Samsung Galaxy S10e review

Samsung's Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus are joined with a new entry into the Galaxy S family -- the Galaxy S10e. It costs a little more than the original price of the Galaxy S9, but it's meant to be the more affordable phone compared to the rest of the...

Perfect 5.8-inch size ; Great display ; Smooth performance ; Fun camera ; Clean, easy-to-use software

The feature-rich Samsung Galaxy S10e proves smaller is sometimes better

Samsung Galaxy S10e vs. Apple iPhone XR

The iPhone XR and the Galaxy S10e are Apple and Samsung's solution to a problem they created. Not rich enough to afford our $1000 flagships? Here's a...

Samsung Galaxy S10e review

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is like a breath of fresh air in a world of behemoth smartphones with enormous displays. To be honest, we didn't expect Samsung or...

One of the few compact flagships out there.

Fingerprint reader is placed inconveniently high.

So this phone is not without its shortcomings. But do we recommend the Galaxy S10e? In a heartbeat. We see it becoming one of the best value high-end smartphones shortly, once the price starts to drop. As long as you don't care about those over-the-top...

Samsung Galaxy S10e review: Smaller, but not lesser

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

Affordable by S10 standards ; Excellent performance ; Great trio of cameras ; Much-improved software ; Great for one-handed use

Underwhelming battery life ; Questionable fingerprint sensor placement ; What is the point of Bixby?

Galaxy S10E: The best value Galaxy S10 is worth your money

This value-buy powerhouse does a lot right and very little wrong.

A dream come true for value shoppers who love small phones. The Galaxy S10E shares the S10's core camera and Snapdragon 855 chipset, so photos and speed are excellent. Battery life and wireless power sharing are also spot-on. Its fingerprint reader and...

Lefties and people with small hands may find the fingerprint reader placement a tad inconvenient. The indented shape makes taking screenshots feel odd.

The Galaxy S10E is a terrific value for a compact, powerhouse phone, although it can't beat the OnePlus 6T's $550 price.

Samsung Galaxy S10E review: short, not shortchanged

Samsung's smallest Galaxy, the S10E, proves that bigger isn't always better and that it may be time for other phone manufacturers to start making tinier flagship devices.

Better fingerprint sensor than bigger S10s ; Great size ; Most bang for your buck

Niche features like Bright Night and wide angle selfie not as good as Pixel’s ; Screen layout can be awkward and disproportionate ; Battery life could be better

If you’re looking for a good, small Android or one that isn’t uncomfortably close to a thousand bucks, this is a phone that I think most people will enjoy without sacrificing much in quality. Smaller and cheaper doesn’t have to mean worse, and I think...

Samsung Galaxy S10e

The Samsung Galaxy S10e has the best overall price, performance, and size for a flagship smartphone today.

Amazing screen color and clarity. Industry-leading processor and modem. Wide-angle camera. Headphone jack. Just the right size for most hands.

Low-light camera performance not as good as the Google Pixel 3. Fingerprint sensor could be more accurate.

I am biased. I prefer phones that actually fit in my hand, and if anything costs over $1,000, it better have a really good reason to do so. The Samsung Galaxy S10e has all of the key aspects of the S10 series: an amazing screen, a fast processor, a...

Samsung Galaxy S10e Review

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is a phone made for the most neglected type of users in the past couple of years: those who prefer a smaller phone. The S10e finally brings for them a flagship Android experience with no compromise...

Beautiful design with water protection; Impressive screen quality; Plentiful storage in even base model; Fast (but not smooth); Very good camera (but not quite the best)

Bixby; Side fingerprint scanner is not as good as a rear one or as Face ID; Gesture navigation does not feel perfectly refined; A bit too pricey

Samsung Galaxy S10e review: Better biometrics and ergonomics than the S10 Plus at the cost of battery life Review | ZDNet

The Samsung Galaxy S10e may be the best new Samsung phone for the masses with a reasonable price, small size, excellent cameras, and more. The flat screen and fingerprint scanner may even make it more appealing than the high end S10 Plus.

Gorgeous display with no curved edges ; Small, pocketable form factor ; Capable dual rear cameras ; microSD, 3.5mm headset jack, wireless charging ; Wireless PowerShare capability ; Responsive side capacitive fingerprint scanner

Average battery life

Samsung Galaxy S10e review

The Samsung Galaxy S10e packs great performance and a vivid display into a compact design for an affordable price

But those phones also cost considerably more. The bottom line in our Samsung Galaxy S10e review is that for the price and size, there's still nothing available that touches it. If you're dismayed by Apple's decision to discontinue the iPhone SE,...
