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.

One Size

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.

I second Motorola. I got an X4 to replace my bootlooped 5X. It's nearly the same, but it comes with an SD card slot. Not that it works like I expected, but it is a nice addition. I also love the double chop to turn on the flashlight and double twist to open the camera. I'm surprised no one else has picked those up yet. Unfortunately, it has the fingerprint reader on the wrong side. In-screen fingerprint readers are a waste of time. They belong on the back. A better innovation would be to eliminate the front-facing camera, put a small "selfie screen" on the back, and then just one camera on the back and an "all screen" front. Even if you never take selfies (like me) the extra screen would be nice for quick notifications when your phone is face down.

Oh, and supposedly Motorola phones come with all of the hardware glitchiness that you've come to expect from Nexus and Pixel phones, so you won't feel left out there.

And they are all hot

The most explosive devices in the market from Samsung, a company on fire, that is hell-bent on re-kindling customers' interest and searing the competition.

how about..

[kiviQr]

..less expensive, smaller screen so it is considered a phone not a tablet, decent battery that lasts at least 3 days, audio jack, external card?

And bring back the IR emitter while we're at it.

I'm assuming you were joking when asking for a feature that you would struggle to find something to talk to...

... like the hundreds of thousands of televisions that a mobile phone is perfectly capable of being a remote for?

Maybe they should remove the stereo jack as well. Maybe they have.

I dont care

[Anonymous Coward]

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.

Samsungs Galaxy S10, to come in 3 sizes, all of which will be curved.

If you'd like a non curved display? We don't care.
We don't offer it, go away. All flagship phones must be curved.

Like putting plastic / glass screen protectors on? Screw you.
Like not accidentally 'palming' your phone when it's in your hand? LOL like we care.

I've whined for 2.5 years about it now, they lost me. The lack of a tactile home button already sucks, very much. However this forced curved thing? Nope. No more sales from me.

Screw em.

Re:Here's more info

Why can't you put a screen protector on it? They are flexible enough to curve around the display.

The palming issue affects most phones now that ultra thin bezels are the norm, and was solved years ago with software. Same as palm rejection for large touchpads on laptops.
