In a few weeks' time, Samsung is set to officially launch its newest line of high-end smartphones - the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Lite, and S10 Plus. Naturally, numerous rumors concerning the specifications and prices Samsung's newest flagship have been circulating since the S9 units have been released last year.
The latest leak, however, gave fans a glimpse of the S10 models' price tags and fans of the S Series should have reasons to be glad and alarmed at the same time. According to the Italian website TuttoAndroid, Samsung is offering three S10 models - the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10 Lite. The website also revealed the likely specifications of these high-end smartphones ahead of its February 20 official Unpacked Event.
The report suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite would likely be the basic model for the S10 series and would have a 5.8-inch flat front panel display. Small and compact, the Samsung S10 Lite would have 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory and could come with five color variants. The S10 Lite would be the cheapest in this series and would likely cost around €779 (around $908 / £704 / AU$1,269).
The Samsung Galaxy S10 (Code Name: "Beyond") will reportedly have 2 main variants wherein the only difference comes with the RAM and the internal memory. The S10 Beyond would likely have a 6.1-inch curved front panel display and would be equipped with an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
The report suggests that the S10 would "seven times faster" than units equipped with the Exynos 9820. The first S10 variant would have a 6 GB RAM and 512 GB internal memory and could cost around €929 (around $1,056 / £819 / AU$1,476). The other variant would have an 8 GB RAM and 512 GB internal memory and cost around €1,179 (around $1, 340 / £1,039 / AU$1,873).
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus would have a 6.4-inch curved front panel design. Like the regular S10, it would probably be equipped with three rear cameras. The S10 Plus is rumored to have a second variant which can support 5G but would only be available for the US and South Korean markets.
The S10 Plus would also be one of the first smartphones to feature a 1 TB internal memory and could feature the latest innovations in Samsung's imaging systems. The latest leak suggests that one of the S10 Plus variants would come with a 6 GB RAM and 512 GB internal memory, and could cost around €1,049 (around $1,192 / £925 / AU$1,666). The other variant would be equipped with an 8 GB RAM, and a 1 TB internal memory and could cost around €1,299 (around $1,477 / £1,140 / AU$2,063).
It is needless to say that these rumors have neither been confirmed nor denied by the South Korean tech giant. However, fans of the Samsung S Series don't have to wait long to determine whether these prices are fair as the S10's big reveal is just a few weeks away. Regardless, Samsung has a near perfect track record for turning out high-end mobile devices and consumers can expect that this newest Samsung flagship would exceed expectations, or at the very least, be at par with the best smartphones already out in the market.
