S11 e battery reports of 3800 mah

DarRid

The size is the main factor that attracts people so a90 is not direct comparison for majority of the people interested in small handsets

DarRid

Note 8 has 3300 battery and 6.3 screen. For me it had similar battery life to s9 plus. My S10e has better battery life than my s9 plus and Note 8 - all exynos versions

Sponge

I see there is an issue with size vs Battery life with this handset, according to the other comments at least. The s10e doesnt really need to be continued anymore, not with the introduction of the A90 5G. The A90 5G offers a much better 4500mah battery, a larger 6.7" FHD+ display, the same 855 chipset as the s10e whilst offering 5G connectivity to those who are in an area that will adopt it network early. On this basis alone the A90 5G 6.7", S10 6.1" and S10+ 6.4" is the overall better lineup in real terms of being the competitor to Apples iPhone 11-line up. The A90 5G beats the iPhone 11 in terms of cost alone.

S11e_fix-plz

Got a Note 8 but noticed too heavy after using a 5.9" phone Really liked S10e flat screen and size - but got turned off by the battery and heat issue Hope s11e is not inferior like s10e Keep it at 5.8 plz Or 5.99 with super thin bezels

Radkov

I had the s10e for 2 week, and i had to return it, because was a disappointment. Pros- Very good form factor, and design. -UI is very good and intuitive to use. -The fingerprint/power button . Cons - Very low battery life for this size of the battery, has the same battery life as iphone XS with a 1000mah smaller capacity. -It's a hot device, when you use it without case , i feel it hot. -Fast charge is not so good, if i use it and charge it at the same time the battery percentage is almost not moving. -When i watch videos, if i hold it in my hands, there are a lot of vibrations from the speakers, just feels cheap. -The punch hole is good just for flexing, it's more noticeable than the water drop notch when i watch videos.

Cool story bruh~ Try again..

It's remarkably a strong device.. Like you buy a Ferrari without tyres or gas tank.. Good to look without actual use. Battery is very very mediocre.. Sometimes I need to charge it 3 times a day or keep it plugged while using. Second, if you prefer using polarized sunglasses (power) you really won't be able to read screen especially in direct sunlight.. I replaced it comfortably with A50 and got a relief

I don't think the S10e is worth the upgrade from the S9, but if you really want to upgrade then id say go for it.

Rukszak

If you're dead set on upgrading, I would get the s10 5g or note 10. Personally, I would wait until the s11 is released. I had a s9+ and was pretty much given a s10e. I love my s10e, but I don't think I would've spent the 650 usd to upgrade yet. The s11 is supposed to be a pretty substantial change unlike the s10.

An a50 is a budget phone for mid range A s10e is a flagship level phone so superior in every way except battery life probably better in a50 but not by much and it's a larger phone

poor batery life..... and overheating after 40min Skype call. Better buy another phone or if you are going for the S line buy the S10+ because S10 is basicly S10e with an extra camera.Trust me guys go for the S10+ or for a phone with a bigger battery

It seems odd, but with time I've come to conclusion that enabling your location services (GPS) is actually beneficial for your battery life. My battery lasts significantly longer with my GPS turned on, which is rather unusual.

Its between the 845 and 855 in you level But the s11 and s12 eventually went they use amd which would probably shred this by a large margin They are now some games which require full gpu usage like pubg at max and fortnite just about run in exynos version Soon they will be a big improvement but it will last 2 years easily

S10e is better in every way even the iPhone 11 it only has CPU advantage but everything else Samsung rules

AverageUser

S10e difinitley. Better and bigger screen, smaller bezels, better camera (dual camera), better waterproofing, faster and more power efficient chipset (iPhone 8's A11 is 10nm and 2 years older than the S10e). With the S10e you also get more storage on a base model, SD slot, dual SIM option and a headphone jack, plus Wireless Power Share feature too. S10e is still a 2019 flagship, iPhone 8 is 2017 flagship, I know that the iOS supports their devices for 5 years, and Samsung supports for 3, so you get 3 years of software support on each, but in this case, hardware wise the S10e is miles ahead of the iPhone8...

I got the update last night. I have the Exynos version of S10e, unlocked (since I don't have a contract, I just buy vouchers) and I always pay for my phones in cash (in my country this is the cheapeast way to do it, plus you get extra discount for using cash and for paying full price right away). I didn't had time to test it on whatsapp yet. I only had regular call on loudspeaker since the update, and so far it's good. But regular calls weren't really affected at a first place though, so time will tell.

DarRid

Have you got the update for s10e yet? I am curious if they fixed the issue.. Unfortunately I am still waiting..

AverageUser

I use the S9 for my work (phone from my company) and the S9 was never affected by this issues at the first place. I received an answer from Samsung, if I still have issues after the next update, they will take my phone and try to fix first software, and then look into hardware if they find it necessary. They acknowledged the issue, but thing is that not many people use that feature often (or at all) so there is not too many complaints. They will fix it for sure, we can just hope it will be sooner than later.

The xiomi is a midrange this year The oneplus is last years flagship The s10e this year flagship ergonomic Samsung has newer processor beats both and superior cameras and screen tec ,battery is smaller but to screen size ratio it give around same time probably get android updates more than others but Samsung are slow

DarRid

September security update should be rolled out by the end of the month or beginning of October.. So technically soon.. But it might be not included if they didn't know about the issue. Next after that will be October security update. Main software update will be android 10 by the end of the year or beginning of 2020.. P. S. Anyone here with snapdragon versions to check if they are affected by noise cancellation issues?

AverageUser

Exynos version too. And yes, I checked the headphones - no difference, headphones are affected too. So, that is definitley a software issue. Also, do you maybe know when the next update will be rolled out? Thanks in advance my friend :)

Here you are:

Just tested headphones.. Definitely headphones are affected. This confirms that it's software issue not hardware. If you can please check it in your case. Cheers

DarRid

I had to go back to my old s9 because I work abroad and WhatsApp / messenger video calls are only way to contact my family. Usually I don't have headphones laying around :( Besides I think headphones are also affected but little bit less..

MladenJ

Please take screenshots from 6 to 7 h, that would be nice to see. Just because you worked with your cell phone in those 6 to 7 h, what activity is very important.

AverageUser

Yeah, that sucks. I realized that it'd probably be the best to use headphones for those phone calls, but it's a hassle to plug them in and if you're under shower it'll ruin your headphones... and then I had another realization, that it's not that smart to use headphones lol... Some people never use loudspeaker, but to others like us - it's extremley important feature. We can just hope that they do cover it up.

DarRid

If they check other service centers they will find a very small percentage of reports and they will ignore it :( I hope they will fix it even by the same mistake that they broke it in the first place.. Unfortunately rolling back the software is not that easy and we need a third party software. If something goes wrong then we won't have problems with the loudspeaker.. We will have problem with bricked phone :(

Argentinianuserr

I can't believe people is still complaining about battery life. My 4g signal is POOR and i still get 6:30- 7 hs + SOT. If you need screenshots to believe me, let me know

It's not always possible to roll back - depending upon update type.

Mayur Patel

Hey. The phone holds nicely. The camera set-up in lovely in good lighting condition. The battery holds up for 1 day & 9 hrs. with data connection, bluetooth headset, etc. 'ON' for about 14+ hours. Half an hour of video playback & about 2 hrs. of calling.

If you noticed this issue after software update, then roll back your firmware to previous one. It is very simple. No need to go to service center.

AverageUser

That's awesome! I actually went to Samsung center in my city, and they told me the same - "Factory reset" and I was like "I already did it, and I'm not the only person with this phone to have this issue, it started after the software update" and they told me that they would check with other centres if more people had notice this issue and make a report on it.

Try posting this in Samsung Members app also.

Wired headphone has interruption with connector pulled and the wired wobble feels while you walking/running. It is better with wireless headphone, it is less hassle, But without any body movements wired headphone is slightly better.

DarRid

I asked GSMarena if they are able to check their devices and if they have a problem maybe write an article to escalate the problem.. I contacted Samsung support as well but they gave the answer "factory reset".. But when I told them I have it done they told me to contact my local service.. I asked them to let software engineers know about the problem because it had started after the update.. Lovely ladies promised me she would escalate it to the engineers.. So fingers crossed. It was live online chat so I hope that a supervisor checked transcription and it went somewhere..

AverageUser

True, not many people use loudspeaker for their calls often or have video calls at all. And they might not notice it at all because they blame the background noise for it, when in reality - noise cancellation should take care of that, but it kinda doesn't work... Also thank you for writing this here, if it wasn't for you I maybe wouldn't even figure it out myself.

DarRid

Battery is OK. August update broke noise cancellation / mic sensitivity during loudspeaker / video calls

How is the phones after 7months? Did the update make it better or worse? How is the battery life holding? I'm about to buy this phone so i wanna know from long users. Thank you

Those who wants to get informed does not call this phone crap like you do. They don't call it Zamzung either. You are obviously trolling.

AverageUser

Logic implies that the more you use your phone, and the heavier apps or games you run - the less screen on time you'll have. Also, this phone wasn't ment to be either a router or portable power bank or a gaming phone. It's quite easy to take any phone, turn on WiFi hotspot, bluetooth, location, have few apps running in the background while you're playing PUBG or Fortnite on max brightness and then complain that battery life is bad, and call the phone crap... You are either asking for a reason to spit on this phone on purpose or you lack the intellingence to understand, which is quite sad in either case.

AverageUser

Then we definitley do have the same problem! I didn't notice anything wrong before, but latley in last few calls I did. Not that much on regular calls on loudspeaker, like the one I mentioned when I was under the shower, but whatsapp call on loudspeaker has been really difficult yesterday while I was driving in my car. My coworker was calling and he had hard time understanding what I was saying, because he was mailny hearing the car engine sound. Now that you mention I also notice that it started after the last update... It has something with noise cancellation, or mic or maybe both. I hope they fix that with next update...

MladenJ

Sir, I ask real questions not only for myself but for anyone who wants to get informed from the actual users of this or any cell phone. and it seems to me that you are working in Zamzunga for solid money ..... Hello and do not worry ....

DarRid

Thank you so much for your reply. My case is when on WhatsApp or Messenger video call and water is running in the sink it's louder than my voice on the other side. Or someone is cutting grass outside and window is open that appears louder than my voice. Foot steps on wooden floor appear louder than my voice.. This sounds also become annoying on the other side as they go pitch high. It's not so annoying on regular loudspeaker call but also present. P. S. (edit) It wasn't like that before August update and I did factory reset after I noticed the problem but it didn't help I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for taking the time to check it.

I solved my battery issue with this phone. Just clear the cache and reset your settings. Then redo your settings carefully. Dont use adaptive battery setting Charge your phone to 100% and not less to reset the battery Im now getting 4 - 5 hours SOT which is plenty

AverageUser

I was under shower during the call yesterday and she did hear sound of the shower as well as my voice. I guess that's not the mic problem but noise cancellation. I cannot be 100% on what you mean exactly, so I would appreciate more detailed description if you mean on background noise or something else? Because it's not the first time I expereinced something like that during call on loudspeaker so I wonder if you experienced the same thing?

AverageUser

Yeah I see that there are people who understand, I mean this phone is what it is. It's not meant for everyone (like people who want a big screen). But if you want a compact flagship for less money - there you go. It loads big documents and heavier apps fast, camera is great and it's water resistant. I rarley use it for hardcore stuff tho, but when I do - it handles it really well, I do notice some battery drain, but it's nothing too dramatic and it still gets trough the day. Another perk is a good audio hahaha (AKG headphones + turn on the DolbyAtmos) :)

Yeah using the phone as a hotspot it will always have stress on it even in standby mode and I've used it on holiday the battery can last a out a day but about 30 % would go to hotspot buy it's always hot the phone then

You are astounding. You first came here weeks ago asking about using your phone as a router (which is really dumb idea considering actual router is cheaper than a phone, and you'll kill any phone's battery pretty fast that way). You also kept asking about signal coverage (like we know the situation where you live). You never had this phone yet you call it crap. You got loads of answers already, but still didn't buy anything and you keep asking silly questions. If you are a power user and want all the best - get your wallet out and get an S10+ or Note10+. And don't tell people how to use their phone just so they can answer your questions, and then you'll simply ask more LOL...

