I got my hands on Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 phones ... so what are they like?
- The South Korean technology company, which offered a peek at its new models on Wednesday, promised big changes – and delivered, writes Antonio Villas-Boas
I had some hands-on time with Samsung's new Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus – and even the Galaxy S10 5G – before Samsung’s much anticipated “Unpacked event” in San Francisco on Wednesday, and there’s a lot to talk about.
The head of Samsung's mobile division, DJ Koh, said early last year that people should expect to see significant changes in the new Galaxy S10 devices, and I’d say the company delivered.
The new Galaxy S10 phones are significantly redesigned and come with a bunch of new and updated features that make them almost indistinguishable from previous Galaxy S phones.
Here, I mainly talk about the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10 Plus, as I’ve had some time to check out working units that have a set release date.
I also talk about the Galaxy S10 5G, which isn't expected until later this year.
Check out the new Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10 5G.
Let's get this out of the way first: yes, the Galaxy S10 phones come with a headphone jack.
Headphone jack aside, here’s the full Galaxy S10 line-up, including the Galaxy S10e, the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus.
In typical Samsung fashion, the company's latest Galaxy S smartphones have an ultra-premium look and feel.
