Key features in specifications of Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10e

Samsung Galaxy 10 is the 1oth generation of Galaxy S series phones. Samsung needs to use this historical device to showcase its leadership in the oversaturated smartphone market.

In addition to the annual upgrade of CPU, there are some interesting and major changes in Galaxy S10 specifications.

The infinity display will be pushed to the limit: the top bezel is not enough for the camera lens and a hole in the display has to be punched. So, Samsung just named it infinity O display. You may hide the hole (cutout) using a black bar (Galaxy S10 virtual bezel) if you do not like the hole. But this will reduce the usable screen area.

So, instead of a notch, you will see the punched area for the front cameras as shown below.

The fingerprint scanner will now be embedded under the screen in Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10 5G. And it uses ultrasonic 3D scanning technique. There is no button or cutout for the fingerprint scanner. Please check this guide on how to use Galaxy S1o in-display ultrasonic fingerprint reader.

On Galaxy S10e, the fingerprint scanner will be embedded in the power button on the right side of the phone.

Wireless charging has been a standard feature since Galaxy S6. Now, Samsung will add the wireless PowerShare (reverse wireless charging) into Galaxy S10. You can use your phone as a wireless charger to charge other devices as explained in this guide.

Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, and S10 5G will be powered by Android Pie with the new One UI. Actually, if you have updated your Galaxy S9, S9+, or Note 9 to Android Pie, you are using the One UI already. You may enjoy the night mode, navigation gestures, the new Recents panel, and some other new features.

Now, it is a fashion to add more cameras in smartphones. Galaxy S10 Plus will have 3 rear cameras and 2 front cameras. Galaxy S10 will have 3 rear cameras and one front camera. Galaxy S10e will follow Galaxy S9+: 2 rear cameras and one front camera. Galaxy S10 5G have 4 rear cameras (with one time-of-flight camera) and 3 front cameras (with one ToF camera as well).