Using YouTube and watching movies barely drains the battery and you can get height sot time like 1 hour YouTube uses 8% on about half brightness But playing games and other stuff 30 min of pubg at max uses 15 % It doesn't throttle the performance much until you reach 39c But using adaptive mode the gpu frequency stays at the lowest and just makes it all laggy. And overall that mode is worse than optimised you get 2 hrs less screen time But when you play fortnite the phone can reach 50c (battery)and would not throttle at high on 60fps It shows some stuff is optimised and some isn't But without a case it is uncomfortable Using the camera gets the device up to 50c also but has been improved in updates recently 3 -4 hours sot if using camera Average screen time is about 6 hours battery average temp around 33 39 when heavy use prolonged heavy use hovers around 40 45 drops fast at 100 % to 98 and then at 5% to 0 it is completely dead In other smartphones the battery would normally switch back on when you reach 0 but this it becomes completely flat Exynos model

S10e > S10 in performance

datboidan

Actually, only difference is curved screen, resolution that imo does not play a big part for phones and there is not 3rd camera with 2x optical zoom. If someone wants to try android why waste 200 extra dollars when performance is the same.

F1rstman

I have a J6 that I use as a spare phone and just to play with Android. I have an iPhone 8 that I use as my main phone. When I play Spotify music on my J6 and I pause it, then turn my screen off and then back on again, the control panel for music on the lock screen disappears. Is this normal with Samsung phones, also with flagship S models?

Do not be confused, if you are happy using iPhone, it is better to stay with iPhone. If you wanna try Android, S10e is a good start.

I personally think that there is no audible differences between wired and wireless (audio quality wise). I can tell that since i'm using a headphone that can do both. I enjoy both modes, but since turning on bluetooth on both devices takes longer time to setup, i prefer the plug n go of the wired mode. The 3.5mm port will always be a nice feature to have

Great phone poor battery life. My S10e loses 10% during stanby. Today I barely used my phone and already went from 100 - 88% in 7hrs

Kenny

I will just leave a comment concerning battery and charging as my impression after a week of use. As battery seems quite "small" for many of the users, I have noticed the phone being able to get me through the day and having some 50-60% left. That being said, I am not a heavy user, so I do not doubt the phone would easily get me through with 20-30% left If I were one. I noticed the phone getting really hot when charging and after I downloaded and began installing the august update, the phone got uncomfortably hot. Too hot to hold. In the beginning I was bit scared, but I noticed the phone not getting hot anymore when charging nor when downloading small updates. I guess the beginning phase was due to the software having learned how to optimize itself and getting accustomed to the user's usage pattern. I can simply say that I am more than amazed by the phone and I basically see no downside. I do have to say the phone is overall bit more expensive, but when taking the specs and the performance into consideration, price is definitely more than adequate and reasonable.

Does the basics well coupled with s5e tab good devices battery ok in my book on s10e and s5e tab stop moaning reasonably priced in UK at moment better than spending a grand on an iPhone like the look of the Samsung a series also maybe get a tab or phone as backup might drop more yet offers !

branimirman

i was wrong...s10e i m sorry , you don t have bad battery life due to your specs...you push me trouh day with about 10-20% left with about over 4h ,4,5h of sot. that is after july update.. (bixby off,dark mode on etc battery managment..)i would wish if samsung's be a 1-2 mm thicker but with a superb battery life of make a 2nm exynos 12000chip which doesnt consume energy...i mean they got it wright with displays and one ui whats the problem in battery department????

Tareq

S10E is the most underrated mobile... This is the size what a phone should be... Very much capable in terms of performance and photography. It reminds me of Galaxy Alpha... symmetrical design.

AVN83

After 3 months and some useful and much required updates I can confidently say that this is the best compact device out there. Was really disappointed with the performance and battery life when I bought the device. But now after few updats the performance is flawless and battery life had improved drastically. I am talking about Exynos version. I can just imagine how the SD855 performance would be..... No heating issue. No battery issue No performance issue. Just a great, compact and awesome performer for me.

Absolutely agree (wrote about that here back in June I think), got mine (Exynos) in late April. Prior to that ever since SII every Galaxy S I've had was rooted. This one I didn't touch, just did all the basic battery saving steps. Not a gamer but a heavy user on data, not on Wi-Fi. With heavy use still gives 6+ hrs. screen time, sometimes more. With above average use I've seen 10+ hrs. of screen time. Pretty much every post I've seen here by people who have actually used (not heard or read) the phone give similar experiences. Yes, 2-3 years down the line when the battery ages performance will drop, as every battery on any phone does, but here and now battery life is much better than all the talk suggests.

This phone is the best Samsung ever made flat screen is back again and the size screen 👍👍 specs and performance excellent what can I say the best. thank you Samsung

Hurt my brain to read this much bad English.

Argentinianuserr

Well, I changed my galaxy note 8 for this phone and i have to say that was the BEST decision i 've made this year. I was afraid because I'm from Argentina and here comes with the exynos version, which i 've seen in reviews battery is very poor and the signal is low ( in argentina we have a TERRIBLE issue with it) . And guess what, i'm having an average 7 hours of screen on time using Instagram, YouTube, snapchat, the browser and taking photos . As you realized, i don't play games at all. I used to have 5:30,6hours sot on note 8 with the same usage. So, If you were afraid about the battery life, GO for it. It's not as bad as everybody says. PD: hope you understand my english, i didn't use translator at all because i want to improve. If my post is not clear, let me now. Greetings.

S10e is good fone .. 1 issu on the phone is battery.. moderate using as like you tube run only wifi 2 hour's a day and web browser wifi use1.5 hour's and musick 2 hour's and google map use in 4g mobile data 2 hour's par day and camera use 30 min par day and bitterness is 35%etc ..100% from morning 9am and used full day before 7pm thats means 100% in 9am and using phone and 15% have in 7pm if using all app on top writing in this page.... but if u play game than not run for hole day.. if u r using all app on top my writing.... I used s10e 2month.. that is my true review.. at present I sujjest all of mobile user if like Samsung flag ship phone than go for Samsung galaxy note9.. at present note 9 price is low and bellow the s10e.. s10e 580$ and now note 9 530$.. compare s10e and note 9. 1--S10e dynamic amoled and note9 super amoled.. s10e winner.for display.. 2-- HDR10+ s10e and note 9 HDR 10.. s10e winner.. 3-- full display no notch and no bumpers s10e note 9 have up and down little bumper ..s10e winner.. 4-- letest prossesor s10e and note 9 older. S10e winner.. Note 9 benefits 1-- note 9 have a ultra HD support as like blue ray 1480×2280 pixel but s10e support 1080×2160 pixel..winner note9 2-- iris scanner have note 9 this is more secure face unlock software.. s10e have not this facility.. note 9 winner.. 3-- have a big battery note 9 have used and 7 hours run non stop heavy game.. moderate use 1.5 day easily.. winner note 9 4-- note 9 have a pen.. this pen is really good and camera picture captured with out screen touch.. all micro soft office work done easyly and write easyly.. picture and video editing easyly done from this pen without hassles.. hand write use this phone.. more work done by note 9 pen.. So winner is note 9 5-- network connection is more good from other all of flag ship company phone.. Samsung company provide best networks connects in note series.. but this services start from note 8.. before note 8 series have a lot of problem.. after note 8 series samsung provide everything and total package in this phone this is note series.. at present note 10 is lunch.. note 10 is best and no1 all of mobile thinks as like mobile hardware and software.. note 10 update from 4 thinks 1-- display note 10 is dynamic note note9 super amoled..note 10 have a 120 to 90 Hz touch response.. note 9 have a 60 to 72 Hz.. 2-- update prossesor note 10 3-- full view display and display dots camera front and under display fingerprints.. 4-- note 10 have a ufs 3.0 ...ufs means memory read and respond .. note 9 have 2.1.. Iardwere write every think note series...

S10e also ufs 2.1 and display 70 to 81 hz touch response.. note 9 also same segment between s10e.. I sujjest mobile user who like game and all important app user and camera picture and others mobile facility and also mobile bugget for buying than should go note 9.. people say note 9 hardware old and old fashion look and not full view display etc that is not for issu.. if any one like mobile use properly than go note 9 in low cost at present and if any one like new mode not issu for money and performance than go s10e or note 10 etc.. Last issu is some one talk to me if note 9 is brought than how many years using properly and take android update officials and help from samsung developer.. than I talk to him next 3 years easyly use note 9 and take update next 2 as like note 9 have launched android Oreo.. next android pie already updated next more 2 android update will must arrive.. as like android 10 and android 11.. if after next 3 years android update officials take update that is luck.. note series special series for Samsung.. Compare to note 9 and s10e than winner is note 9 .. this is my oppinon and I was writing in this top why is note 9 is best at present time.. At present most of other brands as like one plus 1 and oppo and mi flagship and Huawei and vivo etc All of brands use super amoled display .. at present note 9 have a high configure accept hardware and looks.. 945 prossesor is good prossesor just different speed from 955 prossesor Only 18% slow speed 945 model prossesor.. this is not much more gaming and moderate using.. if 35% to 45% more speed have a new prossesor from 945 model than that is will good.. Next 4 years later prossesor will update and 50 to 60% more speed from 945 series..in future every years mobile phone will get update Please read this and don't take negative impact from my writing .. now I m using note 9 and s10e and one plus 7 and redmi k20 pro..2 month using hardly every day that models and every detail I saw thos phones.. total satisfied from note9 and stylish is one plus 7 and redmi k20 pro.. but performance is good but have a some issu from one plus 7 or K20 pro.. as like k20 pro issu is network and hitting and durability.. one plus issu is also hitting and battery drain and display brightness out side and similar looks from other brands.. My old phone is note 5 and s6 edge and one plus 3t and mi 5.. One plus 3t support from android update faster and s6 edge also support update os but after nogut android 7 update is last and one plus 3t Oreo android 8.0 is last.. From 2015 I was brought s6 edge and steel now run good.. battry support 3.4 hour's hard use and non stop.. One plus 3t use hardly non stop 2.5 hour's.. Samsung galaxy all of flagship mobile phone have a great quality provide that's why I like Samsung flag ship phone.. At present time 70% mobile user like update mobile models in varrient brands but they don't know other brands don't provide 100% mobile hardware and durability.. if cost is chip in latest mobile than u must be think something is low this phone.. good bye everyone..

So this is how you address me, every forum should primarily serve the well-being of existing and new owners of any cell phone. for the money invested. Personally, i prefer no brand but quality for the money. The biggest problem with Samsung 10 is the battery, ie desperate optimization of batteries vs software, here in the new updates they should have already done. Since 2005, I have had these Samsung D600, Omnia i900 (Windows), Pixon M8800, Galaxy SIII and these last three cell phones still work. So mostly Samsung and for my hunting i want quality, not superficiality with the battery. Great ...

The usb cable should also be of good quality. Do not use those cheap cables your charger output will be bottlenecked by a cheap cable.

So you don't even have a phone and you decided that the battery is bad? It depends what you consider bad. No, it won't have Note10+ battery life. Does it last me through the day? - yeah, I have around 3-4hrs screen on time and I charge my phone in the morning and I have around 50% of battery in the evening. Interenet won't spend a lot, video camera shouldn't either, but YouTube and IPTV will suck your battery bit faster, no matter which phone you use. I use mine for calls, social media, editing PowerPoint presentations and Excel tables, taking pics, sending emails and sharing files. And it does that job pretty good...

AverageUser

Look, I have this phone, I use this phone, I already rewiewed it as a good device. Guys on your forums are usually power users. Any phone has a bad battery if you're gaming a lot, keep brightness on max all the time and aren't closing recently used apps, or turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and another stuff. Use some logic... And you can't expect Note10+ battery life at this price range. This is budget version of a flagship, it has same CPU and GPU as the S10 and S10+ and same selfie camera and main cameras (except lacking telephoto) and also IP68. Which itself is hard to find at this price range. Now, if you want a perfect phone - then reach deeper into your pocket and get S10+ or Note10+. Simple as that. And if you want to use a phone as a WiFi router... isn't it cheaper to just buy a router? You know it'll take a toll on your battery, right? Plus, people can't know how good is your 4G coverage where you live, you could be living in capital of Croatia or as far as I know on some far island or up in the mountains. I'm also amazed how long you've been comenting here and how many questions you asked and you still didn't decide to buy or not to buy the phone...

Just be sure you are using a charger not higher than 9v, preferably just 5v or something that is smart charger (can auto detect to use 5-9v). Cable-wise, just use a good cable that has at least 2.1A.

It varies from country to country and from network to network. It also varies depending on urgency and also depend on the chipset. For example, the dedicated night shot for US has only been available on this August's update, while I had my mine available since the June update here in the Philippines.

