So let’s start by wishing the Samsung Galaxy franchise a happy 10th anniversary. However, look at how they celebrate. They do so by introducing the Samsung Galaxy S10.
The size doesn’t change much. This one is 6.4 inches, not that different from old Samsung Galaxys. But here is a huge difference: under display fingerprint technology. They say this is even more secure that facial recognition. Because this uses Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor to check your unique pores of your fingertip. Then, it scans and matches it. But from what I hear, it is a royal pain to get this set up. Some smartphones abandon jacks. The Samsung Galaxy S10 has ports and jacks a-plenty.
This device has Gorilla Glass 6. This will help you gain access to wireless charging. It’s the Wireless PoweShare. Turn your phone down, place another phone on top of it, and the top phone will trickle it’s power down to yours. IT service critics rave about the camera, which takes all kinds of crazy angles, and it’s three-camera array. I saw a cool slide of the wings of a plane landing with this. But perhaps the most awesome thing is the price…and not in a good way. This phone will cost you $1,000. If you start talking about foldable phones, then you’re looking at $1,900.
Personally, I wouldn’t even bother with the Samsung Galaxy S10. There, I said it. Yes, I know Apple’s iPhone X cost that much. But at least they did something revolutionary. So people wanted to pay that much because they thought they were on the verge of computer tech history. You don’t see that with this Samsung. And I’m not liking this fingertip technology. It’s too much work to set up. Then, what if it doesn’t work? And yes, sucking energy from one device to the next may seem cool. But just give me the plug-in charger, thank you very much. I’m not buying this new Samsung. Are you?
