Samsung's Galaxy S10 5G expected to launch in the US on 5 April: Report

The **Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus** will soon cease to be the Korean giant’s flagship smartphone. That’s because the company appears to be finally ready to launch the **Galaxy S10 5G** . According to a report by Yonhap News the handset will be released in the US on 5 April, which is actually before the first consumer 5G networks will be launched in the country.

Even then, it will still be the first commercially available 5G-enabled smartphone, since both the **Mi Mix 3 5G** and the **Huawei Mate X** are expected to arrive only later. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is, as the name would suggest, is a 5G version of the Samsung Galaxy S10, but it has a bigger screen size than any other S10 phones including the Galaxy S10 Plus, a bigger battery, and has an extra 3D depth camera over its smaller siblings. Samsung has hinted that there won’t be any pre-orders this time, but customers purchasing the phone between 5 April and 16 April will get a pair of Galaxy buds free along with a wireless charger and a 50 percent discount on one screen replacement within the first year. It’ll also likely cost a lot more than the other Galaxy S10 phones, although because there aren’t any 5G phones out yet we don’t really know how much 5G compatibility will add to a phone’s price.
