Our source (who has verified their identity) tells us there'll be three versions of the S10: the regular version, a Plus version, and a flat version – interesting to hear they're bringing back the non-curved screen.   As we suspected already, the S10 will have the Infinity O display, aka the doughnut or hole-punch design whereby a hole's made in the front of the screen to contain the selfie camera and avoid having a notch.

More than just being in-screen though, this is rumored to be a third-generation ultrasonic scanner from Qualcomm, which should be more secure than most in-screen scanners, as many are optical, meaning they take a 2D scan of your print, while ultrasonic ones capture a 3D picture.

 

Alleged design,feature & other details

 

•  S10 Base version along with other models will have the Infinity O display, aka the doughnut or hole-punch design whereby a hole's made in the front of the screen to contain the selfie camera and avoid having a notch.

• An Ultrasonic in-display Fingerprint sensor which would scan the print in 3 dimension.

• Retina/IRIS scan removed , improved facial recognition instead

• Curved screen on 2 models & one flat with front facing pin hole camera at front on all

• One UI interface layered on top of android Pie

• 5G support even tho it hasn't been available publicly

• A Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820 chipset

• 3.5mm jack still intact at bottom edge

• Animojis improved . (please for the love of god delete this)

• Plus version allegedly has 1440 x 3040 resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio.

• Dual lens in the Plus version is cut into the screen as a notch & not blended into the screen like a pin hole with screen curving around it.

The S10 launch event could be February 20, 2019 (one day before MWC 2019)   Expect leaks or at least hints at either CES or in the lead up to MWC 2019Also, expect the S10 price to remain expensive at $719 / £739

 

 

For me the S10 plus details are very interesting if it turns out to be true , samsungs been learning a lot from their past mistakes , it'll be interesting to see how this turns out, new light weight UI should improve battery & overall usability,  What do you guys think? leave your comments & rants down below, how do you think the specs are & how trust worthy they are? leave a comment on that one too down below.

This is the important part, not because the phones will have it, but because every year since iPhone 7, rumors are that the next S line will drop the headphone jack, and contrary to all of them, Samsung still includes it. People fuss over rumors. Just to be clear, the case for the S10 was confirmed to have a headphone jack cut out.

[LukeSavenije]

I read headphone jack. Sold

[Dabombinable]

128GB storage at $1K USD...fuck off Samsung, your TabPro S has the same storage. And its (or was-I think its now discontinued) a far cheaper device.

that is one boring-ass looking phone

This looks more like a notch moved to the side, there's display only to the left and down of the cameras.

probably is , but polarizing reports on it. so not sure which one to trust. a proper leak site said it was the plus version, but a forbes article rumored it be on the base version of the s10 , but seeing how the specs line up , the hardware it needs to pack i'm pretty sure a larger frame on s10 plus would come under this.

[Brooksie359]

I can't wait for people who defend the notch to say how this design is stupid. Based on everyone's argument for the notch this implementation is the best because it gives the most mount of screen realistate.

if only that were true, fact to the matter is, Samsung believes that their edge display is premium, the plus is the most expensive edition, therefore it, and the standard version, will get the edge display.

Leaving the cheaper option, the Lite, with the flat screen.

Which really suck, cause I the bigger screen, bigger is better, been saying it since the OG Note and Galaxy Mega days, but can't stand the edge display.

if that leaked image is true , the dual front camera is only on the s10 plus with the front notch, which is set to be a flat screen surface. there is still hope.

 

[ThePD]

Over 880 dollars for a 'lite' version? Yeah the price on these phones is insanity. 

[Velcade]

12gb of ram is nuts.  We'll see how well a 1800 dollar phone sells.

the marketing dep is sure to fire up some dank ads for the eggheads to go head over heels to get this those that cant afford it. dat cursed apple trend , it's bleeding into this .

[Noctus]

And here's me hoping the Note 10 will be "good" value so i could sell my Note 9 and upgrade to the new tech. With that £1400 price point my hopes just got deleted.

 

Press F.

This isn't looking too appealing over my current S9 to be honest. Although 12 GB of Ram maybe it's time to sell a kidney.

[JoeCoke]

Pricing... Kill me now.

[Fasterthannothing]

Well RIP my wallet good grief I got my s9+ for less than $250 there is no way I'm paying that kind of money. I literally get a new phone every year because I love Samsung phones and usually you can get great deals on them. Looks like this is the first year I won't be upgrading to the new flagship device. The phone looks good and no notch and in screen fingerprint reader is great but that price is absolutely insane. I don't understand who thinks we want to pay almost 2k for a phone. Ok phone pricing rant over the specs on the phone (or should I say tablet with that possible 6.7 in screen) look insane I mean 12GB of ram is almost as much as my gaming computer.

[Eroda]

well i got a S9+ so i dont see the need to adopt S10+ just yet maybe S12+ will be that phone i gots to have

[LAwLz]

I've been planning on upgrading my Galaxy S7 to the Galaxy S10 for a while now, but the more I see and hear about it the less excited I get.

I don't like notches, and the "cutout" camera doesn't fix the issues I got. The issues I got are that current apps may need to be redesigned, and that in some cases the notch covers content. It also makes the screen asymmetrical which drives my OCD nuts.

 

I feel bad for app developers who will need to design their fullscreen apps with a bunch of different notch/camera placements in mind. Might as well just kill of fullscreen completely because it will be so impractical.

 

Also, if they just do the camera like that, will they be able to fit in a notification LED? Not sure if the A8s has it.

[Velcade]

I've been hitting them odd Galaxies since launch.  Let's hope the S11+ price falls down a bit.

[Doobeedoo]

Ruined. 

I really hoped they'd go for full display. Anniversary device even. The regular flat display model which I like still doesn't have a proper full display. Ugh.

The "notch" by moving the screen down and putting a second screen next to the front camera, has been a thing for a few years now from LG. I have an LG V20 (and they first did this on the V10) where it has this exact 'notch' (although the S10 has it on the right corner instead of left) to fit the camera and sensors on the front. It works great for what it is and I actually prefer having my notifications out of the way on that second screen (doesn't show this in the pic). Plus very handy for quickly opening the flashlight or switching audio tracks without having to unlock the phone or even turn the screen on. So good on samsung for using this design instead of cutting into the actual screen.
