In general, the evening of February 20 turned out to be hot. Lets take a look at the base model of the newly-minted line - we will review the Samsung Galaxy S10.


Samsung Galaxy S10 - design

For a while Samsung was on a lead of the market trying to grope their unique design. Only starting from Galaxy S6 their flagship smartphones began to show their own style, which is also recognizable from the recently introduced smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S10 is a trendless frameless smartphone that stands out from the crowd. Perhaps it stands out exactly as long as hard-working Chinese have not made copies, but at point of time the design of the Samsung Galaxy S10 is unique. What did they do? In principle, nothing special. The front panel of the Samsung Galaxy S10 is a solid screen. The front camera was embedded in the Amoled-matrix, using the technology of infinity-O, the fingerprint scanner was hidden under it, the conversational speaker was transferred to the junction of the screen and the top face. Thus, the display of the Samsung Galaxy S10 occupies almost 90% of the front panel - simply beauty.


An island of three cameras and a flash are located behind Samsung Galaxy S10, arranged in a horizontal line. Looks fresh, stylish, original. Slightly lower on the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy S10 you can find the inscription "Samsung", unfortunately. The main body material is glass. Marked body, but not slippery. And you can use the Samsung Galaxy S10 with one hand - framelessness allows you to fit a 6.1 inch display in your palm.
