Samsung, one of the leading smartphone manufacturers has come out with their much anticipated and rumored 5G smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. The new smartphone is not only unique because of its fast network or its quick response, but there is also a whole lot more than just its quick response and fast nature.
The new smartphone was announced in February 2019 and ships in with mouth-watering specifications that are awesome in its own ways. We are not here to tell you stories but to get straight to the point and providing you with all the selling point of the smartphone. So, let’s begin with the design of the smartphone.
Design
The first thing that got my attention when I first saw the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G was its size. The device is a supersized smartphone and can hardly fit into a woman’s jean or skirt pocket. The smartphone has a whopping 6.7 inches almost all-screen display.
The smartphone is built with both glass and aluminum, the front and the back of the device is covered with a Gorilla Glass 6, while the frame is made of aluminum. The smartphone has a total weight of 198g. From the look of things, Samsung actually intended to make this smartphone as a fully fledged flagship and not like the party starter kind of smartphones.
The front of the super-sized Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is covered by a huge 6.7 inches Dynamic AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, which leaves you with an ~89.4% screen-to-body ratio. The resolution of the screen is 1440 x 3040 pixels and has a 19:9 ratio, meanwhile the screen produces clear images and has a ~502 PPI density.
Still, on the front edge-to-edge screen of the smartphone, you will find the less obvious oval-shaped hole-punch that holds the two selfie cameras. Apart from the large size of the smartphone, and a few other changes, most of the key specifications are the same.
On the back side of the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, there is a horizontally place Quad cameras (Four cameras), which is also followed by a powerful LED flash. Apart from the things I just mentioned, the back of the smartphone is empty.
Are you wondering where the fingerprint resides now? Samsung Galaxy S10 5G features an on-screen fingerprint sensor that responds very fast. The smartphone comes in various colors such as the Black, and Prism White and others.
Camera
When it comes to featuring great cameras on smartphones, you should know that Samsung has always been among the best and this time around, they didn’t change a bit.
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G houses four cameras which comprise of the 16 Mega Pixel ultra-wide with a ƒ/2.2 aperture, the 12MP with a (ƒ/1.5, ƒ/2.4) apertures, there is also an hQVGA 3D depth sensor. The cameras come with a powerful LED flash that will ensure that the images taken in low-light conditions still have a reasonable amount of details.
The selfie images are two in number and they hold some reasonable amount of details. The dual selfie cameras comprise of a10 MP with a ƒ/1.9 aperture and the hQVGA 3D depth sensor. The cameras were able to take clear pictures even in a low light condition.
Performance
To begin with, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G runs on the latest Android 9.0 (Pie); and also uses the company’s One UI.
The smartphone uses Exynos 9820 Octa (8 nm) chipset for EMEA, while places like USA/LATAM, and China uses the Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855 (7 nm). The smartphone for EMEA uses the Octa-core (2×2.73 GHz Mongoose M4 & 2×2.31 GHz Cortex-A75 & 4×1.95 GHz Cortex-A55), while the USA/LATAM, and China countries use the Octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 485 & 3×2.41 GHz Kryo 485 & 4×1.78 GHz Kryo 485).
The GPU for EMEA is the Mali-G76 MP12, meanwhile, for those in China the smartphone, there is presented with the Adreno 640 – USA/LATAM. The performance of the smartphone is awesome, but there was something that broke my heart about this smartphone and it’s the fact that you can’t use the external SD card to expand the 512GB internal storage. There is also an 8 GB RAM that ensures a smooth running of the smartphone.
