The new devices will reportedly house Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 855 processor or Samsung's in-house Exynos 9820 chipset, depending on the region.
According to WinFuture, the S10 will offer a 128GB model with 6GB of RAM and a 512GB / 8GB version, while the S10 Plus will offer 1TB of storage and a massive 12GB RAM.
