It won’t be long before Samsung’s newest flagship devices hit the market, and Singapore is one of the first countries to get them.
A few hours after their global launch in San Francisco, the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e have been unveiled in the country today. All three models run on the same high-end 8nm chipset, and a new design that Samsung likes to call Infinity-O Display.
The S10e is the smallest and most affordable of the bunch. It looks a bit different from the usual Samsung flagship as it doesn’t have a curved display. Instead, you get rounded corners and flat but symmetrical bezels all around.
On the back, you only get two cameras: a 12MP wide-angle lens, and a secondary 16MP ultra-wide-angle shooter. The power button of the S10e also doubles as a fingerprint sensor.
The S10 and S10+ share a squarish body similar to the Note series as well as Samsung’s signature curved displays.
For the first time on Samsung phones, there’s an in-display fingerprint reader on both models. Samsung uses ultrasonic, instead of optical, making this the fastest and most accurate under-display fingerprint scanner we’ve used to date.
Both the S10 and S10+ also have three rear cameras; they get an extra 12MP telephoto lens. On the S10+, you also get dual front-facing cameras — one of which is an ultra wide-angle camera — which enables Live Focus for selfies.
All three models also get an upgrade in the battery department: S10e, 3100mAh; S10, 3400mAh; S10+, 4100mAh.
Pre-orders for the Galaxy S10 and S10+ start 12pm of February 22. Users may register with local carriers M1, Singtel, and StarHub, as well as Samsung Store Online, Samsung Experience Stores, Galaxy Studio, Lazada Singapore, and other select stores.
Pre-ordered S10 and S10+ units will come bundled with the Wireless Charger Duo Pad (SG$ 148) in white, and the Galaxy Buds (SG$ 238) in white as well.
The Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ will be available in the country starting March 8 and will retail as follows: Galaxy S10e (6GB+ 128GB), SG$ 1,078; Galaxy S10 (8GB + 128GB), SG$ 1,298; Galaxy S10+ (8GB + 128GB), SG$ 1,398; Galaxy S10+ (8GB + 512GB), SG$ 1,798; Galaxy S10+ (12GB + 1TB), SG$ 2,198.
