According to Samsung, the Galaxy S10 series is the culmination of a decade of innovation. We got to see these phones up-close, and we can say that they definitely felt premium and powerful after testing them out.

The Galaxy S10 series delivers groundbreaking innovations meant to elevate your mobile experience. Here are a few noteworthy mentions:

1. Experience a truly full-screen Dynamic AMOLED Display

What this means is that you'll get to enjoy vivid digital content with a wider range of colours for a brilliant, realistic picture.

Even better, thanks to the punch-hole screen design and in-display fingerprint scanner, you get a real full-screen experience without any notches or buttons getting in the way.

2. Unlock your phone with a simple tap on the screen

Speaking of the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, it's super easy to set up and it felt surprisingly smooth when we tried it out. The scanner reads the 3D contours of your physical thumbprint, not a 2D image of it. The first of its kind for smartphones, this feature is not only convenient, but provides your phone with another level of protection.

3. Capture amazing 4K videos—with both cameras

While some phones can already shoot in 4K, this is the first time you'll be able to do so with both the front and back cameras. You can capture videos with your front camera, switch it to the rear camera, and still end up with matching 4K footage. Besides that, the Galaxy S10 series offers Super Steady recording with digital stabilisation technology.

4. Feel the thrill of using a high-performance smartphone

With up to 8GB of RAM, your mobile experience will be smoother than ever. Whether it's playing PUBG Mobile, using multiple apps, or just scrolling through Instagram, you won't have to worry about your phone lagging or dying on you halfway through.

5. Extend your battery life and enjoy wireless charging

The Galaxy S10 series features super long battery life for all its models, thanks to the 3,100mAh (S10e), 3,400mAh (S10), and 4,100mAh (S10+) batteries. With all this extra juice, you can also wirelessly charge all your other devices and accessories like the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch.

6. Plug your favourite earbuds into the headphone jack

Yes, there's still a headphone jack in the Galaxy S10 series, so you won't have to worry about getting adapters. However, if you're active and always on the go, you'll want to consider getting the all-new Galaxy Buds, Samsung's own wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
