14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung will unveil the new Galaxy S10 lineup next month, and the closer we get to this unveiling, the more information emerges on what to expect from the new flagship.
According to a recent leak from @OnLeaks, the Plus version of the Samsung Galaxy S10, presumably called Galaxy S10+, will be the thinnest since 2015, as the device is expected to measure just 7.79mm.
The latest model that gets close in terms of thickness is the Galaxy S7 Edge, which was 7.7mm thin, while the Galaxy S8 increased to 8mm versus 8.1mm on the Plus sibling. The S9 series, both the standard and the larger model, was pretty close with 8.5mm,
What’s more impressive is that Samsung manages to make its devices thinner despite fitting in more technology. For example, the Galaxy S10 Plus is expected to come with three cameras on the back, at least one-front facing camera integrated into the screen, plus a fingerprint sensor embedded into the glass.
LPDDR5 RAM
In addition to being thinner, the Galaxy S10 will also be faster than its predecessor thanks to the use of LPDDR5 RAM.
While this is still in the rumor stage for now, upgrading from LPDDR4 would provide the Galaxy S10 lineup with a significant performance boost, as the company itself said in July when announcing the new chips.
“The 8Gb LPDDR5 boasts a data rate of up to 6,400 megabits per second (Mb/s), which is 1.5 times as fast as the mobile DRAM chips used in current flagship mobile devices (LPDDR4X, 4266Mb/s). With the increased transfer rate, the new LPDDR5 can send 51.2 gigabytes (GB) of data, or approximately 14 full-HD video files (3.7GB each), in a second,” it said at that point.
Most likely, the Plus version will feature 8GB RAM, whereas the base Galaxy S10 could stick with 6GB RAM for now.
