    Samsung should update their software to make the status bar in line with the camera when the punch hole is hidden! Moving the status bar below the camera takes up more screen real estate.

      Anonymous, 21 Feb 2019Wish if Samsung didn’t add an SD card slot android already ... moreWhat? Do you actually carry an external drive with your phone when 400GB (soon 1TB) could be inside of it?

              S10e is around 40K here in the Philippines.

                hello,
                All you guys doing a great job and have been following you guys(GSMArena) since 10+ years give or take. I know you guys busy but it would be great if you can post your full review of Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ because as you know its on promotional offers and I would like to buy it as my first expensive smartphone if it ticks all the right boxes. For me region available option is Exynos 9820. For me concern topics are :- 1) is sdm855 alot better than Exynos9820. 2) is it future proof with regular updates(android and security). 3) In real life how much would battery difference would it prove between s10 and s10+ because i don't want to shell out more for s10+ specially for that not so good wide secondary selfie camera. 4) Should I wait for pixel 4 or huawei p30pro(Don't favour huawei much though). Personal preference Snapdragon 855, atleast 6 gb ram, really good camera -ultrawide a must atleast, snappy performance without heavy skin.

                Thank you guys

                  I don't know if I am the only one, but I can't seem to find in europe for the s10e in any shop the processor type (snapdragon 855 or the other one), like they are hiding it.

                    Just ordered the S10e. With the trade in, I can't go wrong. Out the door for just over $220!

                        The S10E also has double the storage, a far better battery life (the S9s is below average), no curved screen (a selling point for many), built in Dex, AI built into the cameras and battery care, HDR10+ screen, reverse wireless charging, faster wireless charging. Plus everything you mentioned already so yeah plenty of an upgrade from the S9

                          Why is no one talking about how you would be a fool to buy the Samsung S10e over the Samsung S9?



                          For TWICE the price (since S9 has depreciated with the S10 release) the only improvements you will get is 2GB extra of RAM, a marginally better chipset and front facing camera, and an extra camera on the back for wide shots. But you pretty much get the same storage, main camera, Android UI, and other features (a fingerprint scanner on the back or the front isn’t better in anyway, it’s just a preference). But where it matters the most, the screen, you actually get one with a WORSE resolution on the S10e (even though it's called "Dynamic", the pixel density is from the Samsung S5)! I'm not sure why they thought that would be a smart move...



                          It makes me wonder how Samsung will try to convince people to fork out around $700 for the Samsung S10e instead of buying the already amazing Samsung S9 for around $350! That's double the price -- which boils down to: is that second camera to take wide shots worth it? And wouldn't you rather buy a GoPro 7 with that extra cash?!


                          I hope GSM Arena can talk about this!

                            Jhoward21, 24 Feb 2019Your not alone. I really can't tell the difference in pictu... moreof course you can't, your seeing deluberately bad shots taken by people who delught in selling "i" phones.

                            get the little dig," some would call LEGACY", yep, rather than praise Samsung for retaining a port which won't fry your brain, a port every body wants, we get quoted, "i" speech, to protect the idiots who removed the 3.5mm jack.. This whole review smacks of anti Samsung/protect the american "i". If all the things that the "i" lacks and the things that have previously been released in other manufacturers phones, were quoted in the "i" reviews there would be no room left in the review. I don't know how america writes benchmark software, or how the neccessary code is given to american "i", to prepare its phones to look good on it, but our real world use of note 9 v "i", sees the "i" getting a caneing, so the s10 should actually polush it off. Just one more tong in cheek usa review, I turned off pcktnow on youtube after 11m of thier shamefull review , after listenig them subtly wast time + mention the obligatory n7 slide in, and in what maybe the most important tech release of the year, they mock and joke playing hard cop soft cop, whilst side lining the phones, if you want to rebiew these phones, stay away from anything you discern smells of apples.

                                what`s up with notch and curve?! I don`t like them

                                  kevinmcmurtrie, 24 Feb 2019Please stop messing with the nice main screen that I want t... moreI was a long time Samsung owner from the s2 though most notes to the S8 plus. I broke the S8 plus because of the fragile edges. I went with the Huawei mate 20 x. Having a flat screen is awesome. Easier to hold, no accidental edge presses and a lot stronger if dropped... Plus it the S10 plus is nearly double the price.

                                    I am a owner of the Note 9 and i am not so impressed of the new s10 line they are not much better then the my note 9 except the tripple cameras on the s10+ but thats it also and when looking at the high pricetag of them you can get the note 9 for much less money and the note 9 has still some bezels which i like so theire is no reason to upgrade and the note 9 is still among som of the most powerfull phones on the market

                                      Please stop messing with the nice main screen that I want to use for movies and reading. Put 1280x720 AMOLED screen on the back side of the phone for selfies, video conferencing, AoD, and notifications. Make the front screen flat and protected with a rim.