I ask only for S10e users how many upgrades have been made since it was released and what are the improvements from these upgrades. What is the current state of battery life for you if you use eg. You tube, IPTV, internet,video camera .....

Have you realised that you are comparing a flagship budget phone to a flagship? Just like the iPhone XR is a budget version of the iPhone XS, the S10E is the budget version of the S10. In the budget version, Samsung has decided to make the camera lose a few features from the main phone to make it cheaper (it's a flagship budget remember). Also bear in mind the P30 main selling point is its camera, the S10E's is its screen design, the hole punch.

Unfortunatley, I did, and P30 Pro's video quality is laughable for the "king of camera". Seriously, at that price point it's just shameful to have so poor video performance. Huawei is far from being "The best phone ever" as you said, not most rugged, not the best camera, not the best perfomance, not the best screen... Huawei isn't bad, but they're far from the best!

We forgive your ignorance of the fact that you're statement is the other way around, not as what you said. The fact is that Huawei takes better picture is because it takes longer to shoot. Yet it still falls behind against the S10 in overall quality. The only time Huawei takes better picture is with using the zoom. As for video? Forget it, Huawei falls far behind S10e.

Very interesting comments and observations and there is no reason to doubt you. Are you able to please tell us what your previous phone was and what features are missing/changed that have upset you so much and why you find it difficult to operate. Whatever you say will probably apply equally to the entire s10 range and probably also to most newer phones currently being released. I for one would be very interested in your expanded report as it is my intention to buy either the s10 or s10e in a couple of months. If you had a different choice what would be looking at now.

You are obviously not meant to use a smartphone. All your negative comments about S10e are also present in other phones. And handsfree while you drive?

You didn't really say any real reason why this phone is bad. It doesn't recognize some bluetooth devices you say. If your phone is faulty, I guess they'd replace it or repair it. But if it isn't - then same as your old phone, maybe those old devices are obsolete? Lots of people here, including myself are extremley satisfied with this phone, therefore I doubt it that it's waste of money...

I found this comment difficult to read. I tried to understand as much as I could. I used my S10e to connect with my TV and soundbar via bluetooth... I even use SmartThings app to control my Samsung oven... because even Samsung ovens now have WiFi connectivity. Bottom line is that so far this phone has done everything it was supposed to do, and it did it flawlessly. If your bluetooth doesn't work properly then you should probably claim your warranty. And you are expressing great turmoil because of it here, and I cannot see why exactly except maybe because of bluetooth...

Tired of the BS

I am sorry, but it has been my experience that honest negative reviews are usually not allowed by review sites. Still going to give it a shot. I hate my new Galaxy s10e. It is not nearly as good a phone as my now obsolete phone was (old phone doesn't work with new and supposedly improved networks - Sprint changed everything so my old phone would not work anymore - so I got a different carrier - tired of the BS from Sprint). I have spent hours on the new Galaxy s10e phone but only mainly with the new carrier phone company technical support and still am going to have to take it back and get a different one. I will not mention the new carriers name since they have yet to do anything wrong and have not lied to me like Sprint and AT&T have. First of all, the Samsung Galaxy s10e is more difficult to use than my old phone. Why everyone thinks new and more difficult is "improved" is beyond me. I just want a phone to work right. This one will not pare up in my car or recognize any of my other blue tooth devices. It is difficult (maybe impossible) to set custom ring tones for each caller (was an easy way to block out time wasted answering most spam robo calls on my old phone). What is so great about this Galaxy s10e phone? I have yet to figure it out? Unfortunately, now the modern trend is to obsolete everything so you have to buy a new one every year or so. This phone is not any better for what I use a phone for (to call, get messages, and even text once in a while ). Just the basics and I would like to use hands free in my late model car so I can be more safe driving??? Is that really too much to ask? REALLY? All these stupid apps and other Google controlled stuff loaded on the phone my be cool to little kids, but in the end why have a phone if it never works right and the never ending solution from people is "you need a new phone?" I hate the fact that the phone is linked to Google and almost impossible not to be under the Google "control". Don't people realize they are being controlled and their internet searches etc. are decided by google and not by you? I don't need to play video games on my phone or be part of the never ending modern trend of everyone trying to sell me something else (does anyone do anything any more besides trying to up sell)? I am old school and would rather spend my money on something else besides paying more for the same features and services I use to have. How can people be this dumb? Depresses me that the United States is being dumbed down by overseas technology. From my point of view, the Galaxy s10e - What a waste of time and money. New phone, more money, losing previous features I actually used, harder to use in general.

Huawei P30/Pro only has optical zoom. Without it, S10E wins in all camera performance and it takes more natural colors. And the P30/Pro reviews never mentioned how ridiculously looooong it takes low light picture. Only one reviewer mentioned this and compared it vs Google Pixel 3 and S10. And by the way there already exists working Google Pixel 3 camera ported to S10 series both for SD and Exynos.

S10e because: IP68 Way better video quality Better selfie camera DeX (which I just tried out and it works like charm with PC) Small form factor (you can actually use it with only one hand) Awesome audio quality, especially with AKG headphones and Dolby Atmos turned on

It has zoom option in camera and that's about it. S10e is a flagship too. S10e will hold a battery for 4 days if you aren't using it aswell. P30 has no IP68 or wirelless power share, and P30 Pro costs twice as much as S10e and S10e still has better video quality, a headphone jack and DeX support. And S10e's side mounted fingerprint scanner is still faster and more reliable than any of those under the display. As for Face ID - unfortunatley for Huawei, but Apple remains the king on that area... Huawei isn't even close. "Best phone in the world" - what are you talking about, are you OK? LOL

P30 or P30 Pro. Camera is the best one ever. It's a flagship. Very very fast facial recognition and under-screen fingerprint scanner. Little notch. Gorgeous display. Big battery (lasts even 4 days without charging and using it). Best phone in the world.

Works like charm for me. But I'm in Zagreb. Zagreb is known for good signal. Also it depends if you're on A1 or HT or at some network like Tele2. In Zagreb - they all have really fast 4G. But in other areas - it's best bet to ask your locals about network providers, so you know which one has best coverage in your area.

Usually it defends on your signal and location also network provider

Works fine for me.... With laptop as well as with other mobile.

Can any of you who have the S10e test the hotspot on it, so connect it to another cell phone, laptop or tablet. This interests me because the S10e would serve as a hotspot for other devices. Please. some update so far has improved battery life because obviously the S10e is a problem between software and hardware.

S10e or P30? And why?

Ondrej

Hello, I can confirm that 4G reception quality is very good (compared to my previous phone Galaxy A5 2016). Both Wi-Fi reception and hotspot strength are good as well. I tried placing the S10e in one corner of my house and then tried to connect the old phone that was in the other corner (distance was approximately 20 meters with 3 walls between devices) and I had better signal than from my Wi-Fi router that was half the distance than the S10e. But the biggest differences between those phones are Bluetooth strength (5.0 has insane range compared to 4.2) and Location (Galileo and that Chinese GPS clone which name I don't remember make a difference). I hope that answers your question. Ondrej.

habib

It's good

Some guy

I have the S10e, it has decent connectivity, but mine has this issue where it struggles to scan for weak wifi signals (1 to 2 bars) and connect. Once connected it's pretty good though. some context: my wifi is pretty crappy, my old phone also had trouble connecting to it but it wasnt as bad as this s10e. Or maybe I'm just expecting too much from this phone cuz it's my first flagship. Tl;dr : It works well if the wifi signal is strong.

I use my hotspot all the time with my laptop and tv. I have unlimited data but towards the middle of the month it starts to lag. I originally wanted the note 10 but got the s10e instead. Still want the note but this phone is nice so far. I have had it for 3 months and no issues.

Ahh yes. I didn't mention it since I didn't use that feature so far. But I definiley plan on trying it out!

How is the s10e (exynos version) handles heavy gaming, or even day to day life using cause i've heard user before complaining about overheating issues. Has that been solved by Samsung? Ty

It depends on your location and the reception quality on that area. Try asking someone in you area.

Hello, I ask those who have S10e to answer me what the S10e is with 4G reception quality and WIFI and Hot spot, this is very important to me because I would use my mobile phone as a Hotspot for laptop and tablet.

Exynos or Snapdragon? Nice review by the way 👌

AverageUser

So, getting this device for 450 Euros has been absolutley best deal for me, and this is my long term review: The phone is amazing, especially the camera. Wide angle lense came really handy during my vacation as I managed to capture some amazing shots of landscape and nature using the wide angle lense. Other than that, selfie camera is also just stunning. And at the end, the video quality - stable, clean and smooth, yet very crisp. The AKG headphones are amazing as we all know, but Dolby Atmos has pushed them to another level meaning the sound quality is incredible, definitley top notch. Screen is also of extremley good quality, not greatest on the market but it's still near the top. That's about it for audio/video. The phone itself is extremley easy to use, especially because of it's small form factor which is a heaven for one handed use. Fingerprint scanner is fast and reliable, you can also turn on fingerprint scanner gesture features so you can look up your notifications faster - I definitley reccomend to turn on that feature. Performance has been flawless. From social media and youtube to editing Power Point Presentations and Excel tables - this phone just deals with all of it with ease. No hicc-ups or lags. Also, so far the device has never been hot to touch from these tasks, it only heats up so slightly. Software wise, I like the look od OneUI. It does look kinda cartoony but I find it appealing. It's however really fast and fluid. I also appreciate the features like digital well being (your screen time, number of daily notifications and time spent on each app). Device maintenance also works pretty well and it's easy to use. Another feature I'm using a lot has been the Samsung Pass (using your fingerprint to enter the app - something Google will roll out just now, few year late after Samsung LOL). Updates have been stable and regular (installed one this morning). Additional perks: - flat screen, so it'll be easier for you to use tempered glass screen protector - headphone jack - IP68 water resistance, so you don't have to worry about moisture, rain and can generally be at ease If you like compact phones - I 100% reccomend this one!

AverageUser

With such usage your phone will last for years, which is indeed a good thing! I use mine for Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat mostly. I don't use Facebook or FB Messenger. Sometimes I'm watching Youtube videos or using the phone for internet banking. Aside from that I use it for emails or document editing while I'm at work. My average screen time is around 3h a day. I usually charge once a day, I plug it on charge when my battery hits around 40% and I charge till it reaches around 85% or around 90%.

I'm using prism white one, it just looks georgous to me.

Aspok

If you are fan of Big Screen and infinity edge display and want some stylus pen go for Note 9. But If you don't need those and want a flat screen and descent compact to your hand then go for S10e.

Aspok

The Best Color for S10e is Prism White. I'm using Prism White variant.

Anonymous

definitely , I chose the s10e because I needed a work trouser pocket friendly phone but one that still had semi good spec...with my light usage I can get 2 days out of the battery on standby with an average of 5hrs 30 mins screen time to a maximum 7 hours screen time. But I am a light user, no games, no facebook apps, no Instagram, mainly use the pre installed apps, don't all background data usage unless I have the app open....sounds boring I know but it's literally just a phone for me

Maria

I always love the black one for a phone. Generally speaking, I think I like the yellow one for S10e.

Maria

Size does matter. Do you like small screen or big screen? If it is for phone, I love small one. If it is for TV, I really love big one.

Mignon

I would get the yellow one if thats available in your country. Because life is too short to not pick a color other than black or white

Hello, I ask those who have S10e to answer me honestly what the S10e is with 4G reception quality and WIFI and Hotspot quality, this is very important to me because I would use my cell phone for hotspot for laptop and tablet as well to personally test with your new one.

Oh and I also I'm on HDR and ultra graphics settings on PUBG but using 50% brightness display.

Could anyone tell me if my S10e battery having issue or is it normal. Because I've played PUBG Mobile for 2 hours from 100% fully charge and goes down to 55% I'm using Exynos 9820 CPU and received the latest security patch update in July.

MladenJ

Is it a typo or not ???? it needs 1.25 min. 20% charge so it's not normal and has a fast charger of 15 W. my current Xiaomi Redmi note 4 is 1.5 years old with a 5W charger it charges 100% for approx. 2 h. If this is true the nin it is a disaster from a cell phone and I intend to buy it because of other qualities but the battery or software is a real tragedy or shit. Thanks and greetings from Croatia.

