Samsung Galaxy S10e review: Small bundles contain the best things
Samsung Galaxy click for detail offers
The S10e may cost not as much like its kin, the
S10+ and the S10, however, that doesn't mean any individual who decides on it is
getting a traded off cell phone that generally offers less on each front. Along the way from it. Truth be told, the exact opposite thing the S10e merits is to be
eclipsed by the other two.
At
5.8-inches the S10e would never have been referred to as small a few years ago,
but with phones being the same size as small tablets now, you’ll find it
compact. To many, that’s something they’ve been hunting high and low for, but
finding that they’ll only get a small phone if it comes cheap with bare basics.
But it turns out the S10e is almost as good as the S10+ and on top of that it
has some features the top flagship doesn’t.
The size
of the S10e makes it so much easier to hold that you instantly love it. It’s
especially nice for those who like to put their phones in a pocket and keep
whipping them out to take lots of calls. It’s narrow and easily gripped though
it will still need a case because it’s all glass — Gorilla Glass 5. Even with a
case, it’s not a good phone to drop. Some builds survive it, but we’d be
careful with this one. The diminutive size causes one bit of a problem — it
makes the keyboard feel squeezed up and makes a user concentrate a little more
to not make typing mistakes, but one can easily use the swipe and trace method
of typing on another keyboard including Google’s. But overall, the size of this
phone is a big advantage.
One way the S10e is different from the other
S10’s is that its fingerprint sensor is on the power button on the right edge.
There are some grumbles that this is hard for left-handed people but they have
to touch the power button anyway — unless they use facial recognition. The
fingerprint sensor is really fast and if you register a lot of prints you
barely notice the unlocking action anymore. Since most people don’t really
need a 3D mapping of their fingerprints it makes one wonder why fuss with slower
in-display sensors of all kinds because this is just easy, natural and fast.
Swiping down on that power button also pulls down the notification tray, which
is really somehow enjoyable.
The screen has a much lower resolution than the big S10+ but trusts Samsung to still
make it look gorgeous. It is a full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with HDR-10+
support and stunning in its vividity and pixel density. Putting it side by side
with the S10+, I don’t really see the need to spend money just to know one has
a higher resolution — unless you specifically need it.
The screen has another distinguishing feature. There’s no notch, big or small, but
only a tiny round punch hole to house the front camera. The S10+ actually has a
dual front camera with the result that the hole is quite wide. But on the S10e
it’s really easy to forget once you begin using it. There is no curved glass so
the bezels are not exactly non-existent not his phone, sadly. On the other
hand, the phone is flatter and that’s quite attractive plus there are no
accidental touches as with curved glass.
Even the black version of this phone, called Prism Black is actually very attractive and
very likely to appeal to those who opt for black which is apparently a big
number of customers. Sadly, the only other color available in India right now
is Prism White but it’s the black that turned up for review. There are other
unusual colors such as a Flamingo Pink and a Martian Green but it’s not clear
whether these will show up in our country which is a bit of a pity.
No one
should need to worry about the specs front for the S10e. It has the same processor
as the others - the Exynos 9820 octa-core SoC and in India with 6GB RAM and
128GB storage. Variants, like color options, are not yet India-bound. It does
have a memory card slot and the headphone jack is still there. It’s got good
sound as well. Whether the 3,100mAh battery should have been bigger or not is
debatable. The phone itself is after all smaller and the screen takes less
power to run than with a big phone. The support for fast charging including
wireless and for reverse charging is also present but one would quickly drain
out the phone’s battery if it’s used to charge something else.
The camera setup on the S10e doesn’t include the telephoto lens the others have,
but in every other way, including a nice wide-angle lens for photos and
selfies, it’s as good as Samsung cameras have been. It doesn’t have special
night shooting skills compared with a few others, but good light shots from the
12MP and 16MP rear cameras are detailed and come with a nice range of
light-to-dark. Colors may be a bit strong but honestly, most phones are doing
just that with their so-called AI photography. The front camera is better than
on previous generations and also uses a wide-angle lens. The video is nice and
steady.
We’ve
become accustomed to the smaller phone in a line up missing all the nice
things that come with the flagship. But in the case of the S10e, it wouldn’t be
surprising if it eventually turned out to be the most popular of the lot.
Pros: Relatively compact with comfy ergonomics,
super-fast side fingerprint sensor, great performance, gets a little heated up
sometimes, fully loaded with specs, great camera, fast performance
Cons: Power button and sensor placed a bit
too high, color and specs variants not available to India, very slippery
without the case, no special night photo smarts
