looking back now in 2023. I still think the S10e was the epitome of the small form factor phones equipped with hardware that still seem competent now

Now 3/2024.. I just ordered this phone used for 200€. Had to upgrade from S7 because of dated android 8 and this seems to be closest one sizewise.

Tho

[@IamRanJos]

Using “tho” makes you look so cool

[@PeterdaPanda]

Observations from my own S10e (Exynos version) 1. Build quality is good but SIM card tray is way too flimsy as its made from plastic (at least the tray itself). They should have used metal for the entire SIM tray. 2. Camera (front and back) tends to overexpose but photo quality is generally good. 3. Fingerprint sensor is way too high. It should be nearer to the middle. 4. Don't use Face unlock if you value security, it can be fooled easily. 5. SoT is good (around 7 to 8 hours) but standby battery drain is very erratic. 6. Cellular data connection is sometimes unreliable. 7. Stereo speakers on mine are kind of weak.

[@rambot670]

Peter the Panda That was very informative and honest. :) Sorry about the issues you are facing .

[@TheVernacrdi]

[@quanganhvu6791]

Guys I need advice! I am using s6 right now and thinking of upgrading. I was shitting on s10e before it came out because I felt like they would cut lots of corners but once it actually got released and I had a chance to play around with it, I'm actually very interested now! The thing is, I'm still struggling with whether to go with S10e or S10. Price is not the issue for me since I've saved up enough for an S10. I really like the design of S10e and since I am very apprehensive of using a curved display for the first time, the flat display of s10e really draws me in. I know that s10 is better than s10e in pretty much every way but when I compare s10 to my s6 it feels...different, whereas s10e feels familiar but just better in every way. But I am also thinking whether I will regret if I buy s10e as I could've got better specs for a bit more cash. Plus it's nice to have more screen real estate where you can, and s10e does feel smaller than the rest of the family. Really torn right now. Also another issue I have is the battery. The battery is probably the biggest reason I want to change my phone now because even though it works well, it dies after like 2 hours of screen-on time. But this is because I have used the phone for almost 4 years now and I expect my new phone to be A LOT better in terms of battery. I heard that S10e battery is decent but not great and it can only last about a day. Generally it sounds okay to me but I wonder if I should go for s10 just to be on the safe side in case I require heavy usage on some days. Will feel a bit disappointed having to carry a powerbank for a brand new flagship phone.

[@Joshua-uq9zw]

Same reason I'm not buying it I think. Tiny battery on a 700 euro phone is stupid...

[@BoltJamison]

I got the S6 still myself. Im getting the s10e soon tho. Its time for an upgrade finally and why not treat myself 😁

[@mimilicius]

Buy a p30 ,much better batery optimisation,on my nokia 7.1 is 3070 mah batery works great,about 1,5,2 days,maybe Samsung fix this with updates

[@Jacob-xj7te]

I myself using s6 right now (lol) and aiming for s10e very soon, but if you want longer battery life, go for s10 instead.

[@LowLightVideos]

1:04 The curved display allows Edge Notification face down, set "Interaction Control" if you're desperate to block the screen or install a case which cuts edge touchs down. I find the edge touch useful because when I'm reading a webpage, and the "Screen Timeout" is set short, a squeeze of the phone resets the timeout and lets me keep reading uninterrupted.

Hey GSMArena, you should get back to your old style of review on the website. I would love to see a super in-depth head to head comparison between s10e and XR. Example : Just like HTC One and S4 from good old days.

[@bosenngantor9160]

so true...they used to be super in depth in review, esp when it comes to comparison of display and sound

[@rambot670]

@@bosenngantor9160 Yes! I sometimes still go back and read those articles just for their well-researched content. Nowadays, GSMArena is shifting its focus from the details, a direction which I am highly skeptical of. Phonearena is BIASED as usual on the other hand.

This is what I got a week ago :) NOT because its cheaper, but because it is so small, has no curved screen and also has fingerprint reader on the home buttom. To me, this is the perfect phone.

[@rambot670]

Tom Mi Let us know about the battery life after you have installed your usual set of apps and are using them on a constant basis. The 3100mAh battery is holding me(and I guess several others) from buying this beast of a device.

[@tommior9553]

@@rambot670 well most reviews claim that s10e gets better battery life than the normal s10. If i use my phone heavily whole day, then I need to charge a little during the day. But on my normal using day it lasts just fine :)

[@jejunamja]

@@tommior9553 ... From Tom's guide...The S10e died after 9 hours and 41 minutes of streaming web pages using T-Mobile's LTE network, which is about an hour less than the S9's 10:52, but still better than the Pixel 3’s 8:27. The Galaxy S10 Plus, with its significantly larger 4,100 mAh battery, lasted 12:35, while the Galaxy S10 (powered by a 3,400 mAh battery) held out for 10:19. In other words, don't expect the battery life you get from other S10 models.

[@Raja995mh33]

jonah travisano we those "tests" do say nothing... Especially the Exynos version has big problems with Standby drain and phones are in idle mode a lot through the day so it has a big impact. Also only streaming web pages is useless... no one is using a phone just for this. Especially when you use a phone actively, battery life drains much faster because the touchscreen itself is used. That's why all those KZbin tests where they just open Instagram, Camera, KZbin etc. for hours are completely useless as well...

[@wsuptrick]

When using apps, there’s the bar at the top where the time and WiFi icon and stuff are. Anyway to get rid of it? To get more real estate?

[@duke6j]

I use a black background wallpaper which hides the hole at the top, which is at the upper right hand on this phone. Using a black wallpaper I think extends the battery a little. I LOVE THIS PHONE!

[@temptemp563]

After upgrading to Android 10, the Galaxy S10 and S10e screens both have noticeably dimmer whites. This is not a colour saturation issue, or a settings issue, it is a brightness issue. It seems to occur the moment you upgrade from Android 9 to 10. The phones I have looked at are UK phones - so presumably run on an Exynos chip. Is it a deliberate move by Samsung to force-prolong screen/battery life? Can you investigate this please, because I can find no clear advice anywhere.

I love this phone, even more than the 'actual' flagship s10, but still it is not worth the price, at all. A few years ago, I bought the Samsung Note 4 which was the king of the kings on smartphone game and it costed 799€ which is basically the same as the S10e here in portugal (780€) which is sort of a flagship with a few compromises? (Some say it's medium range, don't even know) To me that is a big deal. Why do I, just some years ago could have the best of the best for the same price as this phone who is almost not even considered a flagship? For comparison, I don't make 30% more money than 4 years ago, here in Portugal phones cost a lot more than to americans, especially if you consider the minimum wage...
