The Galaxy S is one of the most premium smartphones the industry has seen, and every other year welcomes a new entrant to the throne of the flagship series. This year, 2019, we are hailing the tenth anniversary Galaxy S10.
We are yet to see how much competition the S10 will face, given the improved key features that its four variants possess, but we can testify on what better or worse the device has beyond last year’s Galaxy S9.
The S9 did things in half – mimicking the S8 on one side, while bringing in a little surprises on the other; yet the S10 is no joke. It is sweeping clean much of what we were used to, revealing a new flagship look to the Korean brand.
Given that we have a number of variants available, we shall compare them with respect to their rank in flagship.
