Abstract: With Samsung's 10th anniversary of their S device, they made sure to spread the celebration across more than the atypical Galaxy S & S Plus device. Enter the Galaxy S10E: their answer to the iPhone XR. It is essentially a small S10 w/ a slightly lower-res...

The Samsung Galaxy S10e retails for Rs 55,990 and for the price, it's not the most inexpensive flagship in the market. It's clearly not the best performing smartphone either and while the device's cameras are good, they're not in the same vein as Google's...

Samsung is the top seller of smartphones in the world, and that's not by mistake. The company makes phenomenal phones and the Galaxy S10+ is not an exception to that. My biggest problem with it is the curved edges on the display. It makes the phone really...

Yes. The Galaxy S10e is probably the best Android phone for most people right now, and may well hold that title for the whole of 2019 at this rate. Given discounts are eventually likely, I'd say this phone will become a no-brainer the moment it drops to $...
As you can tell, I'm a big fan of the Galaxy S10e. It's a phone I can easily recommend people buy, unless they are looking for the battery life champ. This phone is average in that department, but it's just so good in so many others.The camera is quite im...
Samsung has delivered an incredible smartphone with the Galaxy S10+. It sports new tech features without giving up on the old ones like the 3.5mm headphone jack. At $1,000, it's not exactly cheap, but if you have the money to spend, it's definitely well w...

The Galaxy S10 and S10+ set a high bar for this year's premium Android phones and, with the S10e, Samsung is trying to make sure more people benefit from its work. That's new territory for the company, and it paid off. The Galaxy S10e delivers the essenti...
