With two weeks to go until Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S10, the leaked photos are coming at a torrential pace. And, though we won't know whether they're authentic until the company officially debuts the phone at its Feb. 20 Unpacked event in San Francisco, the new images look credible.

But they don't contain many surprises. In the handful of new photos shown below, we see what looks like the standard-size Galaxy S10 and the larger Galaxy S10 Plus. The photos show phones with very slim bezels, a front-facing "Infinity-O" hole punch camera and, on the larger phone, an elongated pill-shaped cutout that accommodates two lenses.

We are now squarely in that period for the Galaxy S10. Here a handful of images that have appeared online over the past few hours:
