Samsung has vowed to release the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, which features a big 6.7-inch display, in the coming months for customers who prefer a larger screen.
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and its co-releases have a beautiful design and fascinating features, such as a “Infinity O” display and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Review
The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a viable alternative to other smartphones. It possesses characteristics that would tempt any Samsung enthusiast to immediately upgrade.
The 6.1-inch Infinity Display, which spans the whole front surface of the handset, is one of the gadget’s selling factors. It leaves very little space for the bezels. The new Infinity-O screen feature is particularly noteworthy, since it crams the front-facing camera into a small hole at the top of the display. While this concept was first introduced on the Honor View 20, Samsung has now made it an official trend. Several vital sensors are concealed under the bright and vivid Super AMOLED display.
A unique feature of the Samsung Galaxy S10 is the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that is integrated into the display. Adoption of this technology simply means that there are no visible fingerprints on the device’s back or front. It is not visible! The device’s triple-lens camera is located on the device’s rear. More about this will be forthcoming.
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S10 includes a Wireless Powershare function that allows you to wirelessly charge another phone (“Qi-charging”) utilizing Wireless Powershare. The smartphone also includes the new, faster WiFi 6 protocol and HDR10+.
Display
Smartphones of Samsung are known to be stunning and of the highest quality. With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S10, the Korean giants have maintained their reputation. The device’s display is a sophisticated 6.1-inch Super AMOLED with curved edges and pixels that extend to the device’s sides. As a result of HDR10+ support, the brightness has been tuned for enhanced outdoor visibility, and the contrast and color quality are superior.
The new Infinity-O display screen design distinguishes the display. Samsung opted for a laser-cut hole in the top right corner of the screen, which houses the front-facing camera, rather than the notch-like design seen on Apple and Huawei devices. With this innovation, the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max have marginally less screen space than the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.
The larger display may lead you to believe that the device has grown in size, however this is not the case. The device’s dimensions are 149.9 x 70.4 x 7.8 mm, and its weight is 157 grams. Despite being somewhat bigger and wider than its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S9, it is significantly thinner and lighter. The Samsung Galaxy S10 features a screen-to-body ratio of 93.1%, compared to its predecessor’s 83.1%.
The Samsung Galaxy S10’s display is framed by tiny bezels at the top and bottom, with the bottom bezel being somewhat larger and featuring a thin but perceptible “chin.”
Design
The Samsung Galaxy S10’s body is composed of glass sandwiching a thin aluminum frame. The device’s back is available in a variety of hues, including Canary Yellow, Flaming Pink, Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Green, and Prism Blue. The available hues would vary by region. For instance, yellow and green will not be available in the United States.
The triple-lens camera is housed under a small bump on the device’s rear, which is easily identifiable. We are aware that Samsung’s reverse wireless charging system is concealed beneath the camera array, but we could not locate it. Thus, it is a matter of faith. In the fast settings notifications shade, Wireless Powershare is simple to activate. Place a friend’s phone or Samsung’s wireless earbuds on the lower third of the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S10 to begin charging the other device. Notably, this functionality will not function when the S10’s battery is below 30%. Quite understandable!
The on-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S10 uses Qualcomm-backed technology to create precise 3D fingerprint scans. Again, the scanner is located in the lower third of the device, this time on the front.
Along the device’s bottom edge are the USB-C port and headphone jack.
Camera
With their smartphones, Samsung seems determined to render digital cameras obsolete. The triple-lens camera on the Samsung Galaxy S10 consists of a 12MP standard lens, a 12MP optical zoom lens, and a 16MP ultra-wide lens. The camera, as one would assume, creates photographs that are clear and detailed in every area. And the background can be blurred even after the photo has been shot. On the front of the device is a 10MP camera with dual autofocus.
The camera retains useful functions such as Scene Optimizer, which now adds two new categories. There’s also enhanced AI, which makes the camera able to discriminate between a cat and a dog as well as fine-tune white balance and other characteristics. Shot Suggestions is an additional new tool that automatically levels your shots.
Additionally remarkable is the camera’s video capabilities, which have been enhanced to include Digital Video Stabilization and HDR10+ recording. With the Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung aims to provide you with everything an action camera provides.
Performance
In various variants, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is powered by the Exynos 9820 or Snapdragon 855. (depending on country). When benchmarked against the iPhone XS, the Samsung Galaxy S10 performed slightly slower (11,000 versus 11,481 for the iPhone XS). However, this does not negate the fact that the S10 has record-breaking acceleration.
The gadget comes equipped with 8GB of RAM, which appears to be the new standard for high-end handsets. That is a 100 percent increase over the 4GB of RAM that the Samsung Galaxy S9 possessed. Memory onboard is either 128GB or 512GB. There are no 64GB or 256GB options available. There is also microSD support for individuals who would like to store all of their files on their smartphone.
In addition to the previously mentioned wireless charging, the device offers a water resistance certification of 1P68. The Samsung Galaxy S10 lacks the vapor chamber cooling technology that would have made it an ideal gaming device. Even if it can still easily handle the most demanding games, cooling may become an issue at some point. Consider the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus instead if you desire the cooling feature.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 also includes WiFi 6, a next-generation capability that enables smooth transition between Wi-Fi routers. Furthermore, it is four times quicker than 802.11ax. Expect a 20% speed bump, but you’ll need a new router to take full advantage of this function.
Software & One UI
The Samsung Galaxy S10 and its 2019 counterparts ship with Android 9 Pie and the One UI. Samsung has replaced its Experience Launcher and TouchWiz with this. While there are discernible modifications in the user interface, the design still reeks of Samsung.
With the user interface of the Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung appears intent on making their handsets as one-handed functional as possible. The user interface is reminiscent of iOS, and it includes artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that enable the device to learn your usage patterns and make device operation easier and faster.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy S10 has a 3,400mAh battery, an increase of 400mAh over the S9’s 3,000mAh battery. The update is expected, given the increase in screen size. Samsung claims that the battery may last a whole day under moderate to heavy use.
Regarding charging speed, there does not appear to be any obvious gain over the Samsung Galaxy S9. This is a disadvantage for the Samsung Galaxy S10, as many smartphones now enable USB-C PD or higher power chargers. The manufacturers, however, have compensated for this by adopting the Wireless Powershare feature, which we covered earlier in this essay.
