Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Pricing For European Markets Revealed
The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G was unveiled by the Korean tech giant alongside its sibling Galaxy S10 series of flagship smartphones in the month of February 2019. However, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10e and Galaxy S10+, the 5G capable variant was not available for purchase with the aforementioned trio. This version went on sale in South Korea much later in April 2019, and soon after went on sale in the UK and the US. According to a new report, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will also be launched in Europe shortly, carrying a price tag of EUR 1,249 (around Rs. 97,000).

The device has two cameras on the front, which are comprised of a 10MP f/1.9 sensor and a secondary TOF sensor to assist with background blur in photos and videos.
The Galaxy S10 5G runs on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which is manufactured using the 7nm fabrication process. It has an Octa-core CPU and Adreno 640 GPU.

Samsung with the Galaxy S10 5G’s introduction in the European market will ensure its place as one of the first OEMs to be prepared for the 5G wave. The higher bandwidth of networking is not new to the continent, but widespread implementation is still lacking. Hence, the smartphone manufacturer will be ready as the demand grows and the network matures into mainstream levels of consumption.
