Samsung Galaxy S10E review: smaller, cheaper, better

The Samsung Galaxy S10E is the smaller variant of the S10 and S10 Plus released this month. It’s 5.8” screen spans edge-to-edge with a hole-punch camera that we’ve seen across this year’s Galaxy S10 lineup. Samsung claims the “e” stands for “essentials,” but there's a lot more to this phone than just that. In an era of giant phones getting larger, the S10E shows that smaller doesn’t have to mean worse.

What phone size is perfect for you?

[@TechHead03]

The S10e is a great size for me. I'm glad I bought one.

The Galaxy S7 and original Moto X had excellent ergonomics. So I'm expecting the Galaxy S10e to fill in those shoes.

Crazy how these companies have conditioned us that $750 phone is some cheap midrange phone now that we praise for being “cheap”

[@anthonyt425]

Crazy isn't it? $750 used to be the max price of old Flagships a couple years ago. Now they are trying to tell us that this price range is the "new midrange". Prices in phones have gotten ridiculously more expensive...... Yet the way we use them has remained the same...

[@Owndirlimo]

And the last three years when flagships went from like 700 to 1k have seen almost no actual major upgrades other than shrinking bezels which is just asthetics and minor processing speed increases. It's actually insane what they're getting away with and these tech reviewers are complicit.

Anthony Turner seriously dude? You know he’s an android user, right? Not everybody who honestly critiques a Samsung device is biased towards iPhones or Pixels

[@7jacquesnel]

They can REALLY make phones slightly thicker to increase battery capacity and keep this size. I'm sure most will agree that a millimeter or 2 of thickness for a few hours extra battery life will be an amazing deal.

[@TheRedmondEthan]

I think LG did that on their g8. And while it sounds simple in theory. I feel like it's more complicated then reality. I mean on a phone with a glass back, you'd want there to be a difference between the back glass and the camera glass to prevent worse damage. Not to mention, there's already been some notable accounts with Samsung messing with the hardware of batteries to much...

[@hurtjuice8128]

I disagree. a couple mm makes a huge difference in terms of Z thickness. also this phone is 8mm thick so not too thin to begin with, just average. add 2mm more to that and most people will find it unpleasant to hold.

[@tamie341]

No way speak for yourself. They finally make a smaller, similarly capable phone and the first words out your mouth are to make it bigger. This is a perfect example of the ignorant mainstream group-think kind of idea that got us to this point in the first place

Phones should be getting cheaper and not more expensive. Just like TVs used to be very expensive and have since gotten cheaper and better over time.

[@brandonwimberly3173]

I get what you are saying, but tv’s and phones are not a good comparison

[@toma7894]

But remember, tv’s started very expensive and in the mid 2000’s to early 10’s they got more and more expensive as curved tvs, 3D TVs and of course smart TVs were becoming a thing but now that’s becoming normal so prices are lowering.

[@FootPauler]

Tv's have started getting cheaper though because people don't use TV's as much as before and the same way. alot of streaming is done on other devices nowadays. unlike in the past where the TV was really your only source of watching, now you have laptops and phones with higher screen quality then your average tv is capable of and you can also do more on them. With that being said, i don't think phones will get any cheaper until there is a new kind of device that comes in to replace them. as they become more and more powerful and capable, the price will only go up probably until phones are more capable then laptops.

[@Tom-sd2vi]

Phones are getting cheaper except for the "status symbol flagships". Look at this example: the samsung galaxy a40 is a very capable phone with a 8-core cpu, full hd+ OLED display, 32GB of storage and 3 camera's at 225 euro. It is ~90% of what a galaxy s10e or iphone XR is for only ~40% of the price. To tie in to your TV comparison: you can still buy 20k TV's today.

[@pipsquek1669]

Cheaper?? Ever heard a flagship televisions?

Just a heads up to everyone who has an S10 or S10e the color saturation of the screen even when Vivid is enabled doesn't display the saturation correctly... To fix this "enable blue light filter" and set it at the lowest possible then go back and look at a picture, you will see how it is no longer washed out. You can see the correct color saturation with "blue light filter" off while in the recent apps screen but once you return to the image it washes out. I figured out applying "blue light filter" corrects it for now! I hope this helps!! I assume they are going to fix this in a future update. Cheers! 🍻

It's simple really: You like Apple? Go for the XR You like Android? Go for the S10E I don't think people would change their opinion over a bit more battery life (for the XR) or for a better screen, design, headphone jack, expandable storage, camera flexibility (not quality), reverse wireless charging, 3 more gigs of ram, way quicker charger included in the box and price that we know will come down in a couple of months if not weeks (for the S10E that btw starts at double the storage of the XR). It's the same old thing. On paper, I think it's rather clear which one is the winner but Apple has both loyal costumers, an ecosystem and a different OS that quite a bit of people prefer so, in the end, it all comes down to this: iOS or Android? Your pick. As it will always be (at least for quite a bit haha).

