Samsung announced the latest iteration of its symbolic S series of devices. Besides their flagship S10 and S10+, Samsung has introduced an affordable S10e which packs the features of its flagship sibling without the added cost. These newest offerings seem to resemble a line up similar to that of Apple.
With S10e, Samsung wishes to provide a flagship level performance within an aggressive price bracket that is both sleek and nimble to take on the rivals such as the One Plus 6T or the iPhone XR.
The Samsung Galaxy S10e sports a smaller 5.8 inches Full HD+ AMOLED infinity-O display with an Exynos 9820 SoC same as the S10. Pictures come through a 12-MP wide-angle sensor with 16MP fixed-focus sensor on the back while font uses a camera unit similar to the one on the S10. Battery comes in at 3100mAh with an optional 128GB or 256GB internal storage which can be expanded through a micro SD card. Fingerprint sensor sits on the back of the device which is a bummer as In-screen tech would have been a good addition.