Anonymous

Change your charger cable, it may already be broken or it is low quality. Or check your charging option it may be charging at just normal speed. S10e charges 0-100% at only ~1hr & 30mins.

s10e

in my case similar usage but the battery lasts about a day and a half and from some 20% of the battery it takes 1h 25min to charge up to 100%

Just above the section on network specifications you can see the different versions of the handset, you can select individual versions which will tell you the specifications for each individual model

Daniela

With gaming for an hour, watching YouTube videos an hour and other tasking it lasts maximum 12 hours. It takes 2.20 hours to fully charge it with a cable charging. If you are a hard mobile user this phone is not for you

Is this the exynos variant or the snapdragon.

And how much it heats up when used like that. Thanks.

Please give a truthful and realistic answer to how long your battery is using in 24: You tube, Iptv, camera recording, listening and watching the player and of course the internet. This is realistic for determining SoT and not other nonsense. Thank you.

NO radio in S10 series.

MladenJ

How much battery life you really need in a day when the screen is active, so looking at You tube, Iptv, radio, mp4 players, MP3 player, camera, internet. How it is on the S10e is what matters to me, not whether the screen is just on.

I think it was adequate comparison. With s10e you have everything the best from Samsung (best cameras, screen, CPU/GPU, memory...) while A40 has so much inferior parts you would regret your purchase. If you have budget for s10e go for it. If you can't afford it, go for A50 not A40. A50 is much better for a little more money.

Hello mate! If you ask that question seriously, which one between S10e and A40. Well, if your budget can reach the price of S10e, you should buy S10e. Otherwise, I think I will advice you to buy A50, not A40, because of its trendy fingerprint LOL

I used both S9+ and S10e and they are both great but S10e display is meant and is inferior to S10 display

S7 edge

He probably didn't meant this. The display is in any way (except bezels) inferior to S9s display cause S9 have 1440p resolution and 570ppi which means It is a lot sharper than S10e

itsAokay

That's something you can change in your Google settings.

Sebstin

When comparing with S9, this looks odd for me.. though its thinner than S9, I feel S9 is thinner than this!!!! May be because of 142mm v/s 147mm size difference?

Steve

Can someone please tell me if when you say hey google will the phone respond while screen is locked? Thanks.

AverageUser

It depends on preference. If you want compact water resistant phone without a notch - S10e. It has wireless powershare feature aswell. If you want better camera for photos - P30. Because when it comes to video quality - Samsung has the edge over Huawei. Also P30 if you want bigger screen. I had same dilemma and I opted for S10e that I'm using for a while now, and I'm more than happy with it.

Anonymous

Do you prefer bigger screen when you watch videos? Looks like that is the only criteria you need to be addressed. If not, then S10e is definitely the best all-around one out there.

MladenJ

Please give a concrete and honest answer only to those users who have purchased and use S10e. So my cell phone will be used mainly for watching You tube, Iptv, mp4, MP3, recording videos, I don't care about the photos. , Iptv and whether it gets very hot while doing so. Thanks.

P30

Maria

Honestly, I never try or have Huawei P30. Based on what I read the review and watch the video review, I think Huawei P30 has more value for the money.

Haz

Samsung S10e or huawei P30 ??

scorpio

Thanks for your reply. I am surprised that the display of the s10e is sharper than s9+ since it has a lower resolution or could it be that your s9+ is not set to maximum resolution? This phone definitely appeals to me for many reasons but I was concerned that its display may be inferior to the s10 or even s9+.

lordliri

compared to s9+, this is smaller, more handy and sharper display resolution, though it tends to get warm during heavy and prolonged pubg gaming. the battery life and camera shot is similar with s9+, i didnt note any major difference from the pictures taken both using the rear and front cameras. the only drawback i noticed recently is there is no update yet for VOLTE. it only has LTE only. means once am locked on LTE i wont be able to make or receive voice calls. this was the same issue with s9+ when it was newly released but I got OTA updates some months later which gave me the VOLTE (Voice Over LTE).

Maria

What I do not like in Asus Zenfone is its User Interface. It may be look similar with stock Android but it is just a look. The same with Samsung, it has no stock Android at all. So, personally, I think the UI of Samsung is more stable and clean because Samsung allows us to disable (and even uninstall) its own apps.

Maria

S9+ vs S10e: I do not talk about those phones technically, you can read the review here. Well, as you are not worried about the mAH, if the price is the same, I have no doubt to choose the new one. If the S9+ price has a big discount in your country, I will choose S9+. S9+ is still superb although it has less RAM and ROM. Buy Mi9 series if you are a fan of Xiaomi or you want to try a new value phone. And I think all phones can be used for three years and more hopefully LOL

AverageUser

More MP in your camera does not mean better quality image. Smaller battery - but also smaller AMOLED screen... it will last you a day for sure, even with bit heawier use (talking from experience since I own S10e). Again, motor camera is a nice gimmick that can backfire heawily, plus it makes it impossible to make your phone IP68 water resistant. My iPhone SE would still be alive if it had some waterproofing. Only good point is that Android is closer to stock Android so it is quite possible you will get an update sooner, but also not guaranteed. It is also debatable how much your regular consumer cares about updates. My sister for example finds them annoying, which is silly in my opinion. But I was shocked even more to find out that my GF avoids doing them as long as she can (she has that notification up there for months and keeps ignoring it).

Aspok

Go for S10e for the Dynamic Amoled Display and great camera and night mode shot at night also compact in hand and in your palm support also Samsung DeX that you can connect to the monitor screen. Ultrawide and Mainacamera is great. And it has reverse powershare. and now you can get this one for only U$D450 price for brandnew in 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM variant.

Ong

One more: Samsung in exynos version, I want to use this phone for at least 3 years

Ong

Help me choose between mi9/ s9plus/ s10e and why. Ps: battery capacity is not my concern

Ikelos

The 6 has 48 MP as opposed to 12, 5000 MAh as opposed to 3100, and the flip camera makes it the only current phone with a 48 MP selfie camera if you are into that. It also has a clean top as opposed to a notch or hole. And it is also closer to stock, so it will be getting android Q sooner.

AverageUser

Well, the S10e is much better bet in my opinion. No worries about motor of your camera malfunctioning or breaking. You have much better camera in general. IP68 rating. Dynamic AMOLED display. It supports Dolby Atmos and is coming with AKG headphones. Reverse charging is a cool feature aswell... Unless you want bigger screen - go with S10e.

Mr MMS

Please help me to choose between s10e and zenfone 6

AverageUser

I've been using this phone for 2 weeks now and this is my impression: Simple and smooth UI Extremley fast, incredible performance Awesome camera Fast and reliable fingerprint scanner with adittional gestures feature It has headphone jack, and you get awesome AKG headphones too You can put SD card or another SIM card No notch IP68 rating It is perfect size for one handed use Only compromises: Screen is not great, not terrible No optical zoom Hole on corner of your display (but it is still better than notch) Bottom line: I definitley do reccomend! Also, flat screen is much easier to protect with screen protector.

Bought this phone last month, and I'm very satisfied with it. Camera is good, screen is beautiful, you can even open two apps at the same time and do a split screen if the apps supported it. The short battery life is kind of true if you are a heavy user or play lots of games on your phone. For me, the phone's battery drop to 30-35% in a day, and I think I'm a moderate user. (bluetooth off, data on for 1-2 hour, wifi on, screen brigthness about 30%, vivid display off, bixby off, night mode on)

You wrote: not everyone like a curved display and a huge screen" I replied @Aksha because @Aksha want a bigger screen than S10e and "not curved" display. I assume that @ Aksha need a flagship and Samsung brand (if @Aksha do not like other brands). So, I suggest @Aksha a new A series of Samsung if @Aksha do not mind buying a mid-range phone. So far I know, there is no bigger display than S10e with "no curved" display.

RandomGuy

I personally find the display amazing, but I never had the Galaxy S6, so I cannot say for sure. Just, my opinion is that the display is amazing, but do keep in mind that I used the iPhone SE as my previous phone, and also all my previous phones were Retina LCD displays with not so great resolution. But I cannot see individual pixels, if that is what bothers you.

Battery life was poor until I turned off the adaptive battery feature. :D Now, with my moderate use, it can last almost two days. Location and 4g always ON.

Yes, you are wrong. Too many factor on this phone to show this is still a flagship apart from fragile curved screen. Same chipset, same IP rating, same camera sensor.

Hey guys, how the battery life performance from this device, is it better than the p30? despite the size difference between the two.

RandomGuy

I've been using the iPhone SE until recently. After my beloved iPhone SE met it's demise in cold water of nearby spring I went out to find a worthy replacement. So, iPhone XR costs about 850 Euros (or 950 USD) in my country and it's rather too big for my taste, and iPhone XS is just... insanley expensive! So, I caught S10e on some kind of promotion for just 460€ (or 510 USD) in cash. And I didn't hesitate to buy prism white one. I had it for about a week and I'm amazed! Amazing screen, really good camera (I love the wide angle lens), smooth and fluid performance, and best thing is - I can still use it with one hand. I also downloaded some cool wallpapers to hide that camera hole, but well, it's still better than a notch, and won't malfunction like motorized cameras. Good job Samsung!

If you are not a fan of those brands, I think you can spend more money to buy Huawei P30 Pro. If you do not want to spend more money, I think the best buy is Samsung S10e. And buy Xiaomi only if you are a fan of Xiaomi and its very good cheap original phone accessories.

Aspok

This S10e phone was made by Samsung to those people who want a small and compact size and handy.

RMC47

These numbers mean nothing, you don't see any difference during normal usage.

RMC47

No, it should NOT have 6 inch screen. That's why Samsung created it, because it's "compact" (by today's standards). I really hope they'll continue with "e" series later on.

RMC47

Excellent device. I'm using SM-G970F version which is International Exynos with dualSIM and 128 GB of internal memory. It's a pocket rocket, I made a huge research and decided not to buy any gimmicky new Xiaomi device and buy something "calm" that doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME!". Compact size (it's smaller than Galaxy J5 2017!), very good performance and excellent camera, especially after recent updates. The only cons are battery life (it's not bad, the phone lasts up to 8-9hrs of SoT while using it constantly but standby sometimes likes to suck the battery) and front-facing camera washes out face pictures, especially on poor light conditions. Even though you turned off all beauty modes and you see that the face looks normal on the preview, the phone post-processes it later and you look like an idiot. But back camera is gorgeous and I love taking pics with it. Also, the phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack! I bought the phone for around $550 and it was the best decision ever.

S10e much better

If you do not mind to buy "not the flagship" phone, you can buy Samsung A series (i.e A50/A70/A80). Or you can buy others than Samsung phones. Correct me if I am wrong, the flagship Samsung and Huawei phones has a curved display.

I do have a gripe with the phone's lack of a notification light. You know, that blinking LED that tells you there are messages you haven't read yet. I have to check manually for messages regularly. The salesperson told me that's the way it is with these full-screen phones - there's no room for that LED, which sucks for obvious reasons. Everything else is great.

How does the display compare to your s9+. On paper it would appear that the s9+ should be superior but perhaps in real usage there is little difference. I am undecided between s10e and s10.

What games you play what settings

lordliri

I got the S10e last 2 weeks after losing my s9+ bout two months ago. using this phone so far has been all joy. I didnt see the need for s10 or the s10 + cos they have the same specs 'performance wise. Yes I had to compromise and part with bigger screen and extra camera feature.. but I find the camera shots way better than my s9+ and my buying the s9+ initially was cos s9 was not really the upgraded performance i need. the s10e was built for me. powerful dynamo, superb sound and display and i only have to do one full charge to get me through the day. I havent done the usualy heavy gaming yet. so if you dont mind the one handed fit phone, s10e is just perfect with no regrets.

Battery optimization yielded lower scores because they lower the speed of your phone's processor, therefore lowering its performance. When you turned it off the scores increased because they run at full power.

Thank U for ur opinion....I have decided to go for s10e too..... today I visited an samsung exclusive store and got a live display of it.....and yeah it is more than good and camera is outstanding

Maria

In your case, personally I will choose the camera as the main priority because the display of S10e is more than good.

S10e

Question for S10e owners. Have you done Geekbench 4 testing on your device? First time when I did on mine, it was poor result (single core around 3000, multi score around 9000, render script around 6000). Then I turned off optimization of battery and managed single core 4447, multi core 10281, render script 9987. Does this numbers mean anything in real life using? On geekbench site, the second testing scores are pretty high, if not the top scores. I have Exynos, not SD. Can you share some of your results to compare? Thanks

At present I'm using Galaxy A8 Plus which has IP68 rating and S10e has IP68 but Oneplus 7 Pro doesn't have this rating.....But still my priority is Camera display and battery life....I have watched comparison video between these two OP7 pro has better display but s10e has better camera.....In terms of Battery life both will go same i think b'cos s10e has 1080p display but smaller battery and smaller screen size too and in case of OP7 pro battery is big and display size is big too and 90hz screen display will consume battery faster....Now I think I have to make a decision which will be my main priority display or camera screensize doesn't matter to me.....

