@@HKB108 yeah the Zenfone 8 is an interesting device, but in terms of size it's much closer to the regular S10 than it is to the S10e (it's 6 mm longer than the S10e and only 2 shorter than the S10), and it's 20 grams heavier, and this before you add a case... Still one of the most interesting phoens around, hopefully Asus will make a (possibly slightly smaller) successor by the time I upgrade my S10e in a couple of years... Especially as the zenfone 8 will only get Android 13, just one OS upgrade more than the S10e
That's exactly what I did get through my carrier to replace a years old, much-used, serious screen burn-in Galaxy S7 Standard, a refurbished S10e in excellent like-new condition... Aside from the resolution and smaller actual screen size, the S10e takes up the same footprint as the S7 did, and I'm getting some better storage, memory, and a few new features as well! About one-half hour of receiving the handset, the Android 11 and One UI 3.1 had arrived, and I heard that Samsung has included the entire S10 Family to receive Android 12 and the One UI 4.0 later in 2021, so I'm good to go with all that! This is my new Daily Driver now, and I'll probably use it as much as I did the S7!
I can say that this phone is the same size as the S6 Edge which I was upgrading from. People keep talking phone specs and everything, but this phone is still strong in mid 2021. In fact, I'm writing this comment on a 2 year old S10e. Had it since new and it hasn't showed its age yet
Yep I've had it for a couple years as well awesome size and quality all around. Only issue for me is it probably needs a bit more ram, and if they could squeeze a bigger battery in that size phone would be perfect! Oh and camera quality in low natural areas could be better, but honestly can't complain.
@@griffinbird3000 the E was the budget friendly flagship. They replaced it with the FE. It would be great if they had a 6 inch phone. 5.8 is nice but 6 hits the spot. 6.7 is just ridiculously huge.
@@SerbyWafflesTech yeah what I meant was that it was smaller. Both are budget sure but the fe is bigger than the base flagship. Friend's s10e looked beautiful but s20fe honestly... yeah no
This is one of my all time favorite phones I've owned, I have the S10e and S10+ SD-855's and they're both awesome phones, I will say that sometimes the S10e is the more practical and convenient choice for day to day, it's easy to fit in your pocket but it's still a little powerhouse, I'll be holding on to the S10's for some time still.
I bought one in mid 2019 and It's is perfect even in 2021, I haven't noticed any performance loss and the battery although it has degraded a bit it still has 20-10% at the end of the day
I am a very happy s10e user. Still one of the best phones out there. I haven't found anything that compares. The size was one of the main selling points for me. And it's specs are still competitive to all but the most expensive current flagship $1000+ phones.
That's my phone right now, so cool and the camera is so fucking dope, and the speaker for music is magical, am not hyping but the phone is very lovely 🥰🥰🥰
I ordered a s10e phone instead of the other 2 options with zero research...not even tech stats or size........im glad i made the right choice in the end for my preferences. Im previously a s9 user
Thank you so much for this honest review! I've been looking at this phone for awhile since I desperately want to use my wireless charger but I found out just after I got it that my current phone doesnt even have wireless charging (UGH) my budget is super low and this satisfies every need I have for a new phone. Thanks for being honest!
Hey! Awesome review. Definitely underrated channel. My question is, would you recommend the 128 or 256 GB version? I'm looking at a $70 price difference. My main concern is RAM. With 6 GB of RAM on the 128, will that be enough to power through a day in say two years? Obviously, the 8 GB model would be better, but is it $70 better? Thanks in advance for any info!!
6GB is plenty for Android, but 8GB won't hurt (didn't even realize they made an 8GB version). 256GB would be nice, but you can get 512GB for $80, if not cheaper ( amzn.to/35kgX02 ). Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed!
I went from an s10e to an S20 ultra but it's not the same. Bought an excellent condition refurbished prism black s10e from back market cause why not lol.
