На днях официальный информационный портал Samsung опубликовал подробное описание инновациий, которыми наделены юбилейные флагманы.
Безупречный экран
Galaxy S10 оснащён новым дисплеем Infinity-O с соотношением сторон 19:9, который максимально увеличивает размер рабочей площади экрана. Боковые рамки стали ещё тоньше: по сравнению с Galaxy S9, верхняя рамка Galaxy S10 была уменьшена более чем в 3 раза.1 Чтобы наглядно убедиться, как Samsung трансформирует стандарты смартфонов с новым Galaxy S10, предлагаем ознакомиться с инфографикой (на иллюстрациях выше).
Для того, чтобы освободить ещё больше места на экране, Samsung встроил камеру Galaxy S10 в вырез на дисплее. Корпорация использовала запатентованную технологию лазерной резки, чтобы сделать небольшое отверстие в дисплее Galaxy S10, минимизируя повреждение окружающих пикселей, чтобы пользователи могли использовать всю площадь поверхности экрана. Новые модели получили защитное стекло устойчивое к царапинам Gorilla Glass 6[1], которое в 2 раза прочнее, чем Gorilla Glass 5.
Как в кинотеатре
Новый динамический AMOLED-дисплей Galaxy S10 обеспечивает по-настоящему кинематографический эффект. Обладая максимальной яркостью до 1200 нит, дисплей способен воспроизводить более 16 миллионов цветов (цветовой диапазон на 36% шире относительно стандарта SDR) со 100% охватом цветовой гаммы по стандарту DCI-P3.
По итогам тестов экспертов DisplayMate точность цветопередачи динамического AMOLED-дисплея составила 0,4 единицы едва заметных различий цвета (JNCD, Just Noticeable Color Differences). Улучшение этого показателя по сравнению с Galaxy S9 (0,7 JNCD) подтверждает исключительно точную цветопередачу Galaxy S10. Другими словами, цвета, которые вы видите на новых смартфонах Samsung, почти идеально соответствуют цветам в реальной жизни.
Новый дисплей также является первым в мире экраном для смартфонов, поддерживающим технологию HDR10+. Это открытый стандарт нового поколения для видео с высоким динамическим диапазоном (HDR). Дисплей использует технологию динамического отображения тонов, чтобы оптимизировать цвета в каждом кадре и улучшать контраст между светлыми и тёмными участками изображения. Он также оптимизирует уровни яркости, так что даже самые мелкие детали отчётливо видны, и отображает глубокий черный цвет[2] для лучшей детализации теней даже в условиях слабого освещения и отсутствия бликов под ярким солнечным светом.
Согласно последнему отчёту DisplayMate, Galaxy S10 обладает лучшим на сегодняшний день экраном в мире. Эксперты охарактеризовали фирменную технологию Dynamic Display от Samsung как непревзойдённую, впервые в истории тестирования оценив её по максимально возможной шкале A+.
Видеть больше, снимать больше
При 123 градусах новый 16-мегапиксельный сверхширокоугольный объектив задней камеры имеет поле зрения как у человеческого глаза. Он охватывает примерно в 4,3 раза большую площадь[3], чем широкоугольный объектив с углом обзора 77 градусов. Сверхширокоугольный объектив идеально подходит для съёмки пейзажей, крупных панорам (как горизонтальных, так и вертикальных), или просто для того, чтобы уместить всю семью в одном кадре.
Задняя камера каждой модели Galaxy S10 также включает в себя 12-мегапиксельный широкоугольный объектив с двойной диафрагмой и Super Speed Dual Pixel. Он сочетает в себе объектив с диафрагмой f/1.5 и f/2.4 и автоматически подстраивается под освещение, подобно нашим глазам. Тройная задняя камера Galaxy S10 и S10 + оснащена 12-мегапиксельным фотомодулем (с увеличением). Он обеспечивает двукратное оптическое и десятикратное цифровое увеличение.
Каждый Galaxy S10 оснащён фронтальной 10-мегапиксельной UHD Dual Pixel камерой для съёмки сэлфи. Двойная передняя камера Galaxy S10 + предлагает сверхбыстрый автофокус[4], а также имеет RGB объектив глубины для достижения улучшенного качества эффектов боке.
В основе Galaxy S10 – модуль нейронных вычислений следующего поколения (NPU), который оптимизирует обработку изображений с помощью искусственного интеллекта.
