Galaxy S10e: Full Specifications

Samsung’s Galaxy S10e takes the core S10 experience and trims it into a smaller, easier-to-handle format without losing its premium character. It uses a 5.8-inch flat Dynamic AMOLED display with a 2280 x 1080 resolution, HDR10+ support and a hole-punch front camera, giving it a sharp, modern look while remaining more practical for one-handed use than many larger flagships of its generation. Depending on the version, it comes with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, plus microSD expansion. The dual rear camera system combines a 12 MP wide camera with optical image stabilization and a 16 MP ultra wide camera, while the 10 MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. UHD 4K video recording is supported, and Samsung also included features that helped define its higher-end phones, including IP68 water resistance, wireless charging, Wireless PowerShare, Samsung DeX and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. A 3,100 mAh battery, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor round out a compact model that still feels unusually well equipped.

Pros

  • Flat screen: For those not enamoured by the curved glass display of the Samsung Galaxy series, the S10e is a good alternative. With its flat screen, the device is a tad bit wider, but also easier to hold.
  • All the premium features for cheaper: Premium all glass body, Infinity O display, IP 68 water resistance, fast wireless charging and power sharing… the Galaxy S10e has it all! At a lower price than the S10, it’s many people’s Samsung phone of choice.
  • More compact build: For those who dislike the ever larger phones being made, the Galaxy S10e should offer a decent alternative. It’s more compact and lighter, making it easier to put inside pockets and to handle with one hand.
  • Additional features: The S10e has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a physical fingerprint reader. Need we say more?

Cons

  • Only one year of software updates left: Because of Samsung’s policy of guaranteeing software updates only for two years, buying 2019’s flagship in 2020 means that you only have one more year of software updates to look forward to. Keep in mind however that even 2018s Samsung Galaxy S9 still runs smoothly and still receives security updates. So unless you really care about the newest iteration of Android, software updates should not stop you from enjoying your Galaxy S10e for a good two or three years still.
  • Bloatware: Samsung's version of Android is not the cleanest, with a lot of Samsung features (think of the unhelpful Bixby) and some bloatware. While some features like Samsung Pay are very useful, it’s something to keep in mind. The “cleanest” versions of Android are usually found on OnePlus and Google phones.