Anyone experiencing battery issues after the android 11 update? I can barely get a day with minimal usage after the update. Otherwise I love my phone and it still feels as premium and powerful as is it did 2 years ago. Original Samsung accessories for it can now also be found dirt cheap online so you will never be out of an original stylish genuine leather cover to keep your phone looking good 😉
My battery 2 years since launch has gotten a bit worse, but that is just expected. Still going strong in the speed department and gets daily tasks done. 10/10 would recomend! :)
@@ender_upp i'm so glad, So besides what u said about the battery Can you name another 2 issues that u have with the phone And 3 positive things that u like it so much
I just got a used 256gb slightly cracked screen and it's now showing 81% battery but waterproof integrity is shot. If the battery is 💯 % as new or open box I'd send this back and get it. It's a great phone nice colors and I'm getting about 4 hrs continuous use out of it. Android 10
We puchased three S10E's for my family. After 18 months, one needed a new battery when the battery started to bloat, which caused the back to push out. A second one just stopped working after less than 2 years and even a new battery did not fix the problem. When we went to the local Verizon store where we purchased the phones, the tech rep stated the S10E is only meant to last 18-24 months--because it's not a "flagship" phone by Samsung, thus it's a cheaper phone, both money wise and how long it will last. They never said that when we purchased the phones, so I'm done purchasing in the store. Chatted with Samsung on line to order another phone and Fatima, the rep we worked, with was great and helped us upgrade the phone at a very reasonable cost. If I'd had known about how cheaply made the S10E's are, I would have paid more for a better phone...at least, that's our experience. Good luck!
Only problem I ever encountered with the S10e, is keyboard use with such a small screen, keyboard generally takes up almost 40% of your screen real estate and shrinking the keyboard too much can be bad if you want to be accurate with swipe type, depending how large your thumbs are it can either be good or a nightmare too.
See these on eBay for like 200 in new condition now, I’m tempted. I have an iPhone XS right now and I can’t use face id because the ir blaster laser hurts my eyes and I get a headache when trying to set it up, so I can’t have my phone locked at all......I want a fingerprint scanner and headphone jack again :(
My S10e is 2 years old. Battery only lasts for approx 8 hours fully charged. Undecided if it’s the best model like others have said. Battery can be changed but not easily looking at TH-cam!
Hey! 👋 I want to acquire this phone but I've seen many discussions about his drop resistance... some people say that at its first drop this phone breaks even though this phones is supposed to have gorilla glass 5... also I've seen many drop tests that have shown that it resists common drops like from the bed, table etc. Can you tell me your point of view?
Samsung s10e should be the much better built phone, with many more features. Apart from size, they wouldn't be similar at all. Googles software is very very basic in comparison to Samsung
it's still look so smooth and cute , but too bad majority of people either iphone or android they only want bigger phone so S10 E or iphone 12 mini wasn't popular.
The fingerprint sensor is sooo annoying on this phone. It almost never works on the first try and sometimes even after 5 attempts it fails to register my thumb and locks the biometric feature. Aside from that, this phone is awesome. I wish samsung would make more smaller sized phones.
The S10 may have a bigger battery than the S10e but it doesn't have better battery life. Its running a larger, higher resolution screen than the e which actually gives it slightly less battery life. Need to go to the S10plus to get longer endurance.
Right now, the S10e is about $100 less than the S10. Being smaller, it would have better resolution for pictures and videos than the bigger phones. Compact size makes it more practical for travel and hiking in the mountains. I never liked the huge smartphones
The Bixby button is great if you disable Bixby and use an app like bxActions that lets you remap it to other functions. For instance, depending on how I press the button, I have it work as my play/pause, flashlight or notification mode change button. (single press, long press or double press and hold) It's not the last compact flagship that has a headphone jack though, aside from others I may not know about, there is still the Sony Xperia 5 II and the upcoming Xperia 5 III. One of those are probably the route I will go once I finally replace my S10e. (using it for 2 years now)
@@lopwidth7343 Mostly a personal use thing. I had set up my phone to use the Bixby button as a Play/Pause for media, so I could hit Play/Pause even when the phone was in my pocket. Android 11 and OneUI 3.1 collectively broke that. I also didn't like some of the changes in Android 11 from Android 10, partially related to media playback again, but was unable to roll it back to Android 10. Basically, I loved the phone for almost 2 years and never thought about replacing it, it was perfect. Then software updates happened and over the next couple months I got frustrated enough to finally want to replace the phone. It's a fantastic phone, but in my specific case, the software updates no longer made made it enjoyable to use. I do miss the camera though, I don't think the camera hardware is better than my new Xperia 5 II, but the basic camera software and ease of taking pictures is FAR better (just the basic app, not talking about the Pro app on the X5 II).
