14 DAY TRIAL // The Galaxy S10 will be one of the most important releases in a long time for Samsung, and the South Korean manufacturer has obviously prepared quite a plethora of major upgrades for the model that marks the 10th anniversary of the Galaxy S lineup.
While the design has been refined with an Infinity O display, smaller bezels, and a fingerprint sensor embedded into the screen, the hardware under the hood will also get some love.
And according to recently-discovered FCC filings, the Galaxy S10 lineup will come with latest-generation technology, including support for Wi-Fi 6.
As the latest wireless standard, Wi-Fi 802.11ax will allow the Galaxy S10 to offer faster speeds when connected to the Internet, though there’s one major limitation. As the cited source notes, this is only achievable with a compatible router, so unless you already have the hardware to reach Wi-Fi 6 speeds, all these efforts of the Samsung manufacturer are worth nothing.
However, with Wi-Fi 6 becoming more mainstream, expect such wireless equipment to become more popular, so the Galaxy S10 will be one of the first models to benefit from it.
Reverse wireless charging
Additionally, the device will also sport reverse wireless charging, a feature that we’ve already heard about earlier this year and which would technically allow the Galaxy S10 to charge other devices wirelessly.
At this point, however, it’s not yet clear if all models in the Galaxy S10 lineup will come with these features, as some sources previously indicated that Samsung could keep some exclusive for the more expensive Galaxy S10+ configuration.
All details will be shared by Samsung on February 20 at the Unpacked event, while the new smartphones are projected to go on sale in early March. The 5G version, which will offer faster data speeds on 5G networks, is also expected to go on sale later next month.