Усовершенствованный NPU делает функцию Scene Optimizer в разы мощнее. Теперь эта функциональность способна анализировать сложные сцены и может одновременно обрабатывать больше данных для распознавания изображений. Камера распознаёт до 30 различных типов сцен (по сравнению с 20 от Galaxy Note9), включая «Лицо», «Дети», «Собака», «Транспорт» и другие. Функция также автоматически оптимизирует цвет, насыщенность, баланс белого и контрастность, чтобы изображение выглядело максимально реалистично.
С помощью функции «Рекомендации по снимкам» (Shot Suggestion) камера предлагает пользователям мгновенные автоматические рекомендации о фотосьёмке. Используя базу данных, содержащую более 100 миллионов изображений, руководство по композиции Shot Suggestion даёт полезные советы о пропорциях изображения, позиционированию и общей композиции фотографий.
Galaxy S10+ использует две фронтальные камеры для поддержки режима Live Focus с новыми опциями добавления оттенков боке, масштабирования и цветовых эффектов. Наряду с этим фронтальная камера Galaxy S10 и S10e использует нейропроцессор.
Впервые на смартфоне применена функция стабилизации видео Super Steady. Она в 3 раза лучше, чем традиционные технологии выравнивания «дрожащих» кадров, что позволяет записывать плавное видео.
Технология динамического отображения тонов обеспечивает в 2,1 раза более широкий цветовой диапазон, чем SDR, и оптимизирует цвета для каждой сцены.
Модель Galaxy S10 5G объединяет в себе возможности камеры профессионального уровня, предлагая в общей сложности 6 объективов – 2 спереди и 4 сзади. В дополнение к объективам, представленным в Galaxy S10+, модель 5G оснащена линзой глубины 3D (3D-Depth) нового поколения. Она точно фиксирует глубину, измеряя время, необходимое для отражения инфракрасного светового сигнала, исходящего от объекта съёмки. Камера использует полученную информацию о глубине, чтобы улучшить качество изображений в портретном стиле и использовать новые функции, такие как Video Live focus и Quick Measure. Первая позволяет применять к записанным видео эффекты боке кинематографического качества, а вторая используется для мгновенного измерения расстояния, площади или объёма.
Усиленная биометрическая защита
В основе работы ультразвукового сканера отпечатков пальцев[5] – волны, которые считывают уникальный рисунок отпечатка пальца пользователя, улавливая крошечные воздушные зазоры между пальцем и экраном.
Сканер отпечатков пальцев Galaxy S10 дополнен технологией 3D anti-spoofing, которая при помощи алгоритмов машинного обучения гарантирует, что телефон разблокируется только после того, как будет зарегистрирован физический отпечаток пальца владельца смартфона, а не его изображение. В результате тестирований в самых сложных условиях, в том числе при минусовых температурах и ярком солнечном свете, уровень защиты сканера был подтверждён первой в мире сертификацией биометрических компонентов Альянса FIDO.
Комфорт для глаз
Динамический дисплей AMOLED Galaxy S10, сертифицированный TÜV Rheinland, уменьшает влияние синего света (на 42% по сравнению с предыдущей версией дисплея)[6]. Эта технология не требует применение фильтра и не ставит под угрозу качество изображения.
Интерфейс One UI с лаконичным дизайном оптимизирует положение элементов на экране, распределяя самую важную информацию таким образом, чтобы смартфон было удобно использовать одной рукой. В нём предусмотрен ночной режим, который подстраивает дисплей для работы на смартфоне в тёмное время суток.
Новый опыт AR Emoji
Новые флагманы Samsung предлагают дополнительный набор Анимоджи (AR Emoji) с расширенными возможностями настройки и возможностью отслеживать не только мимику, но также движение глаз, языка и тела, рук и ног.
Богатый внутренний мир
Tехнология Wireless PowerShare позволяет использовать Galaxy S10 для зарядки совместимых Qi-сертифицированных смартфонов и даже носимых устройств[7].
Кроме того, заряжать телефон и другое совместимое устройство теперь можно с помощью одной проводной зарядки.
Поддержка быстрой беспроводной зарядки 2.0 позволяет заряжать смартфон на 33%[8] быстрее, чем Galaxy S9, при использовании новой беспроводной зарядки Samsung Duo Pad от Samsung, которая также оснащена вентилятором с турбонаддувом, снижающим нагрев.