@@VelcroSnake93 ahh, i know exactly what you mean. I really miss android 8.1 on a Motorola phone i had. Android 9 and 10 has weird choices, that was just better in android 6-8.1. I tried IPhone, and the same thing happened. I knew it was locked down and annoying, but i thought at least it will be consistent and minimal redundancy compared to how android and google works. WRONG, as soon as iOS 14 rolled out and forced you to update, it is just as janky and inconsistent as android to look at and interact. So it's just a locked down system, with only downsides and compromises now in comparison. At least samsung is consistent, from my experience. Especially their own software. Messages, gallery, music etc
My guess is Android 12 might be the last one the s10's get. Software Support ends March 2022 for all the S10/S10e/S10Plus so its a maybe if it goes beyond 12.
It will get Android 12 because Samsung promised 3 years of updates. Unfortunately, 12 will be the last. I wish they would do their updates like Apple does, then this would be an even better buy.
@@eamonob84 ikr, 4 - 5 years atleast, maybe in the far future hopefully, Samsung has Potential to do so and Google owns Android so they literally have no exuses
I upgraded from the s10e to the s20fe, I actually loved this little phone but the battery just drained to quickly, I say the s20fe because it does just about everything the s21 does but u have the advantage of a micro SD card, I hope this info is helpful in your decision!
@@tinawashington6198 thanks, though I don't use micro SD but S20FE is a bulky. Now time has passed may be flips and folds are doing more noise. Thanks Tina for your reply.
@@_Digitalguy thanks digital guy for valuable suggestion. Yet I haven't decided to upgrade. S10e is fantastic so far with all I want. Will upgrade later. Regards
@@pramodkatti4371 Yeah, personally I am keeping my S10e for as long as possible. But if I had to upgrade, the S21 is the closest in size and screen. The S20fe has also had screen issues in some models
I currently have the note 10 exynos and i'm saddened by its battery endurance. I'm eyeing the s10e snapdragon for a while for its compact size. Would it be wise to switch? Or is it really normal for samsung to have bad battery endurance?
Hello from the Philippines. I am cris. Can you please advise if this is a good upgrade from the S9 which is my daily driver (at this time)? My only complain with the S9 is the battery performance. Is the battery performance of S10e better than the S9? Thank you... Cris
Hello nice review just wana ask is it a good decision to buy samsung s10 e in 2021 and if i buy it how long will it last and yest will the battery can run the phone the whole day? Please reply
I have an exynos version, bought in 2020(eu) it depends on the brightniss you have youre screen on. With 30-40% i get after 1 year with dark mode apllyed 9-10hours screen on. Heavy user youtube and gaming and that will drain 100% if u use more brightness it will take 120-130% for that amount of screen time. I would say if you can buy the snapdragon version wich provides faster cpu and better battery, buy it you wouldnot regret. Exynos is also good but gets 35-40celcius eazy while playing games
Great video and superb phone . The only issue I face with the non physical proximity sensor . It's a big buggy and is not fixed with updates . How about yours ?
I have a friend that said their screen would flash on the top when they were in a call lol that’s where the proximity sensor is. Phones like the S10/20/21 series and the Note10/20 series have this same setup and I’ve never experienced any issues with it. Just make sure the phone is touching your face when you use it (side note, I do mainly use speaker phone or Bluetooth)
I have more of a question than of a comment. I keep losing group messaging and picture messages. This is the second time this has happened since purchasing new. Do you have suggestions of how to keep the phone from doing this? Not sure if it is in updating or why it is doing this? The first time it happened a friend repaired it for me but has not been able to fix this time. Can you help? Other than this problem, I have no other complaints! Thank you for listening!!
S10e - 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm S22 - 146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm iPhone 13 mini - 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.7 mm iPhone 13 - 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm So Samsung kind of does with the S22, but not
I wish they still made compact phones for later versions. The size of the s10e is perfect.
@2dawgz there will be no new version
here's ASUS Zenfone 8 now!!
@@HKB108 yeah the Zenfone 8 is an interesting device, but in terms of size it's much closer to the regular S10 than it is to the S10e (it's 6 mm longer than the S10e and only 2 shorter than the S10), and it's 20 grams heavier, and this before you add a case...

