Samsung Galaxy S10 release date confirmed by Samsung's own site

null


It seems that Samsung has given in and decided to announce the Galaxy S10 release date ahead of the official launch.
In a state of 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em', the brand has unveiled a pre-order site in the US for 'your next Galaxy Device'.
With the tag line of 'we know you know what's coming soon', along with a big number 10 emblazoned on the top, this site allows you to reserve your unit 
ahead of the big launch. 
The site promises that those who sign up will 'get it first with early access to pre-order' and that the phone will be with users by March 8.

This dovetails with a report from South Korea that this will be the date for launch, so it seems the global S10 release date will be at the same time as Samsung's home turf.
It's key to note here that there's no mention of which model you'll be pre-ordering... we're certain we're going to get a Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10e at the February 20 launch, so presumably the brand will allow you to decide which you want when they're fully unveiled.
Samsung's pre-order site also allows you to trade in your current model to save up to $550 on the cost of the phone - this is a similar scheme to that offered by Apple, but Samsung's also offering a $50 credit towards accessories.
To get the full amount you'll need to part with a pretty new phone, like the iPhone XS, Samsung Galaxy S9 or Google Pixel 3. However, if you're using a Galaxy S8, you can still get $300 off the cost of a new Galaxy S10, which seems like an easy switch for the convenience.
It's interesting that Samsung has gone early and essentially confirmed all the administrative elements around the phone - it'll be interesting to see if the price is a little higher than before, as pre-reserving might convince more people to carry on with the purchase anyway.

Our Verdict:

The Samsung Galaxy S9's party piece is a seriously impressive camera, but there's much more than a passing resemblance to the Galaxy S8 which is now considerably cheaper. It may make the S9 slightly harder to justify, but it's still set to be an excellent smartphone.
 FOR
  • Impressive camera
  • Better-placed fingerprint sensor
 AGAINST
  • Not all that different to S8
  • AR Emoji a little limited

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
