Alleged Samsung Galaxy S10 appears in the flesh with virtually no bezels
True or not, we’re excited about it
With the Galaxy S9 phones available in the market and selling like hot cakes, Samsung is already (or has always been) prepping their tenth S-series flagship. There’s a new leaked image going around the internet lately, and it could be the Galaxy S10 we’ve been wanting to see.
Noted leaker IceUniverse posted a photo on Twitter with a caption “This may be a design beyond” and a photo of a phone with it. The photo in question shows off an all-screen phone with virtually no bezels at all. The sides appear to be curved, just like how Galaxy S phones’ have been in the past years.

There’s also no selfie camera or any visible sensors in front, so they could be somewhere inside the phone. Vivo and OPPO have been pioneering the use of a pop-up mechanism to achieve a high screen-to-body ratio with the NEX and Find X. Samsung might follow suit — unless they have something else in mind.
Also, with no space for the iris scanner, the South Korean company could also use under-display fingerprint sensors or maybe something similar to Face ID to complement the front camera.
Of course, nothing is final and it’s still too early to tell how Samsung’s 2019 flagship will look like. The Galaxy Note 9 will come earlier than the Galaxy S10, so Samsung could test the waters of some new features on their upcoming large-screen phone.
Let’s take things with a grain of salt, but we’ll keep our expectations high. If this turns out to be true in the end, Samsung deserves to be recognized for avoiding the notch completely.

The iPhone 18 might sell out for an unexpected reason
The ongoing shortage might play a part in the phone selling out earlier than expected.
An iPhone selling out is not news. Because of how popular the phones are, it’s within the realm of probability that Apple runs out of stock at some point. According to a new report, this year won’t be any different… but it’s for an entirely different reason.
First reported by analyst Tim Culpan, Apple is reportedly struggling to meet its demand for semiconductors for the iPhone 18 and the foldable iPhone. The ongoing memory shortage is cutting off Apple’s ability to deliver the required supply of smartphones in a timely fashion. The report even claims that TSMC, which helps produce the iPhone, is sitting on a shipment of processors, worth US$ 1 billion, that don’t have memory chips.
Now, Apple is still confident that it can weather the launch. However, if the shortage persists, the iPhone 18 generation will likely sell out much more quickly than expected.
It’s an interesting time for Apple to experience such a shortage. It’s been heavily rumored that the company will launch its very first foldable phone next month, creating a new market for the brand. Apple definitely wants this attempt to succeed after the tepid response to its last new product, the Vision Pro.
