Galaxy S10 release date and price
It just got a bit easier to predict the release date for the Galaxy S10, as the company has announced a launch event for its flagship phones on Feb. 20. If Samsung follows a similar pattern for the S10 as did for the S9, the new phone would hit shelves by the middle of March.
Galaxy S10 price
The entry-level 5.8-inch S10 Lite will reportedly start at £669 based on information Gizmodo UK says it received from a “source at a major tech retailer.” It would then be followed by the 6.1-inch S10 at £799 and the range-topping S10 Plus at £899 (which could measure either 6.4 or 6.7 inches, depending on who you ask). All three models will come with at least 128GB of storage, the article reads, though the highest capacity S10 Plus will offer 1TB of storage for a whopping £1399.
The S10 and its larger sibling, the Galaxy Note 10, likely won’t be the only premium phones Samsung introduces next year. At its developer conference in November, Samsung finally unveiled the foldable phone it’s been working on for so long, nicknamed by insiders as the Galaxy F. While the Galaxy F was shown briefly, in a boxy case and under very protective lighting, many expect the final product to debut sometime in 2019.
True bezel-free design, lots more colors
While the Galaxy S9 mostly repeated the S8’s design, fans should expect “very significant” changes to the S10’s exterior. That quote comes courtesy of none other than Samsung mobile chief D.J. Koh, who related that information to Chinese media, before it was picked up by SamMobile.
