After unveiling its newest high-end smartphones, Galaxy Watch Active, and Galaxy Buds at its UNPACKED 2019 event ahead of MWC 2019, Samsung has launched them in India today. All three phones went on pre-orders in India two weeks ago, and Samsung claims that they have received more than twice the pre-orders it received for the Galaxy S9 series last year. The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10 Plus will go on sale today. Samsung is also offering Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch bundles for those who purchase a Galaxy S10 phone.
The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10 Plus compete with the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max, respectively, and the pricing is really competitive compared to Apple’s smartphones. However, these phones also compete with the likes of the OnePlus 6T, which is more affordable but comes with a year-old processor and lacks features like the dust and water resistant, wireless charging, and a 3.5 headphone jack.
