Live images of Galaxy S10, S10+ confirm major design changes
Samsung's Galaxy S10 lineup is set to launch on February 20. So far, several leaks and renders have given away details about the design and specifications of the upcoming flagships.
And now, for the first time, live images of the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ have been leaked, which confirm major design changes introduced by the Korean tech giant.
Here's a sneak peek.
Infinity-O
Galaxy S10, S10+: At a glance
Up front, both the S10 and S10+ feature bezel-less, curved Infinity-O displays with a single front camera on the former and a pill-shaped dual camera on the latter.
Further, both phones have a horizontally-stacked triple rear camera, USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack.
However, a physical fingerprint scanner is missing on both flagships, suggesting previous speculations of an in-screen fingerprint sensor are correct.
All about the screen
Galaxy S10+ to offer higher screen-to-body ratio than Galaxy S10
As seen in the leaked images, the S10 seems to have a marginally thicker bottom bezel than the Galaxy S10+.
Hence, we expect the Plus model to offer a slightly higher screen to body ratio than the regular S10.
Moreover, an earlier leak claimed that both phones will come in black, white, yellow and green colors with a gradient finish on some options.

And, Gizmodo UK previously claimed that S10 will offer Powershare - a reverse wireless charging feature (similar to Huawei Mate 20 Pro).
