@@Anil75987 not really, touching it while it's open won't do anything, it's a physical button with fingerprint sensor. You need to click it to lock, restart, turn off or turn on the phone. But if the phone is locked, just place your finger there and it'll unlock right away.

I just recently picked up the S10e for a song, and after using an S7 for almost the last four years, I am enjoying much more capabilities while still keeping the same small size! Only the actual screen itself on the S7 is smaller... Hopefully, I'll be able to rock the S10e for a few years now!

I like that you spelled out the software update timeline for each, that's important to me and I haven't seen that mentioned much in other review videos. I think that sold me on the 4a honestly.

I bought both a month ago at almost the same price. Returned the 4A in just 2 days. 4A is nowhere near comparable with s10e, you forgot to mention the cpu, display and waterproof. In conclusion with the wide angle lens and wireless charging, S10e is, a complete beast.

You've got some good points.

[@pussytoucher]

Way off. I have the pixel 4a and the S10 plus. The pixel 4a is still my go to. Better camera, better battery and better software. If I choose the pixel 4a over the S10 plus, I definitely would take it over the s10e.

In conclusion, what u need is a budget phone that serves for basic, 4A is superb for its camera and software for sure, and certainly you should stay away from all high-end phone, all the features are useless to you, stay basic my friend, save your money.

[@MTGProductions]

I agree with you there!

[@roddyhapper902]

This review was decent, but lot’s of things that could of made it a lot better. My main complaint is the fact you completely skipped over performance. Performance and speed can make or break a phone and you just skimmed over it. If you did take the time to discuss performance you’d understand that the 10e’s Snapdragon 855, which is far superior to the Pixel’s Snapdragon 730G. It is much faster and that is objective. You also didn’t go over selling features. You did not mention the fact 10e has expandable storage, or even things like Samsung DEX. You didn’t talk about the fact the 10e has stereo speakers, unlike the Pixel. You also didn’t mention the perks of the Pixel either. You missed unlimited google photo storage. You didn’t talk about it’s exceptional night mode shots, and there are many more. I’d also like to point out the fact that the camera comparison was very unfair and bias. You were comparing G-cam to samsungs camera application. Anybody could instantly see the problem there. G-Cam has excellent processing, samsung’s is meh. G-Cam handles colours better, and phenomenal night mode. These are crucial things you’ve missed. Next time, install G-Cam on the Samsung, to make it a bit more fair. I guarantee the Samsung will smash the pixel out of the park, given it’s superior specs. Anyway, I’m not being mean, just simply giving constructive criticism. Carry on...

[@MTGProductions]

You've got a point!

[@Netherlag1]

I bought a used s10e for 100$ yesterday, but boy does it have a bad grip experience! The back attracts fingerprint like nothing else I've seen before. And not just fingerprints, but grime too. It feels like it collects grime that isn't even there on your fingers. And it does it fast. The result is a greasy, slippery phone that is very unpleasant to hold. It's a shame, because I don't like to put cases on my phones because they make them bulky and also hide the design of phones. Another complaint I have with the phone is the position of the fingerprint sensor and the buttons. With a fingerprint sensor on the side, you'll have to adjust your grip each time after you unlock your phone if you normally hold your phone in such a way that you support it on your pinky, whereas with a back mounted fingerprint sensor, you just pick up the phone and you're good to go. It's much easier to swipe down the notification bar with a fingerprint sensor that is on the back too. The volume button placement is also in a bad position and it also hard to press. Very inconvenient. Based on its tech features, I would still pick the s10e over the pixel 4a, but If I had the option to buy a Pixel 4a for a similar price, I definitely would, because it has a much more convenient design.

[@arliesam217]

And I agree with you the cheaper brands are raising the bar while the more expensive phone's have to maintain a certain level of quality to not just justify the pricing but it's a competition also but I think the pricing is a marketing strategy the more expensive the more consumer's will want it but for those who can't companies are raising the bar on the cheaper phones so they're still making a profit all around hope am making sense🤷.

[@MTGProductions]

Exactly. Right on point!

[@eamonob84]

I'm probably going to switch from the Pixel 3a to the S10e. I'm getting kind of bored of stock Android, which I've been using for years (had a Nexus 4 and OnePlus One with brief stints on the Note 3 and iPhone). I really don't like how Android 12 looks, so I'll switch to either the S10e or iPhone XS, since One UI and iOS look way better, IMO.

