Samsung will present its Galaxy S10 phones on February 20 and release on March 8. That reports Gizmodo. That is a week before the Mobile World Congress phone exhibition in Barcelona, ​​where Samsung has often shown new Galaxy S models.

Gizmodo claims that Samsung Unpacked, the name for the presentation of devices from, for example, the Galaxy S series, takes place on the Wednesday before Monday opening the doors of Mobile World Congress. That is earlier than last time, when Samsung held a press conference on Sunday evening prior to the fair. The release does match the timing of past years; Samsung released its Galaxy S phone more often in March.

Gizmodo also says that he has prices. The smallest version, a device with 5.8 “screen without side bends, would cost £ 669 in a 128GB storage configuration, the Galaxy S9 has a suggested retail price of £ 699, with 64GB storage. with 6.1 “screen would cost £ 799, while the larger S10 + would cost £ 899, with a 1TB version for £ 1299. That 1TB variant sounds credible; Apple released an iPad Pro with that configuration last month.

Gizmodo also says that it has heard from sources that several earlier rumors are correct, such as that the devices get a screen with a hole in front of the front camera. This makes the iris scanner a thing of the past because it would take up more space. There is, however, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner behind the screen. That is a different technique than the optical fingerprint scanner of, for example, the OnePlus 6T and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Those two phones released this fall work with a camera behind the screen to see the fingerprint, while the S10 will work with sound waves to recognize the fingerprint.
