| - | [* black] We pause for a brief moment on our way to some chip ID to glance at what lies beneath the motherboard. We make a couple observations: |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Copper heat pipe looks bigger this year |
| - | [* black] New thermal pad thing where the copper meets the mobo |
| - | [* black] cameras are encased in some 1980's-lookin yellow plastic |
| - | [* black] Next the cameras come off the motherboards. As always, Samsung had a lot to say about these cameras. |
| + | [* black] We pause for a brief moment on our way toward the chips to glance at what lies beneath the motherboard. We make a couple observations: |
| + | [* black] There's a massive copper heat pipe running alongside the battery. It doesn't look as long as last year's, but it's much wider. |
| + | [* black] This year, the biggest chips get a nice new coat ... of thermal compound. This, combined with the souped-up heat pipe, might mean the S10's silicon is running a bit hotter this year. |
| + | [* black] Though Samsung touted a new, state-of-the-art camera system, that yellow plastic surrounding these cameras reminds us more of something from the 80's. Could that be some kind of retro shock absorber? |
| + | [* black] Looks like the cameras get another name update this year, to "Beyond" from last year's "[guide|104308|Dream|stepid=195677|new_window=true]". |
| + | [* black] The S10 gets one more camera than the S10e—a telephoto—and sticks it on the same connector as the wide-angle camera. |