Персонализированная работа устройства
Galaxy S10 оснащен передовым ПО на базе AI (системы искусственного интеллекта), которое оптимизирует производительность и автоматически настраивает параметры батареи, процессора, оперативной памяти и даже температуры устройства для обеспечения стабильной и быстрой работы. Это значит, что часто используемые приложения запускаются быстрее, игры работают более плавно, а телефон работает дольше. Технология самообучается по мере использования устройства его владельцем, тем самым корректирует управление важными функциями смартфона в зависимости от индивидуальных привычек пользователя.
Устройства линейки Galaxy S10 имеют режим адаптивного энергосбережения, который разделяет приложения на группы в зависимости от частоты их использования и регулирует энергопотребление, чтобы максимально эффективно использовать заряд аккумулятора телефона.
Теперь WI–FI ещё умнее
Устройства Galaxy S10 – первые телефоны с поддержкой Wi-Fi 6[9]. Wi-Fi 6 загружает контент со скоростью до 20% выше, чем предыдущая версия, позволяет устройствам бесшовно переключаться между сетями Wi-Fi и LTE. Благодаря машинному обучению система распознаёт сценарии с неустойчивым Wi-Fi соединением (например, когда пользователь находится в лифте или в движении), убережёт от подключения к ненадёжным сетям Wi-Fi (которые могут подвергнуть устройство риску фишинга и атак вредоносных программ), защитит телефон от потенциально вредоносных IP-соединений и предупредит, прежде чем подключиться.
Ещё больше возможностей
Galaxy S10 предлагает максимальные скорости LTE и поддерживают загрузку до 2,0 Гбит/с, что на 0,8 Гбит /с выше по сравнению с Galaxy S9.
Устройства также оснащены прикладным процессором (AP)[10] следующего поколения 7/8 нм, который значительно повышает производительность центрального процессора и графического процессора – на 29% и 37% соответственно – по сравнению с Galaxy S9. Galaxy S10+ также доступен с 12 Гб RAM[11] – впервые для серии Galaxy.
И наконец, Galaxy S10 представляет самый внушительный объём памяти из тех, что когда-либо были у линейки. Galaxy S10 предлагает пользователям до 1Тб[12] встроенной памяти и дополнительные 512Гб с помощью карты памяти microSD[13].

All about Samsung Galaxy S10
Feast Your Eyes on the Future: The Galaxy S10’s Stunning Display
With the introduction of the Galaxy S10 line, Samsung Electronics has once again demonstrated how it is steering the future of the smartphone screen. The company’s newest flagships take its display technology to the next level, offering users a more brilliant and realistic picture, along with an in-display camera design that maximizes screen real estate, and a first-of-its-kind Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner.
Put simply, the Galaxy S10 features the most beautiful display that the Galaxy family has ever seen. If you thought you’d seen immersive before, you haven’t seen anything yet.
O So Beautiful
The Galaxy S10 introduces Samsung’s new, 19:9 Infinity-O Display, which maximizes screen space to offer users more room to do more, more comfortably. Bezels have been reduced to create more space for what matters most, like watching movies, reading books, and playing games. In fact, compared to the Galaxy S9, the ultra-slim top bezel has been decreased by more than three times.1
To free up even more pixels for users’ content, the Galaxy S10 features an in-display camera design that packs an array of sensors and camera technologies into a small space. Samsung used a proprietary laser cutting technology to carve a tiny hole in the display – while minimizing damage to the surrounding pixels – that would enable users to enjoy all the essential camera and sensor technologies without losing any screen.
Perfecting this aspect of the design enabled Samsung to craft a revolutionary display that covers the entire front of the phone and makes everything from watching a movie to playing games that much more immersive and enjoyable.
In addition, users can trust that whatever activity they’re engaged in, thanks to its use of Gorilla Glass 6, which is twice as durable as Gorilla Glass 5, the Galaxy S10 is built to last.2
Cinema Screen
The Galaxy S10’s new Dynamic AMOLED display fosters truly cinematic viewing experiences. Featuring a peak luminance of 1200 nits, the display is capable of producing over 16 million colors (36 percent better color range than SDR), with 100 percent mobile color volume in the DCI-P3 color range.
When tested by the experts at DisplayMate, the Dynamic AMOLED display received a 0.4 Just Noticeable Color Difference (JNCD) score. An improvement on the Galaxy S9’s 0.7 JNCD rating, this score confirms the Galaxy S10’s exceptionally accurate color reproduction. In other words, the colors you see on Samsung’s new smartphones are a near-perfect match to colors in real life.
