Samsung Galaxy S10: The rumours so far

The next Samsung flagship smartphone is to set to launch at the end of February, probably at the Mobile World Congress, and should be available to purchase mid-March.

So, what can we expect from one of the biggest, most highly-anticipated mobile phone launches of 2019? Let’s start with the name.

At this point, we’re pretty certain that this particular device will be the next instalment in the Galaxy S line. However, later in the year Samsung could be losing the S prefix and adopting either X, F or Flex, for their foldable phablet offering.

How much will it cost?

With the S9 starting £739, we should expect the S10 to cost around £839. Even with this increase, Samsung’s price tags are looking far more appealing than Apple’s, whose latest models teeter around the £1,000 mark.

What will it look like?

It has been predicted that there will actually be 3 models:

Firstly, a more affordable Galaxy S10 Lite (also tipped as Galaxy S10E), with a 5.8-inch flat display, side-positioned fingerprint scanner, dual rear camera and a single front-facing camera. Estimated RRP: £669

Secondly, a middle of the road Galaxy S10, featuring a bigger 6.1-inch curved infinity display, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a single front-facing camera and triple rear camera. Estimated RRP: £799

Lastly, the Galaxy S10 Plus, which as you would expect is the biggest of the three, with a 6.4-inch bezel-free infinity display, at least 4,000 mAh battery capacity, triple rear camera setup, dual front-facing camera and in-display fingerprint scanning. Estimated starting RRP: £899

All three models are set to be available in white, black, green and blue, with the Lite available in yellow.

How powerful will it be?

With a minimum storage of 128GB

And a potential maximum of 1TB using a microSD card slot.

Between 8-12GB of RAM

Depending on the model.

An improved Exynos 9820/Snapdragon 855 chipset

It should be one of the most powerful smartphones of 2019.
