The S10 5G has a massive 6.7 in screen.
With a fourth camera on the back, inside is a 4500 MAh battery.
Ugly you cannot expand the storage on the 5G version.
It's first landing at Verizon in the second quarter, then it'll make it's way to the other carriers.
The rest of the line up it's what we;ve seen late.
There's the S10E, the S10 and the S10 plus.
Iris scanning is gone, you'll have to rely on the fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
As for everything else, lets just put up the spec sheet.
Pause this part if you want to read all of the things.
You know what was amazing?
Samsung showed off the galaxy fold, first thing.
It looked really slick in tablet mode.
When open, you get a 7.3 inches screen and a 4.2 by 3 aspect ratio So it's kind of on the square side.
There's a big cutout for its two forward facing cameras on the right.
When it's closed, the Fold has a 4.6 inch display with one camera on the front.
On the back are the three rear cameras.
Inside, you'll find 12 gigabytes of RAM, and 512 gigs of space.
The craziest thing of all is that Samsung actually announced a date when you can buy this.
April 26th and it will cost just $1980 dollars.
The rest of Samsung's announcements didn't really have much to do with Android, so check out Cnet if you are interested.

Rudy says, just and idea but you don't think Samsung is allowing all these leaks out on purpose?
Maybe to keep the focus off something more innovating?
Well, it's working.
Super User thinks, Samsung is leaking this stuff to generate hype Blazing Jaws says, Samsung needs a diaper!
Folks, I think you're all correct.
Sometimes I think these leaks are to manage expectations.
