The S10 5G was designed to offer improved performance over previous Samsung devices, with a larger screen, enhanced camera functionality, and a bigger battery.

S10 features
The Samsung Galaxy S10 is a line of Android-based smartphones manufactured, released, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of the Galaxy S series. The S10 line comprises five models with various hardware specifications. The main S10 and S10+ feature 6.1 and 6.4-inch 1440p "Dynamic AMOLED" displays with HDR10+ support and dynamic tone mapping technology. The displays have curved sides that slope over the device's horizontal edges. The S10 and S10+ also use an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader, although this feature has been criticised for being slower and more temperamental than expected.
The S10 features a 3-lens rear-facing camera setup, including a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The front-facing camera on the S10+ is accompanied by a second RGB depth sensor, which Samsung states helps improve the quality of photo effects and augmented reality image filters. Both sets of cameras support 4K video recording and HDR10+. The camera software includes a new "'Shot Suggestion'" feature to assist users, "Artistic Live Filters", as well as the ability to post directly to Instagram posts and stories. The S10+ uses a double hole punch design for the front camera, while the S10 uses a single hole punch design. The S10 models also include a fast-charging battery and wireless charging with power-sharing capabilities.
In addition to the main S10 and S10+ models, Samsung also unveiled two additional models: the S10e and the S10 5G. The S10e is a compact version of the S10, featuring a smaller, flat, 5.8-inch 1080p display with no curved edges. Its fingerprint reader is contained within the power button on the side. The S10 5G is a larger, phablet-sized premium model that features support for 5G wireless networks, a 6.7-inch display, 256 or 512 GB of non-expandable storage, additional 3D time-of-flight cameras, and a non-user-replaceable 4,500 mAh battery. This model was temporarily exclusive to Verizon Wireless on launch in 2019.