@@JustAnAtheist did i say it was as fast as a capacitive sensor? i said it was much faster than an optical fingerprint scanner which is in huawei mate 20, one plus 6t and some other phones. and it's literally a lot more secure than faceID and the normal capacitive fingerprint scanner. (before the update the ultrasonic scanner was a bit slower than the one in huawei's but after the update i got a few days ago it has improved by a lot)

This price tag would get normal over the upcoming years making us thinks it cheap Subconsciously making us accept the fact

[@lowan7590]

Reduce that chin bezel Samsung... Why only apple do this ? This is so so so much more esthetic the way X and XS looks !

[@aravindr4986]

Headphone jack

[@egg1111115]

Apple patented folding the OLED drivers under itself

[@AnujKumar-em8lv]

One of most underrated S series feature is the forced touched on the home button. The haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity there is phenomenal in everyday use.

[@HardeepSingh-sm1mj]

The best phone amongst the 3 is the S10e but it’s not cheap. Ideal price should be $550

[@anthonyt425]

No worries we'll see that price before the year is over. 👍🏽

[@dollyprane6165]

I got mine a week ago, coming from an iPhone 8 and i honestly love it. I refused to pay 800+ euros for the iPhone xs, which should have been a logical choice in terms of size at least. The 10e cost me 470€ here in France and it's just perfect. Nicely paced review by the way! I love it.

[@whisp3rjuni0r59]

E = Edgeless No one can change my mind

[@pms013]

Love your video, the music isn't too high, your very concise in your explanations, its an all around good review and helped me buy my first Samsung S10e. I'd been using a Huawei Honor 8, for the last 3.5 years. TY

[@AbiNubli]

Screen protector? Nah. I prefer naked glass. it's more durable, easier to clean, and feels so much better to touch

[@Roshan_420]

Its super flimsy too

[@BaconFaceMcGee]

Abi Nubli I’m the same way. I didn’t use skins or cases on my iPhone either.

[@Javedali.95]

I love the way "the verge" provide reviews.. way of story telling is perfect

[@IQstrategy]

I got mine for $500 w/ $200 trade-in (10 yr old LG) & student discount. And I got DeX cable for $22 + wireless charger for $15. $587 for all with tax. DeX got rid of my notebook need (use only for presentation anyway) & will not go back to wired charging again. Excellent bargain. And can't think of a better phone for me & I totally agree with you. Oh, remapped Bixby button with adb & ButtonMapper App. Terminus & LinuxOnDeX = Close to perfection as I can imagine. Bye iPhone.

[@chltmdwp]

How is $750 dollar a budget phone? People are supporting these companies to charge you more.....

[@JJohnson313]

Budget doesn’t man cheap. If you compare it to the higher priced item, this is better if you are budgeting the amount you spend on a phone. Since everyone’s budget is different...there is no universal price point that is accurate so to speak.

[@anthonyt425]

It's not. And this isn't midrange either. It's supposed to be a slightly gimped Flagship, sacrificing some display quality, camera(s) battery, and screen size.

[@anthonyt425]

Also, if recent Stats are anything to go by then people are actually buying phones less frequently and the market has stagnated. I don't see 5G, foldable screens, and removing ports to do significantly better in making us drops tons of money either.

[@diiarno]

who the hell said it's a budget phone?

[@davidmartrano1549]

Nice review, all three models are a homerun. The 10e offers much for the money. I think their gonna sell boatloads of the 10e. Priced right & the performance is very good. The only downside maybe the 3100mamp battery!

[@editorenbici]

Buying it in mid 2022 because was the last nice small phone.

[@sam3kperv]

You hear that gurls, smaller doesn't mean worst 😏😏😏

[@juvaniaaron1720]

I really enjoyed this review and I'm glad all other comments reflect this as well. Please get her to do more reviews, they're really good for those that want a real review without going to much into the specs of the phone

[@TechDEEM]

Will S20e. Launch or not?

[@Vhsss_God]

6 inches 18:9 without bezels or a notch is perfect.

[@brock985]

Too bad it’s only 5.8 then. The S10 is much closer at 6.1

[@DarkPa1adin]

I hate Samsung aspect ratio. Too narrow and too tall. I feel LG's V30 was the best size next to note 9 (hope it would be shorter)

[@Vhsss_God]

@@DarkPa1adin yeah the v30 is literally my favourite phone looks wise wish lg stuck with that design for their newer phones and just added that third telephoto camera :(

[@Vhsss_God]

@@brock985 true, the only thing I don't like about the s10 is that the chin isn't symmetrical to the top bezels size. Maybe the note 10 will fix that 😋

[@hammybunghole4275]

I got mine delivered today and love it so far as upgraded from a galaxy note 9

[@lillypadgett5226]

YES I love this lady

[@Totallysamsays]

I ❤ this phone so much. It reminds me of an iPhone. The only down fall is the price, even on the lower end it's still way too expensive. I will wait until the price is lower to get it or maybe a refurbished one for Verizon. Gr8 review thanks. 😎👍🏾

[@yohanlobo4767]

Finally I can afford S8

[@zebbleganubi723]

its great to hear a tech channel pointing out that phone manufacturers don't need to make huge phones. I get the feeling that tech reviewers played a big part in this trend in the first place

[@Yddp3307]

It's crazy a lot of these tech tubers didn't even know that they can activate the swipe anywhere at home screen for notification shade, it feels way natural to use, it's a genius idea yet no one knows about it, that way you can swipe for notifications no matter which hand you use the phone
