Galaxy S10 release date and price

It's too soon to predict the exact release date for the Galaxy S10, but if history is any guide, Samsung will likely stick to a similar timetable in 2019 as in other years. That means you should expect to see the new handset announced at next year's Mobile World Congress show, which gets underway Feb. 25. If Samsung follows a similar pattern for the S10 as did for the S9, the new phone would hit shelves by the middle of March 2019.

Then again, Samsung could preempt Mobile World Congress with an event of its own roughly a week before the festivities kick off. According to Gizmodo UK, that could be as soon as Feb. 20, with preorders going live instantly, before the device hits stores on March 8.

The entry-level 5.8-inch S10 Lite will reportedly start at £669 based on information Gizmodo UK says it received from a "source at a major tech retailer." It would then be followed by the 6.1-inch S10 at £799 and the range-topping, 6.4-inch S10 Plus at £899. All three models will come with at least 128GB of storage, the article reads, though the highest capacity S10 Plus will offer 1TB of storage for a whopping £1399.

The S10 and its larger sibling, the Galaxy Note 10, likely won't be the only premium phones Samsung introduces next year. At its developer conference in November, Samsung finally unveiled the foldable phone it's been working on for so long, nicknamed by insiders as the Galaxy F. While the Galaxy F was shown briefly, in a boxy case and under very protective lighting, many expect the final product to debut sometime in 2019.
