The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is now official. Samsung’s latest flagship boasts a combined total of five cameras.
Despite the leaks, the Galaxy S10+ managed to impress with its improved looks and premium specs.
Starting with screen, the smartphone comes with a curved 6.4-inch quad HD+ 19:9 Dynamic AMOLED display. It doesn’t have a notch (thank God), but it does come with an interesting pill-shaped cutout for the dual front cameras, giving it an impressive 93.1% screen-to-body ratio. It also has an in-display 3D Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner that promises a more secure, faster, and more accurate unlocking experience.
According to Samsung, this is the world’s first Dynamic AMOLED display with HDR10+ certification, allowing for more vivid digital content with dynamic tone mapping.
Under the hood, there’s an octa-core Exynos 9820 processor, paired with 6/8GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage. It has a 4,100mAh battery capacity with Fast Charging and Fast Wireless Charging 2.0.
It can also charge other wireless devices (like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro) called Wireless PowerShare. You can simultaneously charge this and another device wirelessly while connected to a wired charger.
