After endless rumors that the Galaxy S10 would launch before MWC 2018 kicks off next month, we now know that Samsung will hold an Unpacked event in San Francisco on February 20th. The Korean company will not only unveil up to three variants of the Galaxy S10 but possibly also show off its Galaxy X folding phone that was teased towards the end of 2018 at the company's Developer Conference.
According to previous rumors, up to three variants of the Galaxy S10 could be announced at the Unpacked event, consisting of the Galaxy S10 Lite, the Galaxy S10 Edge, and the Galaxy S10+. Samsung is thought to be eschewing the controversial notched display and will instead punch a hole out in the screen to house the front-facing camera. It's not known if facial recognition will be present although this may not matter if the Galaxy S10 features an in-display fingerprint reader.
Under the hood, we can expect to see the Galaxy S10 powered by either the Snapdragon 855 processor or Samsung's Exynos 9820 chip, depending on the region. One rumor points to Samsung stuffing up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage in its newest flagship, if accurate, it's likely to only be seen on the most expensive variant. Reverse Wireless Charging is something that first appeared on Huawei's impressive Mate 20 Pro, and it seems that at least one model will also feature the ability to wirelessly charge other handsets.
While the bottom and mid-tier Galaxy S10's are thought to make do with a dual rear camera setup consisting of a standard lens and a telephoto lens, the Galaxy S10+ is believed to feature a wide-angle lens in addition.
So, February 20th is the big day where we'll see Samsung reveal all about its new Galaxy S10 flagship as well as providing more details on its Galaxy X folding smartphone that features an Infinity Flex display.
Let us know in the comments if you are going to wait until Samsung unveils the Galaxy S10 on February before you decide which phone to upgrade to.

I used to be an early adopter, no more. It seems as the features and colors come out a few months AFTER I took advantage of the early sales incentives. So, until definitive info about 5G is out, no new Samsung phone for me.
I have the S8 Edge and eligible to upgrade with Verizon in the next few months. Anymore info about theses models? 1T is a lot and would probably solve my issues with the limited storage limits on Dropbox.
