Can we officially say Happy 10th anniversary to Samsung Galaxy?! And is there a better way to celebrate your anniversary than keeping up the spirit of innovation and introducing a couple of world’s firsts? Those are spread out across the three variants that make up the core S10 group.

They introduce Dynamic AMOLED – the successor to Super AMOLED and the first HDR10+compatible mobile displays. Wireless PowerShare (that’s Samsung for reverse wireless charging) is featured on all three as is faster wireless charging.

Then there are the cameras. Front and rear cameras can record 4K video, the rear can even capture HDR10+ footage and features Super Steady digital stabilization. All three phones feature an ultra-wide camera, a new addition to Samsung’s flagship line (though the A-series got there first). The selfie cameras live in the punch holes of the Infinity-O screens.

The Galaxy S10 and S10+ came with the first ultrasonic fingerprint readers, which scan your finger in 3D, unlike the optical readers, which only see a 2D image. This is more accurate and it has gotten the nod from the FIDO Alliance.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is very identical to its Plus sibling. It’s more compact with a 6.1-inch screen, but it uses the same Dynamic AMOLED tech with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. There is only one selfie camera, but it keeps the important features – 10MP stills and 4K video.

The rear camera is identical – 12MP main cam (f1.5 and f/2.4) with OIS, 12MP telephoto with OIS and 16MP ultra-wide angle cam.

The Galaxy S10 comes with 8GB of RAM again and 128GB or 512GB storage (plus microSD slot). It has a 3,400mAh battery with the same wired and wireless charging functions.
