It's this last one that's the most exciting for camera fans, but for that one you are going to have to wait.

What is 5G? And what does it mean for photographers?

But all the phones have impressive camera smarts and new features such as Best Shot. This, according to Samsung uses machine learning to analyse 100 million professional photos to make sure you get the 'best shot' out of the camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is has reduced camera setup when compared to the rest of the line-up. In short: it's an iPhone XR contender with two camera on the back: a 16-MP Ultra Wide lens cameras alongside a 12MP telephoto lens.

The Galaxy S10 and ?S10+ have three cameras on the rear. These consist of a dual pixel 12MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP telephoto zoom lens. These are the same megapixel count as what was on the Sa

msung Galaxy S9+.

The ultra-wide angle shooting mode is the star of the show here, though - an added ultra-wide 16MP lens.

It's a similar lens that was found on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and goes down to 0.5x to get really close-up shots. It also means you can get lovely wide vistas too.
