One of the many options available is the Samsung Galaxy S10e which remains to be a popular choice for those in search of a compact and affordable flagship device. As much as there are newer models that are in the market, the S10e is a phone that still offers impressive performance and features that makes it a contender in the current landscape. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S10e and see how it fairs compared to other smartphones
Design and Build
The Samsung Galaxy S10e is compact with a 5.8-inch display. It’s smaller compared to the S10 and S10 Plus, making it easier to hold and use with one hand. The back of the device is made of glass with an aluminium frame running around the edges. The front of the phone has a Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels, which provides excellent colour reproduction and sharpness.
What sets apart the S10e from the other S10 devices is the placement of the fingerprint sensor. The S10 and S10 Plus have an in-display fingerprint sensor, whereas the S10e has a traditional rear-mounted sensor located below the camera module, just like the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy S10e is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. It also has 6GB RAM and comes with 128GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD card slot. The performance is impressive by being able to handle demanding apps and games without lags.
Camera
This device has a dual camera setup on the back with a 12MP main camera and 16MP ultra-wide camera. The camera performance is impressive, providing sharp and detailed images with accurate colour. The ultra-wide camera allows you to capture more of the scene in one click. It also has a 10MP front camera that provides stunning selfies.
Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy S10e has a 3,100mAh battery, which is good for a smartphone of its size and smaller display compared to the S10 and S10 Plus. With moderate use, the phone can easily last a full day on a single charge. It also supports fast charging and wireless charging which makes it a nice touch to the budget-friendly smartphone.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S10e offers value for its price with its great display, performance and camera. The compact size and rear fingerprint sensor also add a nice touch to it.
