The Samsung Galaxy S10 series of smartphones are a lineup of cellular devices developed by Samsung Electronics, and is the 10th iteration of devices in their S series of smartphones powered by the Android operating system. Unveiled in 2019, the devices in the series share common specifications such as an Exynos 9820 system-on-chip (with the US models being equipped with a superior Snapdragon 855 that is more power efficient and more capable), a hole-punch style front-facing camera, and an HDR10+ compatible display so you can watch like 5 YouTube videos that have HDR and also pay extra for Netflix UHD just to get HDR. They are the last iteration of S-series devices to retain a 3.5mm headphone jack (later, it was revealed that The Committee For Bluetooth Device Adoption bribed all major smartphone companies to drop the headphone jack so consumers would buy more Bluetooth headsets). All devices run One UI, a software overlay developed for Android by Samsung Electronics for Samsung Galaxy devices. They are notorious for slower Android upgrades compared to other smartphone manufacturers such as Google, although security updates are usually distributed a few days following the start of each month. The entire S10 series cones preinstalled with Facebook and Microsoft Office Mobile (which you can't even access because it's a hidden system app) because everyone uses Facebook and MS Office and there totally wasn't a monetary incentive behind their inclusion.

• 1202 – Some Fourth Crusade thing happened and also a Siege of Zara in Zadar, Croatia where a Catholic city that got invaded by Catholic crusaders which makes no sense at all like why would they invade their own city
• 1940 – A 7.7 Mw earthquake happened in Vrancea in some part of Romania somewhere.

• 2007 – At the Ibero-American Summit in Santiago, Chile, King Juan Carlos I of Spain told president Hugo Chávez of Venezuela to shut the heck up because he kept rudely interrupting prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Kids, if you interrupt people when they are talking you are a bad person and everyone will hate you when you grow up because you are extremely inconsiderate to the person talking but it is okay if the person talking is a horrible person in which case interrupting them is perfectly fine and people will thank you for cutting whatever it is they are saying short.
