  • Comfortable to hold, Waterproof, Includes wireless charging, One of the smaller high-end phones you can find today
  • Battery life could be better, Value doesn't seem as solid as it could be, Flagship siblings are different phones
  • Sitting as the baby of the Galaxy S10 range, the S10e occupies an interesting spot. On the one hand, it's a smaller and less exy S10, and yet on the other, it also omits some of the features of what makes the S10 range impressive.It needs to be noted that...

  • Honestly, yes – it's an outstanding phone but it's a tough sell when you consider the cost for most users. I've actually found myself drawn to the size, the performance and the general feel of the S10e, unlike other review phones I've had in the past when...

  • Fantastic balance in the hand, Excellent screen, Pretty great camera for the most part, Android is slick and easy to use, Solid performance, Water resistance, Headphone jack still handy for folks who want it
  • Camera loses details in low-light, AI camera needs work, Front-camera holes will irritate folks with OCD, Battery life could be better, Curved touchscreen picks up on extra screen touches fairly often, Fingerprint scanner isn't always great
  • Samsung's latest flagship will definitely grab attention, and for folks with older models, the Galaxy S10+ will provide exactly what they want: a next in-line model that improves on everything they've seen.Simply put, it's the best Galaxy yet, and one of...

  • Abstract:  It wasn't long ago when premium smartphones cost around $1000. But after suffering through several release cycles littered with $1,500 flagships, it's clear those days aren't coming back. To fill in the gap, phone makers have started putting out streamlin...
