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.

Design & display

Here's what else to expect from Galaxy S10 variants

According to previous reports and rumors, the Galaxy S10 and S10+ variants will feature 6.11-inch and 6.44-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O displays with curved edges, QHD+ resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio, respectively.

Another variant, S10 Lite will feature a flat 5.75-inch Infinity-O display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio, QHD resolution, and rear-or side-mounted fingerprint sensor or possibly an optical in-display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood

All Galaxy S10 variants to get Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820

Samsung's upcoming flagships will be powered by the latest mobile chipsets available. Hence, depending on markets, all Galaxy S10 models should come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820.

Moreover, the S10-series will also debut the recently announced Android Pie-based One UI.

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

But, the battery specifications are not impressive

According to reputed tipster @IceUniverse, the top-end Galaxy S10+ will pack a 4,000mAh battery. The Galaxy S10 is said to come with a 3,500mAh battery while Galaxy S10 Lite will be backed by a 3,100mAh battery.

Unofficial

UK pricing details of all the Galaxy S10 models
