Samsung had launched its Galaxy S10 5G last month, however, the phone was not made available for purchase along with other models. Now, the company has revealed that the Galaxy S10 5G will go on sale in South Korea in the first week of April.
Unlike other S10 series smartphones, the phone won’t be up for pre-sale and will directly be available for purchase. This marks the sale of the world’s largest smartphone vendor’s first 5G smartphone. However, the company has not yet announced the phone’s pricing but it is expected to be priced around 1.5 million won (approx. $1,332).
Earlier this week, the state-run National Radio Research Agency said that Galaxy S10’s 5G model has passed signal verification test. This gives a green light for the launch of the smartphone in the South Korean market.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G looks very similar to the Galaxy S10+, but unlike the rest of the phones in the Galaxy S10 series, this one comes with 5G support. On a 5G network, Samsung says users of Galaxy S10 5G “can download a full season of a TV show in minutes, play graphics-rich cloud games with virtually no lag, enjoy enhanced VR and AR experiences and stay in touch with friends and family via real-time 4K video calls”.
It features a 6.7-inch Infinity-O Curved AMOLED Display and is powered by Exynos 9820 or Snapdragon 855 SoC depending on the region. The smartphone also has 8 GB RAM at disposal with 256 GB of storage onboard. Below are the phone’s full specifications:
