Samsung S10 Lite Would Be The Only One In The Lineup To Come In Special Colors

New Galaxy S10 Lite leaks revealed in which color schemes the budget smartphone of the next year’s Samsung flagship series would boast, and it would be the only one in the lineup to come in special colors. It is clear why Samsung has decided to divide its anniversary Galaxy S lineup into four models. Namely, because of the Apple’s iPhone XR, a smartphone that, as we already know, has rolled out as a top device of the so-called budget range.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Specs And Prices

The Galaxy S10 Lite is expected to launch during the first quarter of 2019, most likely in February 2019, along with the other, more performant smartphones of the series, the Galaxy S10, with a 6.1-inch screen, and the Galaxy S10 Plus, with a 6.4-inch display. According to the latest information, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will boast a 5.8-inch Infinity-O display, which means it will reduce edges to their minimum while maintaining the “Edge” finish and showing a punch hole in the screen to hold the selfies camera.

Regarding its specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite would boast a Snapdragon 855 for North America (and an Exynos 9820 for other markets), 6 GB RAM, dual-camera system on its back (according to some latest rumors), 128 GB storage capacity, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

In theory, Galaxy S10 Lite would cost between $700 and $820, a quite affordable price, that would make it an attractive alternative to Apple’s iPhone XR.

Below, you can see in which color schemes the next year’s Samsung Galaxy S10 devices would come out. It is surprising to see that Galaxy S10 Lite is the only one that would come out in special colors:

  • Galaxy S10 Lite: yellow, black, white, green and blue;
  • Galaxy S10: black, white, green and blue;
  • Galaxy S10+: black, white, green and blue;

Also, according to the latest Samsung Galaxy S10 leaks, the Galaxy S10 Special Edition would come out with a ceramic back for both its black and white variants. Samsung Galaxy Special Edition will be the version with 5G.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Cancellation Is In The Rumors

Samsung Galaxy S10 is the South Korean company’s anniversary smartphone to celebrate ten years of Galaxy S series. However, Samsung has confirmed the cancellation of Samsung Galaxy S10 feature. That information popped up thanks to a Forbes article written by Gordon Kelly.

“This week Samsung gave users a glimpse into the future of its smartphone design, and it features an all-new bezel-less ‘punch hole’ Infinity-O display and the end of the headphone jack,” said Gordon Kelly from Forbes.

“The Infinity-O display is the breaking news attributes of the recently released Samsung Galaxy A8s. “Its arrival also follows earlier reports that Samsung planned to remove the headphone jack from the Galaxy Note 10 and was now “toying” with pulling it from the Galaxy S10 as well. The USB-C port will be left, and a separate conversion jack will be provided for 3.5mm earphone users,” said Kelly, according to sources.

The new rumors revealed that the future Galaxy S10 would ditch the 3.5-mm jack, choosing the USB-C port, but, according to recent rumor. ” USB-C will be left, and a separate conversion jack will be provided for 3.5mm earphone users,” as the sources claimed for Forbes.

“Samsung still has enough time to tweak the Galaxy S10 in either direction (it is likely gauging the reaction to the Galaxy A8s as we speak) and leaked cases for the S10 have shown designs both with and without a headphone jack. But this one is clearly going down to the wire,” said Gordon Kelly from the Forbes.

“I suspect Samsung knows this, which is why the Galaxy S10 otherwise comes jampacked with cutting-edge features including the world’s first ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, up to four rear cameras, the option of 5G connectivity and a new entry-level budget model,” Kelly added on Forbes.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Would Come Out With Five Cameras

Yesterday several renders of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus were released. Although these are only conceptual designs, several sources close to Samsung have confirmed that this would be the final design of the new top-of-the-range smartphone that the South Korean giant company would launched in 2019.

Now, according to the new leaks, the Galaxy S10 Plus would boast a dual-camera setup under the touchscreen. Let’s remember that early rumors predicted a front camera invisible to the user. It seems that this will not be the case in the end.

With each passing day, we gradually learn about the features of the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10 Lite. Last week the well-known youtuber Dave Lee made public a video with the supposed design of Samsung’s 2019 mobile phones. A week later we can finally confirm the look of the vitamin model.

