Samsung Galaxy S10e review

19 March 2019
The Samsung Galaxy S10e is like a breath of fresh air in a world of behemoth smartphones with enormous displays. To be honest, we didn’t expect Samsung or any other manufacturer for that matter to release a compact flagship. Especially since even Sony dropped their compact lineup. But here it is - a small flagship phone for a little less than you’d expect from a normal flagship these days.

I'm glad i avoid Samsung cause they haven't delivered a flagship with decent battery in ages it feels like.. No matter how good everything is that would feel like a massive downgrade to me.

    It's awful, just as expected. Yeah the screen might be good but the battery life is a joke. My Xperia 10 Plus lasts longer with absolutely NOTHING going for it..

      For the price, this is Not enough time battery. Clearly a fail from Samsung. Doesn't matter what optimization companies use, We need 4000+Mah on top of it.

        Are you using the Exynos or Sanpdragon version?

                I prefer the S10e over the other siblings. Because of its value for money. S10e might not have the best value compared to a MI 9 or Oneplus 7 coming up ( approx USD 500 ish with 90% of S10e capability ). But hey folks! Those aren't Samsung ! You WONT look rich with any phone other than samsung ! Not in the android world. Wanna look rich? Buy a samsung. Period.

                  upgraded to S10e from XZ2 Compact last week. no regrets. love s10e

                    All pros except one big con: The FPS location is a tough call for small- and left-hand users.

Was very tempted with the 10e but I feel its more of an upgrade going from the s8 to the 10 plus. Love the prism white, I hope we see more irridescent phones!

                                Not only the screen is bigger here, but that S10e in general is smaller than your A5 2017, which is a step in the right direction.
