What year was the Samsung Galaxy S10 released?

The Samsung Galaxy S10 was released in 2019. Samsung unveiled the phone at its Galaxy Unpacked event on February 20, 2019, and the standard Galaxy S10 began shipping in major markets on March 8, 2019.

The S10 marked the tenth-generation anniversary of Samsung’s Galaxy S flagship line. It launched alongside the Galaxy S10e and Galaxy S10+, while Samsung later introduced the Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy S10 Lite as related variants. The main S10 featured a curved AMOLED display, an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and a punch-hole front camera.

A frequent source of confusion is the difference between announcement and release dates: February 2019 was the unveiling, while March 2019 was the retail launch for the main models. The Galaxy S10 series succeeded the Galaxy S9 family and was followed by the Galaxy S20 range in 2020. The S10 also retained features some later flagships dropped, including a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage.
