NEXT GENERATION INFINITY-O DISPLAY ON AMOLED

Galaxy S10 builds on Samsung’s heritage of creating stunning designs and functional smartphones. Available in 5.8-inch Galaxy S10e, 6.1-inch Galaxy S10 and 6.4-inch Galaxy S10+, the smartphones feature the world’s first Dynamic AMOLED display.

Galaxy S10 supports HDR10+ content; it delivers vivid digital content and dynamic tone mapping, allowing consumers to see a wider range of colour for a brilliant, realistic picture. Users can enjoy the world’s most accurate colours on a mobile device, even in harsh sunlight. Even without a filter, Galaxy S10 reduces blue light through its TÜV Rheinland-certified Eye Comfort display which helps protect your eyes without compromising picture quality. Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display is also VDE-certified for vibrant bright colours and extraordinary contrast ratio, for even deeper blacks and brighter whites.

By introducing a portfolio of seamless mobile experiences that are unlocked with the new Galaxy S10e, S10 and Galaxy S10+, Samsung is pushing beyond the limits of today’s technology to create meaningful innovation. Galaxy S10’s unique Infinity-O Display packs an array of sensors and camera technology into a hole-in display, allowing consumers to maximize their screen real estate without any distractions.

NEXT GENERATION SECURITY WITH ULTRASONIC FINGERPRINT SCANNER

Galaxy S10’s display isn’t the only piece of incredible tech built into the front of your smartphone. Embedded directly beneath the screen is the world’s first in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner that reads the 3D contours of a physical thumbprint, for improved anti-spoofing, allowing the phone to be unlocked securely and intuitively.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ smartphones are the world’s first products to receive certification from the FIDO Alliance’s new Biometric Component Certification Program.

NEXT GENERATION PHOTOGRAPHY WITH PRO-GRADE CAMERA

Samsung Galaxy S10 series redefines the photography experience on a smartphone. Building on Samsung’s camera leadership of Dual Pixel and Dual Aperture firsts, Galaxy S10 introduces Penta Pro-Grade Camera and advanced intelligence that makes it easy to take epic shots and videos.

Galaxy S10 and S10+ feature a triple camera module design. The main camera module has a 12 MP sensor and a dual-aperture lens that intelligently varies between an f/1.5 and f/2.4 aperture. The secondary camera is a 12 MP 2x telephoto lens, with an f/2.4 lens. The devices come with an ultra-wide-angle 16 MP lens and a 123-degree Field of View (FoV), allowing users not only see wider, but also closer with a naked eye.

For consumers who create videos, Galaxy S10 offers Super Steady recording with digital stabilization technology. Whether you’re dancing in the middle of an amazing concert or trying to record every detail of a bumpy bike ride, Super Steady allows users to capture the moment. S10’s front camera supports UHD video so you can capture high-quality content and record 4K UHD Selfie videos and in an industry first, the rear camera gives you the flexibility to record video in HDR10+.

With the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) available on the chipset, users can get pro-grade shots without having to manually select any advanced camera settings. Scene Optimizer can automatically recognize and more accurately process additional scenes because of the NPU. And with AI Photo Assist, Galaxy S10 offers automatic composition recommendations for users to frame their photos better than ever.

Galaxy S10 will directly launch Instagram through its camera app, turning the device into one of the best ways to experience Instagram. Galaxy S10’s camera app includes an Instagram Mode button and with a simple click, you can record and upload full-screen videos directly to Instagram – all without opening the app.

The Galaxy S10 will come with a new and improved version of Bixby Vision. This is a ‘Make for India’ innovation for Indian consumers developed by the Samsung R&D Institute, Bengaluru.

Through partnership with online fashion retailer Myntra, Bixby Vision on the Galaxy S10 will provide a new ‘Try and Buy’ feature that will make shopping more convenient than ever before.

Bixby Vision will also allow S10 users to find nearby restaurants by simply pointing their cameras at a street or a building. Samsung has partnered with Magicpin to provide users with live information on nearest local restaurants and points of interest right from their camera.
