Samsung leaks Galaxy S10's ad hours before launch
What's the story
In a few hours, Samsung will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Galaxy series with the launch of all-new Galaxy S10 and its siblings.
There is a lot of hype around the phones, but tech enthusiasts have already leaked all there is to know about them: from looks to features.
Now, in another similar case, Samsung itself has leaked the official S10 commercial.
What happened
Official Galaxy S10 ad seen in Norway
As reported by The Verge, Norway's largest commercial broadcaster TV 2 "accidentally" aired a 30-second-long commercial promoting the unannounced Galaxy S10.
The ad doesn't show anything new but confirms a lot of stuff that had been tipped through photos, videos, and other recent leaks.
Clearly, Samsung is having a hard time keeping the lid of leaks closed. Or is it staged?
Features seen
What the leaked ad confirms
The video commercial is in Norwegian and you might not understand its text, but the visuals shown are more than enough to know what's coming.
This includes a hole punch cutout, a round one for S10 and an oblong one with two sensors for S10+, triple camera sensors on the back, and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner right above the USB-C port.
Information
Plus, the phones can act as wireless charger
Along with this, the ad even shows Samsung's AirPods-like Galaxy wireless earbuds which can reportedly be charged from the upcoming flagships. Meaning, S10 will also act as a wireless charger.
Mystery
Still, there's a lot more to know
Though Galaxy S10 and S10+ are not shrouded in mystery, there's still a lot more to know, especially about the iPhone Xr competitor S10e and Galaxy Fold.
We haven't seen too many leaks about the two devices which are definitely going to be key drivers of the event.
As per rumors, S10e may sport a 5.8-inch non-curved LCD display, side-mounted fingerprint, and dual rear cameras.
Pricing
Expected price, availability of Galaxy S10 lineup
Just recently, 91Mobiles cited a Samsung distributor to report that S10+, S10, and S10e will go on sale from March 15.
The report also noted S10 lineup will start at Rs. 50,000 for the base-end S10e model whereas the premium S10 and S10+ will be priced at Rs. 65,000 and Rs. 75,000, respectively.
Galaxy fold is said to be priced around Rs. 1,30,000.
