Samsung launches a trilogy of Galaxy S10 handsets

Samsung's Unpacked 2019 event in London brought us not one, but three new Samsung phones and the most surprising part… they’re all S10s.

Yes, Samsung has given us three versions of its Galaxy S10 to choose from. There’s the flagship S10, the S10+ which is the biggest of the three, and an entry-level version called the S10e.
From what we saw at the event, these are going to be three incredible phones with super-sharp camera tech and hi-res displays.

So let’s take a look at what each one offers…


The Samsung Galaxy S10 – “The result of 10 years of pioneering research”


This is the regular sized S10 and we love its simple, yet stylish design.



Galaxy S10 key features:

· 6.1-inch Infinity-O display for stunning clarity
· Triple lens rear camera capable of ultra-wide shots
· PowerShare wireless sharing, charge other devices wirelessly from your phone
· Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, built into the screen

A stunning notch free edge-to-edge display
Despite its relatively compact design, the screen comes in at a whopping 6.1-inches and it’s what Samsung is calling its Infinity-O Display. The ‘O’ represents the small dot opening that the camera peeks through at the top-right corner.

Until very recently, Samsung has stood its ground when it comes to the notch, preferring to opt for straight lines with an uninterrupted screen. But with the Galaxy S10, the company has done something we weren’t expecting. The camera lens is embedded into the top-right corner of the screen meaning the display has been pushed right up to the edges of the phone offering an incredible viewing experience.

The S10 also offers a super-high 550ppi pixel density giving you extreme clarity and sharpness whether you’re watching movies or flicking through your photos.

A multi-lens True Vision camera
Samsung says its S10 camera will let you “shoot like a pro, without being a pro”.

The phone comes with a total of four lenses, three on the back and one on the front. On the back of the phone you get a 12MP telephoto lens, a 12MP wide-angle lens, and a 16MP ultra-wide lens. Put all of these lenses to work, and you get some incredible results.

The S10 boasts the ability to take great looking daytime shots and equally stunning night time photos thanks to its Dual Aperture.

Lots of phones come with wide-angled lenses these days, but the addition of an ultra-wide camera means you’re able to “capture the scene as you see it”, and the results can have quite an impact.

Samsung’s new ‘S’ feature lets you share your power
Here’s another first from Samsung’s ‘S’ series, a new feature called PowerShare and it’s pretty smart. It lets you wirelessly transfer power from your phone to your friends, like a kind of phone life support system.



It doesn’t just work with phones either. Charge your smartwatch, or even your headphones if they’re running low on juice.

Another first from Samsung – an in-display fingerprint scanner
This is something you’ll get on the S10 and the S10+. The Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner now sits under the display, so unlocking your phone just got a whole lot easier. Just touch the glass and your phone’s unlocked… that’s it.

It works instantly too, and in any conditions – strong sunlight, freezing temperatures, even in the rain. This is something that’s been on the horizon for some time now and we’re over the moon it’s finally here.

The Samsung S10+ - Everything you get with the S10… just bigger


Simply put, the S10+ is the big brother to the S10, it’s got all the same incredible features, just with a bigger screen.

With the amount of camera tech that Samsung has squeezed into the S10, it makes sense that they’ve released a version that comes with a huge 6.4-inch screen. It’s perfect for showing off how good the photos are.

The big screen is ideal for watching movies on the go. The 522ppi pixel density means whatever you watch, it’ll look its absolute best.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e – smaller, but everything you’d expect from an ‘S’ series phone



The Galaxy S10e, despite being the entry-level version, comes with a host of top features that would rival any current high-end handset.

It features Samsung’s impressive and immersive 5.8-inch Infinity-O display, plus it also comes with the same True Vision camera setup that you’ll find on the S10 and S10+.

On the S10e, Samsung has moved the fingerprint scanner from the back of the phone to the side, so it feels much more natural when you unlock it.

When will the S10 be available?


If you’re interested in ordering the Samsung Galaxy S10, the good news is, you won’t have to wait long.

There’s more good news, you can get an extra 50GB data boost if you pre-order with iD Mobile.

Well written article here, it's a stunning phone too.
In my opinion this is one of the best leaps in phone upgrades we've seen in a long while.

Also have to add, pretty decent deal for pre-ordering with iD, crazy amount of data. Don't know if i'd ever reach the limit on that, but i'd sure give it a try given the chance 😂
