GALAXY S10 Hands -on: Agretsive, cutting -edge

It looks like a really good job.

Galaxy S10 hands -on has arrived from Gizmodo, USA, who participated in Samsung's new Galaxy announcement event "Unpacked 2019".The S10 series is all four models.Please at once.

Galaxy S9 was also good.But that's because of the variable aperture camera and AR emoticons.I thought these functions were interesting, but it lacked the impact as a smartphone.

So, this time, Samsung has pushed the hardware sharpness to the Galaxy S10.The latest Snapdragon 855 chipset is adopted for the processor, and in addition to functions that are not very common in other models such as reverse wireless charging and Wi-Fi 6, self-camera is also devised.

4 models this year

Before touching the new features, it is worth noting that the Galaxy S10 lineup has been increased from the usual two to four in 2019.Standard 6.In addition to 1 inch "Galaxy S10", large 6.4 inch "Galaxy S10+", in addition to this, it will be a low -cost option 5.8 -inch "Galaxy S10E" and high -tech full 6.A 7 -inch "Galaxy S10 5G" has been newly added.

The price is $ 750 (83,000 yen).Five.The 8 -inch Galaxy 10E is one of the people who want to make it cheaper because it is good on a normal screen, not a stylish carvy screen.Compared to the $ 900 (99,9700 yen) Galaxy S10 and the $ 1,000 (11800 yen) S10+, the S10E has not dropped so much.

The Galaxy S10 is equipped with Snapdragon 855 for all models.The headphone jack is also attached to all models, as standard, 6GB for memory and 128GB for storage.This is twice as large as the conventional Galaxy.Not only is it compatible with multitasking, but even if it is the cheapest Galaxy S10, it is a calculation that can be expected.Five.The S10E on the 8 -inch screen will catch the heart of the person seeking a small mobile phone.

S10E, S10, and S10+are also equipped with "Dynamic AMOLED Display".This is named by Samsung, but it realizes more lively and colorful colors than any model so far.It's definitely the best display in the industry.On the S10 screen, the world's first HDR10+ standard display and Samsung have declared, reducing blue light by 42%without affecting color quality.And above all, Samsung is amazing is a punch hole -type cellphy camera.

"Polar screen" that will be the mainstream in the future

Samsung calls this "Infinity O (O) display".This design has already been adopted on S10 brothers and Huawei smartphones.But until now, there were no terminals that were officially deployed in the US market.So S10 is actually the first punch hall camera model.Although it is functionally the same as notch, the S10 gives a completely different impression from before.

The hole in the Infinity O display is on the upper right.Above all, it is less noticeable than the center notch.Even though the hole is empty in the form of hitting the display, the hole is not bothered at all when used in the hand.

Anyway, there are many "gimmicks" to the screen

Punch hole cameras are not only new features.I brought fingerprint authentication to the display.By embedding 3D ultrasonic scanners under the display, the size of the screen is expanded.

The S10 ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is the first recognition of FIDO (a group that promotes new online authentication with a living body), a newly formulated "biometric parts certification program".It has a strong security for spoofing.Samsung says that machine learning algorithm for sensor updates security patches.This can support smartphone payments such as Samsung Pay and Google Pay.

As a result, the iris authentication on Galaxy S8 and S9 will be lost.Face authentication is also possible by setting, but it is no longer a security level as before.As a result, fingerprint scanners become the main biometric authentication security of S10.The S10E does not have a fingerprint scanner with a built -in display, but it is attached to the side.

In addition to Snapdragon 855 processors, new hardware and software are incorporated.For example, video.There is also a camera shake correction function so that the video clip does not shake, so you can record 4K UHD with the camera on the front.The front camera has also become the same quality as a rear camera.

Still images add 10 subjects that can be recognized by the "Scene Optimizer" function that optimizes the settings by the subject.Now you can see the difference between cats and dogs.In addition, I came to recognize babies, shoes, cars, etc.In addition, the S10 series is 802.Compatible with 11ax (Wi-Fi 6).Galaxy S10 is ahead of the times before these technologies are commonly penetrated.

And I'm glad that the battery capacity is increased and the S10 series all models have an "adaptive power save mode".This is a function that suppresses electricity and reduces batteries based on daily use of smartphones.

The S10E with the same screen size as the standard Galaxy S9 is a slightly larger 3,100mAh battery (S9 is 3,000mAh).The standard S10 is 3,400mAh, and the S10+is 4,100mAh.

Continued with triple camera trends

Galaxy S10 also changes on the back.The triple camera on the back equipped with a triple lens has a 12MP wide -angle lens corresponding to a 77 -degree view, a 16MP ultra wide angle lens with a view of 123 degrees, and a 12MP telephoto lens with a view of 45 degrees (S10E).Equipped with only two cameras, a wide lens and an Ultra Wide lens).

This is a natural flow because triple cameras are now installed on the flagship smartphone.As a result, Galaxy S10 does not hit Huawei Mate 20 Pro and LG V40.

With reverse charging, earphones and one system

On the back of the Galaxy S10 series, there is a reverse wireless charging.This is a function that has been realized because of the plenty of battery capacity of Galaxy S10.S10QI devices that support wireless charging can be charged.Samsung clearly recommends a new completely wireless earphone "Galaxy Buds" for Galaxy S10 users.By the way, if you order S10 (in the United States), it will be available for free.

It's nice to be able to help your friend's charging sometimes quickly.In the S10 quick setting menu, you can switch on and off the reverse wireless charging, and it seems to be easy to use.Just tap the icon and put another device on the back of the S10.Since the wireless charging that comes as standard on the S10 has improved, it can be charged at the same speed as charging from the wall.

5G is also ahead

In the announcement of Samsung, there is always a topic in plus alpha, but this time the fourth model "Galaxy S10 5G" has become a focus.In addition to the first 5G compatible in the market, the screen of S10 5G is plenty 6.7 inches.The battery is 4,500mAh.A TOF camera that can measure three -dimensional information in light flight time is used on both the front and rear, which is about the same body as Galaxy Note9.

I had a chance to touch the S10 5G, but I wasn't even allowed to turn on the switch, so the hands -on of S10 5G would be really a good idea.He hasn't spread the 5G network yet, so the actual release will be after the second quarter, after the other S10 series.

There is no doubt that the S10 is a terminal that Samsung throws all the power, even at a high speed processor, a large battery, a number of unique functions that other companies do not have.It is undoubtedly the S10 will lead the industry, and can be asserted that 2019 is the time of buying.

Reservations for the S10 series will be on February 21 and the official sales will be on March 8 (in the United States).The S10E selling price starts at $ 750 (about 83,000 yen) for 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage.S10 and S10+are 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage, each for $ 900 (about 100,000 yen) and $ 1,000 (about 110,000 yen).512GB and 1TB version are also available.
