A 5G Galaxy Note 10 variant is all but confirmed

We've been hearing rumours about a 5G Galaxy Note 10 variant for quite some time, but thanks to a leaked ad, we now know it's almost certainly happening.

Prolific leaker Evan Blass took to Twitter to share what appears to be an ad from US telco Verizon confirming the existence of a 5G Galaxy Note 10 model. Dubbed the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, the phone sure sounds like it's a 5G-ready version of the Note 10+.

If you're not up to date on your Samsung rumours, the company is set to unveil two different sized Galaxy Note 10 models this year: the 6.28-inch Galaxy Note 10, and the 6.75-inch Galaxy Note 10+. Both should be pretty similar in terms of hardware (other than battery size), but we wouldn't be surprised if only the Note 10+ is available in a 5G configuration. 5G smartphones have all been on the larger side, to do date.

However, we'll know for sure when Samsung unveil the Note 10 on August 8 (6am AEST). In the meantime, check out more Galaxy Note 10 rumours here.
