We are less than a month away from Samsung’s ‘Unpacked’ event where the company will unveil the the Galaxy S10 lineup. In the run-up to the event, a slew of leaks have confirmed as well as brought to fore some more information regarding the features that the flagship phone is reported to have. The leaks somewhat confirms the reverse charging feature in all the models of the lineup, flaunt the punch-hole display and show a Samsung cryptocurrency wallet.
The first leak comes from Twitter where a user @GregiPfister89 has shared a couple of images showing a Samsung cryptocurrency wallet. Called the Samsung Blockchain KeyStore, the wallet only show support for Ethereum, an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform. It is expected at the launch, Samsung may announce the support for other popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
The second leak comes from a German website that shows the regular Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus phones in full glory. AllAboutSamsung has leaked a set of images with the above mentioned phones kept side by side. The phones are seen running the OneUI, which is based on the Android Pie 9.0. Both the devices are seen having the Infinity-O displays with the Galaxy S10 having one front camera and the Galaxy S10 Plus having two of them.
The image also gives a hint on at least one colour option of each of the phones. The Galaxy S10 is expected to have black colour option and the larger model may be offered in a Silver/Grey hue. Both the phones are seen having three cameras with a flash on the back, and are aligned in a horizontal module that looks similar to the one we have seen in previous flagship offerings. The images also show the phone having a Type-C charging port, speaker grille and a 3.5mm port.
The third leak comes from Dutch website Techtastic that has posted an image of a controller, claiming that it will be used during the Galaxy S10 presentation. The controller shows five buttons, one of which has a logo of battery and apparently denotes the reverse charging feature. Reportedly called Powershare, the feature may work like the one on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Users can charge another device with Qi support by placing it on the back of the phone. All models are expected to have this feature.
Samsung is expected to launch four Galaxy S10 models. Three of the four models are reported to launch on February 20, and the fourth model, which is said to be the 5G model, is expected to launch at a later date. It has also been reported that Samsung may also unveil the foldable phone at the event.
