Six cameras and 5G
SAMSUNG’S new 5G phone, which features six cameras, a bigger battery and a larger screen, will be available in Australia from May 28.
The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will be available from Telstra and Samsung Experience Stores.
Telstra customers who bought the Galaxy S10+ during the eligibility period earlier this year will be able to upgrade to the Galaxy S10 5G at no additional cost.
The announcement comes as Huawei is facing a public relations nightmare after action by the US Government.
Huawei’s P30 Pro camera has been hailed as arguably the best on the market, but problems with its Google updates and software, caused by the stoush, could put Samsung in the box seat.
The Galaxy S10 5G combines 5G and 4GX network to provide super high speed capabilities. Customers will be able to download a fulllength feature movie to their mobile device in seconds.
Applications using high volumes of data like augmented and virtual reality, gaming and video conferencing will also benefit from 5G.
The handset includes a 6.7inch display, 4500mAh battery with super fast charging capability and top camera for photos and video.
The six cameras are enhanced with intelligence, similar to that offered by the P30 Pro.
The 16MP Ultra Wide camera captures a 123-degree field of vision. The camera also offers live focus video, which helps to focus and create bokeh effects to make the subject stand out.
With a new 3D Depth camera, users can also detect depth, distance, height and length of objects within the camera’s vision using quick measure.
The Galaxy S10 5G rear camera capabilities received an overall DxOMark of 112, with a score of 117 for its still camera performance.
Samsung says it was the first smartphone to receive a DxOMark of 100 for its video capabilities.
The device will be available with 256GB or 512GB memory variants.
Two colour options will also be available, these being crown silver for the 256GB variant, or majestic black for the 256GB and 512GB variants.
