“More screen, more cameras, more choices.” That’s the mantra behind Samsung’s Galaxy S10 range. There are four distinct models to choose from – including a futuristic 5G flagship that’s going to be the phone to beat in 2019. Here are the specifications for all four Galaxy S10 phones, along with Australian pricing and release date.

It has been ten years since the first Samsung Galaxy phone wowed Android enthusiasts around the world. To mark the occasion, Samsung is really pulling out all the stops with no fewer than four S10 models hitting the market.
“With four unique devices, the Galaxy S10 line is engineered to meet the distinct needs of today’s smartphone market, so consumers can do more of what they love,” Samsung said in a statement. “Each device delivers a next-generation experience in the categories consumers care about most: groundbreaking innovations in display, camera and performance.”
If you’re a Galaxy fan, you will know what to expect from the S10 and S10+ which follow the same design principle of past handsets. But there’s also the “entry level” Galaxy S10e and the ultra-deluxe Galaxy S10 5G. Let’s take a look at how each phone differs.

As you can see in the above table, the Galaxy S10e sports a smaller 5.8-inch AMOLED display, up to 8GB RAM, a 3100mAh battery and a cheaper dual-camera array (a standard 12MP lens and the 12MP ultra-wide angle lens.) If you prefer slightly smaller handset and can live without some bells and whistles, this could be the model to get.
The S10 and S10+, meanwhile, come with a curved Dynamic AMOLED display, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, three rear-facing cameras (12MP telephoto, 12MP wide-angle and 16MP ultra-wide), 8GB memory and, in the case of the S10+, up to 1TB of onboard storage. The S10 has a 3400mAh battery. On the S10+, this has been bumped up to 4100mAh.
The S10 5G – which will be released later in the year – boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED, which is the largest Galaxy smartphone display ever. It also has a beefier 4500mAh battery, 3D image capturing, Super Fast Charging at 25W and 5G connectivity. Samsung is billing the S10 5G as a phone for people who want “more of everything”.
