Samsung's next flagship smartphone, the new Galaxy S10, which is said to come in three different sizes, will be reportedly launched in February 2019 just in time for the MWC 2019. It's expected to almost have no bezel and no notch design has been one of the hottest topics in the digital world these days, but what excites users is the Infinity-O screen that would make it different from the other flagship phones such as Apple's iPhone X.
According to BGR, Samsung is already producing its Hole In Active Area (HIAA) screen design in preparation of the highly-anticipated launch of the Galaxy S10 a few months from now. ETNews reported that the South Korean tech giant has found its feet in the Infinity-O screen designs' production lines, and adds the needed laser equipment to make holes into the OLED displays.
All other details of the handset's top-of-the-line features remain unknown, but a recent report suggested that the smartphone's front-facing camera could be the same as the upcoming Galaxy A8s' selfie camera although it would be 2-3mm smaller. A cut-out was leaked on Twitter showing a 6.77mm front camera of the A8s just on top of the screen of which the Galaxy S10 is said to mirror the camera design.

While the news about the selfie camera is less exciting, users are mostly thrilled on the Infinity-O display technology, which is reportedly exclusive to Samsung at this time, according to an insider. It is also said that the other Chinese smartphone screen makers may also need to keep up with Samsung's high-end technology display to compete with the company's topnotch screen production line. The Galaxy S10 is expected to come in curved edges, and way thinner top and bottom bezels - something that's different from the notch design of Apple's iPhone X. However, the Galaxy A8s, which will be released to public next month, will reportedly have an Infinity-O design although it's not going to be a Samsung display.

Instead, the Chinese display maker BOE will be the one to manufacture the Galaxy A8s' Infinity-O LCD screen, according to a source from China. BOE is suspected to be the one to produce Huawei's rumored Infinity-O display smartphone, which might be unveiled even before the Galaxy S10 is released to the public in February 2019.
Samsung has yet to comment on these reports, but people are keener on the price, which is expected to be between $650 and $750 although it might be more expensive with the coming of its three different sizes.