The company’s latest groundbreaking display is also the first smartphone display in the world to support HDR10+: a next-generation open standard for high dynamic range (HDR) video. HDR10+ support effectively delivers cinema-quality visuals to users’ pockets by enabling compatible content to be depicted precisely as the creators intended. This means that when streaming a favorite film, for instance, colors are more accurate, and the viewing experience is more immersive.
The display utilizes dynamic tone mapping technology to optimize colors from scene to scene, and to produce better contrast between light and dark scenes. It also optimizes brightness levels so that even the smallest details look beautiful, and produces true black colors3 for better shadow detail, even in low-light conditions.
The Galaxy S10’s bright, brilliant screen ensures that colors are crisp even under harsh sunlight. So when you’re out and about or lounging by the pool, the sun won’t stop you from catching up on a favorite show, or checking out that video clip your friend just sent.
Beefed-Up Biometric Security
Embedded beneath the Dynamic AMOLED display is Samsung’s new, in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner,4 which offers vault-like security to keep your device safe.
The scanner works by emitting ultrasonic waves that map the unique pattern of your fingerprint by sensing the tiny air gaps between your finger and the screen. That wave data is then sent back to the scanner and analyzed by the phone’s main chipset in order to determine whether it’s a match.
It works in the blink of an eye, and features 3D anti-spoofing technology that applies a machine learning-based algorithm to the on-screen fingerprint to offer a high level of security. This ensures that your phone will only open once it’s registered your physical fingerprint, and not an image of it. Its security is backed by the world’s first FIDO Alliance Biometric Component certification, and it’s been tested to work in the most challenging of conditions, including in sub-zero temperatures and under bright sunlight.
Easy on the Eyes
Comfort is key when it comes to the Galaxy S10, which is why Samsung optimized its newest flagships with innovations that make these beautiful devices even easier on the eyes.
If you regularly check your phone before going to bed, you’re likely familiar with blue light emissions, which studies indicate can affect your sleep. The Dynamic AMOLED display has been certified by the experts at TÜV Rheinland to reduce blue light by a full 42 percent,5 which can help users protect their eyes. Best of all, in addition to making it easier for users to get a good night’s rest, the smartphones’ blue light-reducing technology doesn’t require filters, and won’t compromise the display’s picture quality.
To offer users greater comfort and convenience, each Galaxy S10 also features a comfortable, lightweight design, as well as Samsung’s revolutionary One UI. The latter features a clean, intuitive interface that reduces clutter to help users stay focused, and places important information at the bottom of the display to enable them to comfortably manage their device with one hand. It also includes a built-in Night Mode that optimizes the display for nighttime viewing, and allows users to seamlessly transition to darker environments.

Together, these innovations offer users all the tools they need to take truly epic shots and videos.
See More, Snap More
Each Galaxy S10 is like a professional-grade camera that fits in your pocket. The devices’ easy-to-use cameras were designed to allow you to capture any shot and angle. So no matter what you’re shooting, you’ll always have the right lens for the job.
At 123-degrees, the rear camera’s new 16MP Ultra Wide lens features a field of view that’s similar to the human eye. It covers approximately 4.3 times more area1 than a 77-degree Wide-angle lens, and allows you to capture the world as you see it. Perfect for taking epic landscape shots, big panoramas (both horizontally and vertically), or simply fitting the entire family into a photo, the Ultra Wide lens ensures that you’re always able to capture the full scene.
Each Galaxy S10’s rear camera setup also includes a 12MP Wide-angle, Dual Aperture, Super Speed Dual Pixel lens. It combines an f/1.5-aperture lens with an f/2.4, and automatically adjusts to light just like our eyes to help users snap professional-looking photos, day or night. The Galaxy S10 and S10+’s triple rear camera setup also includes a 12MP Telephoto (zoom) lens. For those times when you need to get a little closer to your subject, the Telephoto lens provides two times optical zoom and ten times digital zoom.
Each Galaxy S10 comes equipped with a 10MP UHD Dual Pixel front-facing camera that’s perfect for taking high-quality selfies. The Galaxy S10+’s dual front camera setup offers improved megapixels and super-fast autofocus,2 and includes an RGB depth lens for enhanced quality of bokeh effects.
A Smarter Way to Shoot
The Galaxy S10’s hardware is complemented by a next-generation Neural Processing Unit (NPU) – a layer of intelligence for all your photos – that streamlines image processing and makes already smart features better.
