The phone that finally follows numeric order Akshat Iyer

Ah, yes. The time has come for new technology to arrive. With all of the recent mobile phones being put out (frankly, they are pretty lame), there has to be one that catches our eyes. One has finally been announced though. The new Samsung Galaxy S10 has many capabilities that seem cool on the surface. However, are they really necessary? Though the phone has many things to be questioned, they do get one thing right: their naming scheme. Finally, a company in the technology field has named its product in proper numeric order! Windows and Apple were just like, "Hmm, what should we name our products after the 8th iteration? I don't know. Let's name it 10 and X because that makes sense!" Samsung actually released the S8, S9, and the S10, in ORDER. Other companies have to learn from them, instead of releasing Windows 98, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and then Windows 10. Don't forget the USB naming scheme, with their infamous Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 naming on USB outputs that were previously called 3.2 and 3.1. That is an even hotter mess. However, enough about the names. Let's get into the actual features leaked from the footage in the advertisement.
First of all, the screen quality is gorgeous. Normally, for battery saving, you would be looking at a 2280x1080 screen resolution, which is pretty darn nice; however, you have the choice of boosting the resolution to a whopping 3040x1440 pixel display, which is amazing considering most of our computer monitors only have a 1920x1080 display. Samsung's display is going to make browsing the internet or streaming videos beautiful, which is always great.
Samsung has also somewhat solved the full-screen display feature that every phone company has been dying to try and fix, with the most infamous outcome being "the notch" (see Liam's blog post from last year for more details) for the front-facing camera. Instead of the notch, Samsung is trying something different. They are trying something that is known as the "hole punch." This is basically what it sounds like: a front-facing camera that looks like a dot on the top right hand of the screen. And while that may seem strange, this is the best solution so far, so Samsung has done a pretty good job with this issue.
However, one of the phone's biggest features is the wireless power-sharing mechanism the phone has. If two people have the Samsung Galaxy S10, and if one person is running out of battery, the other person can use their phone like a battery bank in order to charge the phone that is almost out of battery. While this may seem like an amazing idea at first, there are a few questions to be asked. First of all, let's consider the price of this product. Rumors are estimating this phone will cost about $1450 to have all of its features. Who is going to buy a phone for that much money, and then find someone else who bought that phone for that much money who needs the battery life? It isn't even like this phone loses battery that quickly. The S10 has a 24-hour intelligent battery, which means it is definitely not going to lose that much juice, so why would you need power sharing? In my honest opinion, it is cool, however, a little unnecessary.
All in all, this phone does come with some cool features, however, with the price tag attached to it, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have $1500 burning a hole in your pocket. Maybe wait until they release a cheaper version.
...Oh wait...

Well, I guess that's a topic for later. Bye!
