Blass posted a photo on his Twitter in which it is allegedly that of the Samsung Galaxy S10 “Beyond 1”. We’re not sure what the branding of “Beyond 1” is supposed to indicate, but we have heard that one of the models is codenamed BeyondX, so maybe this could be related. As far as the design is concerned, it looks like some of the rumors were right in which Samsung will be using a hole-in display versus the notched design adopted by many other Android OEMs.
It looks like this particular model will have curved edges on the sides of the screen, although we have heard that there could be a more affordable variant that uses a flat display. Also we’re not sure if it is the reflection, but it looks like the sides of the phone appear to be quite shiny which could hint at the use of stainless steel.
That being said, for the most part the Galaxy S10 pictured looks similar to the previous generations, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully Samsung will have official details to share soon.