The addition of the advanced NPU makes the camera’s Scene Optimizer function that much more powerful. Now, Scene Optimizer is capable of analyzing even more complex scenes, and can simultaneously process more image recognition data than before. The camera recognizes up to 30 different types of scenes in all (up from 20 with the Galaxy Note9), including “Face,” “Baby,” “Dog,” “Vehicles,” and more. The function will also automatically optimize the color, saturation, white balance and contrast in order to ensure that the image you see on your screen appears as true to life as possible.
When the camera recognizes specific scenes, it will also suggest other ways to potentially improve your photo. For example, if you’re taking a picture of a sunrise, the camera will automatically ask you if you’d like to switch to the Ultra Wide lens to ensure that you capture the scene in all its glory. If you’re taking a picture in extreme low-light conditions, it will propose that you take a Bright Night Shot for a professional-quality picture.
The camera also offers users instant, automatic recommendations on how to best frame their photo through its Shot Suggestion feature. Utilizing a database of over 100 million pictures, Shot Suggestion’s composition guide offers helpful tips to help you improve your photo’s proportions, positioning and overall composition.
The camera’s upgraded Live Focus mode allows you to customize your photos with artistic effects. The Galaxy S10+ utilizes its dual front cameras to support the feature, which includes options to add new spin bokeh, zoom bokeh, and color point effects, while the Galaxy S10 and S10e’s front-facing camera utilizes the NPU’s intelligence.
Silky Smooth Videos
Recorded videos are so much smoother with the Galaxy S10, thanks to groundbreaking innovations that ensure that users’ footage looks fantastic.
The camera’s Super Steady video-recording feature is the first of its kind on a smartphone, and offers users up to three times better video stabilization than conventional technologies. Powered by anti-shake stabilization technology (VDIS), Super Steady evens out shaky footage, allowing you to record fluid video during even your most active moments. So whether you’re dancing at a concert or recording a bumpy bike ride, with the Galaxy S10, the content you capture will be nice and steady.
Both the front and rear cameras are capable of recording pro-grade UHD footage, which allows users to step up their social game with true-to-life video quality. And in another smartphone first, the rear camera offers users the ability to take their recordings to the next level by capturing them in stunning HDR10+.
Utilizing dynamic tone mapping technology that provides 2.1 times broader color range than SDR, the Galaxy S10 allows you to take videos that are brighter and more dynamic than those taken with other smartphone cameras. That’s because the camera uses tone mapping techniques to go frame-by-frame and optimize the color for every scene.
A New AR Emoji Experience
Samsung’s latest flagships offer users a brand new AR Emoji experience, highlighted by a revamped design, greater customization options, and the ability to track not just your face but also your eyes, tongue and body movements, including your arms and legs.
AR Emoji’s new Mask Mode offers a fun way to touch up a less-than-stellar photo. Not satisfied with the expression you made in your last shot? Simply choose an AR Emoji that nails the emotion you want to express, and place its face over yours.
Users can also customize their AR Emojis like never before. In addition to choosing from the dozens of expressive stickers that are created for each AR Emoji, you can create your very own stickers, featuring unique backgrounds, expressions and other personal touches. Users who download AR World from the Galaxy Store app will also be able to access tons of new hairstyles, outfits and accessories that’ll make their AR Emoji even more unique.
Samsung’s Most Epic Cameras Yet
In addition to placing more fun and convenient features at users’ fingertips, the Galaxy S10 line’s powerful cameras allow you to capture moments in more detail – and with more lenses – than ever before.
The Galaxy S10 5G truly packs the power of a professional-grade camera into your phone by offering a total of six lenses – two on the front and four on the back. In addition to featuring all of the lenses included in the Galaxy S10+, the 5G model introduces Samsung’s next-generation 3D Depth Camera.
This innovative camera allows the device to accurately capture depth by measuring the length of time it takes for an infrared light signal to bounce off the photograph’s subject. The camera uses the resulting depth information to improve the quality of portrait-style images, and to power exciting new features like Video Live focus and Quick Measure. The former allows you to apply cinema-quality bokeh effects to recorded videos, while the latter enables you to use your phone to instantly measure distance, area or volume.

Brains and Brawn: The Galaxy S10’s Performance-Focused Features
The Galaxy S10 line’s premium hardware is backed by machine learning-based software that makes it easy for users to get the most out of their phone.
