Samsung Galaxy S10E Design
Galaxy S10-The Galaxy S10E is the smallest and lightened phone in all the three models of Searies. This handset of Samsung brand weighs 150 grams. It is 0.1 mm thick compared to others. We liked the size of this phone very much. The Galaxy S10E fits comfortably in the hand and its curved edges are not rough at all.
Aluminum and glass are slightly lubricated by the back panel, so be a little conscious while using the phone with one hand because it can also slip by hand. On this, fingers also fall easily. But even then it is strong. If the phone falls, the aluminum frame may also have permanent scratches. For example, we were taking a picture of a flower and during that time we missed the phone from our hand. Nothing happened to the glass but scratched the frame.
The Galaxy S10E has the Bixby button. If you want, you can set a double-repres or single-repres action to open the app or you can take help of Biksbi. The premium handset of the Galaxy S10 model has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor but on the other hand, the company has given a standard capacitive sensor in the Galaxy S10E which is integrated into the power button on the right side of the phone.
It is very sensitive, even after touching quickly it unlocks the phone. You can also enable gestures to easily access the notification shed. It works correctly but we got the placement of the power button slightly above. Even after holding the phone in a normal manner, we definitely had some difficulty in accessing it.
Samsung Galaxy S10E has a 5.8-inch full-HD+ dynamic amoled display. The resolution is slightly lower than the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. Its pixel density is 438 PPI. Samsung has not removed the HDR 10+ certification for the display, which means you can enjoy high dynamic range colors in a competition video. The default color profiles make the color a little saturated, but you can switch to natural color profiles if you want.
If we talk about the biggest difference in design, then the Galaxy S10E does not have a curved display on the right and left. The second difference is that if both other comparison to the Galaxy model, then the side of the Galaxy S10E has some thick bezel. Galaxy S10E’s front and Gorilla Glass 5 have been used on the back. At the same time, Gorilla Glass 6 has been used in the front of its other big models and Gorilla Glass 5 in the back.
Gorilla Glass 5 helps to protect the phone when scratch and fall from low height. At the same time, both other models have a new version of this which better defends the phone. You will already get a screen guard on the phone. Compared to other Galaxy S10 models, we notice that there are slight cutbacks in the back of the Galaxy S10E.
In the Galaxy S10E you will get dual aperture rather than telephoto camera. The phone has a 12-megapixel sensor and a 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor. Apart from this, one more thing you will not find in the phone is the heart-rate sensor. In India, Samsung Galaxy S10E Prism is found in black and prism white color. The phone will get information related to AKG-Tune headset, USB-OTG Type-C from Type-A Adapter, Fast Charger, Data Cable, SIM Eject Tool and Warranty. It is worth noting that with the handset you will get a better look plastic case.
Samsung Galaxy S10E Specifications and Features
Samsung’s flagship model is of course affordable smartphone but its specification is not at all low-end. The Galaxy S10E in India has been brought with an 8 nm octa-core Samsung Exynos 9820 processor. But it has only one variant that comes with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Its 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variants are also available in the international market.
Talking about other specifications, it includes hybrid dual-sim slot, gigabit LTE, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 AX (Wi-Fi 6), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, four satellite navigation system and USB Type C port.
The Galaxy S10E has Dolby Atmos with AKG-tune stereo speakers. The phone has an IP 68 certification that protects it from dust and water and in addition there are many sensors in the phone. The Samsung brand phone runs on the new one UI 1.1 based on Android 9 Pie. Our handset is running on February 2019 security patch. We have recently reviewed many Samsung phones that come with One UI.
The phone has many alternative gestures and shortcuts. With the help of app edge, you can add the shortcuts of the most used apps to the bar. After this, they can be accessed by using simple swipe gestures on the home screen. You can use gestures instead of standard Android navigation button.
You will also get spamy notifications in Galaxy S10E. While setup of the phone, unchagate some term and condition, which can give you some relief. Despite all these precautions, notifications are received without opening the Moy Galaxy app. Notification is not much, but I wish it would have been such that we could be able to disable them completely. The Galaxy S10E also has a Google Digital Welbeing feature.
