Galaxy S10 vs other Android flagships

Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and all other companies have already released their flagship phones recently. In the competition prior to the release of Galaxy S10, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro easily beaten other devices. The Mate 20 Pro comes with a fingerprint scanner, a triple-camera setup at the back which grabbed the top spot at DxOmark, and a curved display. After this, all eyes were on Samsung.

To win this competition, Samsung launched three Samsung Galaxy S10 devices. In the Galaxy S10 Trio, the Galaxy S10E is the budget-friendly device while the S10 and S10 Plus are expensive devices. Galaxy S10E is a compact device with slightly fewer features than the other two devices. The Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus have successfully seized the top spot from the likes of Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

Galaxy S10 Plus has a 1TB storage variant supporting microSD card which means you can expand this storage to 1.5TB. The new Samsung lineup uses WiFi 6, which is also a first in the smartphone industry.
