The Galaxy S10 was released by Samsung in 2019 as part of its flagship Galaxy S line, and its startup chime was the standard sound heard when the device powered on. As owners shared phone sounds, unboxing clips and tech comparisons online, the short chime became easy to recognise beyond the handset itself. It is still used today because it instantly signals a Samsung phone, a tech setup or the start of something new, without needing any spoken explanation.
About this sound
The Samsung Galaxy S10 startup sound, the short chime that plays when the phone powers on. Creators use it for unboxings, tech edits and Android intros.
The Samsung S10 startup sound is the brief, polished chime that plays the moment the Galaxy S10 finishes booting, a clean rising tone that feels instantly familiar to anyone who used Samsung phones in the late 2010s. It is short, bright and slightly futuristic, with a smooth electronic melody that rises and resolves in just over two seconds, rather than a loud alarm or a long jingle. Hearing it brings back the small ritual of turning on a new phone, so in videos it works as a quick signal for something starting, a device waking up, or a fresh idea beginning.
