In April of last year, after the Note 7 burst event, the S9 battles debuted, bringing with them many new technologies, such as excellent iris recognition, providing a more gorgeous frameless design and more top performance.

However, this phone is not perfect, we hope that Samsung can let successor S10 solve some problems. Including unable to pre-fingerprint identification, no dual cameras, face recognition security issues, system bugs, and more. The restoration of all these and new features may be one of the most important aspects of the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus.

Samsung officials have not disclosed any details about the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. However, we have encountered a lot of reports and loopholes. No matter whether it is domestic or foreign, there is no airtight wall in the world. The specifications, functions, design, and prices of the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus have all been exposed.

If you are very interested in learning more about Samsung’s two new machines, follow this article to read it!

Samsung Galaxy S10: Release Date

Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus may be one month ahead of schedule compared to S9. At CES, Samsung Mobile Chief DJ Koch said that the smartphone will make its debut at the MWC in Barcelona from February 26th to March 1st 2019. Judging from the information currently available, Samsung’s release time is basically confirmed, so users who want to purchase the Galaxy S10 will be able to prepare their wallets as early as the beginning of March.

The exact date of release was not mentioned, but we expect that the press conference will be held one or two days before the start of the MWC. This is usually the case with press conferences.

DJ Koch said that the release date of the Galaxy S10 will also be announced in sunny Spain. Based on the Galaxy S9 series, the flagship product will be released one month after its release in March.

Samsung Galaxy S10: Parameters and Features

According to current news, the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus will not change much from their S9.

According to Venture Beat, Samsung will use the same curved display as the Galaxy S9 series. This means that we will see S10 series phones with a QHD+ resolution and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. The S10 and S10 Plus screens are 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches respectively.

Recall that, in addition to screen and battery size, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus configurations are the same. For successors, the situation may be different because we can foresee more differences. According to the available information, the Galaxy S10 Plus has 2 GB more memory capacity than the S10 (6 GB vs 4 GB). In order to make consumer differentiation choices, the S10 Plus may have dual camera settings, which may increase sales of the S10 Plus. All this may still mimic Apple’s upgrade strategy.

Pictured above is a Galaxy S10 retail version of the box with natives. You can look at the image above and give us more information about the Galaxy S10. Although not official, it’s not an issue. .

From the display point of view, the Galaxy S10 is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera module and OIS variable aperture, from f / 1.5 low lights to f / 2.4, with more performance. We have already seen this technology on Samsung’s high-end flip phone W2018, which has already been introduced.

What is a variable aperture?

The aperture of the camera refers to the size of the light entering the camera and reaching the opening of the sensor, that is, the part used to control the aperture of the lens. The aperture is measured in f-stops and the focal length is divided by the opening size. The smaller the aperture value, the wider the opening, allowing more light to reach the sensor. Samsung Galaxy S10 will be able to switch the aperture size of two different sizes, which has more meaning and thinking on the camera, and it also helps in the final image imaging.

Since smartphone cameras have smaller image sensors than SLR cameras, it is very important to increase the amount of light coming into the sensor if the smartphone is to continue to pursue higher image quality.

In low-light conditions, the performance of the smartphone camera is clearly at its most unfavorable; you may have observed that many night photos taken today are very noisy. A smaller aperture value can provide more light to the sensor and help solve this problem.

A large aperture is not necessarily good, but after a variable aperture is achieved, potential aberrations or distortions in the image are minimized, such as lack of sharpness, blur or flash, and a good aperture must match an excellent lens. This option of variable aperture allows photographers to gain extra creative flexibility when shooting.

So how is the Samsung Galaxy S10 implemented?

From what we saw in the W2018, Samsung’s variable aperture technology seems to work in almost the same way as a conventional variable aperture camera. The aperture is expanded and contracted by the overlap to control the size of the opening. However, Samsung’s implementation does not move between the maximum and minimum sizes to produce a series of aperture settings, but is limited to two different settings, namely f/1.5 and f/2.4. Why only two aperture options are available? We are not yet aware of this.

But for sure, Samsung can provide automatic and manual aperture control to suit a variety of users. Delivering control of the aperture to the users of professional photography will be a huge change. Samsung’s camera is very personal to me.