In some ways Better processor Better displays dynamic amoled Newer more future updates Good design The bad lower screen resolution but smaller screen still sharp enough at 1080p better GPU performance No heart rate scanner Battery is smaller but device is smaller probably get around similar life You won't really need to upgrade to this cuz if your already using a s9

Maria

Well, In my opinion, I would compare OP7Pro with S10 (not S10e). But If you prefer S10e, this is fine. Well, I assume that both has a authentic warranty in your country so it depends on you, do you need IP rating (i.e. IP68)?

I have been using this phone for 2 months. I have never encountered anything negative about this phone apart from the fact that the fingerprint sensor is tailor-made for right handed guys only (i am left handed). I am a heavy gamer, and still the phone reaches almost 7-9 hours of gaming before reaching 10%. During non-gaming days, I can easily reach night-time with atleast 30% battery to spare. my version is Exynos, not SD855 by the way. Screen doesnt flicker and responds very well, especially that I use a different launcher (Smart Launcher). The camera is good, I even had good lightning shots during thunderstorms. Although as a previous Huawei P10 user, I think it wont match Huawei's photography lineup phones. Connectivity is fast, Screen visibility is good even in broad daylight. Charging time is fast (not as fast as 25W charging capable phones though). The colorway for all versions are superb. And lastly, the size is perfect for anyone's hands. I'm saying this as a Huawei-fan. I never knew I could find a Samsung phone that would pull me from the Huawei system. But here I am two months later. I hope you get my drift brotha. :)

Been 3 months since using S10e. Its great mobile as mentioned in review. Charging is quick and i get 1.5 days of average battery use. I recently broke the glass/cover covering rear camera, checked with Samsung service center, seems like entire back panel needs to be replaced rather than just the glass protecting rear camera.....any info if its the case??

From S7, if you're very particular about pixel size, you will only notice slight pixel presence when you use VR glasses. This is because S10e has lower resolution but bigger screen than S7. But other than that, it will not be noticeable on hand use.

How is S10e display compare to s7 or s6 edge ? This question is only for people who have allready buy this phone -

Maybe you maintain the charging time of it but me just and average for 1 day can last of my S10e exynos.

xhumdahil

I can't agree with this. My S10e is the exynos variant and it easily lasts up to two days with semi heavy use. Music, browsing and some games.

Maria

Correct me if I am wrong. Yes, the newer phones, no matter what the brand is, always consume their battery more, especially of you compare them with your old (i.e very old) phone. That because they are still using the same battery with more mAH and, now, fast charging tech. In the same time, we've got more fun and useful features of phone, such as dual camera, more powerful chipset, etc.

s10e exynos poor battery life can't even outlast my old galaxy s5.

No difference. It noted wifi improvement. GCam Night Sight takes better night shots now, not sure if because of this last update or the previous one because I had the same app installation and did not reinstall. But it is noticeably much better than when I first used it in May, much lesser noise.

What is fps?

I couldn't agree more. Finally I've got someone talk about the size instead of flat/curved display.

Koko

Would not call a smaller display size a bad thing, many people including me looking for a smaller phone and this is the perfect size in today`s world where all new phones are huge 156+ mm tall. If you want a bigger size there is the S10 and many more but if you want a "compact" phone there will only be this S10e (talking about new phones and not older ones like Sony Z5 compact etc).

Also better fps against S10 and S10+ by +50% to +80%

Anonymous

If it is not software-caused, then it is hardware. It might be specific hardware batch. So there is nothing you can really do except to restart your phone. But first, try apps that can monitor your usage. Heavy use on the processor, gpu or memory card would cause the heat. Anyway, based from my observation, S10e's outside metal rim does a pretty good job at absorbing heat compared to my previous phones that have have similar metal rim. So if the metal rim is hotter than the screen or the back of the phone then it means it is only releasing heat, but then the outside room temperature also affects the metal rim so it may be cooler than the glass screen since metal reacts to heat better.

Castle

The Best agaisnt S10 and S10+: -Lower Price -Besides the 12 MP for optical zoom the cameras are identical. -Although it has a physical fingerprint reader, this one is much faster and easy to find. -They both share the same core chipset (Snapdragon 855). -Flat screen. The Bad: -Smaller display size. -Smaller battery. -Some people may find unconfortable the position of the fingerprint reader (if you are left handed or have small hands).

eddykoodoo

Do not buy this phone. Basically everything is really good but the screen and colors are terrible.Specially in the low light the with turns to yellow is frustrating how horribles are the colors on this phone. Can't understand why Samsung force you to use the screen as al light blue filter is always on without the option to give the user the choice. And let me tell you the problen is not the amoled panel itself since iPhone and many other smarphones use amoled panels but the white and others colors are brilliant not filtered by this ugly yellowish always on mild blue filter.I don't know how to say but it give you the feeling of a damaged brownish yellowish old screen. Specially when you are close to other smarphones you feel the difference. Do not wais your money on the worst screen ever made thanks to Samsung stupid calibration.

Thanks for your reply Maria and for me your English is fine so don't waste too much time on your teacher lol. Anyway regarding size I am currently using s8 so screen size should be the same.

What I can say is that you have to restore factory to your phone, the problem has to be the exynos version.

No battery is 3,100mAh

Maria

Hello @scorpio buy or not to buy this S10e? If this is the only one you prefer, think these basic things before you buy. These may make some people disappointed with S10e: - the screen size of S10e is small. So, if you used to use a bigger screen (e.g galaxy Note) and you love it, do not buy S10e. Just like watching TV 48" vs 32" LOL - the battery mAh is just 3000mAh. I cannot say too much about this topic. It depends on the user's daily use. - the fingerprint scanner (FPS). It is a normal FPS but you know, the under-screen FPS is so trendy. If you are okay with those basic things, S10e is fine. Or wait for the next galaxy S11? Sorry if my English is bad. I am waiting for my English teacher here LOL.

Well for the phone u have is a really good chance to change to the s10e.

phoneuser

I just bought this S10e even though I preferred the size of the S10. Why? FLAT SCREEN. I have been waiting for years to upgrade to a good phone with Micro SD and FLAT SCREEN. I hate the curved screen. I got the Note 9 but sold it because I hated the curved edges and also it was too heavy. But the S10e is the perfect size, I only wish it had a higher resolution display and also a 6.3" screen, but other than that, this phone is the best phone ever made. S10 loses because of the curved screen. If S10 had a flat screen like the S10e, then it would be the best phone ever made. I hope the S11e will be the 100% perfect phone for the future. In the meantime, until that comes out I will use this S10e for being the best phone with a flat display. There are other phones like OnePlus and Pixel, but they do NOT have a microSD - deal breaker! Samsung, make your S11e with all the same features as well as only a slightly larger 6.3" screen but also a FLAT display and also a higher resolution screen. KEEP the headphone jack (or else I will not buy it). The 150 grams is the perfect weight as well, but if it could be even lighter weight I would be even happier.

phoneuser

Yes, the camera is better than the S9, S9+, and even Note 9. The S10e has a better camera than any previous generation of phone, and it also has the Wide Angle camera, a huge benefit.

Maria, because of your POOR GRAMMAR you accidentally said the wrong thing. What you MEANT to say was: "BUY IT because you like the compact design, not just because it's cheap." Please learn better english before trying to write public reviews!

Samsungs policy concerning Exynos/Snapdragon stopped me from buying this. Exynos is based on an old Cortex 75 and Snapdragon 855 is based on the new Cortex A76 Out-of-Order cpu. Off cource the snapdragon is way faster and way more energy efficient. It's a newer generation CPU than the Exynos.

if you only care about the performance and other feature, i would say go for it if your the kind of guy prefer a screen to be average instead of smaller screen then don't first

Maria

Hello @scorpio, from the beginning I advice to all that Do Not buy this S10e because it is the cheapest one of S10 series. And buy this S10e especially because the user needs/loves the compact size (by today's size standart, of course). Personally, I love S10e as well. I just understand that the user who ask the question is from Note8. Note8 has a bigger screen than S10e and I assume that the user used to use a big screen, instead of small screen (i.e. a compact size)

scorpio

Hi Maria why don't you like the s10e or is it that you simply prefer the s10. I like the s10e for its size and flat screen but prefer the better display of the s10. It's a dilemma. I'm due for an upgrade from my s8 in a couple of months and am not sure which way to go. If there are leaks on the s11 and it sounds like a real step forward then I may wait for that.

Anonymous

You are right. I am keeping my Note8. I did some research.... and I won't get a better phone if I upgrade too early

Maria

Let's say your Note8 is working fine and you can do anything you want to do with Note8. I could say it is not worth upgrade. But if Note8 is not enough for you right now, S10 family is worth upgrade. And I will buy at least, S10, instead of S10e. Of course, a stylus pen no more.

P30 and Pro's night shots are not spectacular. They win in dome shots, S10e also wins some. Plus S10 series captures more accurate colors. And wait for GCam to be ported to Exynos, it will trash the P30s. SD already has the GCam port.

It is possible only when we have such too many options available which ticks all the check boxes we need!!! Unfortunately, we have to take a pick from what is available in the market... e.g., smallest size with largest battery with other good features that you need (processor, screen, camera and so on...)

Great size what I am looking at, not smart and not ugly big. Sweet spot size. Battery is good enough for one day is old slogan for the price. I need 2 full day or big 4000+ battery. I don't trust battery savings mode from every company. If you are asking more than 200$ I need greatest battery. And I wish companies give what we want, not what they want.

Battery life is pretty good if you ask me (though like most phones, far from where it should be designed to). I haven't monitored a full discharge but if I extrapolate, I calculate about 6-7 hours of screen on time. Of course I turned off unnecessary stuff like always on display, facebook, things like that. I love this phone (size, display, options, headphone jack, etc)!

No it's not. Your comparison is way off. Removable battery is preferred because it makes the much easier to maintain. Just buy another battery and replace. 3.5mm jack is preffered over wireless for a variety of reasons: 1) it is more reliable, 2) it doesn't have its own battery, you can therefore use it continuously even for days or months, 3) it has no interference even if there is typhoon, 4) it is much easier to replace, 5) it is cheaper, 6) it has way much more selection, 7) the true highend ones has much better sound. Wireless only real benefit is being wireless, nothing more.

3.5mm jack is like user removable battery, eventually no one would as for it, for me that 3.5mm hole does nothing but collecting dust.

But that's the whole point, isn't it? I understand why wireless is/has taken over. Anyone who doesn't want cables can simply forget the jack is there. It doesn't interfere with anything. And then there are those who like the jack for a number of reasons. Turntables were practically forgotten species yet they came back, ok, they're not going to compete with new tech but it's nice to see that some "ancient" inventions still have their place.

I totally agree. And most people are still unaware that wireless charging is way more slower than wired with the same output specs. And wireless charging is not eco friendly because it produces wasted energy and gives out radiation.

Again, no disrespect but having both wireless and the 3.5 jack choices just proves that there's absolutely no need to discard the jack. Of course, new tech will always take over, oftentimes just to force us to buy more expensive gizmos, but I don't see how having the jack prevents anyone from going wireless. Having choices doesn't hurt, does it.

With all due respect, the reality is nothing like that at all. Nothing personal, I hung on to my rooted S5 because it was the last S with a removable battery. Finally gave up the fight, also decided to go unrooted. In a month and a half the Exynos S10e disproved all poor battery life claims.

Got mine on 24th of April, the Exynos version (yes, the one that's supposed to be a battery killer). First Galaxy I've decided not to root so no Greenify, no custom ROMs (kept my rooted S5, ResurrectionRemix 7.1.2, as my daily driver until that one silly drop finally killed it) nothing other than not using location, black wallpaper, disabling some useless (to me) apps and all the basic stuff. Never use Wi-Fi (with a 30GB data plan I don't need to) and even with heavy use it still gives me at least 6 hrs. screen time without dropping below 10% battery. With moderate use it easily gets to 10 or more. Why am I saying all this? To anyone, including all the reviews, talking about poor battery life - I beg to differ.

