Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will go on sale in South Korea first
Making 5G a reality
During Samsung‘s last Unpacked event where the company unveiled the Galaxy S10 family and the Galaxy Fold, there was another Galaxy S10 member that didn’t share the same spotlight: the Galaxy S10 5G. We don’t know why Samsung didn’t bring this on stage because it’s not just a 5G-enabled Galaxy S10, it’s a different phone, as well.
The Galaxy S10 5G is much like the Galaxy S10+ with added features that make it the true top-of-the-line phone of Samsung to date. First, it’s got a bigger 6.7-inch AMOLED display (versus 6.4-inch of the S10+) and a larger battery at 4500mAh (versus 4100mAh) with support for 25W fast charging.
Aside from the increase in size, the Galaxy S10 5G also has four rear cameras: 12-megapixel main camera with dual aperture, 12-megapixel telephoto shooter, 16-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens, and a TOF camera. In the front, it has a 10-megapixel Dual Pixel sensor plus a TOF camera.
If you want to get the phone, you’ll have to buy in South Korea. Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S10 5G on its home turf on April 5. The phone will take advantage of the existing 5G network in Korea that went live last December 2018.
Unfortunately, Samsung didn’t share any pricing details for the phone in its press release. With all the extra features and advanced 5G connectivity, it’s likely more expensive than the other Galaxy S10 models. Also, there is no shared information when the phone will arrive in other countries where 5G is available.

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.
