Earlier this month, Samsung sent out invitations for its next "Unpacked" launch event on Aug. 7 in Brooklyn. We're expecting the Galaxy Note 10 to be unveiled, but it looks as though we don't have to wait any longer to see the new phone if these leaked images are to be believed.

As Liliputing reports, Twitter user Ishan Agarwal tweeted images depicting the Galaxy Note 10 in silver and black finishes. If they are real, which they look to be, they reveal quite a bit about Samsung's next premium smartphone.

As you can see, the front of the Note 10 is all screen with only a small hole punch camera positioned centrally at the top. On the back, the cameras have been positioned over to the right and there's no fingerprint sensor. This suggests Samsung has switch to using an under-screen solution for fingerprint scans, which is very welcome if it proves to be both quick and reliable.

We can't see the top and bottom of the phone so it remains a mystery if the headphone jack has gone as we suspect. However, volume and power buttons do remain. Can you see what is missing, though? The dedicated Bixby button.

The hardware inside is guaranteed to be high-end and of course there's the S-Pen to play with. Galaxy Note 9 owners are surely going to like what they see here making an upgrade very tempting, and on looks alone, the Note 10 will grab the attention of iPhone owners.
