The past few years in smartphones have led us to believe that bigger is better: bigger displays, bigger batteries, and bigger price tags on these pocket computers we carry with us every day. Thankfully, in the case of the new Galaxy S10E, that's no longer true.

Better fingerprint sensor than bigger S10s; Great size; Most bang for your buck

Niche features like Bright Night and wide angle selfie not as good as Pixel's; Screen layout can be awkward and disproportionate; Battery life could be better

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.

Pro list: awesome battery life, great screen, perfectly placed finger print reader on side of phone that doubles as power button, fast processor, great style great flat screen, responsive touch screen, perfect size con list: no triple camera, slightly less responsive touch screen when glass screen...

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.

I'm not usually impressed by the latest phones and tend not to get excited by them, but this is the exception. First off it's not too big to fit in your pocket, the cameras picture quality is amazing. Brilliant sound quality for playing or streaming music.

The Galaxy S10E is a terrific value for a compact, powerhouse phone, although it can't beat the OnePlus 6T's $550 price.

A dream come true for value shoppers who love small phones; The Galaxy S10E shares the S10's core camera and Snapdragon 855 chipset, so photos and speed are excellent; Battery life and wireless power sharing are also spot-on.

Lefties and people with small hands may find the fingerprint reader placement a tad inconvenient; The indented shape makes taking screenshots feel odd

This mobile is top of range for me never tried Apple would not as Samsung the best this phone is brilliant photos are so clear they are better than taking photos on camera... Excellent quality for cost , the phone is a marvel how they get so much on phone amazes me.. Love Samsung phones

The Galaxy S10e might not have all the frills of the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+, but at Rs. 55,900 it retains a lot of the features and style of the other two, making it very good value. In India, it's a much better deal than the iPhone XR, not only in terms of features, but also cost.

Samsung has a pretty tight hold on much of the Android market, running at around 31% of the global market in 2018 and looking to strengthen that number in 2019 with continued sales of the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S series devices.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is a first-rate smartphone that is well worth considering over the considerably more expensive Galaxy S10 or S10+. There are a few compromises, such as the lack of a third rear-facing camera and no option for a ceramic back, but you still get a device with a premium design...
