Samsung introduced some new versions of the Galaxy S series in early 2019. Among those versions, the Galaxy S10 is considered the standard version as it has the right balance of features, usability, and price point.
The S10 features a large 6.1-inch display with Quad HD+ resolution but the size is still manageable thanks to the Infinity-O design with almost no bezels. Some other important features of the S10 include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, up to 512GB of internal storage, 8GB of RAM, Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, Wi-Fi 6, and Wireless PowerShare. The camera setup of the S10 is quite impressive with an ultra-wide 16MP camera with a 123-degree field of view, a wide-angle 12MP camera, and a telephoto 12MP camera. They are capable of capturing 4K video in HDR10+.
The Galaxy S10 is powered by either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or Samsung Exynos 9 Series 9820, depending on your country/region. You will need to check the model number to know the processor and network connectivity. The model numbers of Galaxy S10 start with SM-G973 and the latter characters vary depending on the color, storage option, and market. They will have different processors and cellular bands, so you should check carefully before buying a new phone.

Hi!
My S10 model is SM-G973F/DS (Dual-SIM Unlocked) – Asia (India and Singapore). Does it mean it will not work with European sim-card??

Slava B says

Shilpa says
Hi! Is this model dual/hybrid sim or single sim on S10? G973FZWDXSP
User says
Now which one with Snapdragon version would you choose ?
For :
– Usa
– Eu
– Eu and Usa
I see that U version doesnt have dual Sim and 9730 has dual sim but – is it really true
U1 also doesnt have bloatware but is 9730 also ?
See also 9738
I do not know what frequencies are more important – as you know the greater amount of that frequencies does not necessarily mean better when there is lack of that more important one
