Samsung's top-end Galaxy S10 could have six cameras and 5G

A new report form the Wall Street Journal claims Samsung is working on a tenth anniversary Galaxy S smartphone to be announced alongside a trio of Galaxy S10s in February. Dubbed 'Beyond X', the report suggest the phone will have a massive 6.7-inch display, 5G support, and six cameras. Four of these cameras are said to be on the back (as with Samsung's Galaxy A9), and two on the front.

The three other Galaxy S10 models sound like they'll be a little less extra, featuring between three and five cameras across the front and back, depending on the device. Screen-sizes are tipped to range between 5.8-inches and 6.4-inches.

The Wall Street Journal says that the three standard S10 models will arrive in the market first, and the Beyond X will arrive as carriers have 5G ready to support it. We wouldn't be surprised if Samsung unveiled all four phones at Mobile World Congress, a tradeshow in Barcelona that happens late February each year.

Samsung is also planning to launch a foldable smartphone next year - which may be called the Galaxy Flex - but the Wall Street Journal's report didn't have any further information about when we might see it in stores.
