Samsung Galaxy S10 in 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.4-inch models, triple rear cameras, in-display fingerprint scanner said to be unveiled at MWC 2019

Apple is widely anticipated to launch three new iPhones later this year including a second-generation 5.8-inch iPhone X, a larger 6.46-inch iPhone X Plus, and a 6.1-inch model with iPhone X like feature. Now in order to compete with Apple, Samsung is also said to be planning on launching 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.4-inch models, according to Ming-Chi Kuo. Furthermore, the 6.1-inch and 6.4-inch models might be equipped with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. It will become available in the Galaxy Note 10 later in 2019, according to the research note. This news comes two weeks after both the companies settled on a seven-year-long lawsuit where Samsung was found guilty of copying the iPhone's design.

Moreover, reports also claim that the Galaxy S10+ will feature five camera lenses: three on the back, and two on the front.  The rear lens will include the same 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and 12-megapixel telephoto lens as the Galaxy S9+, plus an all-new 16-megapixel 120º ultra-wide-angle lens. Apple will also be launching a new iPhone with ...