Samsung Galaxy S10E performance, camera and battery life
The phone size is very correct in using one hand. To reach the notification panel, you have to stretch your hand a little. The front panel of the phone has a punch-hal with a selfie camera. The fingerprint sensor works correctly but it is capacitive. If your fingers are wet or grown, it will not work. You do not need to press the power button, only the simple touch will unlock the phone.
In the previous Galaxy S model, the company gave the iris scanner, but this time this feature did not get a place in the phone due to the lack of space in the punch-hal. The phone has face recognition support but it is not good like Apple face ID as it identifies a authentication or say with the help of a selfie camera. It works correctly, with the help of screen brightness falling on the face in low-light, it easily identifies facial.
Like both other Galaxy S10 models, it also has good general app and UI performance. Despite having 2 GB less RAM than both other models in the phone, we did not see a big difference in the benchmark number. On using normal use, we found that the side of the phone gets a bit hot. Many times the phone looks a bit hot while downloading the apps from the Play Store. If you put a case on the phone, then you will not even know about this.
PUBG Mobile and other games run correctly in phones. Due to the powerful processor and low-screen resolution, the Galaxy S10E also manages the game easily on high settings. Framerate is smooth and with the help of One UI game launcher you can enable Dolby Atmos during gaming.
The AMOLED display is very good to see the content. Streaming apps such as Netflix and prime video zoom are automatically set up the video according to the punch-hole area. Stereo speakers also have a loud voice. Like both other models, Galaxy S10E has accessories front and rear cameras. It does not have only telephoto sensors. The performance of the phone is also a luggage.
In daylight, the phone captures the details properly in landscape and macro mode. Its dynamic range and colors are also good. The scene optimizer automatically identifies objects such as T-shirts etc. and it also helps in improving the picture. The details in macro mode captured well and the exposure also handled correctly.
The camera app can be easily used. Many modes have been given for photos and videos. The wide-angle sensor proves to be very useful for capturing more things in the frame. Live focus works well and edge detection in it also works well. If you want, you can also add background blur effects.
Galaxy Note 9 And Galaxy s9-Galaxy S10E’s selfie camera will see big improvement compared to Searies. The Samsung Galaxy S10 E has a 10 -megapixel front camera. The Galaxy S10E does not have RGB depth sensor but still in selfie it detects the age correctly.
Video recording has also not been compromised in the Galaxy S10E. Like other expensive models, this phone is also capable of recording videos up to 4K at 60 frames per second. Apart from this, you will also get super slow-mo video mode, with the help of which you can record the video on 960 frames per second.
Video quality was good in daylight. Stabilization also handled well and is also under noise control in low-light. The Galaxy S10E has a 3,100 mAh battery. After using the camera, watching videos, internet surfing and chat apps, the phone supported for 17 to 18 hours. The good thing is that the battery is rapidly charged by the charger coming with the phone.
The phone had 5 percent battery when we charged the phone and in an hour the phone was charged 95 percent, which is a very good thing. The phone also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging with compatiated wireless charger. In our HD video loop test, Galaxy S10E played with 10 hours and 31 minutes which could be a little better.
Our decision
The Galaxy S10E does not have all the features of Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. But Galaxy S10E is equipped with many features of both other models for Rs 55,900, which is quite good. In India, it is a better deal than iPhone XR, not only in terms of features but also in terms of price.
Galaxy S10E match Google Pixel 3 It is also available online for Rs 58,000 online. If you want stock Android experience, then Google Pixel 3 can also prove to be a great option. Us OnePlus 6T Should not forget, it is also a good phone. Its 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variants are priced at Rs 45,999. Its battery life is also better than the Galaxy S10E. But in this you will not get HDR display, compact size and modern processor.
Battery life is not much better than both other models. Apart from this, telephoto camera and in-display fingerprint sensor have also not found a place in the phone. Overall, we feel that people in this price segment will be satisfied with the features and performance of Galaxy S10E.