@@wmurch3 but after using Dex for the last few months. It's definitely faster than my old windows computer and more portable than laptops and tablets. And since the plandemic I've used the camera much less. Pretty much only use devices for either productivity or entertainment. I also removed bloatware with platform tools. So the One UI is cleaner but more interactive than the Vanilla stock experience on Google. So at the end of the day. To me it's not about how many people use it but if I find it useful for my current situation. Because if it has helped me, I'm sure it will also help others in similar circumstances. It beats buying a brand new computer for just web surfing and word processing applications which is pretty much 85% of the users out there. Now tell me any old phone that can do that. There aren't any because they have reached the end of their usefulness and are collecting dust in the closet. My Samsung flagship has been used as a phone for the last 3 years and now it can be converted into a chromebook. I got a good deal on an iPhone and use it as my everyday driver. But if I feel trapped in the apple eco system which often times limits me for certain things I want to do. Then I jump on my old buddy Sammy and give her a go. There aren't many but I meet the criteria of those people who have maximized what their mobile device can do for them. Hey it's not for everybody but it wasn't that difficult to get used to. Much easier and more convenient than my old windows computer

Nice video. Subscribed. I'll be interested in how the 4a, 4a 5G, 5 do in a year or two with their 700 series cpus. I know many folks in the tech community are worried in there lifespan, but I remember not so long ago that everyone was talking about phones with the 600 series not being good. But the 625 and the Moto z play from 2016 was such a great phone, much better than my Moto z with sd820, for example. I have nothing to back this up, but I get the feeling that we're going to hit a sweet spot again or a 600 or 700 series processors is going to have a better balance between battery life and performance than the 800 series 5G chips, especially with the 865 requiring a separate 5G radio compared to the 765 that has an integrated 5g radio.

Picking pixel os over one ui is a joke in my opinion. Pixel is not polished even in software.

Stock android isn't more polished than a os full of ads and bloatware? You either never used a stock android or have no idea what you're talking about. Probably both, though.

@@Lessthanthreeedm lol ive used android since 2.0 or something and went through various pixels from og to 2 to 3 to 3a to 4a. first of all, pixel os is not a fucking stock os. it is google's own customized os with lots of their own bloatware too. just because it has Google on it, doesnt make it a bloat? bruh u have no idea what youre talking about. yes, samsung has some apps that suck as they display ads like weather app which is absolutely fucked up but that does not make the overall OS bad.

@@ca9793 "Lot's of their bloatware?"? What? Name 3 things that are bloatware in google phones, lol. Also, no one said it's 100% pure stock android, but looking at the entire phone market it's as close as it gets. I've owned google phones before, now I'm using Samsung and it's a day and night difference when it comes to os experience. Having to delete like 20 apps out of the box isn't normal, not even gonna mention the rest.

@@Lessthanthreeedm to begin with, all these google play apps like music, gmail, drive and so on are bloatware. yes, you can disable and uninstall many of them just like you can do so on samsung phones if you don't need that particular app. you can prefer pixel os sure, its your taste but calling pixel os being a more polished os at least since android pie is just ridiculous. as a start, pixel launcher is garbage. inside the app drawer, it cannot make folder, cannot reorganize app, and cannot hide a single app. also, even now, pixel os has so many issues with using third party launchers if you want to maintain gesture because of how google decided to force its quickswitch integrated into the launcher. all these choppy animation when you swipe up is just sad.

@@ca9793 Google apps are bloatware? Oh, my.. Don't even wanna know where did you get that from. Unless you live in a cave, the rest of the world is using Google apps on daily basis, so, please, elaborate on how's that bloatware? You should really check your definitions dictionary, pal. Also, out of all things you're seriously complaining about app drawer (which is going to get updated eventually)? Just shows how good the phone is, especially for that price range, it's literally competing head to head with twice more expensive flagships. And also, there are plenty of launchers who work really well and unless you're some kind of nerd, I don't see how any of these would be the deal breakers for someone. Still yet to see a single person using gestures to do anything, well, except for double tapping on rare occasions.

well, it's a biased review. So you don't get my like.
