Samsung Galaxy S10 may be able to wirelessly charge other compatible devices

The vanilla Samsung Galaxy S10 has been spotted in the wild by serial tipster Evan Blass. The render shared by Blass on Twitter shows off the alleged Samsung Galaxy S10 in full glory from the front and by the looks of it, it isn’t so much of a symmetrical affair. Also, Blass has shared one previously unknown feature of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10, that it may be able to wirelessly charge other compatible devices something on the lines of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. 

Coming to the render shared, the Samsung Galaxy S10, which will reportedly come with a 6.1-inch curved screen, is seen here with a bottom bezel or chin. This bottom bezel or chin is substantial in comparison to the upper and side bezels. Now, Samsung has so far been actively gunning for all-round symmetry with regards to its flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Note devices, which is probably why the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy Note 9, all come with top and bottom bezels in equal proportion. The alleged Galaxy S10 seen in the render is a stark contradiction to everything that Samsung has come out with so far. 

Regardless, the alleged Samsung Galaxy S10 is also seen carrying its long-rumoured punch-hole selfie camera, in the render. Adding a fair bit of asymmetry of its own to the grand scheme of things.  

The second bit of information shared by Blass is rather interesting though. The Samsung Galaxy S10 may be able to act as a wireless charging mat for other compatible devices like smartwatches and smartphones. We’ve already seen Huawei toy around with the tech in its premiere Mate 20 Pro, but it seems it is still very early days for it. The version inside the Huawei Mate 20 Pro isn’t exactly ideal to comfortably charge compatible devices. It is slow and takes some time getting used to as far as positioning of devices is concerned. It would be interesting to see if Samsung could add something of its own here and make the feature worthwhile and worth talking about. 

Samsung is expected to announce its Galaxy S10 line-up of devices preferably around MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. Rumour has it that Samsung may have a flurry of devices under its Galaxy S line-up this year, including a version with 5G connectivity.
