We now have the first real image of the upcoming Galaxy S10+ . It was, of course, leaked by an employee, as the device matches all the characteristics of one of the company's prototypes used for internal testing before the official launch.
The Galaxy S10+ has two front cameras
It's something we already knew, and thanks to this image, we can confirm it again. The Galaxy S10+ won't just be the model with the largest screen size, but it will also be the model with a dual front camera . Both lenses will peek through the Infinity-O Display , which will feature a hole-punch cutout for both cameras.
A prototype belonging to a worker
In a Reddit thread , a commenter claiming to be a Samsung employee (or at least claiming to own an identical phone to the one in the photo) provides several details that suggest the phone is a Samsung prototype , and that the person using it is an employee who travels on one of the buses on the Suwon campus. First, the phone is wearing a special protective case designed to conceal details and avoid identification. The case has a protective front cover, although in the image it's folded down on the left side (the normal position when using the phone).

He also talks about the fact that the person carrying the phone would have removed a layer of software that is responsible for placing a fixed watermark on the screen to identify the employee and the ID of the terminal, something essential when it comes to recognizing the culprit of this type of leaks, so the scene could be set with the intention of leaking details.
First impressions of the Galaxy S10+
Thanks to comments from this alleged employee on Reddit, we can also learn some details about the new Galaxy S10+ , as he's sharing his impressions with users. Some of the details to highlight are:
- It is lighter than the Note 9 while maintaining almost the same dimensions.
- The camera hole is not noticeable when working with the terminal (although it has not played or seen too many videos).
- The OneUI interface is very polished and runs very fast.
- Your unit does not appear to have an iris reader. We'll see if it's a final decision or a prototype thing. The face unlock option works very fast (without knowing exactly the method you use).
- The on-screen fingerprint reader has a sensitivity adjustment to adjust the reading in case of using screen protectors.
- It is difficult to hit the fingerprint reader area without receiving indications of its position.
