The Galaxy S10 lineup's batteries might be smaller than first expected
Samsung Galaxy S10+ concept render based on leak information
The Galaxy S10+ could match the Galaxy Note 9's capacity
Interestingly, this size coincides with initial rumors and, while it may be slightly smaller, it should still provide stellar battery performance when paired with the 6.4-inch AMOLED display found on the device. After all, the Galaxy S10+ is set to ship with Qualcomm’s efficient Snapdragon 855 in the US, while international markets will gain access to Samsung’s own Exynos 9820, itself also much more efficient than the chipsets found inside the Galaxy S9 series.
Samsung’s largest 4G LTE-ready flagship is also rumored to include a whopping five cameras, a detail that recently-leaked live images have corroborated. This will include an impressive triple-camera setup on the rear and an extra two sensor contained within the display hole up front. If rumors are to be believed, the latter will include a regular camera and secondary Time-of-Flight sensor which should provide facial recognition.
Galaxy S10 & Galaxy S9 battery life should be comparable
Moving on to the regular Galaxy S10, this smartphone should include a 6.1-inch AMOLED panel. Recent leaks suggested this display was going to be paired with a respectable 3,500mAh cell. According to today’s updated listings though, the Galaxy S10 will actually include a 3,300mAh battery that goes by the number EB-BG973ABU.
The smartphone will, however, lose its time-of-flight front camera leaving just a selfie sensor and a smaller display hole.

The Galaxy S10E could still be a battery life champ
As many of you will know by now, completing the Galaxy S10 series will be the budget Galaxy S10E. Previous leaks have pointed towards the presence of a 3,100mAh battery inside the device but, once again, today’s certification listing suggests that they were wrong. In fact, if the number is correct, Samsung’s smallest flagship will include a slightly smaller 3,000mAh pack.
Much like the Galaxy S10+, this should still provide impressive battery life statistics. After all, it’ll include the same processor as the other devices but a much smaller 5.8-inch flat AMOLED display. The device will have fewer cameras to power too because it’s set to lose the telephoto one on the rear, leaving a modest yet impressive dual-camera setup in its place.
Less than a month to go till the announcement
As confirmed by Samsung itself, the Galaxy S10 series will go official on February 20th at an event in San Francisco. Here, the flagships are set to be joined by the company’s first foldable phone, the Galaxy Watch Active, two fitness trackers and a pair of wireless earbuds.
Pre-orders for Galaxy S10 devices should start immediately after the event while the actual release should happen on March 8 or sometime around this date. The Galaxy S10E should cost around $650, the Galaxy S10 may start at $850, while the larger Galaxy S10+ could be priced at $950.
