Samsung Galaxy S10e vs. Apple iPhone XR

21 April 2019


Sort by:

Without a doubt, S10e is the more superior one but I still wouldn't buy it due to its high price tag. One good reason to own either of them conpared to most flagships is its compact size.

    The XR was so bad that even apple thought of cutting its production.

        Jun1250 - Just compare that two phones here on GSMArena, you will find only minor differences - IP6x, LTE bands, stereo speakers ... should I pay 800 euro more for that?

        BTW in my country you can buy S10e for 630 euro that is much less than Xr so I think Samsung won the battle here

Your argument makes sense if the Mi 9 was clearly inferior to these two. The fact is, even disregarding price, the Mi 9 is superior to both the S10e and the XR (aside from water resistance).

            iam an iphone 6s user, I feel disgraceful they are comparing s10e vs shitty junk phone XR

                So the p30 and the mi9 should really be in this comparison

                  BornInEU, 21 Apr 2019And the winner is ... Mi 9. Better endurance, I believe 108... moreThe Mi line seems to compete with OnePlus at a semi-flagship level: flagship processor and build quality but without official IP ratings. For instance, when comparing Mi 8 and OnePlus 6, Mi 8 is cheaper but OnePlus still has some splash resistance while having a 3.5mm jack and OxygenOS, some other slight trade-offs here and there

                  Let's just say you can't compare Mi 9 with these two because it was never meant compete with them

                    Why compare XR and S10e ? XR is even bigger than S10...

                      Kangal, 21 Apr 2019I believe I have tried Facial Recognition/Security from eve... moreAgreed. Face ID is secure, but man is it annoying. On my 6 Plus, I could unlock it while on a desk, in hand, or in landscape. This XR only unlocks in Portrait and has a specific area and distance from face to unlock. The iPad implements Face ID much better

                        Strawhat, 21 Apr 2019But the downside of Mi 9 is MIUI, bloated, ads infected apps.Samsung's UI is also bloated, and all the ads can be disabled in MIUI, so...

                          I wouldn't expect the opposite, since the S10e is the smallest S10s.
                          Whatever, we ain't living in the same world, I guess

                            iphone XS would be a fair comparison to s10e

                              dude111, 21 Apr 2019"Which is why the iPhone Xr (barely) passes with its FaceID... moreI believe I have tried Facial Recognition/Security from every phone company in one form or another, and I can honestly say Apple's implementation is the best one yet. However, on the whole, I do not like Facial Security, due to the limitations of lighting, glasses, attire, makeup, facial hair, hair and twins/dopplegangers. And not to mention how it sometimes struggles with photos or videos spoofing.

                              Yet my biggest complaint is its speed and inconvenience. Apple's FaceID is the only one I would say has decent security, however, compared to your standard fingerprint scanner it really is slower and much more inconvenient.

                              I have a feeling Apple may not revive TouchID with an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. They might double-down on FaceID and make it faster.... and implement the entire sensors (the "notch") underneath the display instead. Until that happens, Apple's current security system will be behind the competition, and hence, my "barely" remark previously.

                              PS: I hope Apple improves this drastically, and as fast as possible, I want to see greater competition in the market wether that comes from Apple... or Microsoft, Blackberry, Palm, KaiOS, Jolla, Nokia... or Google, Samsung, LG, Sony, ASUS, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, Meizu etc etc.

                                Ads can be turned off and they won't show up again so try harder
                                Mi 9 is way cheaper than both phones so regardless it wins
