It's still an important milestone, though, and puts the 5G model a step closer to an official retail release. As usual, Samsung is working on firmware for all three major South Korean carriers (SK Telecom, LG Uplus, and KT Corporation), and the software version for the build Samsung is testing at the moment is G977NKSU0ASA6. Development for the US-bound Galaxy S10 X hasn't started yet, and neither can we find any trace of a firmware for other markets, which shouldn't be surprising as it has been long rumored that the 5G model would be limited to South Korea and the US.
In addition to 5G support, rumors have it that the Galaxy S10 X (the name of the 5G model isn't yet confirmed) will also have a 6.7-inch screen, a 5,000 mAh battery, and possibly four rear cameras. It's probably going to be notably more expensive than the non-5G models, and rightly so considering the hardware it's expected to pack. Samsung is likely to offer more details at the February 20 launch of the Galaxy S10, along with information on the release date and pricing, and you can rest assured that we'll bring all that information to you live from San Francisco.
