Review of smartphones Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, S10 and S10 + - advantages and disadvantages

Last year for the best electronics manufacturer Samsung was marked by the fact that a trademark from Korea presented a completely flagship Galaxy S9 and its extended modification S9 Plus, which you can read about here.

If you believe recent rumors, then the manufacturer from Korea plans to surprise users in 2019, because he is preparing not 2 flagships, as everyone is used to, but 3 at once. This article presents a preliminary review of Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, S10 and S10 + smartphones with advantages and the shortcomings of each.

Positioning

According to a well-established tradition, following the release of the iPhone in the autumn, the Samsung brand begins to work, demonstrating its own main characters in the spring, which should become the main rivals of Apple devices.

The same situation is happening in 2019, because at MWC 2019, a brand from South Korea will show sensational new items. They'll have to eclipse their fame iPhone XS and XS Max, but if users are again presented with Galaxy S8-style flagships, then it will be very difficult for Samsung to claim leadership along with Apple Corporation.

There is a chance that the Samsung brand will actually show something unimaginable, because the chief executive of the company said that the devices will receive significant improvements. What exactly will change in the new products is not yet clear, but this only increases interest in the Galaxy S10 / S10 + and S10 Lite.

At the moment, the media have presented a lot of exciting information, and not so long ago, the corporation announced the first ever three-module camera in the Galaxy A7 (2018), more about which here. This means that users will also see 3 camera modules on the flagships of the Galaxy S series, so everyone is waiting for the end of MWC 2019 with such a desire.

Overview of new products

Everyone knows that Samsung used to present 2 smartphones at the same time, one miniature and smooth, and the other with a curved display. Then the straight phones were replaced with the same curved ones, but without increasing the size, so that the Plus modification could be released.

From now on, 3 smartphones from Samsung will be released immediately, and one of the modifications will get a very common flat display with typical rounded edges in 2.5D format.

3 different devices - 3 different galaxies. Repeat or coincidence, but for some reason 3 Samsung Galaxy S10s will be released right after Apple's decision to release 3 iPhones: XS, XS Max and XR. About the latter in more detail here.

Today, the smartphone niche is completely different from what it was about 8 years earlier, but if in 2010 Samsung had acted in the way it is going to do today, then it would not have been “left alive”. It’s good that now you can’t impress users by copying and imitating, because users no longer react to it.

Galaxy S10 Lite

It is reasonable to start the review with a lightweight modification of the novelty, namely with the Galaxy S10 Lite model. It should be noted that the flagship may be called differently in the end, since there is information about the name of the Galaxy S10R, in which R stands for Retro. Or perhaps it's a resemblance to iPhone XR. In any case, at the moment this is inaccurate information.

It is clear that this particular flagship will receive the traditional flat screen, which had previously appeared in the Galaxy S7. The display diagonal should be 5.8 inches with FHD + format, and AMOLED will play the role of the matrix type.

The device is promised about 6 GB of RAM and probably within 64-128 GB of ROM. One way or another, the flagship will receive a premium chipset from Samsung itself, namely the proprietary Exynos 9820 processor with 8 cores and an ARM Mali-G76 MP18 graphics accelerator. This chip will be 30% faster than its predecessor Exynos 9810, and 2.7 times faster for machine learning.

Nothing more is known about this model, and therefore it makes no sense to make predictions regarding how many cameras it will have, whether they will install a fingerprint sensor that will be integrated into the screen. All the latest information is given in the table.

The average price is 49,000 rubles.

• Quality screen;
• Sufficient amount of RAM and ROM;
• Powerful proprietary processor.

• Not detected.

Galaxy S10

The Galaxy S10 appears to be similar in design to the S10R, but there will also be a difference. This device will be equipped with an already stylized display with curved sides. The diagonal is 6.1 inches, the matrix is ​​similar to the model discussed above and is made according to the AMOLED type, but the format will certainly increase to 2K +.

In addition, the transformation in the display will be even more significant, since the Galaxy S10 will be equipped with a fingerprint scanner integrated into the display.

In addition to the Exynos 9820 with the Mali-G76 MP18 video accelerator, the device will also get an alternative from Qualcomm, namely the Snapdragon 855. By the way, this processor will provide the gadget with support for 5G networks.

Photographic capabilities are not yet completely clear, however, the phone will definitely be equipped with a dual module with variable aperture, zoom and optical type stabilization.

The average price is 65,500 rubles.

• High-quality display with good resolution;
• Fingerprint sensor built into the display;
• A branded powerful processor or a worthy Qualcomm equivalent with 5G support.

• Not detected.

Galaxy S10 Plus

Flagship iPhone XS Max became the largest on the display side in the history of the iPhone. In this regard, he instantly became the most desired, because in terms of body size it is identical to the dimensions of all iPhone Plus of previous generations.As much as 6.5 inches with OLED for all users (who, of course, have about 100 thousand rubles).

However, in terms of appearance, the iPhone XS Max does not differ at all from the XS and iPhone X - only the dimensions have increased. For its part, the Galaxy S10+ is different in design compared to the Galaxy S10, and in addition to a massive display, it will get some more enticing “highlights”.

First of all, the display diagonal will increase to 6.4 inches, and Super AMOLED with 2K + format will play the role of a matrix. But, in addition to a solid diagonal, under the screen, at the top, there will be a selfie camera, and a fingerprint sensor at the bottom.

The meaning is that in the process of opening the front camera, the screen in the module area will become colorless, which means that the flagship will not be equipped with any protrusions, etc. How well this technology will function, and whether a colorless display will reduce the quality of pictures, or vice versa, the quality of the picture on the screen itself, is unknown today.

In addition, 2 chips will be responsible for the performance of the gadget, which will be installed in the smartphone, depending on the sales area. As always, Snapdragon 855 is prepared for the United States of America, and Exynos 9820 will “go” to European and post-Soviet countries, including the Russian Federation.

By the way, the rear camera in the Galaxy S10 + will get 3 photographic units. Which package will be used is not clear, however, judging by what is present in Galaxy A7 (2018), we can assume the following:

1. At least 12 MP for the auxiliary module, which is used as a picture depth sensor (bokeh effect).
2. Approximately 20 MP for the rear camera with a variable aperture within 1.5-2.4.
3. 8 or 12 MP for a wide-angle module with a viewing angle of 120 degrees.

The average price is 75,500 rubles.

• Large and high-quality screen;
• Productive and proprietary processor;
• 3 high quality photographic modules.

• Not detected

In conclusion, it should be said about when new items will be released. The release of flagships is scheduled for the date of the international electronics exhibition - MWC 2019. This event is held in late February - early March.