Brand new power-sharing capabilities, AI-powered performance enhancement, and Intelligent Wi-Fi support make Samsung Electronics’ newest flagships its smartest devices yet. Let’s examine some of the ways that these exciting innovations will change how users connect, charge and power through their day.
Sharing Is Caring
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 offerings are not only incredibly powerful in and of themselves. They also come packed with cutting-edge technologies that add a whole new dimension to powering other mobile devices.
The smartphones’ built-in charging pad and new Wireless PowerShare technology allow users to use their phone to easily recharge compatible Qi-certified smartphones, and even wearables.1 This means that if your Galaxy Buds or Galaxy Watch Active are running low on power, you can top off their charge with your Galaxy S10. There’s no need for additional plugs or cables when sharing battery power, which makes the function perfect for urgent situations when you just can’t find an outlet.
The Galaxy S10 also allows you to charge your phone and another compatible device simultaneously using a single wired charger. This is especially handy when traveling, as it allows users to leave more cords and chargers at home.
The smartphones’ support for Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 enables them to charge up to 33 percent2 faster than the Galaxy S9 when using Samsung’s new Wireless Charging Duo Pad, which also features a Turbo Cooling Fan that reduces heat for faster, safer charging. The Galaxy S10’s support for this technology allows it to spend less time on charging docks and more time in your hands, ready to streamline your day.
Personalized Performance
Because each of us utilizes our smartphone differently, the Galaxy S10 features advanced, AI-powered software that optimizes performance based on users’ unique usage patterns.
The smartphones’ Intelligent Performance Enhancer automatically adjusts settings for the battery, CPU, RAM, and even the temperature of your device to ensure stable, snappy performance. So frequently used apps launch faster, games run smoother, and your phone works harder when you need it the most. And because the technology constantly learns and adjusts based on your personal habits, it becomes more tailored and useful the more you use your phone.
The devices also feature an Adaptive Power Saving mode, which optimizes battery performance based on app use. This innovative technology categorizes apps into five groups based on how often they’re used, and regulates power usage to help you get the most out of your phone’s battery.
Support for Smarter Wi-Fi
The Galaxy S10 also introduces a dynamic duo of technologies designed to bring an end to the days of spotty Wi-Fi connections.
The first, Intelligent Wi-Fi, allows the devices to seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi and LTE networks in order to foster safe and uninterrupted connections. It uses machine learning to recognize when you’re in an enclosed location where the Wi-Fi might be unreliable, such as an elevator, and it can tell when you’re on the move, like when you’re in a car or walking down the street. As soon as your Galaxy S10 registers changes like these, it will quickly and seamlessly switch to an LTE network connection, so you don’t miss a beat. In fact, it switches from Wi-Fi to data more than twice as fast as before.
Intelligent Wi-Fi can also help users steer clear of Wi-Fi networks that may put them at risk for phishing and malware attacks. The technology protects your phone against potentially malicious IP connections in advance, and will warn you before you’re able to connect. Should your phone encounter a risky Wi-Fi connection, it will alert you with a pop-up asking whether you’d still like to connect.
The Galaxy S10 devices are also the first phones to boast support for the next generation of Wi-Fi technology: Wi-Fi 6.3 Up to 20 percent faster than the previous Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6 takes downloading and uploading content to the next level. The smartphones’ support for the technology opens the door for much faster downloads – enabling users to download multi-gigabit movie files in mere seconds.
In crowded areas, such as airports and concert venues, Wi-Fi 6 allows users to enjoy four times faster network connections than other users in the same location. And perhaps best of all, because it consumes less battery than other Wi-Fi standards, it enables your phone to save power for when you need it most.
The Power to Do More
We’ve only just scratched the surface of the Galaxy S10’s performance upgrades – and there’s plenty to be excited about.
In addition to allowing users to seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi and LTE connections, the Galaxy S10 offers the fastest LTE speeds available. The devices are the first in the world to support download speeds of up to 2.0Gbps – an improvement of 0.8Gbps when compared to the Galaxy S9 – which means users can stream and connect faster than ever before. And speaking of speed, the Galaxy S10 5G, Samsung’s first 5G smartphone, is primed to take connection speeds to bold new levels by opening the door for users to experience network speeds up to roughly 20 times faster than 4G.
The devices also feature a next-generation 7/8 nm application processor (AP)4 that significantly upgrades CPU and GPU performance – by 29 percent and 37 percent, respectively – when compared to the Galaxy S9. The Galaxy S10+ is also available with 12GB of RAM5 – a first for the Galaxy series – which enables users to experience truly flawless multitasking.
