Samsung Galaxy S10 Specs: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Chipset Almost Confirmed

After the launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Samsung is now gearing up for the launch of its highly anticipated next-generation flagship phone, Galaxy S10.

While the South Korean tech giant is keeping all the information related to Samsung Galaxy S10 specs, price and release date close to its chest, a lot of information about the upcoming smartphone have already flooded the web.

Chip maker Qualcomm has already confirmed that its next-generation system-on-chip (SoC), most likely to be named the Snapdragon 855, will bring 5G to premium tier smartphones for the first time. The new Qualcomm chipset will be built on a 7nm process node, which will allow it to run faster and cooler while delivering a better AI performance and battery life. More information about the 7nm platform is expected to be unveiled in the fourth quarter of the year.

Apple’s upcoming A12 chipset, which will power the new iPhones trio, is also rumored to be built on a 7nm process node.

Considering the fact that Samsung’s Galaxy S series has always been the first to come with the latest Snapdragon chipsets, it will not be surprising to see the Galaxy S10 boast the latest offering by the chipset maker. So, indirectly Qualcomm has provided us the first confirmation about what the S10 will have to offer.

Among other specs, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to feature an edge-to-edge display with a better screen-to-body ratio than Galaxy S9 and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor embedded under the display. The smartphone is rumored to get launched in three variants and sizes- 5.8, 6.1 and 6.4 inches.

Popular tipster IceUniverse has claimed that the Galaxy S10, internally codenamed ‘Beyond’, will be available in five colors- black, white, green, silver, and pink.

As far as Samsung Galaxy S10 release date is concerned, the tech giant is not expected to launch the handset until early 2019.
