Things picked up a bit in the smartphone market in 2018 and we finally started to see some exciting new designs emerge after a horribly boring year in 2017. This year, however, things are getting turbocharged. We’re going to see new smartphones launch with all sorts of creative designs, from phones with screens that fold on one or even two hinges, to all-screen designs that find creative new ways to remove the selfie camera from the phone’s top bezel. Smaller Chinese smartphone makers are really getting creative with their designs, and we’ll continue to monitor the different ways they manage to inch closer to the true all-screen phone of our dreams. But the solution of choice in 2019 among bigger companies with phones that will be widely distributed is the hole-punch design that involves cutting holes through the displays themselves for selfie cameras.
It’s a novel approach that is definitely going to turn some heads in 2019. Is it really any better than a notch? No, no it’s not. But it’s nifty and new, and it’s the design we’ll see most often this year. There have already been a phone new phones that show off the new hole-punch design, but Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series will be the most popular phone series to feature this design in the first half of 2019. And now, a new leak gives us our best look yet at how the two main Galaxy S10 phones — the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ — will compare.