Lastly, the Galaxy S10 line introduces the highest storage capacity ever available on a Galaxy device. The Galaxy S10+ is available with a whopping 1TB6 of built-in storage, and offers users the ability to add an additional 512GB of memory via microSD card,7 for a total of 1.5TB of storage space! That’s enough memory for approximately 768 movies, and enough space to put the days of deleting photos, videos and apps to make room for more behind you.

More Powerful, More Personal: Bixby on the Galaxy S10
Since introducing Bixby alongside the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung Electronics has continuously enriched its AI platform with enhancements that have made it more intuitive, intelligent, and useful to users.
Now, with the introduction of the Galaxy S10 line, Samsung has taken Bixby to the next level – introducing new capabilities to Bixby Voice and Bixby Vision, as well as more ways to make users’ lives easier with personalized Bixby Routines.
Let’s take a closer look at how Bixby’s newest tools will help you streamline your day.
Simplify Your Routine
We all have our routines that help us manage our day, and time is, of course, precious. That’s why Samsung developed Bixby Routines – a clever feature that allows Bixby to learn your unique routines and recommend ways to save more time.
Bixby Routines utilizes machine learning to analyze your personal patterns and preferences based on how you use your phone. It uses that insight to suggest easily configurable routines – incorporating specific native apps, settings or features – that can instantly automate multiple tasks to make your life easier.
In addition to offering nine convenient preset options, Bixby Routines presents you with up to six personalized routines – based on how you use your phone at certain times and places – that minimize the steps required to get things done. For example, when you go to bed, your Galaxy S10 may run your personal “Before Bed” routine, which may include automatically turning on Night Mode, lowering the brightness, and muting sound. It’s as simple – and convenient – as that.
Instant Insight with Bixby Vision
Featuring a built-in AI that provides better image recognition and is capable of recognizing a wide range of objects, the camera’s enhanced Bixby Vision function places all-new AR capabilities at users’ fingertips.
Bixby Vision’s expanded Lens Mode features a variety of image-recognition options, including a new Wish List option. When you see a product you’re interested in buying, Wish List makes it easy to save it for later reference.1
The new Apps Mode offers users more convenient ways to utilize AR in their everyday lives. Use it to, for instance, virtually try on a new pair of sunglasses or some new makeup, or see how your hair would look dyed, or how your living space would look if you added an appliance or piece of furniture that you’re interested in buying.2
Apps Mode also makes it easy to learn more about movies you’re interested in through its new Picture Play3 feature. When you see a poster for an upcoming release, simply show it to Bixby and it’ll instantly play the trailer.
Hands-Free Convenience
Galaxy device users are used to asking Bixby to help them search the web, make a reservation, or launch an app when their hands are full. Now, Bixby’s new Voice Unlock4 feature allows you to activate and interact with Bixby when your phone is locked for an even more comfortable user experience.
Bixby Voice Unlock creates a convenient way to utilize Bixby when your phone is out of reach. Say you’re in the middle of making dinner and you need to double check exactly how much of a particular ingredient the recipe calls for. With Bixby Voice Unlock, rather than smudging up your screen with sauce and bits of food, you can simply say “Hi Bixby” to unlock your phone, and then ask Bixby to pull up the recipe for you.
Make Bixby Your Own
To offer users more freedom to utilize Bixby’s handy button, the Galaxy S10 introduces Bixby Key Customization.5 Now, you can customize the button to launch Bixby with either a single or double press, and map the other option to launch your favorite app or Quick command. It’s just another convenient way to make Bixby your own.
Speaking of Quick commands, Bixby’s update also makes it easy to share customized Quick commands with your friends.
Quick commands make using Bixby even more convenient by allowing you to replace one or more commands with a simple word or phrase. The opportunities for personalization are endless, and your Quick commands can also be saved as shortcut icons on your phone’s home screen for easy access.6 This is especially useful in situations when you’d rather not speak out loud. So for example, when you’re heading into a theater, if you tap the icon for your “Movie Time” Quick command, Bixby will instantly switch your phone to silent mode, turn on “Do not disturb,” reduce brightness completely, and turn off the screen so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the film without interruptions.
And now, with the Galaxy S10, if you’ve crafted the perfect Quick command and you want to send it to someone else, you can simply tap “share” to instantly send it as a link via text message or messaging app.7
