The new Samsung Galaxy S10e doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that are packed inside its two larger siblings, but to me, it’s a much better option.
Samsung recently unveiled its latest and greatest smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. Wait, that’s not right, is it? Did you even notice I didn’t mention the Samsung Galaxy S10e? Well, of course you did because it’s the in the title for this article, but play along.
There are a lot of people talking about the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. Yes, they are Samsung’s new flagship phones and whenever the largest company in the world in a given field announces something new, it’s probably newsworthy. But, not a lot of people are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S10e. A cheaper phone being overshadowed by its more expensive siblings is nothing new, but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited for it. In fact, of the three phones, I’m the most excited for the “budget” option.
I’m not going to spend much time in this article talking about the price. I’ve ranted quite enough recently about the price of phones to really need to touch on that here. But, for many people, the $150 savings is reason enough to purchase this over the S10 or the Plus. That’s perfectly fine.
No, at the top of my list for reasons I’m excited about the S10e is that display. It’s been several years now since Samsung released a flagship phone with a flat display. I do miss my Samsung Galaxy S7 from time to time for that very reason. And hey, I get it, the curved display looks great, but it’s just not my jam.