In the images published by the Twitter user Ice Universe you can see that the device will come with a dual-camera on the front, located to the right of the screen. These cameras, unlike what was initially said, will be found under the touchscreen instead of the AMOLED panel, making them visible to the eyes of users.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Would Come Out With Five Cameras

The reasons could be due to the possible facial unlocking system that the Galaxy S10 Plus model would integrate in both sensors, although there is still nothing confirmed by the company.

Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus leaks confirmed the increase of the screen ratio with respect to the total size of the device and the integration of an in-display fingerprint sensor, as has been rumoured for some time.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus will be the only one of the three 2019 models to have a dual front camera, plus a three-sensor camera at the rear of the terminal. Its design could be quite similar to the one we can see in the image below and similar to the Samsung Galaxy A8s that will be presented next week.

In this last aspect, we will have to wait for new Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus leaks to know more details of the rest of the S10 models that will be presented during the Mobile World Congress in 2019.

Samsung Galaxy A8 Series Would Be The First To Ditch The Popular 3.5-mm Headphones Jack

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy A8s is going to be a turning point for the South Korean company just as the Samsung Galaxy A7 with its triple camera has been. However, this time, there is not good news, as the Samsung Galaxy A8 series might be the first to ditch the famous 3.5-mm headphones jack.

According to some recent leaks, Samsung has been planning to eliminate the 3.5-mm jack for a long time, following the example set by Apple. New rumors say that Samsung Galaxy A8 series would be the first to come out without the minijack, in what the South Korean company dubs as an effort to enhance the use of the USB-C port.

If consumers accept this change and the reception of the change is positive, we could presume that other future Samsung devices would also come out without the 3.5-mm headphones jack.

The fact that Samsung is going to eliminate the headphone port of their phones is something that has been speculated for a long time, following the strategy of other brands such as Apple, who has decided to eliminate the minijack from their phones since the iPhone 7.

However, it’s not the first time we’ve heard rumors saying that the South Korean company is going to eliminate the 3.5-mm jack.

A couple of years ago, some rumors also said that the Samsung Galaxy S8 series would come out without the popular minijack for headphones, but, eventually, Samsung released its flagship with the 3.5-mm jack. However, things have changed in 2018 regarding both the technology and smartphone users’ desires, so it might be better for Samsung to ditch the minijack.

Samsung Galaxy A8 series, which would be the first to come out without the popular 3.5-mm jack, would be presented at the next CES in Las Vegas.

Pokemon Go Creators, Niantic, Hired To Make Exclusive Mobile Games for Samsung Galaxy Devices

Today, news emerged that, although doesn’t intend to shake up the telephone industry, it can, in some way, change the panorama of mobile gaming. Now, we have exclusive games for Samsung, exclusive games for Huawei, exclusive games for Xiaomi, and so on, so we could be at the beginning of a new era for mobile gaming. According to recently released reports, Samsung is planning to invest $40 million in Niantic, the devs behind Pokemon Go, among other titles for iOS and Android, for them start developing exclusive mobile games for Samsung Galaxy devices.

An anonymous source would have told The Inquirer that this new partnership could result in games that would be included by default on Samsung Galaxy smartphones shortly.

That opens the door to a future where a much fiercer competition would be happening between smartphone brands just as there is now an open battle between PS4 and Xbox One, for example.

Pokemon Go Creators, Niantic, Hired To Make Exclusive Mobile Games for Samsung Galaxy Devices

At the moment we have to wait for confirmation from either Samsung or Niantic, as there are still no official statements from any of the two companies. An official announcement would come out by the end of the year, the same source reported for The Inquirer, who also added that the first exclusive Samsung mobile game made by Niantic would come out in 2019 and, reportedly, would be included on the future Samsung Galaxy S10.

If we take a look at what happened with Fortnite, exclusively launched for Galaxy Note 9 for Android, the agreement between Niantic And Samsung might differ in reality from what the source has stated for The Inquirer. It might as well mean that Niantic, Pokemon Go creators, would create for Samsung some temporary exclusive titles so that the Galaxy users would be the first to play those mobile games before Niantic rolls them out for a wider public.

For now, some rumors pointed to Harry Potter: Wizards Unite as the first Niantic game to arrive exclusively on Samsung Galaxy devices next year.
