An image showing a Cinnabar Red color version of the
Samsung Galaxy S10 has come out of China, adding to the color selection for the
upcoming flagship, which (based on all recent reports) will be Black, White and
Green. There will be a Yellow color exclusive to the S10e, similarly the Red
may be limited to just the S10.
Speaking of limits, the source of this image may not
be a coincidence – red is an important color in China, symbolizing good fortune
and joy. It’s especially common during the Chinese New Year celebrations, but
those are due to end before the S10 is unveiled. Still, cinnabar has been used
for decorative purposes in China since ancient times.
Another option is that this will be a limited
edition, going after some fandom judging by that avatar. Anyway, reports from insiders are
pretty consistent on the Galaxy S10 color options and Red hasn’t been mentioned
in a long time. We have no doubt that a red S10 will show up eventually, but
it’s not clear if it will be a launch color.
