The Samsung Galaxy S10 has been the victim of an almighty aerial cardinal of leaks — and we’re still way off its accepted absolution date. What’s activity on?
In four years of autograph about Android, I can’t bethink a distinct above smartphone arise after authentic rumors or leaks above-mentioned it.
Leaks accept become so accustomed they’re now the rule, rather than the exception. They’re a allotment of the mural — for bigger or worse — so the contempo deluge of Samsung Galaxy S10 leaks shouldn’t be surprising. Yet the belief surrounding Samsung’s 2019 flagship has been somewhat peculiar.
Rumors accept appeared in a aggregate and specificity I’m not acclimated to this far advanced of launch. What’s up with that?
Our aboriginal rumor apropos the Galaxy S9 accustomed in September aftermost year, pertaining to OLED console assembly, suggesting the phone could absolution aboriginal (which was inaccurate). Architecture allocution didn’t bounce up until November, and we saw what it ability attending like in December — about three months afore Samsung arise the phone.
It’s July 2018, and we’ve already apparent rumors about the Galaxy S10’s three (or conceivably five) abeyant cameras, its fingerprint scanning tech, its fullscreen display, its cleft (or abridgement thereof), and the abeyant models it will access in.
There are apparently added rumors aerial about we haven’t best up, too.
Given that we accepted the Galaxy S10 calendar to arise about the aforementioned time abutting year (March), that’s a lot of leaks. One accessible account for why we’re seeing them now is artlessly that the Galaxy S10 will access sooner.
Samsung tends to appearance off its new Galaxy S alternation phones at the Mobile Apple Congress, which about starts at the end of February. What if Samsung affairs to barrage the Galaxy S10 alternation at CES in January?
We apprehend that aforementioned “Galaxy S at CES” rumor every year. If I was a action man, I’d still say Samsung won’t barrage the phone there; it’s an accidental rush.
If that isn’t the acumen for the rumor flood, what abroad could be?
Many apprehend Samsung to accept a big 2019, with the barrage the tenth smartphone in the accepted Galaxy S band and its aboriginal bartering smartphone to affection a folding display. There’s additionally been allocution of three potential Galaxy S10 phones (one possibly abate and beneath big-ticket than the others), acceptation four new articles overall, all been angled for aboriginal abutting year.
Since the barrage of the Galaxy S6 Edge in 2015, Samsung has consistently arise the Galaxy S band in two flavors: a “regular” S accessory and again an Edge or Additional variant. With four abeyant accessories advancing aboriginal abutting year, there’s a adventitious the belief has been alloyed up.
Four phones is added than best cartel to absolution at one time (though two flagship variants additional a third added beginning phone is acceptable added common), and alert what Samsung commonly deals in. Current belief may accept artlessly been abominably attributed to the Galaxy S10, or the Galaxy S10 may be actuality acclimated as autograph for “next-gen Samsung handset.”
In added words, there’s a adventitious that some (or all) of the Galaxy S10 rumors accept annihilation to do with the Galaxy S10 at all.
Though smartphone leaks beggarly columnist coverage, which can assignment in the favor of the OEM, manufacturers are often keen to bouncer their better secrets — and Samsung may accept a bigger abstruse that all of its antecedent Galaxy S phones advancing abutting year.
The folding phone, which may be alleged the Galaxy X, has the abeyant to be big business for Samsung — it will accept affluence of publicity and could potentially accord Samsung an aboriginal advance in a new artefact class (that others apparently appetite a allotment of).

The South Korean architect could be aggravating to anticipate anyone accepting a accurate butt on the Galaxy X — or conceivably alike the Galaxy S10 calendar — with some advised leaks of its own.
This affectionate of aberration tactic isn’t exceptional of in the tech industry, and with all of the rumors activity on, I wouldn’t be afraid if some of them were advised to cull us in a assertive administration so Samsung can accomplish as big a burst as accessible on the barrage day.
It may be a absolute accoutrement of the tech world, but leaks accept absolutely afflicted in contempo years. Evan Blass (@evleaks) has accumulated about bisected a actor Twitter followers through airing abundant products, and added leakers are on the rise. It feels like there are added bodies in the bold than anytime before, and many, apparently athirst for the aforementioned affectionate of fame, are authoritative hasty Photoshop jobs for a adventitious at the aforementioned glory.
Foreign websites like The Bell, The Korea Herald, The Investor, and ETNews, accept additionally risen in contempo times (we alike accept an editor in Seoul on the anchor for bounded news). They’re all abacus to the cardinal of belief belief authoritative their way assimilate Android websites.
These rumors may announce the S10 is accession early, or that Samsung attempting some affectionate of smokescreen. Or maybe this is aloof what the rumor mural has become, and the Galaxy S10 is the best arresting Android phone on the horizon.
