What the whole S10 line has in common, however, is the punch-hole in the top-right corner of the screen, the source of the Samsung-termed ‘Infinity-O’ display. It’s noticeable, like the notches before it, though far less an eyesore than the wider camera tabs found in the likes of the iPhone XS and XS Max. With the Galaxy S10e’s main 12MP + 16MP rear cameras, featuring an ultra-wide lens, you won’t miss that perfect moment or lose a member of the group, either. When I dismiss a wake up alarm on the s10e it works all other devices the alarm keeps sounding every 5 minutes. And those who are really conscious about battery life will likely want to spring for one of the larger S10 variants.But those phones also cost considerably more. The bottom line is that, for the price and size, the S10e is still a good little phone, but it's outmatched by newer devices, as you would expect. If you find a good deal on one, it's a decent option. The S10e is a beautiful piece of tech, and it deserves an interface that feels as futuristic and advanced as its exterior. That said, there are some things I really like about OneUI. Samsung's gesture interface is one of the simplest and cleverest I've encountered yet, as the company has just replaced Android's traditional three-button navigation bar with three zones to swipe up and trigger those same functions. And OneUI's Night Mode is not only a bit more stylish and easier on the eyes, but also saves energy, too.

The Galaxy S10e introduces a new 5.8" flat Infinity-O Display. It's minimalist, almost endless and crafted from flawless glass. It stretches from side to side with no home button, no notch for the receiver and a simple dot opening for the front camera. The Galaxy S10e's 5.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display isn't quite as sharp as the QHD screens inside the larger S10 variants. However, because of the smaller proportions, everything still looks crisp, with no loss of quality at oblique viewing angles, and none of that dithered paper-like texture you sometimes get from poor-quality OLED panels. The S10e's impressive showing on 3DMark's Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test bore this out, with a result of 5,616. That result easily tops the iPhone XS at 4,244, demonstrating that while Apple still leads in raw processing grunt, Samsung maintains an edge in graphics. Battery life on the S10e is good, I should say as good as (if not better than) the Note 10 plus 5G.Usability quirks aside, Bright Night doesn't quite rise to the level of Google's Night Sight. Putting aside some of the compositional differences between these photos, the Night Sight result is better all around, with more definition in the shadows, stronger color throughout and properly exposed highlights, especially pertaining to the ice patch on the road. Samsung’s DeX technology enables your Galaxy S10e to compete with your laptop. You’ll receive a fantastic PC-like experience, powered purely by your phone and a cable. Try apps like Adobe Photoshop Express, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint, to name a few – all tailored for an optimal DeX experience. I was able to have a slightly larger keyboard size on the Note 10 plus 5G vs S10e. Makes for less typos/corrections on the larger keyboard. In wrapping up there is not a thing I wish samsung had done differently, for my money the s10e US market version is just perfect. The Aus version only had 128 gigs of onboard storage with the US version having 256 gigs but both versions support a 1 tb sd card.

Get ready to rule social media thanks to the Samsung Galaxy S10e’s Ultra HD front selfie lens, with auto focus. However, Samsung didn't make the best choice when placing the side buttons (volume control and Bixby) on the left edge. If the engineers wanted to create the first high-end smartphone especially for left-handers, they certainly succeeded! Capture with pro-grade tool set made for masters: Control your camera settings with Pro-Video Mode to adjust the exposure, focus and more to bring your creative vision to life However, we were disappointed with the positioning of the front camera , which can obstruct the view in some applications . The photo module is located in the upper left corner. This element causes blurring in the field of view in full screen mode. This detail is particularly annoying for gamers (especially PUBG fans who don't have a full view of their fellow players), but also for film and video fans. With Netflix, however, the module is out of range on the screen. Even in full-screen mode, making the platform's video format a much more enjoyable experience..In this default state, the S10e covers 148 percent of the sRGB space. That's ahead of the iPhone XS' 123 percent, and those who prefer perkier colors shouldn't fear, as Samsung has included a Vivid option with the S10e that ratchets up those hues into the stratosphere. And no matter what profile you use, the S10e's screen comes HDR10+ certified for excellent contrast and visibility in shadows and highlights alike. Thanks to its Infinity O display, the Galaxy S10e provides an edge-to-edge screen experience, without the requirement of a large, space-stealing notch. Always-On technology provides you with handy on-screen notifications – while saving you power.
