Samsung's Galaxy S10 To Come In Three Sizes, With An In-Display Fingerprint Sensor (theverge.com)

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Samsung will launch the Galaxy S10 in three different sizes: 5.8 inches, 6.1 inches, and 6.4 inches. They are nearly the same sizes that Kuo expects Apple's next series of iPhones to come in. The Verge reports: The larger two S10 models will include in-display fingerprint sensors, Kuo says, while the smaller model will include a fingerprint sensor on the side. That suggests the smaller model will be Samsung's entry-level offering, while the larger two will potentially have higher-end specs and features. Another recent rumor says the S10 might include five cameras, adding an additional wide angle option to the back and another lens to the front for capturing portrait effects. It's very likely plans will change between now and when the Galaxy S10 launches, which should be early next year. The next flagship smartphone to come from the South Korean company will be the Galaxy Note 9. It's expected to make its appearance at an event on August 9th.

    The only size that matters to me is that of the unremovable bloatware. Looks like I'm sticking with a Google Pixel.

      Look into Motorola, they're also good at sticking to near-pure Android with no bullshit.

    And neither should most people.

    For 99% of the population, this new phone does EXACTLY what your old phone did, in almost EXACTLY the same way.

    Oh, your old phone is slow?

    Get a new battery. Yeah, seriously.

    iPhones aren't the only phones that throttle the hell out of themselves when they dont get enough voltage.

    My S7 edge works freaking great with a new battery and Android Oreo. I think I'll keep it for a couple more years.
