a great phone this time from Samsung the
samsung galaxy s 10 e is an amazing
budget phone that feels just as premium
as the top-tier phones it has a very
beautiful design amazing performance and
it has almost every feature that the S
10 and s 10 plus have it comes in white
black yellow and green it has a very
beautiful design it looks nearly the
same as the S 10 with some minor
different features which are great it
has an infinity ODIs play and that looks
perfectly fine it has pretty thin bezels
and carefully molded glass the backside
is shiny but has a cripple casing which
looks pretty awesome it doesn’t have the
infinity edge like the S 10 and the S 10
plus but in my opinion it’s better to
have a flat display a great feature is
that the fingerprint scanner is not on
the back of the phone but it’s at the
power button and it’s extremely fast it
has a USB C port microphone port speaker
grille and a 3.5 millimeter headphone
jack and these are placed at the bottom
on the right side it has a power button

brilliant it has the Snapdragon 855

too has some great shooting modes and my
favorite is live focus the Samsung
Galaxy S 10 he has a 3100 mAh battery
that’s not the best but it can last you
a day in my opinion that’s good enough
overall this one is one of the best
budget phones when it was first released
