The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G gives us a glimpse of the future. It may not be a game-changing design like the iPhone XS or, indeed, Samsung’s own foldable phone, but what’s on the inside of the supersized S10 5G should have you excited.
While it was announced alongside the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10e, the Galaxy S10 5G won’t be available in early March with its siblings; instead you’ll have to wait for mobile providers to put their 5G networks live in your region.
Considering the Galaxy S10 Plus starts at $999 / £899 (about AU$1,398) for the 8GB/128GB variant, the S10 5G will almost certainly go for more given its bigger screen, double the storage, four rear cameras and 5G support.