Two things they could do in the future to make this idea perfect: Remove the front facing camera entirely, and remove the Bixby button entirely.
@Ramona Workmam did you buy the s21 yet let me know how you like it because I might get it too
I've had this phone since new. It's never let me down. It's recently upgraded to Android 12 and 4.0 UI on ATT. Still going strong.
This is how all reviews should be. It reminds me of Dave2D's succinctness sprinkled with clips of real-world usage.

How much does it last?
same with my s10 I just bring a small battery pack whenever I go out
been using this baby for about a year now and i absolutely love it. easily the best phone I've had.

Im waiting for used ones to drop a bit more in price, if it gets the newest android this year, definitely getting it
200 on backmarket as of Jan 2022
What if it's all sold out and ran out of stock because of waiting too long for the price to drop?

The Bixby button is great if you disable Bixby and use an app like bxActions that lets you remap it to other functions. For instance, depending on how I press the button, I have it work as my play/pause, flashlight or notification mode change button. (single press, long press or double press and hold)
It's not the last compact flagship that has a headphone jack though, aside from others I may not know about, there is still the Sony Xperia 5 II and the upcoming Xperia 5 III. One of those are probably the route I will go once I finally replace my S10e. (using it for 2 years now)
Im thinking of buying the s10e xD why do you wanna replace it?
@@lopwidth7343 Mostly a personal use thing. I had set up my phone to use the Bixby button as a Play/Pause for media, so I could hit Play/Pause even when the phone was in my pocket. Android 11 and OneUI 3.1 collectively broke that. I also didn't like some of the changes in Android 11 from Android 10, partially related to media playback again, but was unable to roll it back to Android 10.
Basically, I loved the phone for almost 2 years and never thought about replacing it, it was perfect. Then software updates happened and over the next couple months I got frustrated enough to finally want to replace the phone.
It's a fantastic phone, but in my specific case, the software updates no longer made made it enjoyable to use. I do miss the camera though, I don't think the camera hardware is better than my new Xperia 5 II, but the basic camera software and ease of taking pictures is FAR better (just the basic app, not talking about the Pro app on the X5 II).
@@VelcroSnake93 ahh, i know exactly what you mean. I really miss android 8.1 on a Motorola phone i had. Android 9 and 10 has weird choices, that was just better in android 6-8.1. I tried IPhone, and the same thing happened. I knew it was locked down and annoying, but i thought at least it will be consistent and minimal redundancy compared to how android and google works. WRONG, as soon as iOS 14 rolled out and forced you to update, it is just as janky and inconsistent as android to look at and interact. So it's just a locked down system, with only downsides and compromises now in comparison. At least samsung is consistent, from my experience. Especially their own software. Messages, gallery, music etc
1:31 that hole punch is worse now on newer phones, at least this ones not in the middle
@RealWorldReview did u take that home screen picture yourself or can i find it somewhere for wallpaper use?
Could you tell me what tempered glass brand is?
The brand I buy isn't available for the public, but the other brand that I love to buy is this amzn.to/3vM2RjM
Thanks!
what about software updates do you think it will get android 12 or further?
My guess is Android 12 might be the last one the s10's get. Software Support ends March 2022 for all the S10/S10e/S10Plus so its a maybe if it goes beyond 12.
@@FigWidIt Yeah
It will get Android 12 because Samsung promised 3 years of updates. Unfortunately, 12 will be the last. I wish they would do their updates like Apple does, then this would be an even better buy.
@@eamonob84 ikr, 4 - 5 years atleast, maybe in the far future hopefully, Samsung has Potential to do so and Google owns Android so they literally have no exuses
Is it worth buying from Amazon(Canada)?
i just bought this today
Hi, how u find it
@@bmllamins2579 ebay
Which would be the best option? new Pixel 3 at $ 195 or new s10e at $ 320?
Pls advise do you recommend an upgrade to s21 or s20FE over s10e ( I have one)
I upgraded from the s10e to the s20fe, I actually loved this little phone but the battery just drained to quickly, I say the s20fe because it does just about everything the s21 does but u have the advantage of a micro SD card, I hope this info is helpful in your decision!
