Samsung Galaxy S10e review: The one to buy

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+.
Pros:
  • All the power and performance of the bigger models
  • No curved screen edges is a good thing
Cons:
  • Only dual camera versus S10's triple system
  • Design is a bit toy-ish in some colours

Samsung Galaxy S10e Review

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.
Pros:
  • Close to Galaxy S10+ camera performance
  • Very compact design
  • Speedy hardware
Cons:
  • Display below S10/S10+ quality

Samsung Galaxy S10E review: Overlooking Samsung's cheapest phone would be a mistake

The Galaxy S10E is a terrific value for a compact, powerhouse phone, although it can't beat the OnePlus 6T's $550 price. It's been about two months since I reviewed the Galaxy S10E, Samsung's best-value buy among the S10 phones, and I'm still just as sold. While it may seem downright boring compared to the 6.7-inch, quad-camera S10 5G or the bendable Galaxy Fold, the S10E is also much more of a sure thing, and reliability is a pretty universally chart-topping trait when it comes to buying a new phone. The S10 5G will only be as fast as its supporting networks, and... well, you know all about the Galaxy Fold's screen issues.
Pros:
  • A dream come true for value shoppers who love small phones
  • The Galaxy S10E shares the S10's core camera and Snapdragon 855 chipset, so photos and speed are excellent
  • Battery life and wireless power sharing are also spot-on
  • Its fingerprint reader and flat screen solve minor problems with the pricier S10 and S10 Plus.
Cons:
  • Lefties and people with small hands may find the fingerprint reader placement a tad inconvenient
  • The indented shape makes taking screenshots feel odd.

The Galaxy S10 and S10+ set a high bar for this year's premium Android phones and, with the S10e, Samsung is trying to make sure more people benefit from its work. That's new territory for the company, and it paid off.

Samsung Galaxy S10E review: short, not shortchanged

The past few years in smartphones have led us to believe that bigger is better: bigger displays, bigger batteries, and bigger price tags on these pocket computers we carry with us every day. Thankfully, in the case of the new Galaxy S10E, that's no longer true.
Pros:
  • Better fingerprint sensor than bigger S10s
  • Great size
  • Most bang for your buck
Cons:
  • Niche features like Bright Night and wide angle selfie not as good as Pixel's
  • Screen layout can be awkward and disproportionate
  • Battery life could be better

Samsung Galaxy S10e Smartphone Review

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is a first-rate smartphone that is well worth considering over the considerably more expensive Galaxy S10 or S10+. There are a few compromises, such as the lack of a third rear-facing camera and no option for a ceramic back, but you still get a device with a premium design...
Pros:
  • decent value for money
  • accurate GPS module
  • low power consumption
  • powerful SoC
  • colour accurate screen
  • AMOLED panel
  • IP68 certified against water and dust
  • Comparatively compact
  • Premium build and design
Cons:
  • short battery life
  • high surface temperatures
  • the SoC throttles under sustained load
  • touchscreen issues while playing Arena of Valor
