t have for other country as of now , but the dispute should be minimum b / w European countries.pic.twitter.com/WWSFzXjnFO

That said , when you translate those chassis into U.S. dollar , prices feel a little steep , with the S10E run for around $ 850 . gratefully , Gizmodo UK reportedmore reasonable pricing for the Galaxy S10 line with the S10E starting at 670 euros , and if we take that into report and do a little adjusting based on previous Galaxy launch damage in the U.S. , I ’d expect begin Price nigher to $ 750 , $ 850 , and $ 950 or $ 1,000 for the main Galaxy S10 trio .
As for the Galaxy S10X and the Galaxy F , rumour peg both of the gimmick in the $ 1,500 to $ 1,700 range of mountains due to the extra monetary value incurred due to S10X ’s pricey 5G - ready modem , and the Galaxy F ’s pliable screen . In forgetful , neither of these two twist will be naturalistic options for a typical buyer .
But with so much info establish mainly on rumors and leaks , there ’s always elbow room for some mean solar day - of surprisal . So check back to Gizmodo on February 20th where we ’ll be alive at Samsung Unpacked 2019 covering all the young Galaxy equipment .