Stop using apps that modify your system core. It's more often than not the cause of intabilities. Leave Sammy apps alone, just disable them. I've owned S1, S3, S5, and S7 all oftem since launch date, but I have not experienced any instabilities. I am a techie by heart but I don't install apos that mess with the core. There are various ways to achieving the same results than giving apps root access.

Cable? Well, I am not Sammy fanboy. I think that it is not only Samsung cable but any brands cable have the same problem of yours.

Good advice. And, buy Note 9 only if you don't mind lugging around 200 grams in your pocket. It's heavy as f*ck. I have used both S10e (Snapdragon) and Note 9; both are great. Note 9 has great battery life too.

Samsung usb cables are crap. They break easily. the trick is never fold it, just roll the cable for storage.

Its a mess, im not using social media, just a few things, teamviewer, uninstalled samsung bloat, disabled thru devmode the apps etc. There is a bug according to xda that googlemaps notification is the issue. If you disable gmaps notifications you should be fine.

But the S10e defeats the normal S10 when it comes to battery performance.

Anonymous

I find my s10e BTU version to be quite good on battery life, I usually get 6 hours screen on time, even managed 7 hours once....If I use to normally which means I don't play games or youtube but use net, email, camera then I sometimes charge every 2 days. You can't really judge phones unless you're comparing like for like usage with exactly the same apps installed, so people moaning about poor battery life might just have an app acting up.....either clear the apps cache or uninstall and reinstall....sometimes apps just aren't up to date enough and the developers need to pull their finger out if they are asking a price for their apps....I admit the s10e battery is small but it's not the mess people say it is.

Steve

The reality is that the exynos version in galaxy s10e is very poor in terms of battery performance.

after having my s10 for a week, my cable charging unit doesnt work anymore, have to charge wireless, not good at all

Yes I also had the same problem with s10e , not a perfect phone I would say ,I sold it because of poor battery , heating and proximity sensor issue . Now i am using iPhone x and its much better

Your 4yr old phone's battery is laughable compared to the 20-yr old Nokia 5110.

Got this phone a couple of weeks ago. Loving it so far. Cameras are fantastic, screen is great, especially without the curves. Battery life is okay, I easily get full day without charging. For the price (530eur now) it's probably the best smartphone choice.

Disappointed after changing my z3c for this. The colours in amoled are awful, the battery life is half compared to sony what is 4y old and i have never changed the battery. The speakers are fine, the modded android is featureless, childish icons, extra store for galaxy items etc, the video stabilization is also awful, its distorting even with the antishake feature. My z3c made better, stable videos than this. Not recommending to any who wants a compact phone, the price is not worth. Id go for xz2c or a pixel3. Have to wait till they announce xperia2 or a proper flagship without fragile amoled and 2.5 display.

The heat issue because of Exynos? I do not think so, SD also cause heat issue and any processor can cause it too. Every single smartphones today is a small/micro PC, so the heat issue is always still there.

Anonymous

The pre-installed one is not meant for prolong ptotection, it's just there so we can immediately use the phone without fear of scratches. It's just the same as with any newly purchased item with glass, Samsung just made it functional in releases since a few years ago by using clear protective films rather than the glass standard with various prints on it.

Khuan

As long as it is a smartphone, has a CPU and GPU, no matter is Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon or Kirin or MediaTek, during the time you are using the phone or charging the phone, the phone sure will be heating. Just the temperature will reach how many degrees only. Why all of you so worry about the heating when your phone is within a normal and safety temperature?

Leopard

This phone is great and best of its size handy and powerful u can use of hand. Camera is great also the ultra wide cam. Only issue is heating maybe of the exynos.

There are plenty of apps on google play to help you reset the proximity sensor. I did use one of those apps on my huawei p9 and it worked. It's most likely a software problem that can be solved. If the problem persists contact a setvice center.

Right, not only increase heating but also bad quality plastic protector, scratch easily

So the phone comes with a pre-installed screen protector. Should I switch it for Copter Exoglass for instance. I read somewhere that the pre-installed one increases the change of overheating. Any thoughts?

My s10e has some problems with proximity sensor sometimes even after the call ends or running the call if I took it from ear the sensor is not responding the screen is dark and sometimes while talking screen is still on. Also the screen is suddenly on inside my pocket... anyone facing this issue kindly inform and what is the solution??

SweeT

I hate to say that because i love my S10, but usually Samsung phones are not great at recording loud music. But maybe S10 serie is better, still didn't have the opportunity to test that in a concert. The solution is to use an external microphone, or even only the microphone of the headset to avoid saturation. Worth a try.

Congratulations on your purchase at a super low price! O_O Dolby Atmos emulates Dolby Surround on the phone. It is noticeable in games, movies and music.

I just using s10e recently and have no experience with iphone 10r .. my honest opinion is s10e compact size just the right size for replacement of my xz1 compact , small and powerful, but i got the exynos ver and dun know sd ver is better or not . First of all the display really make me think sony screen are trash , speakers of this phone blown me away . with dolby atmos on or off , there's no difference i notice . Battery last longer than my sony xz1c , i think cuz i always using a dark theme and wallpaper 24/7 . Btw i always let the animation off from dev option , i think that affect my battery life too .. btw i got this phone for only 300 usd sec hand phone , still with warranty from carousell malaysia so it's so worth the money .

I do not talk about the specs/features. Many peoples have already discuss it. You can read it @ gsmarena.com too. Buy S10e only if (yes only if) you really love or need the small/compact phone. Do not buy S10e because it is the cheapest one of the S10 family. If you love or need the bigger display, you have plenty of choices, including Note9. And buy Note9 only if you need a stylus pen.

Maria

While all specs/features look the same/similar, the User Interface will be the final assessment. Well, personally, I admit I never use Huawei although I know Huawei is going to be the one of the best phone brands. I have used Asus, Samsung, Sony and Xiaomi. And you know what, I was Samsung hater so much before Samsung launched Samsung Experience UI 9.0. I am not a Samsung hater or lover too, but I love the now Samsung UI as all apps installed originally can be uninstalled, disabled and hidden. Even, for example, Galaxy Apps Store can be disabled and hidden (but cannot uninstalled). The bloatware is only Facebook app ans Microsoft Office app. That' s my basic experience of the UI.

I am not talking about the specs/features technically between both. You can find and read them here. Well, I assume that you never use Huawei and/or Samsung before, so I will advice you to buy the brand that are giving you a better deal. If there is the same deal, I will advice you to buy the brand that has more authentic service centers in your country and near your home, of course.

IOIO

My suggestion will be S10e. I saw many YouTuber making video comparison on both device. P30 / P30 pro may win on zoom lenses & dark/less light photos but how often you will be using the digital zoom up to 10x or 50x times & taking photos during the night..... While the S10e photos are much more balance now. Samsung phone still have an issue over exposing light but much better than Huawei for the color balance & stabilization.

P30 is exactly the same size as regular S10, even heavier... Buying S10e is only for size. Otherwise, for just 150 dollars more you can get the better and still compact S10

Moha

You Can always use always on display

Wol

Nice good to hear that. But about battery life: "Battery life is OK for a device this size and my use case, I charge every 2-3 days" That sounds very good but Do you actually use your phone? ;p The notification LED is indeed gone unfortunately. I guess Samsung choose to not put effort into making it possible on a bezel-less phone and relies on the always on display for notifications. All the more reason for hate towards bezel-less phones ; ) I know Sony placed the notification LED behind the speakers on some phones. There are settings or apps that can make part of your screen, like around the camera, to light up but are dependent on your brightness of the display and maybe won't keep blinking so long as a dedicated notification led would.

S10e

I recently bought S10e (Exynos) and this phone is amazing. Everything about it is great. Flat screen is great (my old S8 had curved screen and I hated it), looks are great, cameras are incredible, speed is great. Battery life is OK for a device this size and my use case, I charge every 2-3 days. I'm not a heavy user, I don't play high end games (I have PC and consoles for that). The only negative is I miss notification LED, why did they have to remove such a useful feature? All in all, highly recommend S10e.

Maria

The same answer. It is an easy answer. If you come from Huawei, it is better for you to buy another Huawei. Otherwise, you will have new experience with Samsung. Honor is just like Huawei.

Wol

Does size matter? The S10e is only slightly smaller. But for me this makes a BIG difference and would only go for the S10e but if you don't mind the size just ignore this ; ) By the way yes the S10e does not have a under-screen finger print scanner, but the power button finger print scanner is much faster. The placement however might be a little high, maybe test this out first

Wol

To everyone here that is also looking for a "compact" phone. What other phones do you consider? Aside from the S10e there is also the Galaxy A40 (low budget), Google Pixel 3 (expensive and mid range specs). These are recent phones with at least around 2 years of updates to be received. @everyone complaining about the battery of the S10e and advising the S10/+ instead. Are you sure the battery is not worse on those? The battery is bigger but so is the screen. I read a review telling how the S10e battery performed longer on the S10e compared to the S10 and S10+. I could be wrong but people seem to only look at the battery capacity and not other things

On the notification bar, hold down the POWER MODE icon to enter its configuration. Then you will have access to 3 power mode settings. You can hold down each power mode to enter the sub configurations, which also includes the option to LIMIT CPU SPEED to 70%.

I played some games in this phone and its great. It can handle star warfare 2 , respawnables and asphalt 8 easily, I use exynos version and haven't find problem playing this game. Ihavent try PUBG yet.

A good display which is hardly any different from the 1440p sets like my previous flat S7. I don't believe in the Edge screen which really put me off from upgrading to the S8 or S9. And the smaller screen should equate to better battery life too. The punch hole can be annoying at times, but definitely less intrusive than the notches of late. Overall, it's just a damn good screen to indulge at, and it's easy on the eyes too! Sound quality through the jack is a hit or miss, it's warm and more towards the mids. But there are plenty of audio enhancements to play around. Can't fault the stereo speakers though, great sound! The included AKG earphones are pretty nice and comfortable, and should be just fine for the majority, even for a self proclaimed audiophile like me. Dolby Atmos is just a gimmick though, and I was never into virtual surround sound. Processing power is more than adequate for the light user in me. I don't game on the go so the Exynos 9820 is definitely overkill. I haven't found the option to tone down the CPU power, which was available on my S7. Overall, the phone runs butter smooth especially with all animation off. Shouldn't be a problem for the hardcore guys out there. Camera is surprisingly good. I find Huawei cameras heavy on post processing. Samsung cameras seem to have the right amount. Auto focusing is a blitz! Battery is rather poor I would say. 2 hours of normal usage took away 20% juice. My Nokia 8 with the same battery capacity does better. Ergonomics is typical Samsung. Everything feels in place. I personally prefer the side mounted fingerprint sensor. Felt more natural even for small hands like mine. Facial unlock is ok, the Chinese rivals are way better. The S10e is all the phone you need.

Shaun

Nope, not at all. There isn't a difference for the human eye, we can't really notice it. Plus with that display and a slightly better battery and more efficient processor, you'll definitely get better battery life. I'm with my Galaxy S10e, and I absolutely love it!

Maria

That's why it is called S10e, e is for essential. The higher resolution of display may be so important for most peoples. I think those people know if they set the higher resolution display on their phone, the higher one consumes the battery more. With our naked eyes, we cannot see big differrences although it is diffrerent. Back to conclusion, this e is for essential.

Anonymous

I just moving from S8 to S10e. There's nothing any different in terms of screen resolution, my eyes surely can't catch up "less pixel" on S10e. Even it have more better sharpness and color accuracy where you can easily notice. Slightly better battery performance too

If you are living in the Nokia keypad (around 1990s above), the display of S9/S10e/even iPhone 3 is so huge. If you are living today, the display of S9/S10+ can be said as a small screen in the compact body. iPhone SE, for me, is a mini phone, and I am sure that people do not enjoy watching YouTube so much.

Small screen??? This is the same screen size as the last model, the S9, remember that one?

It may have the FM radio, but here in the U.S., the CDMA carriers (yes Verizon, I am pointing directly at you) disable the FM radio on purpose, so as to push a person to use more data, making them more money in the process. The FCC should stop that, but then again the FCC is OWNED by the phone carriers to do what they want.

I stand to correct my earlier post on the no FM radio. It appears there is a FM radio chipset in the Galaxy S10e and will work with the RadioNext app.

Based on what you say you should get s10e since you like headphone jack and Samsung os. Samsung phones have good display, good battery and also good overall performance. If you have more money to spare you should get s10 or s10 plus, they are better. But if not stick to s10e.

