In Galaxy S10, users would not have to worry about looking looking at their phone screens direct sunlight. Verified by DisplayMate, user can enjoy the world's most accurate colors on a mobile device. The AMOLED display also reduces blue light without compromising the picture quality. 

Infinity-O Display

Looking like a "punch-hole" in its upper right side, the Infinity-O Display houses an array of sensors and camera technology into a hole-in display to maximize the screen real estate without any distractions. 

The new upgrade is an evolution of the Infinity Display introduced in 2017 for the Galaxy S8. 

Embedded Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner

Another first-ever, the Embedded Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner reads the 3D contours of the users' physical thumbprint. It's FIDO Alliance Biometric Component Certification grants users a vault-like security to their devices to improve anti-spoofing.

A first for the S Series, the ultra-wide lens has a 123-degree field of view, allowing viewers to see what is in the frame just like in the human eye. This new addition makes landscape shots impressive and panoramas perfect. It can even fit the entire extended family into the photo frame without taking any step back.
