First, the basics. The 5G S10 is roughly the same size and shape as last year's Galaxy Note 9, except that it's noticeably thinner -- it doesn't have to house an S Pen, after all. Really, we're only talking about a difference of one millimeter, but it goes a long way in making sure the S10 5G and its huge, 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen are comfortable to use for long periods. (In case you were wondering, this phone is also just as thick as the standard S10 and S10 Plus.)

As you might expect, we're mostly looking at a straight retread of the other Galaxy S10s. That is, until you get to the cameras — there are new, time-of-flight cameras baked into the S10 5G's front and back, and we were originally told that they're there to allow for the kinds of improved AR experiences that 5G networks can provide. Fair enough, I guess.

The most immediate use for these depth-sensing cameras, though, is shooting videos with background-blurring bokeh on the fly. It's not exactly the newest idea — similar features have popped up on both the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and LG's new G8 ThinQ — but Samsung's implementation feels like the best of them. Sure, the space around the person I wanted in focus tended to fluctuate, so people in the background I wanted to ignore would occasionally appear sharper than I would have liked. Even so, it seemed to keep a better lock on my intended subject than other phones I've tested. For now, at least, the feature seems to struggle when you're using trying to shoot live bokeh video through the selfie camera; my video producer Brian should've been out of focus when he craned his neck around my shoulder, but he appeared clearly.
