We"re now just a week away from Galaxy Unpacked, the event where Samsung will unveil its next generation of Galaxy S handsets. If you already know that you want one though, you can reserve one today. The company has posted the reservation listing that says, "We know you know what is coming soon."
Reserving the device does come with some benefits, such as a $50 credit toward accessories. You"ll also have the opportunity to trade in an eligible device for a credit of $550. As far as trade-in values go, an iPhone 8 or better will get you the full $550, although older iPhones like the 5s will only get you $50. A Google Pixel 3, LG V40, Samsung Galaxy S9, or Note9 are also devices that will get you the full $550.
Interestingly, the reservation listing also promises delivery of the Galaxy S10 by March 8. Those that reserve will also be promised to get it first, since it comes with early access to the pre-order.
Samsung"s Galaxy S10 will be among the first to use Qualcomm"s new Snapdragon 855 chipset, so it"s going to have a bunch of new features that are enabled by it. You"ll be able to shoot videos in HDR10+, and there will also be support for portrait mode video capture, which will even work at 4K 60fps. You can also expect the handset to have Qualcomm"s ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which will be able to detect your fingerprint even if your hands are dirty or wet.