Maria

Hi, I am not so expert, if I read your story, I think that you are better to buy another Samsung mobile, no matter what people say about Samsung. New Samsung UI is lot better than TouchWiz. As long as you are happy with smaller display and compact body of S10e, this is the best choice. The main issue may be the smaller battery of S10e, but its battery is so equal with its display. Bigger display also needs more battery consumption. If you have little more money to spend, it is better to buy S10 or Note9.

Anonymous

Since you watch a lot of videos, you might want to think carefully if you want a bigger screen for bigger view or for portability. I also watch a lot videos but I prefer the portable package this s20e brings. And on the plus side, its stereo speaker is much much better than monos. It slso has a Dolby Atmos feature that enhance the sound to immitate surround sound. I came from S7 and can honestly say the experience is much improved

Sulejman1

Guys i need your help. Should i buy the s10e snapdragon or the oneplus 6t. Im not a gamer but i do watch a lot of videos on youtube and also a lot of films. The notch or the hole punch is not a problem for me except the headphone jack(there isnt one on 6t). Price is also not a problem since there is not auch a big difference.

Nice phone however I recently purchased the S10e from a USA cell provider only to discover that it doesn’t have FM radio capability, bummer.

If the battery is your most important consideration, do not buy this S10e, especially if you are a heavy user/gamer. Even S10/S10+, the battery is still an issue for some people, especially for Samsung hater. I recommend you to spend little more money to buy S10, of course if you are "Samsung only" user. Like I said, S10e is especially for people who love or need that size (i.e. compact, smaller).

I do not blame peoples buying this S10e because of the flat screen or any reasons...and please do not promote any other brands because everyone know there are so many other brands which are great value than S10 family. What I try to say from the beginning is that Do not buy this S10e just because of its cheapest one of S10 family. Buy this only if you love or you need a compact size (in today's standart, of course). Flat screen, specs and anything else are just an essential feature of S10 family. S10e....e for essential. Hope my English is understand-able and no mis-understanding.

Pushing my opinion....Same to you: pushing the flat screen. You even do not answer my question, which one is the best tagline to sell this S10e (just imagine you are seller or the owner of Samsung): S10e, the flat screen phone of S10 family...OR S10e, the compact phone of S10 family.

Somebody147

if you're just an average user that browses social and a bit more I'd recommend the s10e personally. if you're a power user like using excel spreadsheets on your phone or even just frequent multi-tasking while doing something else i'd recommend the note 9 because it has the bigger screen, a longer lasting battery, and the s pen allows for easier use of multi-tasking/more precise use of programs. I personally don't recommend the Xr but that's mostly because its specs really just don't compare to the note 9 and s10e other than processor which is kind of hard to notice in everday use.

Samsung brought back the flat screen to the flagship because people demanded it, and so resulted to your so-called marketing standpoint.

The flat screen is so ordinary, even the cheapest phone has it. It cannot be the seling point of the flagship.

S10e's size is only secondary. The main selling point of S10e is the flat screen, by a wide margin. We've been waiting for 3 years for a flagship phone with flat screen. Curved edge screen is too delicate.

That means you love a small (i.e. compact) phone. That's why you are satisfied. The selling point of S10e is the size with the flagship experience. The target is people who love small (i.e. compact) phone and or need that size. (Please do not reply my opinion by comparing this with other brands. It is for S10e, S10 and S10+ only)

Yes, it is not so big, but it is still smaller than S10. So buy this S10e if only you love a small (i.e. compact) phone. Do not buy this because it is the cheapest Samsung flagship you can buy, you will regret it.

S10 has much slimmer bezel, and only 7g heavier

TeS

Actually the size from S10 is not so bigger than S10e. And as S10 is only 150 dollars more expensive, i decided to buy the real flagship S10, better looking too.

I am talking about Samsung only in this page. Do not buy S10e if your reason is: you want the cheapest S10 series. Yes, this is the great value of the flagship. But you will be dissapointed. Buy this S10e because you want the best compact phone of Samsung today.

Ditch the XR from upur choices. Your choices for your budget should only be between Samsung S10E and Hwawei P30. Go with P30 if your main need 8mis canera zoom, P30 and P30 Pro have the best zooms with quality in the market. Everything else, S10E wins over P30. Also, P30 doesn't have 3.5mm audio jack and microsd slot.

Hello everyone. I will be buying new phone this week. My budget is 750$. I am very much confused between iPhone XR, Samsung S10e and Samsung Note 9. Which phone shall i buy and why? Please help a brother out. ps-I am switching from Motorola G5 plus, I know.

SliMShadY112

Ever since I bought the Note 8 I was highly dissapointed and after a month of use I exchanged it. I've been on Huawei ever since and wasn't sure whether I should switch to the S10E but I did...and I do not regret it, the phone feels phenomenal - easy and compact. The screen is superb and there is absolutely no lag on the software whatsoever. They've surely improved with One UI. It's got a bit of a learning curve but that's how it is with every new thing. The only thing that could be a little better is the battery life. I can get to the end of the day with about 10-20% battery left. Overall I'm very satisfied.

Anonymous

Anticipate your use. How long will you use the phone? Are you willing to compromise better performance for better camera zoom? Do prefer to use specific earphone models? Is 128GB enough? Hwawei can't use the standard 3.5mm earphone jack and microSD card.

If it is based on the main camera only, I am sure both are the same. S10e has the additional camera for fun while S9 only has one cam. So, if you are new buyer or want to upgrade the old one, I think you must buy S10e.

Yes for some regions. The website says it may vary depending upon the region. Regardless, it is not that good and you may want to replace it with something else.

I predicted 3 years ago that smart phone manufacturers are flooding market with large phones intentionally so that later they could introduce foldable phones. now they will flood some more and then they will introduce foldable compact phones so that customers are forced to upgrade to increase product life cycle. I guess every one will like 4.5 inch foldable phones which are expandable to 9 inches so their will be phase in 2021 where most will be forced to upgrade hence increasing revenues for mobile manufacturers mostly south asian countries. I see only 1 compact phone iPhone 8 & sharp compact powerful enough designed by Americans rightly so.

Unfortunately, Sharp seems not available outside Japan and sony looks like a brick... I'm also looking for a small smartphone (less than 140mm) ; Samsung Galaxy S10e is not that small but that is the best choice actually. IMO.

Between these teo, S10e wins easily, no contest. If you want the overall best phone, it is S10e, look no further. Also, there is already hacked Pixel 3 camera app for S10 series. But if you want the best camera at the expense of lower other features, go with Hwawei P30 or P30 Pro because of their optical zoom. But consider the fragility of mechanical moving lens.

Yes, that size would be nice. Probably not going to happen. Sony has likely already abandoned the compact flagship, nothing to replace XZ2 Compact. Either settle for something bigger or just don't use any smartphone. Or maybe the Palm Phone?

There's a reason why big companies never released a phone with lens implementation like what Hwawei did. Mechanical zoom has very fragile system, same withat the pop out canera. They probably do not want to be bombarded with RMAs when the time comes. Hwawei was too aggressive to show its technology that it can compete with pioneers. Let's see how things will workout for them.

When you're a gamer, especially with today's popular mmorpg, the higher resolution often gives you advantage because you can see larger terrain. Although it depends on the game how they implement the resolution.

S10 has slightly larger screen and higher screen resolution than S19e. It doesn't affect the visual impact, but it gives the S10e advantage in games and graphics apps. S10e has aditional 60-90% more frame rate (fps) than S10 and S10+. The telephoto lens only give S20 and S10+ slightly better blur/focus than S10e which is not noticeable until you have the comparative photos side by side.

Only two choices? If you are a "normal" user, not a gamer indeed, choose A8 2018. It is still worth the money although it lacks the fancy back 2nd camera.

Finally!!! a compact, one handed, full screen, proper flagship with no f.ck.n. notches! I have bought this phone (and ditched my old iPhone 6S plus, gave it to my mother :D) O man, this is such a powerhouse in compact, one handed package. I particularly like it because it is dual SIM. This phone doesn't heat up (someone asked this) O-hole is barely noticeable and non intrusive in everyday work. With proper "o-hole background" you don't even see it. The only downside is that battery cannot last 2 days with dual SIM setup. Samsung guys CHEERS, you nailed this one!! In my modest opinion this phone is worth every cent. Its no brainier if you look in the past and figure out Samsung changes design every two years. You can buy S10e now and you are good for next two years easy. Best regards from Belgrade

Lee

I have not been a Samsung fan since the S6 Edge came out and I never really liked the S8 or S9 curved display. Love the look but not the experience - I owned both and got rid of them ... but I just picked up a new S10e and I have to say I am really liking it so far. Lots of power, good ram, expandable storage, excellent cameras - not perfect but very good, and no notch and no curved sides. Hopefully Samsung gets better at keeping their phones updated .... So far it is a keeper ....

TeZ

I have S9 which is great. But S10e has the same screen size of S9, more compact, no notch, 2 back cameras, faster processor, better battery...etc. S10e is much better and i will change my S9 for S10e, after three months when all the inevitable bugs have been discovered and fixed.

If you hate or dislike a curved design, it is okay. It is the state of design only, not related with performance.

Wait till 10th April for new A line up......perhaps something more affordable in compact if not go 10e

In benchmarks scores S10 has about 0.0005% higher than S10e. But when it comes to actual gaming or onscreen graphics rendering, S10e is about 80% faster/higher than S10 and S10+.

So far I know, the SD version is only in the US and maybe, some European countries. If another countries who get the only Exynos version and have heat problem, I am sure half of the world would block Samsung sales.

Yes. S10 and S10+ only have better blur/depth of the background for live focus than S10e. Even the extra selfie camera of S10+ only serves as the same purpose. So overall, S10e has the best advantage in frames per second on games because of its lower resolution. To sum all, all internet reviews, S10e is indeed the best S10 variant.

Oh one more thing, my friend has S10. He said that his phone can only shoot live focus in portrait mode. But this S10e can shoot live focus in either portrait or landscape mode becsuse it uses the wide angle lens.

Anonymous

Yeah, with 3 cams at the back would have made this phone perfect. But they probably did it as it is to make the difference more justifiable and to lower the cost more. But really, it's not a big difference unless you frequently use zooms. But always remember that mechanical/optical zoom has moving parts, so that's another hardware to take extra care of.

Samath N8 808 owner

I totally agree. One strong reason that goes in favour of S10e is the resolution (I'm still on a 720p phone, let me tell you and my wife owns one with 1080p screen). Now, I'm scouting some second hand S10 from early buyers, but I wish S10e had 3 rear cams, that would've sealed the deal for me... By giving 2 cameras, Samsung kind of crippled it. That too instead of tele cam, they chose wide angle, which is a cheaper camera... given no autofocus & its quality. (One reason could be to differentiate from S9+, just my guess though)

Samath N8 808 owner

As I said before, S10e's lower screen resolution, against S10 and S10+, IS A PRO, not a con. Check out the review here and see that Galaxy S10e wins in graphics benchmark fps against S10 and S10+. S10e = 57 VS S10/S10+ = 37 ------------ S10e = 40 VS S10/S10+ = 23 ----- S10e = 20 VS S10/S10+ = 13

Samath N8 808 owner

To some extent, yes you're right.. Exynos obviously has better single core performance which is more noticeable in day to day tasks. But what if a gamer wants a Samsung? He always won't get enough fps because the screen has 5 megapixels, plus even the GPU is inferior to SD... We still can't conclude that Samsung will favour a region. If I remember, even the last gen Exynos was capable of 4K @ 120 fps camera recording (at an unknown quality level), but that didn't happen due to "equal"-istic reasons. Plus, using SD in USA is due to a 25 year old agreement or something, I once read.

Whether you believe it or not, Samsung was way ahead of you. Do you think they are willing to give only one region all the advantages of the unit leaving all other regions complaining that they got the short end? I don't think so. But if they ever have bias on giving a region the better deal, no doubt it will be given to Asian countries with South Korea obviously given the priority.

Samath N8 808 owner

Ok. Accepted your point, hoping your info is correct. Even then, we're at a point where we can just say that "each chipset has its own merits." Although my opinion is that in such phones, GPU matters the most which puts the Snapdragon ahead. Today's displays can display more colors (10 bit as opposed to 8 bit), and more pixels (5 Megapixels in a 2K Screen). So, GPU starts gaining importance specially with increasing gaming and graphics/ app requirements.. What's multitasking & general processing in comparison, even Snapdragon 636 does that well enough... So, SD855 can't be bad...

