The Galaxy S10e is
the Best Galaxy S10 #Helpful Post
Hey
guys, this is Austin.
Today
Samsung unveiled their brand new
Galaxy
S10 lineup of phones,
and
while when you look at that Galaxy S10,
it's
a lot of phone,
but
it's also a lot of money at $1000.
And
then there's this, the Galaxy S10E,
which
is a new, cheaper version
of
the Galaxy S10.
As
far as I'm concerned,
it
is the one to get.
So
as you might know,
I
have been using the iPhone XR recently.
Now
as you might imagine from behind me here,
you
can see that they've been really pushing it,
but
that's for good reason.
Not
only is this the budget iPhone,
but
as far as I'm concerned, it's the better one.
It's
got better battery life,
and
the cuts you make save 200, 300 dollars,
seem
totally worth it to me.
Samsung
is doing something similar with the 10E.
It's
$750, coincidentally the same price as the XR,
and
the same $250 cheaper than their highest end S10 model.
It
does make a lot of sense for I think most people.
What
you're getting here
is
a slightly smaller 5.8 inch display.
Now
it is only 1080p as apposed to 1440p.
I
don't know what that was,
but
I'm gonna continue going.
But
the important thing here
is
that while you lose a little bit of resolution,
as
far as I was able to tell,
it
still looks really nice and sharp.
And
something else you loose are
the
curved infinity edges on the display,
and
that's something I actually do kind of like.
It's
been around all the way back since like what?
The
Galaxy Note Edge.
But
the most important thing here,
is
that all of the cuts they've done to this E
are
very reasonable.
It's
small stuff that you're really not gonna miss.
Now
it's kind of hard to show on camera,
but
the 10E is actually a fair bit smaller
than
even something like the Galaxy S9, the S10,
and
especially the iPhone XR.
As
far as I'm concerned, bring it on.
I
love high end, compact flagships.
Similar
to something like the Pixel 3.
It's
a really sort of unique size,
and
especially with that full-size display, it looks nice.
Something
the 10E does lack
compared
to it's higher-end brothers
is
an in display fingerprint sensor.
Instead
the fingerprint sensor is paired
with
the power button on the side of the phone,
and
from my brief hands-on it seems fine,
it's
not something I'm going to miss that much,
but
if that's something you wanna
show
off to your friends with,
go
spend $250 to do that.
Spec
wise, you're not giving anything up
by
going with the 10E.
You
still get that same Snapdragon 855,
and
while the base model does have
six
gigs of RAM, and 128 gigs of storage,
the
higher end eight gigs with 256 gig model,
has
pretty much the same spec as the S10, the S10 Plus,
not
counting the crazy, much ultra very,
super-duper
expensive 12 gigabyte,
titanium,
one terabyte model,
but
we're just gonna ignore that.
That's
like double the price of the 10E,
so
we're just gonna.
It's
fine, it's fast, it's fine.
The
main camera sensor is very similar
to
what you got on the Galaxy S9.
So
you do have the dual apertures,
you've
got the dual pixel auto focus.
You're
really not gonna see a major difference here,
although
apparently it is a new sensor.
What
has been added to all the Galaxy S10 models,
is
a new ultra wide angle camera.
Now
as always with these things,
you
do lose a little bit of quality,
but
what you gain is an incredibly wild, wild?
Wide
field of view.
I
guess it could be wild too.
A
little exciting, a little dangerous, a little wild.
Now
the higher models do have a third
telephoto
camera, which is nice,
but
I mean, I don't know.
That's
one of those things
where
I always find the quality is so far off
that
it doesn't make a huge difference to me.
Now
upfront, you do have
the
same 10 megapixel front-acing camera.
It's
nice and wide, and from what I was able to tell,
it
looks pretty nice.
But
again, if you go all the way up to the S10 Plus,
you
are going to be getting
that
secondary front-facing camera,
but
I mean, eh.
So
when it comes to the rest of the good stuff,
the
S10E has it.
So
we still have a headphone jack,
because
Samsung for some reason actually listens,
that's
pretty impressive.
There's
also WiFi 6 onboard,
which
is about 20% faster,
and
should give you much faster response time.
And
on top of all of that,
you
do still have stereo speakers,
even
though you have the hole-punch display.
There's
a tiny driver on the top of the panel,
and
even on the 10E, I've gotta say,
it
sounds pretty good.
There
is a cool feature
in
that you an wirelessly charge
straight
from the Galaxy S10.
All
you need to do is turn on the setting,
and
then once you put another phone on the back of yours,
it
will use Qi charging
to
wirelessly charge that other phone.
Now
that's a super cool feature.
The
down side though
is
that the Galaxy S10E only has
about
a 3100 milliamp hour battery.
Now
that should be fine,
Samsung
still quotes it as a 24 hour battery life phone,
but
especially after spending so much time with the XR,
where
the battery really is the strong suit,
I
don't have high expectations with the 10E.
I
really hope that
that
Snapdragon 855 is super efficient,
because
otherwise it's going to be, probably,
average,
decent, but I guess we'll see.
Samsung
Galaxy S10 lineup
will
be going on sale on March 8th.
Now
the thing is the 10E
really
is the one that gets me the most excited.
Now
sure, the other phones are cool,
and
you are getting more features,
but
when you consider how much more expensive they are,
it's
kind of hard to justify the price.
Whereas
as far as I'm concerned,
I
like that small size.
I
like the yellow, because I'm a sucker for yellow.
And
most importantly,
hi,
can you be in my video for a second?
-
Yeah.
What
you need buddy?
-
Should you buy a Galaxy S10, an S10E,
an
S10 Plus, or save your money
and
buy a Palm phone?
-
Wow, Palm phone it is.
-
Okay cool, anyway.
Thank
you guys so much for watching.
I
appreciate it.
If
you guys wanna catch any more on the Galaxy S10E,
or
some of the other phones that are coming out soon,
make
sure to subscribe to the channel.
Anyway
guys, I'm going to go
hang
out at the Apple store
'cause
it's right in the background
and
I thought it would be funny
for
our Samsung video.
