After months of rumors, the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10E are finally official. The trio of phones have a new look, thanks to the Infinity-O display, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and up to three rear-facing cameras. The three devices span from a 5.8-inch display all the way to a 6.4-inch display, and for a limited time, all preorders come with a free pair of Galaxy Buds — Samsung’s answer to Apple’s AirPods ($159 at B&H Photo-Video).
Thankfully, we don’t have to wait too long to get one of the S10 models in our hands. Here’s what you need to know about preordering Samsung’s wares.
