Samsung Galaxy S10 5G

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G product description

This Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is, as its name suggests, a 5G phone. Furthermore, that name only adds confusing. That is because Samsung positions this S10 5G above the S10+. It has an even larger screen, larger battery and the double selfie camera is the only S10 that has Live Focus Video.

Differences between S10 and S10+

The usefulness of owning a 5G phone anno 2019/2020 is not very great. There is as yet no nationwide 5G network in the Netherlands and Belgium. It is of course nice to be the first to walk around with a 5G phone, but you wouldn't have to buy this S10 5G for that. Fortunately, there is enough left over to consider this Galaxy S10 5G. For example, it has the largest screen in the S10 series; 6.7 inches. The battery is also the largest, with a capacity of 4500 mAh. These two advantages largely cancel each other out because a larger screen consumes more. Remains the selfie camera that is the only Galaxy S10-er with a third sensor; a 3D depth camera. The S10+ still uses an RGB sensor for this.

Sharp screen and photos

Furthermore, it is mainly a feast of recognition at the S10 5G. The Dynamic AMOLED Infinity-O Display has a built-in fingerprint scanner and an unprecedented high resolution of Quad HD+ for razor-sharp images. On the back you'll find four cameras; a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera for every-day photos, a 12 megapixel camera with 2x optical zoom, a 16 megapixel camera with ultra-wide-angle lens for landscape photos and finally a separate depth camera. With the latter you can distinguish foreground from background and shoot beautiful portrait photos with out-of-focus background. You'll see this effect before you even take the shot thanks to Live Focus mode.

Main Samsung Galaxy S10 5G specifications

• Larger Curved Dynamic AMOLED Quad HD+ display of 6.7-inch
• Quad camera system with zoom, wide-angle and depth camera
• Sharp selfie camera with depth recognition and Live Focus
• Extra fast 5G support (when available)
• Powerful performance thanks to 2.84GHz octacore processor and 8GB RAM memory

No room for memory card

This also works in video mode and as the only S10 model, the selfie camera also has this. You can choose what to focus on and what is sharp and out of focus by simply clicking on it. Another advantage of a depth camera is that the S10 can measure 5G objects, ideal to see if that IKEA sofa fits in your living room. There are also AR applications possible that were previously impossible. By adding virtual objects to real-time video you combine reality with the virtual world. Remains the following warning; this Galaxy S10 5G does not have something that the S10 and S10+ do have; a memory card slot. You will have to do it with the built-in 256 GB. Also a 2nd SIM card cannot be inserted. Single SIM that is.
