“The Galaxy S10 is designed for those who want a premium smartphone with powerful performance and sets the stage for the next generation of mobile experiences. The Galaxy S10+ takes every spec – from display, to camera, to performance – to the next level,” said Samsung.

“The Galaxy S10e is built for those who want all the premium essentials in a compact package on a flat screen. Finally, the Galaxy S10 5G is created for those who want more of everything and are ready for the fastest available speeds and the most powerful features,” said Samsung.

All the new S10 models will offer Dynamic AMOLED displays, next-generation cameras, and intelligent performance, added the company.

Samsung said all the new smartphones will be powered by 7nm or 8nm 64-bit octa-core processors, depending which market the devices are sold in.

Samsung has also punted the devices’ cameras as powerful pieces of hardware, and the S10 5G packs a quadruple camera system with dual OIS.
