Samsung’s next phone, called the Samsung Galaxy S10 or the Beyond X, will probably be announced in February. Here’s what we know so far.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 is coming.
There are a lot of rumors out there. I’m collecting them but also adding some of my own confidential sources here. That said, I can’t say I’m right; I’m as right as I feel I can be at the moment. The one thing we absolutely know is that Samsung is announcing some Galaxy phones in San Francisco on Feb. 20, and you’ll be able to livestream the launch on Samsung.com.
My sources tell me there are three main models, with region-specific versions of each. The US, Canada, and China will get versions with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor; the rest of the world will get Exynos 9820-powered models.
Evan Blass goes further to say the three models will have 5.8-, 6.1-, and 6.4-inch screens. The renders he shows have front-facing cameras towards the top-center of the phone, though, when I’m pretty sure they’ll be at the top-right.
The three models are currently being referred to as the Samsung Galaxy S10e, the Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10+. GSMArena confirmed the S10e name for the phone previously called the “S10 Lite.” Slashleaks, via BGR, has more recent photos of the S10 and S10+ compared than the one I’m linking here.

Samsung will likely also show off its foldable phone, the Samsung Galaxy X or Galaxy F, at the event on the 20th, according to billboards in Paris spotted by TechRadar. However that model, which will be expensive and only have limited availability, is not considered to be part of the Galaxy S10 range.
We got hands-on time with a prototype of what we believe to be the 5G Galaxy S10 model at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit. It was big, but at least it wasn’t very thick. Leakers on Twitter have been churning out projections of what the phone will look like, so I’ll just give you their perspectives rather than paraphrasing.
