The Galaxy S10e is a handy, affordable version of Samsung’s latest flagship. Do the limitations in camera and power outweigh the lower suggested retail price? You can read that in our Samsung Galaxy S10e review.

Earlier this spring we already discussed the Samsung S10 and S10 Plus in an extensive review, but this year Samsung came up with no less than three variants. Although the differences between the S10 and S10 Plus are relatively small, the S10e does quite a few things differently. That is why we discuss this new variant in a separate review.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is the cheapest model in the S10 series. To limit costs, Samsung has made some adjustments. For example, the device does not have a fingerprint scanner in the screen and lacks the optical zoom lens on the back. The device is currently almost 400 euros cheaper than the Galaxy S10 Plus. Small in size and price: a successful combination?

Design: large screen, compact housing
Although the Galaxy S10e has a relatively large 5.8-inch screen, it is still one of the smallest smartphones from the Galaxy S series in years. This is due to the very narrow screen edges. Almost the entire front consists of images. Below is a narrow black bar, at the top right a small hole for the selfie camera. As a result, the Galaxy S10e is even slightly smaller than the Galaxy S6 and S7, while they have a much more compact 5.1-inch screen. The device can easily be used with one hand and fits a lot better in your pocket than the 6.4 inch Galaxy S10 Plus.

There is one significant difference in design between the S10e and its big brothers: the screen is not curved. Instead of it continuing into the side, it is just flat. That may look a little less stylish, but it is a lot more practical. On the S10 Plus, I regularly accidentally touched a corner of the screen with the palm of my hand. This does not occur on the S10e.
