Samsung already wrapped up the press conference. They had loads of announcements, including the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10e smartphones. The South Korean tech giant also surprised us with an early reveal of the Galaxy Fold foldable smartphone – which doubles up as a tablet.

Finally, Samsung announced a Galaxy S10 5G Edition, although this won’t be with us until “early summer”.That’s all, but we’re expecting to see more of the Galaxy Fold at next week’s MWC 2019 tech show in Barcelona
