The closer we get to the official launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S10, the more we find out about the device.

Today, we’re having a closer look at the entire Galaxy S10 lineup, all thanks to reliable leakster Evan Blass who posted a press render revealing the three devices in transparent cases.

First and foremost, the leak confirms the Galaxy S10 series would include three different models, and according to Blass, these are expected to be called Samsung Galaxy S10E, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+.

The differences between the three are most noticeable in the camera department, where the base version would come with a dual-camera system, whereas its bigger siblings would feature a triple-camera configuration.

Another big change is the removal of the fingerprint sensor from the back of the phones. While the Galaxy S9 and the Note 9 came with the sensor on the rear, rumor has it that Samsung will embed it into the glass, so you’ll be able to unlock the S10 by simply putting your finger on the screen.

Fingerprint sensor on the side for base model

The base version will be the only one to embrace a different approach, as Samsung will put the fingerprint sensor on the side. This leak confirms this is the case, as the button on the left side of the screen appears to be significantly larger than on the bigger models.

The S10 will use a horizontal camera layout as on the Galaxy Note 9, and the flash will be placed right next to them, and not below the cameras as some leaks have previously suggested.

Meanwhile, a benchmark that’s making the rounds right now indicates that the base Galaxy S10 could come with 6GB of RAM and run Android Pie out of the box. This means there’s a chance the larger models would be upgraded to 8GB of RAM.

The Galaxy S10 lineup will be unveiled on February 20 at a dedicated Samsung event, while sales are projected to kick off in early March.
