It will come with three models: one with a 5.8-inch screen, one with a 6.1-inch screen, and one with a 6.4-inch screen.
One key feature Samsung will promote next year is a "fingerprint on display," or "FOD," reader, meaning users will be able to scan their finger by placing it on the screen.
According to the Sunday report seen by Business Insider, the two larger, higher-end Galaxy S10 models will have the "ultrasonic FOD" feature, while the smaller Galaxy S10 will have the fingerprint sensor on the side of the device.
The Galaxy S9 has a fingerprint reader on the back. Apple has opted to remove the fingerprint reader from its iPhones — this year it's expected to release three new iPhones, each without a fingerprint sensor. And people with the iPhone X instead use Apple's proprietary Face ID camera to unlock their phone.
Samsung will "aggressively" promote the on-screen fingerprint scanning — after all, it's one feature Apple's not planning to match. The fingerprint-on-display part is expected to be used on Samsung's high-end "A series" phones and the Note 10, which will probably launch in fall 2019 and could have a 3D-sensing camera as well. The ultrasonic FOD part is made by GIS and O-film and based on a Qualcomm design and software, according to the report.
