What Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 has to offer

Samsung-Galaxy S10

Samsung has introduced a new line of premium smartphones: Galaxy S10, with three unique devices – the Galaxy S10, S10 +    and the S10e. All the new devices are fully upgraded with enhanced performance level, ground breaking innovations in display and camera functions.

The company is also celebrating 10 years since the launch of the very first Samsung Galaxy device.  “Since its launch ten years ago, the Galaxy S series has stood for premium innovation – offering consumers an incredible experience, and the ability to find the device that’s right for them,” David Suh, managing director at Samsung Electronics West Africa, said.

Speaking at the launch party in Lagos recently, Suh said that the “Galaxy S10 builds on that incredible legacy, and delivers breakthrough display, camera, and performance innovations. With three premium devices, each built for a unique consumer in mind, Samsung is leveraging a decade of industry leadership to usher in a new era of smartphone technology.”

With its power sharing capabilities, you can now charge your other devices wirelessly with an S10 device. It is also built with premium hardware and machine learning software including the AI-powered performance enhancement and Intelligent Wi-Fi.

Introducing the Dynamic AMOLED Display: Full Screen Experience with Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner

Galaxy S10 is made with Samsung’s best screen yet, the world’s first Dynamic AMOLED display. As the first HDR10+-certified smartphone, the display delivers vivid digital content, and with dynamic tone mapping, you’ll see a wider range of colour for a brilliant, realistic picture. Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display is also VDE-certified for vibrant bright colours1 and the industry’s best contrast ratio on a mobile device for even deeper blacks and brighter whites.

The result of an incredible engineering process, Galaxy S10’s unique Infinity-O Display packs an array of sensors and camera technology into a hole-in display – so users can maximise screen real estate without any distractions.

Samsung revealed that its Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display also includes the first-ever embedded Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner5 that reads the 3D contours of your physical thumbprint – not a 2D image of it – for improved anti-spoofing. With the world’s first FIDO Alliance Biometric Component certification, this next generation biometrics authentication offers vault-like security to keep your device safe.

Pro-Grade Camera:

Building on Samsung’s camera leadership of Dual Pixel and Dual Aperture firsts, Galaxy S10 introduces new camera technology and advanced intelligence that makes it easy to take epic shots and videos:

Ultra-Wide Lens: A first for the S Series, Galaxy S10 offers an Ultra-Wide Lens with a 123-degree field of view, like the human eye, so what you see is what’s in frame. Perfect for impressive landscape shots, big panoramas and even fitting the entire extended family into the photo, the Ultra-Wide Lens ensures that you’ll always be able to capture the full scene.

AI Camera: Galaxy S10 makes already smart features more accurate with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) so users can get pro-grade shots worth sharing without having to manually select any advanced camera settings. Scene Optimizer can now recognise and more accurately process additional scenes because of the NPU.

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e have begun in Nigeria from Friday, February 22, 2019 and will last until March 14, 2019.
