Simple. Everything its offer/features basically already exist on other branded phone.
S10e is nice though, been trying it on local retail here, and i love it. Best flagship compact phone at the moment i think.

There is now not enough difference between mid range and high end phones The era when people would buy any Samsung phone at any price is finished, thanks to the chinese competition.

The front of the device look like the back of most other devices.
Its like looking at a human who have his head twisted 360 degrees.. A frightening sight. On top of that, it's asking price did nothing to attract more people.
It's already a massive success, given its looks and price. Good Job Samsung.

They should have learned from Apple and their high prices. There is no need to charge a 1000€ price for a smartphone when the chinese have almost the same products with same specs one at half of its price. Buying the last year flagship also is tricky because you'll have only one update left...

k0vasz, 05 Mar 2019For me, the punch hole was not as irritating as a big notch... moreYou can't skip them all. If you want too long there will be more annoying things. Just buy a phone with notch and enjoy. It don't look bad.

Samsung did their best to produce a great phone and they made it. The whole Internet has been raving about how good the S10s are, so the marketing department did their best to convice the sites in any way they could. Everybody did their best to push the customers to the shops.
Don't look for the reasons. Don't blame the holes. The price is to blame, it's simply off the charts.

140K units it's really a good start, especially because the more Korean model, the 5G isn't yet release...
They've already 5G so why they will focus on 4G devices, Koreans are only focus on connectivity and display size as priority.

Even from an S8 there's really no major reason to update to S10. Maybe go for note 10 later this year. And if Note 10 fails to impress just wait for S11. By the time S11 comes out maybe there's not much different from S10 so go for S10 and a save a bunch of money. ;)
