Samsung and other premium phone manufacturers will just coast on their current phone products while investing in the next big thing. Apple is already gobbling up the watch segment, so other players have to move fast to get into the rest of the wearables market (glasses etc.)
I wouldn't be so sure about being disappointed with Samsung, though. They've had the same design for the S8 and S9, so will no doubt redesign for S10. An in-display fingerprint sensor is likely, and foldable is possible (in their line-up somewhere, not necessarily as an S10). Even one of those would give me a phone that's interestingly different from what I have now, which is all I'm looking for.

Another opportunity is for a small flagship. Would be wicked if they released an S10 mini.
