Samsung Galaxy S10 Range Features

Like Apple did with its 10th-anniversary iPhone, Samsung is celebrating 10 years of Galaxy smartphones with a new device debuting alongside the highly anticipated Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus and the Galaxy S10e. But while the iPhone X was the flagship, staying a rung above the iPhone and 8 Plus,

S10e is the cheapest phone of Samsung’s 2019 flagship lineup.

And if you thought three phones was a lot, think again. There’s also the Galaxy S10 5G, which supports the next generation of mobile networking technology. It’s not available yet, but you can read more about the phone here. The S10 and S10 Plus bring a few improvements over last year’s Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, so let’s break down what these phones — including the S10e — are all about.

The S10 range’s new Dynamic AMOLED display receives top score

Samsung’s new Dynamic AMOLED display on the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10 e has been awarded DisplayMate’s highest-ever score, with particular praise being heaped on the display’s color accuracy and picture quality.

This is becoming something of a tradition for Samsung now. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 set new records on DisplayMate’s tests when they were first released, and like the S10, they were praised for their exceptionally strong picture quality and color accuracy. 

Also of note in the review is the observation that the S10’s display can reach 1,215 nits and is 17 percent brighter than the S9, and that the display either equals or exceeds over a dozen previous records for smartphone display performance. In short, the Samsung Galaxy S10 range contains the absolute best smartphone display you can get right now.

New fingerprint sensor, Infinity-O display

There are quite a few visible differences between last year’s Galaxy S9 series and the Galaxy S10 series, notably on the back as the phones mimic the horizontal camera setup that’s present on the Galaxy Note 9. The back design is cleaner than usual because there’s no fingerprint sensor. Instead the S10 and S10 Plus have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the front under the display like the OnePlus 6T, but the technology is different.
