The Samsung Galaxy S10e is the smallest of the just-released S10 series, but it is still a huge performer, as you'd expect from a phone pitched at the upper end of the market.
This device wows at first sight, with its 5.8-inch all-screen Infinity-O display. The Dynamic AMOLED screen technology reduces blue light without compromising picture quality. The result is one of the clearest and most vivid displays of any smartphone brand.
Samsung cameras have set the standard in recent times and the S10e is no excpetion. It consists of a 16MP ultra-wide + 12MP wide angle lens on the back, plus a 10MP front camera. Features include the Ultra Wide Camera which takes cinematic photos with a field of vision beyond what the human eye can see. No matter what sort of photo you want to take, the intelligent camera takes stunning photos by automatically optimising your camera settings to the scene.
You can create awesome moving pictures as well with video features that include 4K UHD video recording at 60 fps and dramatic Super Slow-mo.
Samsung have made a point of creating sensational audio in their S Series phones. As a result, the S10e delivers ultra-high quality audio playback and surround sound with Dolby Atmos technology, which is mind-blowing for gamers, movie watchers or music lovers.
The S10e keeps humming in fine style with a Exynos 9820 processor, and a minimum of 6GB RAM and 128GB of built-in memory, with a 512GB expansion slot. The 3100mAh battery, and wireless charging, give you extended use during the day and fast, effortless charging when you need it.
Manufacturer: Samsung
Just as Apple did with the iPhone XR , Samsung has sprung a new, cheaper model on the world with its annual flagship refresh – the Samsung S10e is the most affordable of the new S10 phones, behind the standard Galaxy S10 , the Galaxy S10 Plus , and the Galaxy S10 5G model.
Compact; stylish design; Save yourself some money; Packed with power
No optical zoom; Still relatively expensive; One UI has its quirks
Ever since the rumours about the Galaxy S10 started surfacing, leaks about Samsung's iPhone XR killer started surfacing. And, at the Galaxy S10 event, Samsung launched the Galaxy S10e, an ‘essential' version of the flagship handset that came sporting practically all the main features of the S10...
Nicely rounded package. Good balance of price, performance, size, features. Beautiful screen, it seems to come with protector already applied. Love the ultra wide back camera, although it distorts a bit too much, I get better results clipping Moment lenses over regular camera, but a built in lens is...
On the whole, the Samsung Galaxy S10e is a powerful, palm-friendly smartphone that's ready to compete head-on with the iPhone XS and the Pixel 3. And in many ways it comes out on top. It would be easy to point at the S10e's feature list and say it's not as exciting as the Galaxy S10 or S10+.
All the power and performance of the bigger models; No curved screen edges is a good thing
Only dual camera versus S10's triple system; Design is a bit toy-ish in some colours
When I started my review of the Samsung Galaxy S10e smartphone, I was expecting something of a watered-down variant of the more premium S10 smartphones, as we've seen in previous Galaxy S ranges, as well as with its competitors. That wasn't the case here.
Great display; Edge-to-Edge screen; Reverse wireless charge; Feature-rich; Better price than S10; S10
Slightly sluggish reverse charge; Low-light photography
The Samsung Galaxy S10e ("e" as in "Essentials") is the common denominator of the Galaxy S10 line of products and represents the "base feature set" of the Galaxy S10 family. In our opinion, It exists for two purposes: having a compact high-end phone and an affordable 2019 Galaxy S.
Close to Galaxy S10+ camera performance; Very compact design; Speedy hardware
Display below S10/S10+ quality
The Galaxy S10e might initially be the least impressive of the family, but in the areas that matter most, it's equally as formidable. You'll spot a few compromises here and there but, considering the S10e is the cheapest of the three, the fact that it still brings top-end flagship specifications to...
Cheapest S10; Doesn't scrimp on performance; New design is stunning
Wait a few months for a price drop; Camera software could be better
After launching three smartphones in the ‘S Series' in 2015, Samsung has been launching only two ‘S Series' flagships starting with the Galaxy S7 in 2016, but this year the company launched the Galaxy S10e along with the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ .
5.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with minimal bezels; Comfortable one-handed usage; Smooth performance; Side-mounted fingerprint scanner is really fast; Wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare
Battery life could have been better; Average low-light camera performance
Pre-ordered the S10e and got it delivered on launch day. I think this phone is beautiful with great quality build that feels great on the hands. It's not huge by all means like the other S10s and yet manages to pack a big sharp beautiful display that covers most of the front.
"The best camera is the one that you have with you" If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer them.
Excellent Samsung design and build quality combined with smaller size makes it a joy to use one-handed; With the internal hardware of a 2019 flagship phone, this compact powerhouse flies and can't be slowed down; Includes the excellent and fun 16MP Ultra wide lens from its bigger brethren;...
Fingerprint sensor is critically flawed in my experience and it's unclear if future software updates could improve it; Samsung software update delivery is a known unknown so be prepared to wait for updates; Cameras are excellent but don't raise the bar against the competition.
