    Anonymous, 23 Apr 2020Finally sensible comment, I'd still go S10e over this if you get a s10e with SD855 then surely a better deal, but with exynos i dont think. i have a exynos s10e for 6 months and I know.

      Sounds logic - SE has lower resolution, most powerfull chipset... it could be king of smartphones in antutu - ahead more exclusive and expensive iphone 11.
      Anyway, underclocked chipset means less power consumption - smaller (cheaper/lighter) battery...
      And maybe, it could be possible, that you can use units, which would not be stable in default clock frequency (like intel processor at least many years ago), so apple would get more cost-effectiveness (just my idea).

        Guess it's ok for the masses buying laptops paying for 3ghz cpu but getting throttled to under 2ghz at normal operations. As long as web browser works or the laptop isn't shutting down, it's ok then.

            Hahaha dramatic move to get a half working day out of this contraption. Power bank should be gratis in the box.

              Lordflashheart , 23 Apr 2020There are a lot of small phones that are better than se in ... moreMostly ios users would stick to ios and some android users would love to try ios with this low budget phone.
              i have a s10e exynos version. s10e is not clearly better than SE. the display is better but the phone runs hot and battery backup is poor. oh, my 6 month old s10e already has a faulty USB C port whereas my 4 year old 6s plus has never shown any problem. Sony XZ2 can be a good option but pixel 3 is totally crap with lots of build quality issue.
              this iphone would be good for next 3 years at least but can you say the same for the androids? XZ2 is already 2 years old, pixel 3 is already 1.5 years old. why would someone buy those?

                Most likely that tiny battery can't even handle A13 in peak.

                  Seriously?!?!?!? :)

                  I think you should come out of the tech bubble. First this iPhone is compact size very light and thin phone. You are listing those big phones? Why? And seriously you think people buy one phone over another because it has more RAM. Like i said come out of the tech bubble like Marquee also said that exact same thing about this phone, this phone is for 95% of population who don’t care stuffs like that, it will be hit everywhere where people want smaller compact cheaper iPhone

                          Hardcore gaming won’t be problem if someone want to do that. It will run every game perfectly smooth which you try, that’s the beauty of Apple ecosystem. All the games are so well optimized for only handful of specs.

                              Alex 94, 23 Apr 2020Cause in that price category I can find many great phones. ... moreThey are giving you a flagship grade camera and chipset with IP rating and wireless charging.

                              This phone is not my cup of tea (tiny display short battery life) but it definitely is a great deal

                                  Unless you are super committed to iOS there are a lot of compact android phone that are better than se in that price range

                                    Alex 94, 23 Apr 2020Then nobody should buy this phone. what makes you the person to dictate what people should do or not with their money?
                                    its their money, their choice.

                                      "... low screen resolution is bound to produce unmatched framerates."

                                      That is useless, since it's display is capped at 60hz, but also it's quite small.
