Even as Apple battles to revive smartphone sales in key markets, rival Samsung is stepping up its game with the new premium Galaxy S10 series. The latest flagship phones from Samsung bring a completely new screen design, more cameras, and lots of under the hood upgrades.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ also borrow a few elements from other premium smartphones such as Honor View20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. For instance, Galaxy S10 phones have punch-hole camera on the front - Samsung's unique take on the trend of delivering edge-to-edge screens without including notch. Punch-hole cameras, however, are more difficult to hide than the more accepted boatshaped and waterdrop notches.

Another unique feature that Galaxy S10 phones bring is wireless share. The technology allows users to wirelessly charge compatible phones. Huawei offers a similar reverse wireless charging technology on its Mate 20 Pro which is available in India for 69,990. Apple is also rumoured to include a 'bilateral wireless charging' technology on its iPhone 2019, allowing users to charge other devices such as Apple AirPods.

Apart from new design, Samsung's new phones offer high-end specifications including the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and Exynos 9820 processor. The latest chipsets also pave way for 5G compatibility on the new premium smartphones.

Samsung is also increasing the number of camera sensors on its premium phones - a new trend the Korean giant has adopted on its some of its budget and low-end phones. The top-end model features three camera sensors on the back and two selfie cameras.
