It’s out. The Galaxy S10 is out. Actually, there are three Galaxy S10 phones: the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+. The Android community has three options that aren’t exactly hard to tell apart. We’ve shown you our hands-on photos and hands-on video by our friends from SlashGear. By now, you’ve probably decided what to buy. Others may have already decided NOT to buy mainly because of the price but maybe, just maybe, some deals from mobile carriers will change your mind.
