    Not all the colors are super bright. We quite like the reflective appearance of these "Prism" shades. They're all called Prism Blue, Prism Black, Prism White, Prism Green). They kinda remind us of the gradient effect Huawei made popular with the P20 Pro in 2018.

    The S10 Plus is available in all the Prism shades, as well as Flamingo Pink. Memory configurations are 8GB RAM with 128GB of storage or 8GB RAM with 512GB of storage. There's also a 12GB RAM with 1TB storage option.

    And here's how the S10e is different

    The $749 S10e is a lot like the S10 as well, but with some key differences. It has a dual camera on the rear rather than a triple camera, for instance, and the S10e doesn't have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor below the display. Instead, there is a side-mounted captive fingerprint sensor on the right edge. It also comes in a hard-to-miss Canary Yellow.

    In terms of memory, you're looking at 6GB RAM with 128GB storage or 8GB RAM with 256GB storage options for the S10e.

    Similar to the S10 Plus and S10e, you get different memory options for the S10: 6GB RAM with 128GB of storage or 8GB with 512GB storage.

    But all the devices offer the same processor - an octa-core 8nm chipset - presumably the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 for the US and the Exynos 9820 for Europe, though that has yet to be confirmed.

    A quick tap on the Power Share icon in the drop down settings menu is all that is needed for the S10 Plus to reverse charge two devices at once. The Galaxy S10 also has this feature, so it can be used as a charger for earbuds, smartwatches, other phones, and so on.

    The idea is that the new phones can charge other devices just enough to keep them running. When plugged in, they can charge other devices. For business travelers, this ability will cut down on the cord bloat.

    Also, did you notice that white color? It's one of two new ceramic shades Samsung is also introducing for the S10 Plus. The other color is black.

    To go along with its new charging features, Samsung has its own wireless charger, which we first saw leak out months ago. It will charge Qi-enabled smartphones and accessories -- not just Samsung devices. 

    Like the ceramic S10 Plus models, this charger comes in white or black.