The retail box also mentions “super slow motion,” suggesting that the Galaxy S10 can shoot video at 1000 fps. This technology is not the first Samsung, Sony Xperia XZ Premium used the same technology, it is likely that this is Sony authorized.

Other specifications include an 8 megapixel front camera, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. The S10 Plus may be equipped with stereo speakers and comes with a free headset, both jointly developed by Samsung and AKG. There is also a waterproof and dustproof IP68 rating, consistent with the previous generation of wireless charging and improved iris recognition technology.

According to the “Korean Herald”, citing informed sources, the iris recognition lens of the Galaxy S10 will be upgraded from 2 million pixels to 3 million pixels, which will help users better identify the iris. This will help the Galaxy S10 to perform well in very bright or very dark environments, or when users wear glasses, and when they move the eyeballs and other complex situations.

In the news, the two devices will use the same chip and carry Eryngoes 9810. However, due to different circumstances such as regional authorization, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor will be used soon. This is not little suspense.

Regarding fingerprint recognition, it is likely to be the same as the previous generation and placed on the back of the fuselage. In addition to these, Eryngoes 9810 may have the first NPU chip, which may be the biggest selling point of the new machine.

This technology has been implemented in the flagship models of iPhone X and Huawei. This may be Samsung’s catch-up effort. According to reports, Samsung’s AI chip can run faster than Apple’s (600 gigs per second) ) and Huawei (4 trillion operations per second). It is possible to reveal this technology on the Samsung Galaxy S10.

Samsung officials stated that they have invested heavily in artificial intelligence and other related projects and have collaborated with professors and researchers from Korean universities to create safer and more efficient products than any other manufacturer on the market. Chip. The S10 is just a preliminary attempt and it will compete with the next generation of iPhone in the Note Series phones in the second half of the year.

On the software side, the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus will run Android Oreo based Samsung UI interface. The Bixby debuted on the Galaxy S9 series will be retained, and more interesting and fun artificial intelligence functions will be added to help the rumored Samsung Smart Speaker products come on smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy S10 series phones have recently passed FCC certification and the models have been announced, namely the SM-G960F and SM-965F. Several different versions of the device are listed this time, ending with U, U1, W, and XU. The letter U represents the U.S. operator model, U1 represents the unlocked version, W represents Canada, and XU represents the demonstrator.

The FCC ID shows a complete list of the GSM, CDMA, LTE and UMTS bands that the aircraft will support. You can find it here:

Samsung said that the new aircraft will support all major frequency bands of all operators, there will be no shielding of telecommunications, and it is not ruled that Samsung will likely launch Galaxy S10 series phones equipped with Eryngoes 9810 in China.

Speaking of the domestic media, there have been recent media reports that the S10 series phones have passed the 3C model certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Perhaps China will be one of the first wholesale sales lists. However, some natives broke the news that the most reliable launch date of the S10 line will be by the end of March.

It is worth mentioning that at the offline experience meeting held in Shenzhen on Wednesday, the president of China’s Quean Giuliani suggested in an interview that, in order to preferentially use Chinese users, although a lot of materials for mobile phones are rising, S10 is priced in China. It will be the lowest in the world. According to this meaning, perhaps the price is even lower than the S9, and once the price is close to the people, it is to want more sales.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Design

Although the official images of the two devices have not yet been released, we have a good idea of ​​the appearance of the Galaxy S10 smartphone. On Leaks, a well-known hitter released so-called CAD rendering and 360-degree video of the Galaxy S10.

He believes that the new machine may look very similar to its S9, with the exception of individual configurations, the same as the previous generation. The biggest difference is that the S10’s fingerprint recognition button may be located below the camera sensor, not the side. This is not the same as the S9. It will be more convenient to use.

The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are very successful. These two smart phones are well received by users. This time, the S10 series will be a continuation of Samsung’s design language.

Thanks to the back of the glass. Will support wireless charging technology, this can be said to be the focus of this year’s competition technology.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Price

According to last year’s model, the price of the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus bare-metals were US$725 and US$825, respectively, because Samsung’s flagship phone target is Apple, so the premium may be higher.

Although the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus may not offer more changes than the S9 series, it is rumored that the S10 series may have higher prices.

If the price goes up, we may see the domino effect. The fact is that Samsung decided to price with its Galaxy S series. If the cost of S10 is higher, we can expect the prices of LG G7, Huawei P11 and HTC U12 to be higher.
