\nThe Galaxy S10 is already one of the most anticipated phones of 2019, considering what we\u2019re seeing in leaks these days. The phone should have a bigger Infinity Display than its predecessors, an in-display fingerprint sensor like no other phone including the iPhone, and up to five cameras, including three on the back and two on the front.
However, you can forget all about Samsung\u2019s phone for the time being, because one of its biggest rivals is about to come out with a phone that might offer Galaxy S10-grade specs this year.
Samsung may be focusing all its obnoxious ads on the iPhone X right now, but Huawei might be an even more dangerous enemy for Samsung than Apple. The Chinese smartphone maker already topped Apple when it comes to smartphone sales last quarter, and it\u2019s no secret that it\u2019ll want to displace Samsung from that top spot in the near future.
As Samsung prepares to launch its second \u201cboring\u201d phone of the year, the Galaxy Note 9, Huawei is supposedly working on the Huawei Mate 20, the successor of last year\u2019s Mate 10 flagship (seen above).
The Mate 20 might hit various markets long before the Galaxy S10 launches, and xda-developers obtained more information about the handset from a leaked Mate 20 firmware found by FunkyHuawei.club .
The Mate 20 series will come in three versions, including Lite, regular, and Pro, which would be in line with Huawei\u2019s strategy for the P20 phone that launched earlier this year.
The top Mate 20 pro models will pack substantial OLED displays, with 6.9-inch being the rumored size for the Pro model. It\u2019s worth noting that Huawei\u2019s Honor brand just launched the Note 10, a phone packing a huge 6.95-inch screen. The firmware shows that the Mate 20 screen will measure at least 6.3-inch diagonally. Will there be a notch? We have no idea, but it\u2019s likely Huawei will stick with notch designs for a while longer. The Galaxy S10, meanwhile, will have a much bigger Infinity Display, but it won\u2019t have a notch.
It\u2019s unclear whether the Mate 20 will have a notch, but it won\u2019t have a physical phone button, at least the more expensive version. The phone will pack an in-display fingerprint sensor, the report notes, although it\u2019s unclear if it\u2019s an optical or ultrasonic sensor. Samsung is reportedly going to use ultrasonic tech inside next year\u2019s Galaxy S10.
Other rumored Mate 20 specs include the HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor, a successor of the Kirin 970 introduced by last year\u2019s Mate 10. The chip is built on 7nm FinFET tech, which marks a first for the Android ecosystem. It\u2019s unclear at this time whether the S10 will have a 7nm chip, but it\u2019s likely Samsung is also looking to upgrade its flagship phones to the latest chip tech. Apple, A12 chip that will power the 2018 iPhones will surely be a 7nm chip.
The Kirin 980, expected to debut at IFA 2018 in early September, will have a max clock of 2.8GHz, and it\u2019s rumored to deliver 20% better performance while consuming 40% less energy.
The Mate 20 will have at least 6GB of RAM, and the leaked firmware says there\u2019s a 128GB flash storage option.
The phone will have a 4,200 mAh battery that\u2019s even larger than the 4,000 mAh batteries inside this year\u2019s P20 Pro (image above) or Galaxy Note 9 smartphones. Wireless charging is also included, which means the Mate 20 will have a glass sandwich design like all the other phones that support wireless charging.
There aren\u2019t any details about the phone\u2019s cameras, but we\u2019d expect the Mate 20 Pro to feature a triple-lens cam like the P20 Pro. The top of the line Galaxy S10 will also have three cameras on the back.
Finally, the phone already features an EMUI 9.0 user interface built atop of Android P, which is an exciting detail for Android users looking to get on Google\u2019s latest Android version as fast as possible. The Galaxy S10 will likely launch with Android P preloaded.
Given that the Kirin 980 chip isn\u2019t official, and the final Android P version hasn\u2019t been released yet, we\u2019d expect the Mate 20 to hit markets at some point in October, considering that\u2019s what Huawei did with the Mate 10 last year \u2014 the Mate 10 then launched in November.
In other words, the Mate 20 will have plenty of time to steal buyers who might be waiting for the Galaxy S10, even if the phone will lack carrier support in the US.<\/p>\n
