14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has finally announced the official prices and launch details of the Galaxy S10 5G after previously revealing the device at the Unpacked event on February 20.
Originally supposed to launch by the end of March, the Galaxy S10 with 5G support will become available in Samsung’s home market on April 5.
South Korea will thus be the first country to get the Galaxy S10 5G thanks to the existing network support for this model, but Samsung plans to release the device in the United States later this year as well. No specifics have been provided on US availability.
Two storage options, three colors
The Galaxy S10 5G will be available in three different colors, namely Majestic Black, Royal Gold, and Crown Silver. There will be two different storage options for this model, 256 GB and 512 GB.
The 256 GB Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will sell in South Korea for 1.39 million won (about $1,230 at the existing currency conversion rates) and will be offered in Crown Silver, Majestic Black, and Royal Gold.
On the other hand, the 512 GB configuration will be more expensive at 1.55 million won (approximately $1,370) and will only be available in Crown Silver and Majestic Black.
Samsung partners in South Korea have already started taking pre-orders for the 5G smartphone and shipments will begin later this week.
“We are at the beginning of a new era where the incredible speed and connectivity of 5G becomes a reality, bringing the world closer to Samsung’s vision of connected living,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “We are proud of the work we’ve accomplished to bring our first 5G smartphone to market and look forward to bringing it to everyone around the world in the coming year.”
No further details have been shared on other markets that’ll get the Galaxy S10 5G.
