They’ve also introduced Wireless PowerShare on the Galaxy S10, making it possible to charge Qi-certified smartphones and compatible wearable devices from your phone.
The Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e will land officially in stores and at people’s doors who have preordered online, beginning 8 March, 2019.
Elsewhere, unveiled the highly anticipated Galaxy Fold, a new foldable device was shown and will create a new mobile category.
When folded, the Galaxy Fold measures 4.6 inches, and it opens up to a 7.3-inch display tablet, and in the tablet mode, the device can handle up to three windows at the same time for multitasking.
The Galaxy Fold is equipped with a high-powered, next-generation AP chipset and 12GB of RAM with PC-like performance and it’s also capable of charging itself and a second device simultaneously via Wireless PowerShare.
The phone contains six cameras – three on the back, two on the inside and one on the front – to ensure it can take photos however it is held.
At Samsung Unpacked, the company also revealed a trio of wearable devices in the form of a smartwatch, fitness band and wireless headphones.
The Galaxy Watch Active and the Galaxy Fit are also being added to the lineup. Both devices are water-resistant for swimming, and they can also track your heart rate and sleep.
Finally, Samsung officially debuted its new Galaxy Buds alongside the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. The Buds can be charged on the back of the company’s new phones via the included case and the PowerShare feature.
You can also trade in your old phone and use the smart switch app if you want to move to Samsung.
