Samsung is launching its next generation Galaxy S10 series on 20 February in the US and while we don’t have a launch date for India yet, this latest news suggests it’s won’t be too long from now.
The company has slashed the price of its existing flagship phone, the Galaxy S9+, which will be succeeded by the Galaxy S10+ later this month. The phone, according to various listings, is now available in the market for Rs 57,900, which was earlier the price for the Galaxy S9.
The S9+ sports a bigger 6.2-inch display with Quad HD resolution, powered by the same Snapdragon 845/Exynos 9810 processor, along with 4GB RAM.
Talking about the event on 20 February, Samsung could launch three Galaxy S phones in 2019. This will be the regular Galaxy S10, the Galaxy S10 Plus and a Galaxy S10 Lite to round-up the series.
As the name suggests, one expects S10 and S10 Plus to pack the same hardware, albeit with a slight difference in screen size. With the S10 Lite, the price barrier may be lower, suggesting the use of mid-range hardware.
The rumours about Galaxy S10 suggests that the phone will get three cameras at the back, while the Galaxy S10 Plus will go one step further and add four cameras to its setup. This will be the company’s first phone to sport an in-display fingerprint scanner and is also likely to be the first to come without a headphone jack and a have new-look software loaded into the phone.
