Samsung Electronics will renew its range of high-end cell phones next year and is preparing to launch its first smartphone with features 5G, a consumer model cheaper and a device with folding screen to challenge Apple and ahead of its Chinese competitors, the media reported. So much of the subject.

The company based in Suwon, South Korea, is negotiating with Verizon Communications to launch its Galaxy S10 in the United States with a fifth-generation mobile phone chipset, said the population, who requested anonymity because the products are still in development.

The goal is to get the support of the largest US operator in the US to popularize this technology, designed to transfer data dozens of times faster than currently used fourth-generation networks.

Samsung has placed a fingerprint sensor under the screen of its S10, which has overcome years of complications for mass production of such devices, the sources said. The world's largest maker of mobile phones will release three versions of its flagship model, including one more accessible to attract as many consumers as possible, they added.

Although Samsung already offers a cheaper range of "A" models, this measure implies that the company shares Apple's concerns with Chinese competitors such as Huawei Technologies and Oppo, who continue to win customers by offering them high-end models at lower prices. In addition, Samsung is keen to complete the development of a flexible device that, as expected, will allow it to dominate a niche market with growth potential.

"If one wonders how Samsung can differentiate and compete in this market, it's with the hardware," said Cliff Maldonado, an analyst at BayStreet Research in San Francisco. "That 's his strong point, and the idea with his foldable phone is to position himself and install the brand.

Standard S10, codenamed "Beyond", is supplied with a curved OLED display on both sides, rounded corners and almost zero crimp at the top and bottom. It will be approximately the same size as the current S9 model, 5.8 inches.

The S10 has three cameras on the back and a front camera visible and placed under the screen, they added. Samsung also plans to launch a "bigger" version next year.

The cheaper version of the S10 is without a double-curved "edge" display, a trademark of all Samsung premium phones since the launch of the Galaxy Note Edge in 2014 and could also come without a fingerprint sensor under the 39; screen according to costs, people said.

Samsung is also testing an S10 prototype without a headphone jack, which indicates that it could mimic Apple and make its devices totally wireless. The S10 will come with Google's Android Pie operating system preinstalled, sources said.

"Our smartphone portfolio is constantly evolving to bring new and exciting innovations and experiences to our customers, and for the moment we have nothing to share about future devices, please stay tuned," said Samsung. in a statement.
