With just a month before Samsung unveils its new smartphones, the rumor spotlight is on an ultra-powerful and feature-packed 'Galaxy S10 X' 5G model
- With just over a month before Samsung unveils its new smartphones, more rumors are swirling over its anticipated new top-of-the-line phone, expected to be called the Galaxy "S10X".
- Several new rumors specific to the Galaxy S10X come from Korean news site ET News.
- Samsung is unveiling its new devices at its Unpacked event on February 20.
The highest of the high-end models of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 phones is said to be called the Galaxy S10X, and it'll be an absolute brute of a smartphone.
That's if the rumors are true.
The latest set of rumors about Samsung's behemoth Galaxy S10X comes from Korean news site ET News, which is sharing information gathered from "mobile service companies" that have received the Galaxy S10X specifications.
We'll hear all about the Galaxy S10X, if it exists, at Samsung's Unpacked event on February 20.
Check out what Samsung potentially has in store for us with the Galaxy S10X:
The Galaxy S10X will have a huge 6.7-inch display.
For comparison, the big Galaxy Note 9 "phablet" has a 6.4-inch display.
It'll be the first phone in the US to support new 5G networks.
It's an exciting time when a new wireless standard starts to roll out that promises faster speeds and better performance overall compared to the old standard. With 5G, many of us in the US might need to wait for 5G to come to our locations, but at least it's coming.
The lack of availability of 5G networks across the country isn't apparently stopping Samsung from releasing a smartphone that can actually use the wireless standard, even if most in the US won't be able to connect to a 5G network.
One thing to note: a lot of AT&T customers might see the 5G symbol on a new Galaxy S10X, and for those who live in areas where AT&T has rolled out 5G, that symbol would be accurate. However, AT&T has renamed one of its 4G LTE networks to "5G E," which isn't the same thing as true 5G.
The Galaxy S10X will have six cameras total.
ET News' sources say the Galaxy S10X will have four cameras on the rear of the phone and two on the front. It's not clear what each lens does.
