Both the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ reportedly support wireless charging. Therefore, you can wirelessly charge the handset without having to worry about the charging brick or cable.

Perhaps the biggest attraction of the Samsung Galaxy UNPACKED event has to be the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which could mark Samsung's debut in the foldable smartphone segment. Samsung had intially showcased the foldable phone concept at its annual developers conference last year.

Samsung Galaxy Buds wireless earbuds will reportedly feature fast wireless charging (9W) and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Samsung is also expected to bundle a pair of free Galaxy Buds with the Galaxy S10 for early-bird pre-orders.

Samsung's much-rumoured Galaxy Watch Active is expected to succeed the Gear Sport, and it will reportedly run One UI. According to leaked renders, it will bring in new watch faces and fitness tracking features. Other expected features include support for auto continuous heart-rate monitoring and new exercise forms.

According to a leaked video, one of the most obvious differences come in the form of screen size. It shows Samsung Galaxy S10+ has a bigger 6.4-inch screen whereas the S10, on the other hand, you get a 6.1-inch display. Therefore, you will end up paying some extra money for the Samsung Galaxy S10+.

Both the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ are expected to feature punch-hole selfie camera embedded inside the display. According to a leaked hands-on video, Samsung Galaxy S10 features a single front-facing camera for selfies and video calls whereas the Galaxy S10+ has two selfie camera sensors that go behind the screen.

Samsung has reportedly done away with dual camera rear cameras and instead opted for a triple-rear camera system. Both the Galaxy S10 and S10+ feature triple-camera unit on the rear, making enough room for a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and an ultra-wide sensor.

Much like last year's, Samsung seems to have retained a 3.5mm headphone jack on the Galaxy S10 and S10+. Therefore, customers purchasing these phones may not need to worry about extra dongles or wireless headphones. They could simply connect their wired headphones to a 3.5mm audio jack.
