Specifications

Previous leaks have reported that the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have three distinct variants. The first will be a 5.8 inch flat display device with a single rear camera. This is the cheapest variant, called the Galaxy S10 Lite. The devoid variant will feature a 5.8 inch curved display and will have dual rear cameras. The third will be the ‘true flagship’ device and will have three rear cameras and two front facing cameras. There are talks of a 5G variant of the same.

Other than this, the Galaxy S10 is reported pro have slimmer bezels (but no notch), an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and various gradient colour options. The ultrasonic fingerprint reader is an existing Qualcomm technology. This is much more secure than existing ‘optical’ in-display fingerprint sensors and works in almost all conditions.

The Galaxy S10 will run on the Snapdragon 8150 chipset, according to reports. This is the latest chipset from Qualcomm and will be the next flagship offering. While the Snapdragon 8150 does notifier much improvement over the Snapdragon 845 in terms of speed, the biggest change is the addition of a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). An NPU will help better integrate the Machine Learning and AI into the chipset. Apple had introduced a dedicated NPU with its A11 Bionic Chip last year and continues to offer it in its new A12 Bionic. The addition of an NPU to a Qualcomm chipset will help bring Android devices up to speed with iPhones.

Additionally, the folding smartphone from Samsung might be facing some delays, but the Samsung Galaxy S10 is sure to steal the spotlight with its exciting new features, if the leaks are to be believed.

Samsung Galaxy S10 To Have In Display Fingerprint Reader

The Samsung Galaxy S10 will mark the 10 year anniversary of Samsung’s flagship smartphone. This time, Samsung will reportedly launch three models of the S10. What is more surprising is that they might be planning to put an in-display fingerprint reader in all three.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is reportedly launching in three variants. A phablet sized S10 Plus, an S10 and an entry-level S10 Mini. The three variants might have different features, which will lead to varied pricing. With this, Samsung aims to maximise the market for the Galaxy S10. However, despite reports that the S10 Mini will be cheaper, Samsung might ensure it has an in-display fingerprint scanner as well.

While it is rumoured that the S10 and the S10 Plus will use in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner , the S10 Mini is may use an optical fingerprint reader for the same.

Samsung has reportedly partnered with Qualcomm for the technology. According to Qualcomm, their Fingerprint Sensors ultrasonic technology is state of the art in the smartphone market. It works by using ultrasonic waves which directly penetrate the skin. Then the system maps the most intricate parts of your fingerprint. This includes details such as ridge endings and sweat pores. The technology can work through OLED, glass and aluminium surfaces.

It also works while in contact with sweat, oil and water. According to Qualcomm, it provides upto 6x more accurate biometric performance. With added security, it also ensures lower power consumption.

The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner costs around three times more than an optical one. This explains why Samsung is reportedly not providing it in the S10 Mini. An in display fingerprint scanner in all three variants is a great move, if reports are to be believed. This doesn’t force buyers to go in for the top model just to get all the features. The Samsung Galaxy S10 will be launching in February 2019, according to reports.

What makes this news even more eye-catching is that the S10+ will be equipped with a total of five cameras. Two of these cameras will be mounted at the front while the secondary camera setup will house three lenses. To get an idea of how the dual camera setup may look like we can take hints from the setup found on the Galaxy A8 and A8+.

Although a dual front-facing camera setup is nothing new for a Samsung phone, we speculate that the camera setup on the Galaxy S10+ may feature some AI capabilities. A Twitter user by the name Ice Universe has tipped that the next generation of Samsung’s premium line of SoCs will be named Exynos 9820. As per the tweet, the Exynos 9820 will be an octa-core chipset with two cores of Exynos M4, two Cortex-A75 or Cortex-A76 medium cores, and four cores of Cortex-A55. The GPU paired with this chipset will be the new Mali-G76 MP18.

Samsung's next-generation Exynos 9820 will use the 2+2+4 DynamIQ architecture, 2xExynos M4 is the big core, 2xCortex-A75 (or A76) is the medium core, and 4xA55 is the small core. pic.twitter.com/3T5AUbcWhV

The Dubell website suggests that there will be more than two phones in the Galaxy S10 lineup, apart from the S10 and S10+. The cheaper variants are rumored to be released with a watered down version of front-facing cameras while the more expensive variants could have 3D face unlock capabilities.

Samsung’s sales figure show that the last couple of years for the company have been a roller-coaster ride. The company has not changed their design for the Galaxy S lineup since the S8 and the software has not seen any out-of-the-box innovations either. These may have been among the top reasons why their sales in the second-quarter suffered a dip. With the new Galaxy S10 lineup, Samsung will surely try to get back in the game.
