While there’s little left to discover about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 flagships, what has so far been left unconfirmed was the official name of the ‘lite’ variant of the Galaxy S10. Most presumed the entry-variant will be named Galaxy S10 Lite while some thought Galaxy S10e. Turns out, it is indeed the latter as confirmed by a listing on the company’s French website. A landing page on Samsung’s official website for France has the names of the upcoming phones listed with their official names. There is the regular Samsung Galaxy S10 along with the Galaxy S10+. More importantly, we learned the third variant will be named Galaxy S10e.
The Galaxy S10e is speculated to be the most inferior of the three. The landing page also specifically showcases the base variant. By the looks of it, the Galaxy S10e will tout a side-mounted fingerprint sensor like the Samsung Galaxy A7, even when the other models are supposed to come with ultra-sonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
While the landing page reveals the name of the three models of the Galaxy S10, curiously missing is the 5G variant of the Galaxy S10 that is rumoured to come with 1TB of storage and 12GB of RAM.
The Galaxy S10 phones are expected to sport Infinity-O displays on the front. On the back, the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ are slated to come with a triple rear camera setup, while the Galaxy S10e is rumoured to come with a dual-camera setup. Leaked specs revealed it will be a wide-angle + telephoto + ultra-wide-angle setup on the Galaxy S10 and the S10+.
Samsung is also rumoured to launch the much-anticipated Galaxy F, the company’s foldable phone that has been under development for years. The phones are set to launch at a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 20th in San Francisco, California.
