Like every year, Samsung launched its flagship smartphone, three variants of S-series. Such launch events seem to be regular and boring, nothing noticeable innovations or anything else. However, this time something is different, it is the 10th anniversary of the Galaxy S series. As expected, we got something huge this time, Galaxy S10+, along with regular Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10e.
Galaxy S10 and S10+ Overview

On both side there is glass, stuck together with Aluminum frame, the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protects the screen and the back.
On the top right corner, there is a cut where dual selfie camera is stuck in, which seems better than a notch on the middle, but still, I hate it. Besides that hole, the screen is clean and beautiful. Similarly, underneath the beautiful display, there lies the fingerprint sensor. The next-gen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner scans a 3D print of your finger, whereas the optical fingerprint scanner scans only 2D.
