Pioneering the Next Decade with New Mobile Devices

For the past decade, Samsung has been at the forefront of 5G research and development, and the fruit of its labour is the transformation of 5G from an ambitious theoretical concept into reality. The company delivered the world’s first gigabit speed 5G transmission, the first 5G handover between multiple cells, and now, the company’s first 5G smartphone in the Galaxy S10 5G.

 

The Galaxy S10 5G puts unprecedented power, speed and connectivity directly into the hands of consumers with the most powerful feature set available on a Galaxy S line device. With 5G connectivity, Galaxy S10 5G can access network speeds up to roughly 20 times faster than 4G networks, enabling an elevated mobile experience that benefits from powerful hot-spotting, hyper-fast streaming, 4K video-calls and next-level mobile gaming.
