The Samsung Galaxy S10e has almost everything its bigger siblings do, in a more hand-friendly form factor at a lower price. It even one-ups the more expensive Galaxy phones with a better-located fingerprint sensor and a more case-friendly form factor. At $749.99, it's a perfect staging area to wait for the 5G revolution coming in the next two years, and our first Editors' Choice flagship phone for 2019. Galaxy S10 Family and Design Samsung's trio of S10 models offer similar performance, with different physical sizes and prices. The S10e starts at $749. The "regular" S10 costs $899, with a bigger, curved screen, and a 2x zoom camera. Finally, the large Galaxy S10+ starts at $999 and adds a second camera (for depth) on the front. The S10e isn't actually that much smaller than the S10. It measures 5.6 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches, while the S10 is 5.9 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches. The S10+, meanwhile, measures 6.2 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches. I generally find phones over 2.8 inches wide to require two ha...

The Samsung Galaxy S10e has the best overall price, performance, and size for a flagship smartphone today.

Amazing screen color and clarity; Industry-leading processor and modem; Wide-angle camera; Headphone jack; Just the right size for most hands

Low-light camera performance not as good as the Google Pixel 3; Fingerprint sensor could be more accurate

On the heels of the Google Pixel 3a and OnePlus 7 Pro launches, it is appropriate to consider whether spending $1,000+ on a smartphone is a justifiable purchase. Before making the leap to a Galaxy S10 Plus at $1,000, you could save $200 and go with a Galaxy S10e .

When I started my review of the Samsung Galaxy S10e smartphone, I was expecting something of a watered-down variant of the more premium S10 smartphones, as we've seen in previous Galaxy S ranges, as well as with its competitors. That wasn't the case here.

Great display; Edge-to-Edge screen; Reverse wireless charge; Feature-rich; Better price than S10; S10

I have never been a fan of Samsung, but I will say that the S10e is an all around awesome phone. I love the size of this phone it feels very solid in the hand. The UI is very quick compared to some of my previous experiences with Samsung.

Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. As much as much as I like Samsung's bigger and pricier S10+ - it's only a couple of complaints shy of perfect - the smaller and cheaper Galaxy S10e, which starts at $750, is a...

Super fast performance; Reliable physical fingerprint reader; Fun ultra-wide secondary camera

Bixby button only partially customizable; Wireless PowerShare feature was slow

The Samsung Galaxy S10e Snapdragon edition is essentially same as the S10e Exynos edition . Just as the name implies, the unit come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Octa-core CPU clocked at 2.84 GHz, along with Adreno 640 GPU, 6/8 GB RAM and 128/256 GB internal storage.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is an outstanding phone that is the slimmest and most compact offering in their current line-up but retains a similarly brilliant Infinity-O display, a darned good front and rear dual camera setup and the same exceptional performance.

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.