I also came from S7. This S10e shoots better pics in low light than my S7. Try setting your pics to the highest resolution so that it will capture more detail and when you resize the pics they will have sharper image.

It does, there is one version that exists with 8gb ram/ 256gb storage, no idea why gsmarena defaults to that version though especially when it isnt even available everywhere.

DatUtter

Yes 128GB version has 6GB and the 256GB has 8GB

DatUtter

No notification led what I know of. I use always on display.

DatUtter

Only digital but it's not bad, the second lens is wide angle and it's really nice to have.

No optic zoom (does not have the telephoto camera like S10 and S10+). No notification led.

Star-Lord.be

Question. Does this one have a notification led? Or do you have the use the always on display to see something? I read that there was some circle around the camera in front that lights up when you have some incoming message/notification.

Sampras40

hi! Does anybody knows s10e s has optic zoom feature or not? Thanks..

Why does it say 16MP? The super wide lens has 16MP yes but the main camera (26mm) still has 12MP! I think this is a bit confusing

ILoveEeEe

So likewise for Kirin is meant for Huawei only

Wowowiwow

I thought this had 6GB of RAM?

Maria

Most current phones are using non-removable battery just because it can make phone slim. That's it.

Maria

No one say that Exynos is better than SD. When comparing both in the same level of chipset, SD is better than Exynos. Exynos is designed by Samsung so it is fully fit for Samsung mobile phones exclusively. No one can see how they are so different, particularly in battery performance. They may be just little different in graphic performance.

scorpio

Great thanks.

Exynos version's memory is 33% faster than SD's. That wide speed difference becomes more and more noticeable as S10 learns the user's usage behavior, especially in heavy use and multi-tasking. Benchmarks won't show this performance difference because no one uses their phone exclusively just for benchmarks.

Bummer that 8GB/256GB is only available in the US SD855 version. I live in the US, but will only consider the Exynos version. I would have paid the extra $100 for more storage & RAM, but I guess I'll just be happy with the upgrade over my Exynos S7. And that the S7 form factor/flat screen is back in play. Samsung, if you're reading this site, I would also have paid the extra $ for a 1TB version of the Exynos S10e. :)

SDM is better than Exynos in GPU power but CPU power imo Exynos and SDM are the same.

The higher MP doesn’t mean better camera

Most battery able to last 2 years, that the time most user replace their phone with new one, So there is no need to have user removable battery, anyway it's not a difficult task for a technician to replace the battery, unless you stay in a very backward country where is difficult to look for a trained technician.

SarruKen

He doesnt know what he's talking about. The exynos 9820 is just like the last year's, a unoptimized mess with a bizzare architecture. I've tested the exynos version inside the s10e, and to my stupor, the phone lagged and freezed in the ui and the stock apps. Immediately thought that this may be caused by thermal throttling, either because of the battery or the cpu, so I tested this in a cpu stress app. Indeed the cpu throttled to 500 MHz on the m4 cores and to 1.8 GHz on the other cores after not even 10 seconds, as the cpu temeprature raised to over 60°C ( the temp sensors werent working or couldnt be read by the app though, but this is the standard throttle temperature ).

What's there to prove? Snapdragon now has 12.5% lesser power footprint due to 7nm vs 8nm, plus the GPU is stronger on the Snapdragon which is a main requirement for a flagship. Although, Exynos leads in single core performance for now, but that's just one thing. Only Snapdragon 810 proved to be a disaster due to overheating issues, but what else? Also earlier, Exynos variants were stuck on 3G, whereas Snapdragon had moved on to 4G, for example, with Galaxy S6. Plus, SD has FM radio now. With the programmer's support too, I think its all glory for SD now.

The builtin battery is actually intentional to make us buy repeatedly. Just the same reason the made the release of flagship phones annual release, it used used to be every 2 years.

Anonymous

Samsung and all companies if you make all your mobiles with removable batteries you will sell more mobiles because many people are afraid to buy mobiles with non removable batteries which are difficult to change when expired .

Anonymous

Battery must be 5000 mA at least and must be removable to change it easily when expired.

Anonymous

All cameras must be 25 mp at least

Snapdragon has never been as good as Exynos. Prove me wrong

Forto

When it comes to battery performance exynos is better. But I’d rather go for gaming performance and sd is always better than exynos by far on this.

Aadrian

S10e is a much better deal than iPhone XR.

cynicalistic

I dont undertand, what I know is snapdragon has two suppliers either by qualcomm or by exynos, is my information correct?

Design is compact....this dimension should be introduced to budget phones also...waiting for it

Negative, Snapdragon is much better than Exynos and by far

Adul Al Salami Kebab

Only S10 variant worth to buy.

paul

i am very impressed with this phone in all aspects and I am glad samsung put a pre installed screen protector that you wont hardly noticed!

Ivo

Battery last only 7-8 hours in normal use Last phone S7 EDGE battery last double.

the_wing

Thanks PA7. I think I'll go with Exynos then. As I will buy from EU, it'll make thinks alot easier.

Maria

Overall, SD is better than Exynos. But when the chipset is combined with Samsung phones, Exynos is better than SD particularly in the battery performance.

Maria

In my opinion, if you come from the previous Galaxy flagship, at least S8, it will waste money by buying S10e or even S10/S10+. I do not say that S10 series is bad/worse than before, they all are the best in this time. The s10 family is only for people who still have S7, S6 or the non flagship one.

wadia13

Thanks. But many/most on that list are either 1) already discontinued, 2) not that compact, 3) not flagships to begin with, or a combination of those attributes. I'm talking about who is still making compact flagships right now. Pixel 3 - yes. Samsung 10e - yes. Even Sony seemingly has left the building as there is yet no successor to the XZ2 compact.

Anonymous

I came from S7 flat. It has almost the identical size of this S10e. S7 has much higher resolution ang smaller screen size, so it has much higher pixel density or PPI than S10e. I also use VR glaases. I can trll you that there is no visual pixel difference since this is not as big as computer monitors are.

scorpio

I do like this phone with it's flat screen and same size as my s8. I want to see it side by side with an s10 to compare both screens to see whether there is much difference in the resolution before making a decision. If only both phones had the same screen the decision would be far simpler. I wonder if anyone has taken the trouble to compare them.

timbersaw

actually tbh i left samsung phone since s6 edge, because i prefer dual app n sim support phone. i moved to huawei and xiaomi but since i heard nowaday samsung already introduced the dual apps support,im with no hesitate to move for samsung phone but eventuallly battery kinda bad.but no worries it does support fast charging. for me battery management still bad compare to my xiaomi flagship with bigger capacity.

Peteraven

Not really the Chinese manufacturers don't know how to do a "compact " phone. Kind of ironic Chinese people height average are short in comparison to Europeans and americans? So in average they should have shorter fingers but they like enormous screens!??! It's ironic really!

TrE

Same screen size as my S9, and more compact. Definitely my next phone. And it is true that flat screen are easier to use. I bet the chineses will soon launch a compact phone when they see the success of S10e

WirelessWonkFL

The Galaxy S9 actually has better screen resolution & higher pixel density than the S10e, which lacks WQHD. Not a deal breaker for me though. At 150 grams with 5.8" display and insanely fast chip, I really like this new Galaxy.

Underhanded move Samsung.... only 3,000mAh

techSRB

Waiting for the review of this beauty... Really looking forward to a manageable flagship. I really don't understand why are we forced into bigger and bigger screen sizes... people who purchase these phones obviously have enough money to own a computer as well, or at least a tablet...

Ralph73

I support. Similar information. On all programs 3000 !!! I tested other phones, it shows everything correctly. Samsung is cunning ... Even here they managed to deceive.

Anonymous

Can anyone confirm that this S10e indeed has 3,100mAh battery? My Exynos international version only shows 3,000mAh in any app I check.

Anonymous

I feel should been priced at $500 since lower model smaller! $1000 to steep!......

the_wing

Would love to see a comparison between the Snapdragon and the Exynos version... I don't care about performance (in my opinion the two SoC perform so good that only the benchmarks will notice a difference), but I'm much more interested about how the two guys handle the power consumptions. I already know from other devices that the SD 855 has an unbeatable performance/ power consumption ratio, but the question is how far will Exynos lie behind it.

S10+ has better benchmark score than S10e by less than 0.05%.

simplykemo

Best phone ever!!!

Anonymous

Sry my bad. It is called Adaptive Battery and no, it is not enabled by default - you have to enable it in settings. That is why I am asking.

Anonymous

"I missed nothing from the S10+ after testing the S10e for a week. If anything, I'm super annoyed that Samsung blessed the S10e with a fast and reliable fingerprint sensor and saddled the S10 and S10+ with an inferior in-display fingerprint reader."

Anonymous

S10 is better by less than 0.05%. I saw a comparative score, I just forgot which benchmark app but the S10e score 10,300+ points while the S10+ scored 10,700+, so S10 should be lower.

Had it since launch and it a step up from my iPhone 7 nice size oled screen good also dimensions wise same as Samsung s7 think this going to be my daily driver from now as price was a factor and features Apple was good but too expensive and features are behind the times .there screens let them down lcd and no usb C .samsung why do we not get Qualcomm chipset in Europe ? This would be a good 5 g handset it already dual sim like the return to flat screen also got a good case from iblason to protect it only you got to get from amazon USA world shop not available in uk yet iblason supacase it good have used these since otterbox got too expensive iblason on amazon recommended s5e tab will probably be my next purchase ?? Price a factor??

Price-wise, yes, better than all those three.

Buy a s10e instead of note 9.

Aside from Samsung with this model and Apple, who is still making compact flagships? Anyone?

Can we please get a review of this phone? Thank you.

i went from iphone 7 to samsung s10e - (i dont like notches on iphones). This phone is fantastic.

is it big you think compact??

The Nano Fixit warranty bundled with this unit is a scam. An app is needed to register the insurance. After it got my personal detail it won't ket me register the number on the scratch card. It says invalid card ID. They will probably just use the email address to bombard us with ads. 😡

miss-priced phone!

The phone *can not* be priced $150 less than the S10 which adds: 1. Bigger and curved screen 2. Newer gorilla glass (6 vs 5) 3. Better fingerprint reader (and better location) 5. More RAM memory 6. Extra rear camera 7. Bigger battery Those features should make at least a $250 difference. If you ask me I'm pretty sure Samsung makes much higher margins on the 10e. I expect a price drop for this version if sales will be slow and I don't see who will go with this version with that price difference unless they strongly prefer the smaller size.

GalaxyUser

Galaxy S10e is much better alter of OnePlus and iphone XR.

You mean triple slot Go with mid range device. They have dual sim+expandable memory. Only Samsung provide Hybrid Sim option flahship with a headphone jack. Samsung listen to their Customer. They also dropped Notch

can confirm ~5 hours heavy usage of app install, messengers, photos, video recording, youtube. screen 50% brightness on auto dim, lte, wifi on. gps, nfc off. I'd say in reality at least 50% better than my old S6.

Ralph73

Hello! I do not know what turned off, but now in standby mode at night (from 01.00 to 09.00) loss of charge was only 2%. Hooray!!! Just fantastic! So the whole thing in the software. We are waiting for updates ...

"s10e having a 3100mAh battery it is more than enough" 5 hours of SOT from mobilarena.hu and 7 hours test running at the phonearena.com's battery benchmark.

nickbino1

as a user i would say i am a heavy user. i use my phone alot throughout the day. whether its for college, work or just just general use. i use my phone quite alot. and yes the battery on the note 9 is significantly bigger at 4000mAh but it also has to be able support that screen size. with the s10e having a 3100mAh battery it is more than enough

Osman02

Are U a heavy user or Just normal user

Osman02

Thanks for replying How is the battery and the reason I want to go for the note 9 is the battery

nickbino1

i had gotten this phone yesterday and all i can say is finally! i am not a fan of the phablets. I truly enjoy the smaller phones. this phone is perfect for me in every way. it truly packs a punch in all aspects. the model i have comes with 6gbs of ram and 128 gbs of storage. the battery life is great will easily last all day. and the quick charge is amazing as well. feel free to reply here with any questions :)

nickbino1

not at all. at first i felt it would have but how samsung has worked with the "holepunch" camera is perfect because it doesn't effect any aspect of use

nickbino1

for me so far it has been great. the fast charge is crazy. i jumped from 49% to full in about 40 minutes.

nickbino1

depends on how big of a screen you want. i got this phone yesterday so any questions you have just let me know

When will Samsung S10e launch in Pakistan?
