Samsung’s big launch at the ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ event on February 20 in San Francisco has the mobile industry all geared up. The South Korean tech giant is expected to release three versions of its flagship Galaxy S10 smartphone. Samsung is also tipped to announce the 5G-ready variant of the Galaxy S10 on the same day.
Traditionally, Samsung has been known to update its Galaxy S series in February, and as expected it is this year as well. The year 2018 saw the Galaxy S9 arriving, however, this year it is Samsung Galaxy S10.

The Indian Express said that the Galaxy S10 trio could arrive with a punch-hole screen and a small cut-out to give way to a front-facing camera. Barring Galaxy S10+, which is said to have a bigger pill-shaped hole along with dual front-cameras, the rest of the Samsung phones will have only one camera on the front side. Prolific leaker Evan Blass has recently shared a picture that showed the Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10E.
Rumour has it that Samsung Galaxy S10 will also have an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. However, it will only be added to the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. The Galaxy S10E will get a fingerprint scanner on the side instead of the the next generation in-display fingerprint scanner. It is being said that this ‘budget’ Galaxy S10 model will come with dual rear-facing cameras, whereas the Galaxy S10 and S10+ will come with triple cameras.

It is expected that the base models of the Galaxy S10 and S10E will arrive with 8GB and 6GB RAM. The Galaxy S10 will offer reverse wireless charging, built-in cryptocurrency wallet, a 3.5mm headphone jack and dust and water resistance capabilities.
