Rumors surrounding the Galaxy S10 continue to surface online, and while we already had information about the hole-punch display that Samsung's next flagship will feature, today we've learned that it won't have one, but two holes to house two front-facing cameras. This is what we can see in images shared by Ben Geskin and Universelce , which show renders of the supposed device and a protective glass that appears to have been designed to fit the front of the future phone.
Dual front camera for the Samsung Galaxy S10+
The renders reveal that the larger version of the Galaxy S10, the Galaxy S10+ , will feature a dual front-facing camera module, as it's the only model with a dual punch-hole cutout at the top of the screen . We don't yet know if this dual camera will allow for photos with a better bokeh effect or if it will also enable wide-angle shots thanks to a second lens, but what does seem to be confirmed is that only the Galaxy S10+ will have this hardware.
Looking at the images, it seems that the smallest model, the Galaxy S10, will only offer a single hole in the screen, so the special function would only be intended for its older brother. The images have also served to give us an idea of ​​the bezels that the terminal will maintain, something that improves on the upper edge thanks to the integration of the camera on the screen, but that seems to maintain dimensions in the lower bezel.
Convinced that the notch is not the solution
Everything suggests that Samsung will continue to demonstrate with the new Galaxy S10 that using a notch isn't the best solution for achieving a futuristic design with an edge-to-edge display. It remains to be seen how those two cameras will look occupying screen space, so we won't be able to draw any conclusions until we have a unit in our hands.
At first glance, it seems that the solution is not very intrusive and could go unnoticed in a matter of days, although surely there will be users who don't like it and cry out against Samsung. Other manufacturers are also experimenting with similar solutions, so if you don't like it, we are very afraid that 2019 is going to be the year of the screens with holes.