I would take the S21 unless the microsd card is essential
@@tinawashington6198 thanks, though I don't use micro SD but S20FE is a bulky. Now time has passed may be flips and folds are doing more noise. Thanks Tina for your reply.
@@_Digitalguy thanks digital guy for valuable suggestion. Yet I haven't decided to upgrade. S10e is fantastic so far with all I want. Will upgrade later. Regards
@@pramodkatti4371 Yeah, personally I am keeping my S10e for as long as possible. But if I had to upgrade, the S21 is the closest in size and screen. The S20fe has also had screen issues in some models
Is there any newer Samsung phone than this one that have both headphone jack and MST for Samsung Pay?
I currently have the note 10 exynos and i'm saddened by its battery endurance. I'm eyeing the s10e snapdragon for a while for its compact size. Would it be wise to switch? Or is it really normal for samsung to have bad battery endurance?
Still using my beautiful cardinal red s10e
Red Samsung phones are so nice. Hate how they ignore the US, other than the few versions of phones like the S3 and S4 ATT sold years ago.
Hello from the Philippines. I am cris. Can you please advise if this is a good upgrade from the S9 which is my daily driver (at this time)? My only complain with the S9 is the battery performance. Is the battery performance of S10e better than the S9? Thank you... Cris
Yes s10e have a better battery than s9 I was using S9 before and switch to s10e
@@jeankoffi5387 thank you
Currently I have a Samsung s9, I feel it is a bit slow for me, so I think maybe this could a better option for me🤔
Samsung A71
Contemplating between getting this or the Pixel 4a, or possibly 5a if it releases at $350. It's just a question of old "flagship" vs new mid range
same
S10E is the better one
Hello nice review just wana ask is it a good decision to buy samsung s10 e in 2021 and if i buy it how long will it last and yest will the battery can run the phone the whole day? Please reply
Yes
It will have 1 big sofware upgrade garanty, so android 12. It will have 2 years of security updates garanty. For 2 years its still a good phone
I have an exynos version, bought in 2020(eu) it depends on the brightniss you have youre screen on. With 30-40% i get after 1 year with dark mode apllyed 9-10hours screen on. Heavy user youtube and gaming and that will drain 100% if u use more brightness it will take 120-130% for that amount of screen time. I would say if you can buy the snapdragon version wich provides faster cpu and better battery, buy it you wouldnot regret. Exynos is also good but gets 35-40celcius eazy while playing games
I just got it for less than 300 to replace my s7
I got it the mail today. And set it up. And it is absolutely worth it holycrap
I had two of the s7 phones. They were great but I like my relatively bezeless s10e.
Now, the Note 7, that phone was a blast:)
Great video and superb phone .
The only issue I face with the non physical proximity sensor .
It's a big buggy and is not fixed with updates .
How about yours ?
I have a friend that said their screen would flash on the top when they were in a call lol that’s where the proximity sensor is. Phones like the S10/20/21 series and the Note10/20 series have this same setup and I’ve never experienced any issues with it. Just make sure the phone is touching your face when you use it (side note, I do mainly use speaker phone or Bluetooth)
@@RealWorldReview Thank you ! Didn't know that it always needed to be in contact . Will definitely try now . Thank you again !
i was waiting for the price to come down so that i can buy this phone
Link to the glass protector you use? Thanks
The one I use is from a wholesaler, but I have used this brand on other phones and like the feel amzn.to/3901lEc
I have more of a question than of a comment. I keep losing group messaging and picture messages. This is the second time this has happened since purchasing new. Do you have suggestions of how to keep the phone from doing this? Not sure if it is in updating or why it is doing this? The first time it happened a friend repaired it for me but has not been able to fix this time. Can you help? Other than this problem, I have no other complaints! Thank you for listening!!
Might be a network issue. Make sure you’re using the built in Samsung app. Or you can use the google messages
I wish Samsung brings same size model every time they launch a new model
S10e - 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm
S22 - 146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm
iPhone 13 mini - 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.7 mm
iPhone 13 - 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm
So Samsung kind of does with the S22, but not
2:05 is your head protected with gorilla glass… what?! Hehe
i want this is 2021
It's still worth Android 12 & one ui 4 updated 🔥
How's battery life on it? Thanks
exynos version is pretty weak, about 4 hours sot with dark theme and power saving on
