MWC 2019 takes place this week but if we’re being completely honest, we already know that nothing announced at the world’s biggest mobile trade conference will end up being as popular as the phones Samsung unveiled last week. The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10 5G are basically the complete opposite of last year’s Galaxy S9 lineup, and that’s a very good thing. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ were painfully boring smartphones, and Samsung’s sales plummeted as a result. The phones features the same design used on the Galaxy S8 series a year earlier, and they brought no exciting new features at all to the table. They’re believed to be Samsung’s worst-selling Galaxy S phones since all the way back in 2012, and it’s pretty easy to see why.

This year’s Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10 5G on the other hand are exciting from start to finish. They sport sleek new all-screen designs with hole-punch cameras that are all the rage right now, and they’re packed full of new features like an in-display fingerprint sensor, triple-lens rear cameras, Wireless PowerShare, and plenty more. But there was another phone that Samsung showed off last week that might have tech fans buzzing even more, and now a new video posted by Samsung over the weekend gives us our closest look yet.
